A screenshot of an X post with a black background and white text, featuring a "Being Liberal" logo in the top right corner. The post lists products launched by Donald Trump, including TrumpRX, Trump Gold Card, Trump Mobile, Trump Coin, and Trump Social/Truth Social. It also mentions upcoming projects: Trump Golf Resort in Qatar, Trump Plaza in Saudi Arabia, and Trump Tower in UAE. Additional claims include Melania having a crypto coin, Jared buying EA, and Trump accepting a $40M jet from Qatar. The post ends with a sarcastic remark about the Bushes and Clintons being the "swamp" and questions about grocery bills, salaries, and the feeling of getting poorer while the president and his family get richer.

And this is just a small sample of the scams and the grift!

Das bemerkenswerte an dieser Gaza-TikTok-Intifada einer Marlene Engelhorn oder Greta Thunberg ist ja diese Aggressivität gepaart mit einem völligen Unwissen über die Region und den komplexen politischen und historischen Gegebenheiten. Politikaktivismus als billige Selbstdarstellung.

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210" It reads: "Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz" At bottom is an illustration of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, a kite wrapped around the dog house.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Excellent interview of Alice Savoie.

Très bon.

He was such a sweet gun-loving nazi, no one could have possibly predicted his violence 😁

My great-grandparents were murdered in Buchenwald. I know what I’m seeing, too.

I stand with PBS.

I stand with NPR.

I stand with Stephen Colbert.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

I stand with the First Amendment.

PERIOD.*

David Letterman to Jeffrey Goldberg on Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension: “You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian—a criminal—administration in the Oval Office. That’s just not how this works.” #TAF25 bit.ly/4n0Uv2p

The Plot to Free the Nuns

Kürzlich habe ich - angesichts des medialen Interesses an den Nonnen von Goldenstein noch gewitzelt:

„Jetzt fehlen nur noch die @nytimes.com“

Here we go 😇

Wusste nicht, dass es von Ringo Starr ein Album mit dem Titel „Goodnight Vienna“ gibt - und dass John Lennon den Titelsong geschrieben hatte.

Und was war’s wirklich?

Russia struck a civilian bus in the Sumy region, killing three women aged 66, 74, and 78.

Just like that. A bus. No reason, no military justification. Pure terrorism.

G.M. Profit Shrinks on Billion-Dollar Tariff Hit General Motors was the second auto company this week, after Stellantis, to show the toll that President Trump’s trade policies are taking on the industry.

General Motors said on Tuesday that its profit in the second quarter fell by more than a third, after President Trump’s tariffs cost the company more than $1 billion.

Österreich braucht dringend wieder mehr Kinder

Zur Erinnerung:

In Österreich wurde wegen des Zuzugs von Kindern Anfang Juli eine gesamtstaatliche Notlage erklärt um die Familienzusammenführung zu stoppen.

Just discovered that Windows 11 rounds font version numbers to two decimals. You can see Version 1.008 in the screenshot 🤦‍♂️

I overdosed on bad political news at 7.07am today.

Russians burned Bundeswehr vehicles in Germany and posted videos of it to Russia propaganda telegram channels.

Is this the very-very last wake-up call for Europe or nah?

Mein großartiger Kollege @fabianschmid.bsky.social hat den Journalisten und „Columbine“-Autor Dave Cullen (leider nicht auf Bluesky) zum Attentat in Graz befragt. Auf X gibt es höchstes Lob von Cullen für das Gespräch - und was soll ich sagen? Fabian ist einer der besten 👏.
