Die Parteien im demokratischen Spektrum (außer aktuell "PDL" und Teile von Grün) glänzen noch nicht mal mehr mit leeren Versprechungen das Leben von Menschen zu verbessern. Sie drohen ja nur mit Gürtel enger schnallen und viel mehr Arbeit. Einzige Gemeinsamkeit ist: Ausländer raus - in Abstufungen.

Die aktuellen Debatten über eine Entkernung des Sozialstaates mitten in einer Phase wirtschaftlicher Schwäche, in der mehr Menschen noch stärker auf eben diesen angewiesen sein könnten - das darf man wohl Konjunkturprogramm für Extremismus nennen.

As these teens describe, AI can diminish human relationships; devalue art; threaten the environment; lead to laziness; give unreliable results; pose privacy concerns; and be misused.
So, please, stop with the narratives of inevitability and let's embrace a pedagogy and politics of refusal.

Kind of amazing: Japan’s thoroughly corrupt LDP which has run the country into severe trouble might be heading for a huge election win. Germany’s CDU (with an even worse track record) will surely feel emboldened by this.
FREE FOR ALL READERS: A new poll from Asahi suggests that a landslide victory for the LDP could be coming. Meanwhile, Takaichi stirs up controversy on the yen, and takes a break from campaigning to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Chotiner: Tell me what you found interesting about these vampires.
Documentarian: Well, it's just -- the group dynamics, I guess.
Chotiner: I can see that. I can see finding Nandor, Laszlo and Nadia entertaining.

Yesterday in #Siracusa, the #OceanViking team disembarked the body of the woman we recovered at sea.
We held a ceremony to honour her.
She is the visible trace of thousands of invisible deaths in the #Mediterranean, where at least 32,342 people have gone missing since 2014.

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."

"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."
![Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.

can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.
