A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle
One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things. I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father. Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking. She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking. I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person. My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right". None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didnt believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing, enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got. Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived. Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.

I'll say it again, as this is ramping up: if you gave access to the archives of goverment data and information, it is your moral responsibility to make sure that untouched versions get preserved, now. There are people worh archival expertise who can help you, if you don't have it yourself. Start now

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

In diesem Monat wird alles anders. Es wird hoffentlich so vor allem mittel- bis langfristig schön. Aber erstmal wird es vermutlich sehr hart.

Es ist soweit: USA-Reisen für trans und nonbinäre Personen mit geändertem Geburtsgeschlecht nicht mehr ohne Weiteres möglich. Das Auswärtige Amt hat heute Reise- und Sicherheitshinweise geändert und empfiehlt vor der Einreise Kontakt zu US-Auslandsvertretung […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
Aufgrund einer Executive Order vom 20. Januar 2025 müssen Einreisende in die USA in Zukunft bei ESTA- oder Visumanträgen entweder das Geschlecht „männlich“ oder „weiblich“ angeben; relevant ist hierbei der Geschlechtseintrag der antragstellenden Person zum Zeitpunkt der Geburt. Reisende, die den Geschlechtseintrag „X“ innehaben oder deren aktueller Geschlechtseintrag von ihrem Geschlechtseintrag bei Geburt abweicht, sollten vor Einreise die zuständige Auslandsvertretung der USA in Deutschland kontaktieren und die geltenden Einreisevoraussetzungen in Erfahrung zu bringen.

Ich frage mich, ob die Demokraten in den USA wirklich nicht verstehen, dass es keine freien Wahlen mehr geben wird? Bestenfalls laufen die nächsten Wahlen wie in Russland ab …

In den letzten Wochen wurden zahlreiche lebenslange politische Überzeugungen von mir pulverisiert. Insbesondere gestern war wieder so ein Tag. Es ist schwer, nicht die Hoffnung zu verlieren.

Team Merz omitting Kurt Georg (Kiesinger) from the list of ex-CDU chancellors makes sense since he was a former Nazi, but leaving out Angela (Merkel) is more notable. We are close to the new CDU leadership declaring her as damnatio memoriae in spite of leading the party for more than two decades.

Meine Theorie zur US-Wahl: Die werden in Kalifornien erst fertig zählen, wenn die Demokraten die US-weiten forensischen Untersuchungen der Wahl-Manipulation abgeschlossen haben und veröffentlichen wollen. So lange dürfen sich die Republikaner selbst demontieren. Deswegen auch die betäubende Stille.

Ob wohl ein eher regionaler "Mutter-Kind-Blog" funktionieren würde? Vor allem, wenn ich das Kind nicht (wirklich) zeige und keine Videos drehe? Mehr so cooles Spielzeug, schönes Kinderbuch, toller Ausflugsort? Mir würde ja reichen, wenn paar Leute aktiv mitlesen. Hm...
