Basically, everything has remained the same over the last nine years. Governmental crimes such as murder were – and still are – well within the range of what could be expected since then, and should not come as a serious surprise. The Democrats' continued passivity also remains unbearable.
all my life I was told that America had the greatest system of government ever — but all I can see is one party high-fiving itself over the state-sponsored murder of its citizens, and the other party impotently writing strongly-worded letters about it. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

Laut sein, klar sein, furchtlos sein! Die Sehnsucht und das Verlangen nach so einer Politik, die auf alle schaut und nicht auf wenige, ist so groß. Es war so sehr spürbar bei dieser Feier. Und das ist in Deutschland nicht anders. Weg vom vorsichtigen Moderieren in der Komfortzone.

Less (digital) is more.
Less imitation, recycling, appearance, gimmickry, pretence, bullshit, actual stagnation; accessibility, manipulability...
... more reality, creativity, substance, authenticity, depth, immediacy, sensuality, privacy, intimacy, cultural advancement; assertion of civil rights.

Delighted to share this TEDxGeneva talk! The more I study the digital, the more I'm in awe of the richness and primacy of the analogue world. Don't forget that life is analogue, and all things digital depend on and are but a ghost of the analogue. #AIEthics

Das ist so unfassbar traurig. Das Charlotte Chess Center hat bekanntgegeben, dass Daniel Naroditsky verstorben ist.
Danya war einer der besten, charmantesten und liebenswürdigsten Kommentatoren und Schachlehrer. Ich habe ihm aberhunderte Stunden zugeschaut, wie einige meiner Freunde auch.

Hitzewelle: Wie linke Klimaschützer das Wetter politisch ausschlachten
Früher gab es kaum etwas Unpolitischeres als das Wetter. Das hat sich geändert. Dem Klimaschutz ist damit nicht gedient.

Am I the only one wondering how the members of the Supreme Court get along with each other during their debates, when the majority is struggling to meet the president's expectations and the minority is struggling even harder to prevent them from doing so?

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.
Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.
Legacy media failed the country.
