Lines from lord of the rings: but in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when thd sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer.

Every day, this is now relevant every f*cking day...

Ich bin hin- und hergerissen zwischen Erleichterung (kann nur besser sein als Merz' eigene Ideen) und solchem Zorn (hauptsächlich auf Medien und dämliche Wähler).

If the last 5 years of your social media history doesn't get ban you from Trump's USA, then we can't be friends 🙅‍♀️💁‍♀️

Das ist der beste Kommentar, den ich je zur deutschen Auto Industrie gehört habe.

Besser kann man es nicht auf den Punkt bringen.

Think you’re kind? Maybe you’re just being nice. I’ve learned there’s a big difference | Ann Russell Like many women, I was conditioned to people-please – until I realised that this was neither helping others, nor myself, says author Ann Russell

"Being nice is all about how you wish to be viewed, whereas being kind means doing what is right – never mind the optics."
A really good viewpoint.

Nein, die Niederlande haben kein Verbot der Antifa erlassen. Das war ein Antrag (motie), dass sich die Regierung damit beschäftigen soll. Was sie aber nicht tun wird, da - wie MP Schoof erklärte - in NL so ein Verbot nur durch ein Gericht erfolgen kann. Außerdem sind in ein paar Wochen Wahlen.

Yeah, for me that was actually out of character, that data would say such a mean thing to her. Could have said "He would not have wanted you to seek revenge"...

“I see promise, I see action,” he said. “I see tangible output. But not enough.”
I am all for optimism and hope, but I think it is dangerous re climate change as most already pretend that it either doesn't exist or will not affect them or the value the perceiced short term €€€ as more important.

Picture of the alien entity in Star Trek TNG Silicon Avatar Episode which is a crystalline entity and looks like a diamond fir tree

Because of current events, I needed some comfort bingeing. So back to Star Trek.
I just watched "Silicon Avatar".
What a great episode. It made me cry, it is the first time I saw it since becoming a mother. Boy, did it hit differently!
It has a strong dilemma between emotion and morality.

💪 Team Fatalismus!

Was dir die Medien über die AfD verschweigen Umfragerekorde, absolute Mehrheit in Sachsen-Anhalt in Aussicht – die AfD scheint unaufhaltsam. Doch das ist ein medialer Mythos. Was wirklich dahinter steckt:

Angriff auf den Sozialstaat: Bloß keine Agenda 2030 Bei Ärmeren zu kürzen, ist ökonomisch unklug, denn sie konsumieren viel. Höhere Steuern für Reiche sind dagegen ein taugliches Anti-Krisen-Mittel.

If the greens (or linke) follow the stupid playbook of adopting "centrist" (rightwing/conservative/neoliberal) positions we'll continue this catastrophic slip further towards extreme right. The Center has already moved too much in this direction. Media is killing democracy one step (lie) at a time.

Very strange take. Look what going "center" or pragmatic (realo) has done to the SPD. This article completely ignores how the loss of votes in the last election was achieved by propaganda and media campaigns. Truth (facts) doesn't count anymore. Elections are won with fear and hate.

Very good article! I had some similar thoughts, that the deal was not as bad for the EU as most Media made it sound.

The US-EU trade deal The US-EU trade deal has been touted as a Trump win. It is not. In fact, it is a big US own goal and here is why.

BLOG: Nonsense. EU officials are far cleverer than Trump. They are playing him, knowing falls for flattery. The recently concluded EU-US trade deal has been touted as a win for Trump, but it is a US own goal. Here is why: www.jandehn.com/post/the-us-...

Aha. This is again one of those opinion pieces with absolutely no new information, just personal view.
Regarding the claims of humiliation and a bad deal, there is a saying in German: "Abgerechnet wird am Schluss."
There might good reason to just ein time for now.

Just for fun - never got to do stuff like this as a child, so I am enjoying it now!

Ok, so I may or may not be bingeing Golden Girls (I definitely am), and besides - seriously - life goals, I am completely immersed in their homewear - cutesy, elegant, frilly,and many more looks, just for lounging around the house. Just fabulous.

I discovered TOS through a rerun, no one in my family likes it at all.
To make up for all this negativity towards scifi, I introduced my then boyfriend/now husband to Trek, even put him in uniform and dragged him to his first convention - my personal success story 🖖

Absolutely, I just love that series! I also love lower decks, it is hilarious, it was a tie for best written for me...

Well, despite "To counter the ongoing depopulation and maintain current levels of inhabitants, Italy would need to take in at least 10 million immigrants by 2050, according to research by the Osservatorio Conti Pubblici think tank." they are still good with drowning refugees in the Mediterranean 😢

Anne Hildagos Begrünung von Paris "zeigt in der aktuellen Hitzewelle erste, teils spektakuläre Resultate", schreibt der Standard: In den renaturierten Straßen und Vierteln ist es um bis zu vier Grad weniger heiß, auf den begrünten Dächern sind die Dachtemperaturen von 67,5 auf 35,7 Grad gesunken.

And I fully agree with the conclusion that the saving of human society (aka a livable planet) can and will not come from Billionaires.

You had me at "The pattern played out last year with his ownership of the Washington Post – where, as soon as he felt threatened by an ascendant Donald Trump, journalistic integrity fell overboard more quickly than an inebriated wedding guest on a luxury gondola."
