Der TA Media Gruppe reicht es nicht, Gewinn zu erzielen. Es muss immer mehr werden. Auch wenn der Würgegriff am Geldhahn die Zeitungen erdrosselt, die Dividende ist das höchste Gut. Und auch hier wie andernorts: Kapitalismus im Endstadium, Wegbereiter des Neofaschismus.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Nancy Gibb‘s award-winning TIME magazine cover story on 9/11: „If you want to humble an empire it makes sense to maim its cathedrals. They are symbols of its faith, and when they crumple and burn, it tells us we are not so powerful and we can’t be safe“ (published 9/14/01) time.com/3313113/if-y...

Im Klartext: Reiche Neoliberale bauen sich ein Propagandainstitut. Ihre reichen, neoliberalen Freunde schützen es vor medialer Kritik. Schöne Welt.

Vor vier Wochen erschien unser AfD-Gutachten. Drei Erkenntnisse, die noch viel zu wenig durchgedrungen sind: 1. Es gibt keine gemäßigte Strömung mehr in der AfD. Die Partei richtet sich als Ganzes gegen unsere Grundordnung. Die Vorstellung, ohne Höcke & Co. wäre alles gut, ist falsch.

Die Realität hat die "Panikmache"-Szenarien von Wissenschaftlern längst eingeholt.

It would seem, dear Chat, that we are indeed cooked.

When has a convicted felon (and rapist) ever been relevant in international relations?

I have 3 axioms that help me decide when to talk to people I disagree with: 1. To debate a subject is to concede that the subject is debatable. 2. To reason with a person is to concede that the person is reasonable. 3. To ask for evidence of a claim is to concede that the claim might be true.

Heartbreaking scene: the endless need for increased shareholder profit has profaned all that is sacred, and ruined the magic of your childhood with endless sequels and remakes to monetize every human emotion.

Dass man als Regierung einen Tankrabatt wegen der hohen Benzin- und Diesel-Preise verkünden kann und gleichzeitig den Einsatz für den Fortbestand des Verbrennungsmotors noch mal verstärkt, ohne sich dabei total albern vorzukommen, finde ich wirklich erstaunlich.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Die Schweizer Aussenpolitik in einem Diagramm.

Kann sich mal ein:e Journalist:in die weirden anonymen Anzeigen und Gruppen auf Linkedin vorknöpfen, die Stimmung für die 10-Millionen-Schweiz Initiative vom 14. Juni machen? Fühlt sich koordiniert und teuer an. www.linkedin.com/company/chao... www.linkedin.com/company/wohn...

Just a reminder that virtually the entire Republican party, and absolutely the entire Trump White House, is actively covering for this.

I will never forgive America for not giving you the chance you deserved. No lies told, sir. Thank you for always speaking for us.🫡💙

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

A group of ten local residents climbed 800 meters above the city and lit 450 torches to form the message: "No Kings." This is how Davos welcomed Trump.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

At last, I got around setting up www.plex.tv/plexamp/ with my NAS. Now I can finally listen to my 90ies to 10ies pirated music library like in the olden days. Getting Google Music goosebumps <3 (still miss u).

Also den Vertrag, der dafür sorgt, dass Kapital und Arbeitsplätze in der Schweiz bleiben findet die SVP ganz schlimm. Aber den Vertrag mit dem 200 Mia. Investitionen von Schweizer Firmen in den USA und nicht in der Schweiz getätigt werden ganz grossartig? Patriotismus ging auch schon mal anders.

#ICYMI Happy summer solstice! 🌞 🌍 This year's solstice happened at exactly 04:42 CEST on 21 June, the moment the Sun reached its northernmost point in the sky. Viewed from space, these images capture a full year of shifting light and shadow, from one June solstice to the next 🧪🔭

@anatudor.bsky.social almost solved my eternal struggle with a dash border animation on hovering a button on my website (adorable-squid.ch) *__* Would love to see how you would solve it for a case of a continued animation! I never found a solution that works in Safari :/

The main qualification required to be named to the trump administration is to be unqualified.

Diese Zerstörungswut ist schon lange nicht mehr verhältnismässig. Der Stop der Hilfslieferungen lässt sich nicht rechtfertigen. Hier leidet die gesamte Bevölkerung Höllenqualen. Wie lange lassen wir das noch zu? Bis zum Endsieg? republik.ch/2025/05/09/d...

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. Tax the rich.

da bin ich ja beruhigt.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
