The new Callous Daoboys album is a masterpiece. As good and chaotic and experimental as heavy music can get.

Try not to talk too much #auspol given I haven't lived there in a decade, but good riddance to Dutton. He's always represented the worst of Australia, and it's good to see Australia reject him decisively.

Vor 2 Jahren trat das 🇩🇪-Ticket in Kraft. Seitdem hat es 21 Mio. Menschen entlastet, 627 Mio. Autofahrten verhindert & ca. 2,7 Mio. t CO2 gespart. Aber das Beste: Im Gegensatz zum Tankrabatt hat es keine Ölkonzerne & Diktatoren finanziert & ganz nebenbei das heilige Tarifzonenreich 🇩🇪 Nation beerdigt❤️

Wenn man in der Isolation lebt, fällt man noch mehr auf die Rhetorik herein. Das Leben in der Stadt macht die Menschen toleranter. Wir müssen es für mehr Menschen einfacher machen, dort zu leben.
Ein Blick auf den Stadt-Land-Gegensatz. Abgebildet für jede Partei ihr nach Bevölkerungsdichte mittlerer Wahlkreis: 50% ihrer Stimmen sind urbaner, 50% ländlicher. AfD im Westen stärker und damit etwas urbaner, BSW ähnlich wie Union (weil Ostdeutsch), Grüne bleiben stark urban, Linke urban wie nie.

Convert street parking into trees 🌲
Seattle could meet its 30% tree canopy goal much quicker by converting a quarter of its 500,000 on-street parking spaces. The paving-to-planting conversion would convey many benefits, cooling neighborhoods and absorbing runoff.

Ich bin ein Einwanderer in Deutschland. Ich bin vor fünf Jahren aus dem Vereinigten Königreich hierher gezogen. Deutschland braucht uns Migranten. Wir bringen Fähigkeiten und Erfahrungen mit, aber am wichtigsten ist, dass wir die Steuerbasis des Landes verbessern.

Warum schalten die BVG und die Deutsche Bahn Werbung auf FB, Instagram und Twitter/X? Wo liegt der Nutzen? Das ist Geldverschwendung und schickt Geld an amerikanische Tech-Unternehmen, das hier besser angelegt wäre.

Zelensky is a better advocate for a strong, prosperous and ambitious Europe than most EU leaders.
Zelensky: "Most of the world’s now thinking – so, what’s gonna happen to their relationship with America? What will happen to alliances? To support? To trade? How does President Trump plan to end wars? But no one is asking these kinds of questions about Europe. And we need to be honest about that."

2024 kam 🇩🇪 erstmals seit 1961 ohne Atomstrom aus. Was wurde gewarnt: Blackouts, Brownouts, explodierende Strompreise & Kohle-Comeback. Stattdessen war Strom immer verfügbar, die Preise sind stabil, mit 37,2% Anteil historischer Tiefstand foss. Brennstoffe & mit 62,7% ein Rekordanteil von PV & Wind😊

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?
Yeah I need way more money than anyone ever got before. I need it because my shit is difficult right now. But it's important in ways even I haven't been able to work out. OpenAI is a serious business. Help me. Please help me please my serious company is so good. Help me

The biggest problem with Spotify Wrapped is that I see less people sharing curated lists of their best songs of the year, which, imo, is much more interesting.
Here are my top 25 tracks. There's a bit of everything in here - hip-hop, rock, indie, electronic, metal, etc: tidal.com/playlist/146...
