Verrückter Fakt des Tages: #vfdt
Bei visuell-räumlichem Denken ist normalerweise die rechte Gehirnhälfte dominant. Man könnte daher meinen: Gebärdensprache wird eher rechts verarbeitet. Das stimmt aber nicht. Genau wie bei gesprochener Sprache sind die Sprachzentren in der linken Gehirnhälfte aktiv.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Wer meint, sowas wie ICE "kann bei uns nicht passieren", ist a) geschichtsvergessen und hat b) die Situation an den Außengrenzen & entlang der Balkanroute nicht verfolgt. Nur 1 Beispiel: 2021 prügelten vermummte Beamte der kroatischen Polizei auf Geflüchtete ein...

The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.
„Because they were told it would hurt someone else.“ Sado-Populism on its way.

Mich würde ja mal eine Studie interessieren: Würden wir all das Geld, das wir in privaten Verkehr stecken, vom Benzinpreis bis zu den Kosten für Autos und Garagen, in ein öffentliches Verkehrssystem investieren, was für ein öffentliches Verkehrssystem könnten wir uns dann leisten?
