Feuerwehr benutzt in Satzung männliche & weibliche Bezeichnungen.

CDU: Verlangt via Antrag Festlegung auf ein Geschlecht + Ergänzung "umfasst alle geschlechtliche Formen"

Feuerwehr wählt rein weibliche Bezeichnung.

CDU: "Widerspricht Wertschätzung gegenüber allen Feuerwehrangehörigen."

🤡🤡🤡
Nur weibliche Formen: Gender-Zoff wegen Feuerwehr-Satzung in Friedrichsdorf
Streit um geschlechtergerechte Sprache: In Friedrichsdorf sorgt eine Feuerwehr-Satzung, die nur noch weibliche Amtsbezeichnungen kennt, für reichlich Zündstoff zwischen Bürgermeister und CDU-Fraktion.

And if you want to order them already printed, you can get them printed by a union shop 15 different languages! $40 for packs of 100, get a thousand for $95!

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

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.

Need to flip a 🪙 with another person but not sitting next to each other? Crypto (the math-based technology, not the shitcoin-producing abyss) got you covered: faircoinflip.alech.de. [And yes, I vibe-coded this. Sue me. It was fun and a useful use of $3.30]

Again, I know this will upset some AI haters, but I worry that in our efforts to stop all AI, we're going to end up shutting down the open internet in ways we won't easily get back.

Ella requested some out-of-enclosure time, and was granted it, right until she decided to start jumping at anything she wanted to explore. I refuse to get her this close to adulthood and let her be eaten by a cat.

I think the White House was hoping the first arrest of a person exercising their 1st Amendment rights would be a transgendered person of color immigrant
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."

it's 2038. nobody remembers how technology works

every day, humans argue endlessly with the latest AI model. a model subject to years of gastroincestuous data, as humans no longer provided useful data themselves

the only remaining data type is string

the string is a prompt

Is there any known problem with the Internet Archives "Print Disabled" access? Looks like all the downloadable files have been vanished?

(Access isn't very "print disabled" if it can't be loaded into a TTS, tbh.)

Das ist Kyle Langford.
Er will Gouverneur in Kalifornien für die Republikaner werden.

Das ist eigentlich alles was man über die USA allgemein und die Republikaner im speziellen wissen muss.
