Die Antwort auf #Trump ist nicht atomare Aufrüstung, sondern mehr Willy Brandt und weniger Rheinmetall. Europa braucht eine Politik, die auf Ausgleich, soziale Gerechtigkeit und Diplomatie setzt. Dafür steht Martin Schirdewan und #DieLinke
Debatte über EU-Atombomben nach Äußerung von Barley
An der Verlässlichkeit der USA als NATO-Partner bestehen seit einer Trump-Rede große Zweifel. SPD-Europakandidatin Barley bringt deshalb EU-eigene Atombomben ins Spiel. Brandgefährlich sei das, kritisiert ein Parteigenosse.
So, I had to talk about #Sparta! A warrior society focused on war, women had more rights than their #Athenian counterparts -- and were encouraged to be physically fit and prepared to fight to defend their homeland.
Sparta
Unlike their Greek counterparts, the women of Sparta had a lot more freedom and status. They were educated, since they would be in charge of keeping the homeland running smoothly while the men were at war – but they were also strong and able to defend themselves and their homeland.
Spartan men and women lived in separate quarters – even while married. Married couples would leave their respective quarters to procreate, and Spartan wives were required to have short hair and sometimes wore men’s clothing.
Amongst married couples, the Spartans were relatively #polyamorous, and women were not punished for infidelity.
Something I would love to know more about are the #ElusinianMysteries. But thanks to the cult's secrecy (and #Christianity), we may never know all the details...
Elusinian Mysteries
There were two Eleusinian rites – the Lesser One, and the Greater One. While the details of these rites were a carefully guarded secret, what is known is that the Greater Rite took place over many days, involved #music and #dancing, #sacrifices of grain and a bull, #ritual purification in a river, and the consumption of a #SacredBeverage that was believed to be #hallucinogenic.
The beverage, known as #kykeon, was made from #barley, #pennyroyal, and other ingredients.
I like the black lentil + purple barley combination. This morning I had an inspiration: I shall make another batch — 1.75 cups black lentils and 1.75 cups purple barley (measured before cooking and cooked separately), and as I mix in the starter culture, I'll also mix in 1/2 cup sprouted sunflower seed.
My difficulty is keeping the tempeh cool enough. Once it gets going, it gets far too hot. My current batch is 41°C (interior temperature), but the edges feel cool and are not yet entirely ready. It's sitting on a rack in a cool room. The culture gets killed at high temps.
What would you do in this situation?
It's close to done. Photo below shows it at 73 hours, but I'll let it go for a few more hours. The temperature toward the center, measured with an infrared thermometer, is 97.4fºF / 36.3ºC.
You can see an image compare with a slider at the bottom of this post:
Frau #Barley wir haben da einen Vorschlag schnippschnipp. Wie wäre es das #Fediverse zu unterstützen und die Accounts bei X alle zu deaktivieren? @netzpolitik
Barley soll offenbar SPD-Spitzenkandidatin für die Europawahl werden
Schon zur letzten Europawahl trat sie an - nun zieht Katarina Barley laut dpa-Informationen erneut als Spitzenkandidatin der SPD in den Wahlkampf. Vor ihrer Arbeit im EU-Parlament war sie unter anderem Ministerin in Berlin.
I'm making a new batch of BROL (1 cup each of barley, rye, and oats cooked & mixed with 1 cup of cooked beluga lentils). I'm using purple barley this time. Purple barley is a hull-less variety.
"#Morocco’s harvest of three main grains, soft #wheat, #durum, and #barley, dropped 43% to 3.12 million tons in 2024, due to a severe #drought that slashes cultivated areas."
