In the German city of Göttingen, the temperature jumped from -24°C to 18°C within the span of a single week. To clarify, that is a difference in temperature of 42°C in 7 days. For those who need to hear it again: COVID19 was just the dress rehearsal! haz.de/Nachrichten/Der-Norde…

W. E. B. Du Bois was born on this day in 1868.
In 1900, he created this iconic series of graphs, charts, tables, and maps for the Exposition Universelle in Paris, to present the authentic lives of Black people in the southern Unites States to a world audience.

terrible news, Italian ambassador to DR Congo killed in kidnapping attempt in Eastern Congo. No-one claimed the attack, but took place in Virunga Park...
The governor of North Kivu province, Carly Nzanzu Kasivita, told Reuters the assailants stopped the convoy by firing warning shots. They killed the driver and were leading the others into the forest when park rangers opened fire. reuters.com/article/us-congo…
