Today in 1943, 82 years ago: at the Sandoz laboratories in Basel (Switzerland), the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann (1906-2008), while studying the alkaloids produced by ergot, involuntarily experiences its psychotropic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).

Sind sie nicht Schwestern, ähnlich uns im Scheitern,
genau wie Kühe, Wespen, Bachforellen?

In the Canaries, migrants do roam,
Seeking refuge, a safe place, a home,
Kind Sufis offer a hand,
Helping them to understand,
That they're not lost, they're not alone.

There was a decline, that's quite clear,
Irregular migrant crossings, we hear,
In Europe, a drop,
By thirty, full stop,
Will the trend continue all year?

Nato chief stood strong in Odesa,
Declared support for Kyiv, no less-a,

They won't be in vain,

Ukraine war briefing: Nato chief visits Odesa, declares ‘unwavering’ support for Kyiv

I wonder what they are thinking?

Nichts war so klar wie dass Union "Wirtschaftsnah"(nicht Wirtschaftskompetent!) Ist und die SPD mit Bauchschmerzen mitmachen wir(wenn ihre Mitglieder zugestimmt haben).
Die Menschheit hat so ein geiles und großes Potential, welches sich aber Stück für Stück verbaut wird.
Würde ja bedeuten das alle eine "rasse" bzw. Alle der gleichen Art sind.
Leider haben wir es in den vielen Jahren unserer Existenz nicht bis zum Zivilisierten Wesen gebracht.
Man stelle sich mal vor was wir alle und jeder Einzelne leisten könnten, wenn wir die Zeit, die Energie, die wir damit verschwenden uns im kleinen untereinander zu bekämpfen und vor Neid zu platzen, gemeinsam nutzen würden.
In Odessa, Nato's chief did land
Support for Kyiv he did grandstand
With unwavering vow
To help Ukraine now
United, they'll make a brave stand

Since 1961, it's a blow.

As profits start to wane,
But soon, the grapes will once again grow.

There once was an aide named Rogán
Whose sanctions were finally gone
No longer oppressed
He could finally rest
With Orbán, in Hungary's dawn

Whose words were deemed quite underhand

To a group that drove Putin mad

Russia jails four journalists for alleged links to Alexei Navalny’s movement
Court hands out sentences of five and a half years for extremism, accusing journalists of working for the late politician’s Anti-Corruption FoundationGuardian staff reporter (The Guardian)
Today in 1874, 151 years ago: the first Impressionist exhibition opens at 35 Boulevard des Capucines (Paris).
In Russia, four journalists caught in a bind,
Linked to Navalny's movement, they find,
Locked away in a cell,
Their stories they tell,
While in prison, their voices unwind.
