Bei der Gelegenheit sollte man mal wieder Gerhard Bronner zitieren:
(via @wemeze.bsky.social )
"Es gibt drei Dinge, die sich nicht vereinen lassen: Intelligenz, Anständigkeit und Nationalsozialismus. Man kann intelligent und Nazi sein. Dann ist man nicht anständig. Man kann anständig und Nazi sein. Dann ist man nicht intelligent. Und man kann anständig und intelligent sein. Dann ist man kein Nazi."

If you are reluctant to #CancelDisney in light of ABC/Disney firing #JimmyKimmel because your kids watch #Disney, head over to #Netflix and watch "Dead Poets Society" with them and teach them the importance of standing up to #Authoritarianism and the importance of freedom of thought.
Still image from the movie Dead Poets Society. Students standing on their desks in defiance of their authoritarian headmaster and in support of their open minded teacher Mr. Keating, played by Robin Williams (pictured on the left).

Courtney Cox, best known for dancing on stage to "Dancing in the Dark" with The Boss.
(Okay, some people might actually know this)
Screenshot from Bruce Springsteen's music video of "Dancing in the dark" showing him dancing on stage with a very young Courtney Cox who's wearing a white T-shirt with cut of sleeves and a pixie haircut.

The reality of Trickle-Down Economics...
A cartoon describing Trickle-Down Economics: Several birds sitting on a pyramid shaped ladder. The single bird at the top is looking very smug. The further down the ladder, the more the birds are covered in bird poop from the levels above and are thus increasingly disgruntled.

Caricature from Star Tribune. A huge set of scales. One side, up in the air, filled to the brim with people and labeled "Virtually every scientist in the world". The other side with one single person sitting in the middle with an oafish expression on his face weighing everyone else down, labeled "climate denier". One of the scientists is musing "Either he's THAT dense or he doesn't believe in gravity either."

"Tank Woman"
David Pope in Canberra Times
#NoKings
A cartoon mirroring the Tiananmen Square Tank Man photo. There are four tanks moving down a street. They bear signs saying 'happy birthday mister president'. The last tank has a red balloon attached to it. In the background is a prisoner transport bus with a sign that says ICE. In front of the tanks stands Lady Liberty holding shopping bags just as Tiananmen Square Tank Man did.

War heute im Süntel auf dem Hohenstein.

I feel you!
Our designated chancellor is only marginally less despicable than Trump. 😒
My personal escapism mostly consists of cycling to my heart's content, gaming and wrangling 125 lbs of exuberant four-legged vitality. 😅

Kleine Nebenstraße zwischen Feldern, gesperrt wegen Krötenwanderung.
Klappt ja mal wieder wunderbar mit dem Befolgen von Verkehrsregeln. 😒
#Brummbrumm
Eine schmale Nebenstraße, versperrt mit zwei Baustellen-Absperrungen mit aufgesetzten Blinklichtern. Neben der Absperrung zeugt eine deutliche Spur über den Feldrand davon, dass zahlreiche Autos die Absperrung einfach umfahren haben.

Zum Vergleich wie es auch aussehen kann.
(der im Verhältnis hohe Stromverbrauch liegt auch daran, dass auf meiner Pendelstrecke rund 500 Höhenmeter liegen)
Die rechte Hälfte der Grafik war meine Fahrt zur Familie heute incl Staus.
Ein reines E-Auto ginge noch einiges sparsamer.

A cartoon titled "Trickle-down economics" Several birds are sitting on a ladder. On the topmost rung, a single, very satisfied-looking bird is sitting. With each rung further down, the birds sitting there are increasingly disgruntled because they are covered in increasing amounts of bird poop from the birds further up the ladder.

A bright yellow wall of text against a starry background in "Star Wars" style: "The part of the Star Wars mythos where the incompetent elites who failed to stop the system from sliding into fascism simply go into hiding and do nothing, waiting for a bunch of kids to grow up and fix the problem themselves hits pretty hard now."

The tragedy of Aratak and Ourea is always getting to me, even after many play throughs.
I simply can't praise the writers of Horizon enough.
Aratak is kneeling next to his dead sister who was killed by Hephaestos while rescuing Cyan. Aloy is kneeling next to Aratak, comforting the devastated warrior. Aloy and Aratak after narrowly escaping the destruction of cauldron Epsilon. Having to leave his dead sister behind, Aratak is crushed. Aloy is at a loss of words. Aratak is talking to Cyan in Ourea's retreat after Cyan's rescue. Cyan is playing a recording of Ourea to Aratak. Aloy is observing the conversation from a distance. Aloy and Aratak outside of Ourea's retreat. Aratak explains to Aloy how he finally understands his sister and why the Spirit - Cyan - meant so much to her.

Aratak and Ourea - brother and sister, moments before the final battle at the core of cauldron Epsilon.
Knowing what's to come, one of the most heart wrenching moments in Horizon Zero Dawn. 😢
Screenshot from the game Horizon Zero Dawn showing two characters against a dark background. Ourea, a shaman of the Banuk tribe on the left. A woman with glowing blue stripes embedded into her arms wearing a helmet with a bundle of blue glowing tubes attached to the back. Aratak, a chieftain of the Banuk tribe on the right. A tall strong man wearing a blue padded armor with black fur rim and an impressive helmet. They are facing each other, Aratak holding Ourea's left shoulder and her holding his left arm. They are looking at each other, exchanging looks of worry and determination.
