Um das noch mal festzuhalten, die Deutschen haben nicht die Grünen gewählt, die A, B, C machen wollten, und die Superreichen sollten ihren Teil daüfr bezahlen.

Sondern Merz, der jetzt das gleiche A, B, C macht, nur dass DU dafür bezahlst und die Superreichen noch superreicher werden.

Everything about this is perfect: the hack, the hacker‘s name, the remote control, the playlist name and the choice of music. A true masterpiece🤣
Years ago someone (who may have been called Pierre) hacked my Spotify, but I could still control it remotely. My friends and I kept switching the music (whilst Spotify support tried to fix the issue). We ended up making a playlist of everything we made him listen to: open.spotify.com/playlist/0wC...

Phew…reposting this would be just plain rude! I hope no one does!
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

"The new [Trump] administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely coincides with our vision," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a reporter from Russian state television in an interview aired Sunday (via AFP)

This is ominous and, sadly, completely plausible.
"Trump's first visit to Soviet Moscow in 1987 looks, with hindsight, to be part of a pattern. [...] Christopher Steele asserts that the Kremlin had been cultivating Trump for 'at least five years' before his stunning victory in the 2016 US presidential election."

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow
In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

This is an excellent post! The implications are troubling however.
What will make-or-break Friedrich Merz’ coalition options? The number of parties in the next Bundestag!

Which of the three small parties in the opinion polls
– Left Party 6-7%
– BSW 4-4.5%
– FDP 4%
will pass the 5% threshold?

A few scenarios to illustrate how the 630 seats could be distributed 👇

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).

Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).

Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

It only counts as a ‘quick question’ if it’s quick to answer, not if it’s quick to ask. Especially in emails.

One of the useful features of Twitter was that you could mute certain conversations/keywords. Given the circumstances, is there a way to block the color „orange“ and all words that rhyme with „dump“ on here?
