@OurWorldInData But it’s not really the mosquitos who kill humans, but the pathogens they transmit inadvertently.

One and a half million people are killed by animals every year. Almost one million by other animals, and more than half a million from direct conflict among ourselves. Almost all of these deaths from other animals are caused by just two types: mosquitoes and snakes. In this chart, @_HannahRitchie and Fiona Spooner have brought together estimates of the number of people killed by different animals.

@tintingha @derspiegel Das iranischen Nuklearprogramm wurde doch schon vor ein paar Monaten komplett ausgelöscht. Jedenfalls, wenn man Trump glauben darf.

@derspiegel Damit das iranische Regime keine Nuklearwaffen entwickeln kann. Von diesem Krieg werden langfristig alle in der Welt profitieren.

Die USA und Israel zeigen gegen Iran ihre militärische Überlegenheit. Aber zehn Tage nach Kriegsbeginn weiß immer noch niemand, wofür dieser Krieg eigentlich geführt wird. Dafür zahlt die Welt bereits einen zu hohen Preis. #ref=rss" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spiegel.de/ausland/irankr…

@RonDeSantis What does it mean that god is male if he doesn‘t have chromosomes or sexual organs. That he identifies as male? That he uses male pronouns?

A candidate for statewide office in Texas claiming God is “nonbinary”? That dog won’t hunt.

@LinkofSunshine Free trade just for one hemisphere? She is such a hemisphericist!

Idc man I will never hate her

The arguments about Iran are so polarised that no one wants to admit that several things are true at once: You'd be a fool not to have serious reservations about the idea of a regime change war, especially in the Middle East. You'd also be a fool to allow terrorist-funding lunatics to develop nuclear weapons. Neither the people condemning these strikes, nor the people cheering them on know how this is going to work out. So far, Trump Administration interventions have been extraordinarily successful in achieving valid objectives within a highly limited scope. The strikes on Iran during the 12 day war achieved destruction of several nuclear facilities. The Venezuela operation decapitated the hostile regime and replaced Maduro with a non-hostile leader. Both also achieved significant "don't fuck with us" deterrence globally. However, it is not remotely clear at this moment in time whether something similar can be achieved in Iran. I understand and fully empathise with the people who think regime change is not going to work in Iran and you'll end up with the same as what you had or worse. And I understand just as much the people who celebrate an evil dictator being killed and Iran's nuclear and military assets being degraded further. The thing we do not know, and the thing that will determine whether this has all been worth it, is what the future leadership of Iran will look like. This seems to me to be the biggest risk Donald Trump has taken at any time in his first or second term. If it pays off, the reward both domestically and globally will be huge. If it doesn't and things go south, it could derail his Presidency and define his legacy like Iraq did for Blair and Bush. Very few people have any idea which of these scenarios is more likely and one thing is for sure: none of them are talking about it on social media because they're all sitting in command bunkers, not on X. I hope the people of Iran are released from living under tyranny. I hope the peoples of the Middle East can live in peace. I hope the takeaway for any would-be terrorist is the realisation that October 7 might not have been such a good idea. I hope that with the Middle East stabilised, the US can turn its attentions to the theatres that really matters to the security of the West: Russia and China. Whether any of that happens remains to be seen and it seems the hardest thing for anyone to do is to not express an opinion before the smoke has cleared.

@hashjenni I wouldn‘t talk to a 5 year old about the Epstein files.

can someone please explain to me, like im 5, why is US attacking Iran?

@aakashgupta Damn! And I already killed myself!

@AlexAndBooks_ Bankman-Fried graduated from MIT in physics and math. I wonder how he did this without ever reading a book.

Andrew Tate: "Reading books is for losers...Books are a total waste of time." Kanye West: "I am not a fan of books...I am a proud non-reader of books." Sam Bankman-Fried: "I would never read a book." Don't be like these guys. Pick up a book today.

@DeeWaynee94 And he is so good at expressing himself that you get hundreds of different denominations as a result.

If “god speaking to you” needs paper, ink, editors, translators, and your pastor to explain it… then it’s not god talking. It’s humans talking and calling it god.

@Kekius_Sage The whole planet earth came from space,so no surprise here.

🚨Scientists have now found all of the DNA and RNA bases in meteorites This suggests humans didn’t originate on Earth — we came from space.

@SJaiswal1024 @SpillTheMemes Yes signs means unterschreiben. A pen is a “stift”, a more general word for all kinds of pens.

@denilck @SpillTheMemes Duolingo says it is pen and ballpoint pen. Also, is tge word for sign correct?

😂

@SJaiswal1024 @SpillTheMemes Kugelschreiber actually means ballpoint pen

@SpillTheMemes I as an agnostic thank God for not letting Germans win ww2. I am grateful that it were the British and Spanish who colonized the world and not Germans.

@Acyn Is she talking to Raskin? „Washed up lawyer“? If any he is a „washed up“ law professor.

Bondi: YOU DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING YOU WASHED UP LAWYER!

@andikynast Ich frage mich was passiert wäre wenn die USA/NATO zu diesem Zeitpunkt massiv Truppen in die Ukraine verlegt hätte. Hätte das nicht einen Krieg verhindert? Russland hätte sich dann ja problemlos gesichtswahrend aus der Affäre ziehen können.

Heute vor 4 Jahren: Lawrow wirft dem Westen vor, Russland völlig unbegründet zu beschuldigen. All die westlichen Aussagen, nach denen die Konzentration russischer Truppen an der Grenze zur Ukraine dazu dienen könnte, einen Einmarsch vorzubereiten, seien „bloße Provokationen“.

@HatesPorter @UjuAnya Literally the leader of christianity bro:

@UjuAnya Literally the leaders of atheism lil bro

The country is so immoral, greedy, and wicked *because* it’s religious.

@juliet_turner6 How about a compromise: If you don‘t want children maybe you have any nieces or nephews you could support, to raise the inclusive fitness of your white genes.

@Bildungskind Der Null Meridian spielt aber keine Rolle. Hier geht es um Breitengrade, die sich am Äquator orientieren. Aber das mit den Einheiten stimmt natürlich.

Tja, die Aliens haben vorhergesehen, dass der Nullmeridian durch Greenwich laufen wird und wir den Meter und die Sekunde genau so definieren.

@Bricktop_NAFO I just googled it. The US olympic team isn‘t even federally sponsored. It‘s 100% private.

There are growing calls to bring home the American athletes that are criticizing the actions of Dear Leader Donnie. The ‘American Patriots’ can’t handle the fact the athletes are being outspoken on the world stage.
