They lied as well as knew!

Democrats are searching for their next leader. But they still have Obama. Obama’s reemergence is a reminder of the rudderlessness of the Democratic Party, which is still reeling from stinging losses in 2024.

Never underestimate how much the idea "everybody(!) should have nice things" leads people to hateful jealousy at the notion that others might have nice things too.... That is why Zohran Mamdani may still loose, as jealous hate-voters will go for Cuomo.

Heute im Seminar 'Zugang & Teilhabe' über Konflikte zwischen Urheberrechten & Zugangsrechten gesprochen -- im Zuge dessen auch Sven Regeners "Wut-Rede" von 2012 vorgespielt. Interessant, sie vor aktuellem Hintergrund (Streaming statt Plattenverkäufen, KI-Content usw.) nochmal zu hören! #Copyethics

Vor der Klimakonferenz: UN veröffentlicht nationale Klimaschutzpläne

64 Staaten haben die Deadline eingehalten, ihre nationalen Klimaziele einzureichen. Die EU nicht. Hier wird Klimaschutz gerade als Belastung betrachtet, andernorts ist es gegenteilig.

Kate Manne: The Silencing of Women Who Speak Publicly About Anything Death and rape threats, endless criticism, and apparently well-meaning "feedback" all conspire to create a hostile climate that silences women. Kate Manne and I talk about this phenomenon and more.

Interesting podcast. Very chilling.

Politiker wie #Merz, der Food Blogger #Söder oder #Reiche haben sich in die politische Sachgasse manövriert, als sie behaupteten, die #Energiewende sei ein Projekt der Grünen.

Sie schaden damit der dt. Wirtschaft.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.
