Diskriminierung im Sport: Verpflichtende Gentests bringen gar nichts! Ab September ist für alle Leichtathletinnen ein Gentest Pflicht. Das ist eine Demütigung für Frauen und bringt den Sport nicht weiter.

oh he's losing it, losing it

Considered unlikely to go through in time, AFAIK

this might be the funniest message you could have leaked due to poor OPSEC

Instead they’d prefer the debt brake to be gone for good or for the spending to be more on line with their policies. There’s also an element of being taken for granted.

AFAICT (hadn’t heard that one yet) it’s about the fiscal exemption being used to take infra financing out of the budget, so the budget can be used for voter gifts they don’t agree with (credits for car commuters, tax exemptions for restaurants, higher pensions for mothers of a specific generation)

I desperately need him to be the inspiration for the next Bond villain.

Wie sehr verhandeln die Parteien denn überhaupt über einzelne Personen? Ich dachte eher die Auswahl obliegt da der jeweiligen Partei und die Koa-Partner dürfen da nicht reinreden.

Nudeln im Martini? Spirelli oder Schmetterling?

I wonder if there is some other historical example of a de-something-ification that Vance could have used? Maybe a process that was the inspiration for de-Ba‘athification? Why wouldn’t he use that as an inspiration again?

very funny that i have a quote tweet calling this “right wing bullshit” because few people can store leftovers for a week or two. “you should learn how to cook and be responsible with your money as much as that is possible” is not “right wing bullshit,” it is basic life advice.

“To turn off, go to Settings > Apps > Photos on iOS and turn off Enhanced Visual Search. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General to do the same. You must do it on each of your Apple devices.”

Still hoping they’ll let him be Bond one more time LIKE THIS, a few years down the road. The end of NTTD be damned.

To me the most instructive comparison is a basketball game where every made bucket is 1 point and a made half-court shot is 15 points and the end of the game.

Meaning Potter catching the snitch faster than anyone ever has just means he has no game awareness. He just deprived his team of the opportunity to score any goals.

The Hogwarts Quidditch Tournament is decided on total points scored. Not win-loss. Not point differential. Total points scored.
Ergo, catching the snitch only gets you into the conversation (you’re going to need at least 2*150 to be in the race), but scoring goals is what wins Cups.

Maybe I am being naive, but aren’t they (at least in Germany) suspending decisions exactly because no one knows what the political situation is?

Trump hat PA mit 120.299 Stimmen Vorsprung gewonnen. Harris hätte also entweder 120.300 Wähler:innen mehr mobilisieren oder 60.150 „umdrehen“.

Gerade nach dem Pausch-Artikel zu denken er und andere Journalist:innen würden nicht vor der Wahl noch irgendwie an dieses Papier kommen ist so abstrus, das es mich schon fast denken lässt die haben wirklich nichts gewusst. Fast.

Zu sehen sind drei Pyramiden mit dem Aufdruck „Freie Demokraten. FDP.“

Ihr glaubt nicht, was man in Wahlkampfshop der FDP kaufen kann.

Their grand theory: Whoever kills the hated Ampel gets a bonus.
Reality: Singular actors inside of a party taking actions that aren’t useful to the party as a whole.

This has been rendered moot by Pistorius declining to run. Which in turn opens the questions on why he didn‘t. Is he convinced by Scholz? Does he not trust himself? Is he keeping his powder dry? Was the momentum not big enough to take the mantle, but begin enough to hurt Scholz and the SPD?
