Bundeskanzler Merz fliegt zwar zur Klimakonferenz und suggeriert, er kümmere sich. Aber kaum ist er zurück, düpiert er die Gastgeber und macht das Fliegen billiger. Das ist pure

Friedrich Merz: Die So-als-ob-Politik
Der Kanzler verspricht Klimaschutz und will gleichzeitig Fliegen billiger machen. Und er ist damit nicht allein. Das zeigt, wie sehr Trump inzwischen abfärbt.

Wahre Größe ist, einen Fehler zu erkennen, ihn zu benennen und versuchen zu korrigieren.
Huber bedauerte die autofreundliche Politik, die er in seiner aktiven Zeit betrieben hatte. »Zeit meines politischen Lebens bin ich sehr stark für den Straßenbau eingetreten. Die Benachteiligung der Schiene gegenüber den Straßen gehört zu den großen Schwächen meines politischen Lebens«, sagte er.

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.
This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

I mean, if Trump gets to run a third time, so does Obama, no? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Democrats are searching for their next leader. But they still have Obama.
Obama’s reemergence is a reminder of the rudderlessness of the Democratic Party, which is still reeling from stinging losses in 2024.

Never underestimate how much the idea "everybody(!) should have nice things" leads people to hateful jealousy at the notion that others might have nice things too.... That is why Zohran Mamdani may still loose, as jealous hate-voters will go for Cuomo.

Heute im Seminar 'Zugang & Teilhabe' über Konflikte zwischen Urheberrechten & Zugangsrechten gesprochen -- im Zuge dessen auch Sven Regeners "Wut-Rede" von 2012 vorgespielt. Interessant, sie vor aktuellem Hintergrund (Streaming statt Plattenverkäufen, KI-Content usw.) nochmal zu hören! #Copyethics
