Yesterday I participated in a panel on the German state elections. As a colleague was providing the student with examples of how extreme the AfD is, all I kept thinking was, this is also what the U.S. government says…

I think there may be people who haven’t heard of this incident, since the movie hasn’t been made yet, so:

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Endlich kritisiert mal jemand Linke und Grüne.

System76 COSMIC projects will no longer accept LLM-generated content in code submissions #System76 #OpenSource #COSMIC #Linux #AI #GenAI

Faschismus erscheint Bürgerlichen immer wie die schmutzige letzte Notoption, die man ziehen kann, wenn man „die Linken“ gerade so unbändig und irrational hasst, dass man ihnen einfach mal ordentlich eins reinwürgen will. Das ist das Grundproblem.

Please, chase the ace combat trend of having excellent writing and hype as fuck soundtracks in your games thank you

We arrived at the hotel just as all the local restaurants were closing so we hadn’t eaten all day but fortunately there was a little pizza stand to get a traditional NYC slice of pie.

Unser heutiger Sozialstaat (so unvollkommen er auch ist) wurde von Konservativen mitaufgebaut. Nicht weil sie so großherzige Menschen waren (die katholische Soziallehre war immer nur für eine Minderheit in der CDU/CSU handlungsleitend), sondern weil sie ihre Macht sichern wollten.

Waren Bismarck, Erzberger und Adenauer Linke? Bismarck führte die Sozialversicherung in Deutschland ein, Erzberger(Zentrum) die Vermögenssteuer und die progressive Einkommensteuer (in Koalition mit der SPD), Adenauer (mit Hilfe der SPD und gegen Ludwig Erhards Widerstand) die dynamische Rente.

Wir leben ja leider in einer Zeit, in der eine Karriere mit so einer Aktion nicht endet, sondern anfängt.

Von Tag zu Tag verliert man leider mehr das Vertrauen in Redaktionen, die dem Amateur und Buntschriftsteller Brodkorb eine Plattform bieten und ihm Legitimität verschaffen.
