  1. Iran verdient trotz Hormusblockade 40 Prozent mehr als vor dem Krieg. Die Golfstaaten haben dagegen zehn Millionen Barrel täglich verloren. Das Paradox einer Blockade, die ihre Ziele verfehlt.

  2. Another month … another series of local elections in the U.S. @bolts’s @taniel has once again detailed which 40 we should be watching, from high-profile contests like the New York City mayor and New Jersey governor primaries, to a ballot measure on book bans in a California city.

  3. Farmers struggle to make a profit at the best of times, and times just got worse. @gbhnews spotlights how cuts in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s federal grant programs mean Massachusetts schools, food hubs and food pantries can’t buy fresh produce, and farmers are left with cases of unwanted produce. Who wins? No one.

  4. Last of all, Atlas Obscura’s story about a giant almond that’s driving its way around America, and the uniquely American habit of making massive food vehicles, which @CultureDesk shared earlier this week. They wanted to know if any other countries had Poutine Mobiles, Camembert Camions or Kartoffelwagens. “Keep your wiener and almonds to yourselves,” wrote one commenter.

  5. Earlier this week, all American eyes were on Wisconsin as two judges duked it out for a seat on the state’s supreme court — a race that Elon Musk poured millions into. @bolts’s Alex Burness wrote the definitive story on what happened and what it all means. “Today should be a breaking point for our state. Even if your preferred candidate wins, … every single Wisconsinite should be alarmed at this grotesque billionaire arms race,” Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Center, told Bolts late Tuesday, before the result was announced. “The past two months have shown us a terrifying preview of what’s coming: an America where billionaires run the show, and the rest of us are just spectators.”

  6. The word friends used to describe convenience store worker and part-time DJ Matthew Allison: Goofy. This @ProPublica report explains how he was also a key figure in Terrorgram, a network of white supremacist chat groups and channels. He was arrested last year; prosecutors say he used the Telegram platform to solicit attacks on government infrastructure, encourage the assassination of politicians and distribute instructions for making bombs.

  7. 50 years ago, Tim Bliss and Terje Lømo worked in the Oslo lab of the late neuroscientist Per Andersen, where they made a momentous discovery: the fact that when a neuron signals to another neuron frequently enough, the second one will later respond more strongly to new signals for hours afterwards. The phenomenon is called long-term potentiation (LTP) and it’s fundamental to how we learn and remember. @KnowableMag talked to Bliss and Lømo about their discovery, and to other neuroscientists about how they’re applying knowledge about LTP to their research about memory disorders, chronic pain and more.

  8. Indiana has practically the lowest voter turnout in America. @bolts’s @taniel reports on efforts that will probably make it even lower. “Legislation banning the use of student IDs for voting passed the state Senate with near unanimous Republican support in early February and now sits with the GOP-run House,” he writes.

  9. I've been wanting to do a quick #FollowFriday for a while. These are three accounts I follow and like so much that I am willing to pay to support them. They do really fantastic work and are well worth following, boosting, and supporting if you can!

  10. In 2022, organizers in California introduced a bill to have solitary confinement limited, and banned completely for pregnant people and other vulnerable groups. The bill was called the Mandela Act. For @bolts, Piper French writes about how the bill evolved beyond recognition — so much so that it now codifies in California law that it is permissible to use solitary confinement against pregnant people — and how that happened.

  11. I listened to this yesterday. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Part of is was the great performance of the narrator David Silbey but it is primarily because of the fantastic writing of Sophie Elmhirst. I feel like this story would make a great small-scale film.

  17. There is another #Mastodon instance by a #PublicBroadcaster, and it's the second biggest: I added the accounts on social.npo.nl/directory to my table
    docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d
    They make #Dutch the fourth-largest language.

    Now I know of four instances by a public broadcaster, two from Germany, one from Britain and this one. Which other verified media accounts did I miss?
