Re my last posts: this is the men who will be asked to form a coalition government. And yes, he has the charisma of a slice of toast. He has also real problems with women outside a kitchen.

For those not too knowledgeable about the German system: Partiesmust have 5% to be included in the parliament so you can ignore FDP and BSW like the line reading others. CDU/CSU will be tasked building a coalition that had 50%+. AfD isn't an option. They won't ask Left Party. Leaves SPD+Greens.

Looking at the stage where Merz declares victory despite missing their own goal, you could think we are bak in the 1950. Only men. #GermanElections

As a Jew in Berlin this is scary.

If you don’t know what this is about, you should. If you know and you haven’t said anything condemning Hamas today, you should.

@johnburnsnc.bsky.social I got to hockey fan in the bio when I checked who liked my post and had to follow. Hockey gives my insomnia a reason.

Most importantly, I wrote about ways how to get active to turn things around, things useful now. And I wrote it from the perspective of someone who grew up in a regime and helped to topple it. #books #YA #thriller #scifi

Not going to cry about it too often but when it comes to my YA SciFi Thriller The Big Lie I'm so mad. The manuscript was rejected for being too political. It wasn't too political. I only read the room. I described what's happening now with the dismanteling of science instigated by the the tech bros.

The MC in my YA scifi thriller The Big Lie is motivated to fight a regime that only allows chosen people to go into science to become a trusted voice to spread exactly this knowledge. Set in SF after the dismanteling of democracy with a big lie spread via social media. amazon.com/dp/B0C3BNY68X

We have a bench downstairs where people living in the high rise leave things they don’t need anymore for others to take. Today, there was a sheep… #dog #puppy #sheep #dogsofbluesky

When you believe - like Merz and his CDU does, and they are not alone in this in the political landscape of Germany - that freedom is the absence of barriers, when nature will take care of the one possible future in capitalism, soon even humans become barriers. Why do they need a certain climate?

Guilty as charged.

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

It's called Schreibtischtäter or desk offende. You might be a small wheel in the system and yet you are still a wheel making the system run and that establishes your guilt. It was in your power not to do it and the whole process would have grinded to a halt. But you choose to act.

Powerful.

Let's talk about free speech and what it protects. First, what does it not protect: speech. It protects the human speaker or to say it with E. Stein, who was murdered in the Holocaust despite converting to Catholicism and becoming a nun, it protects the Leib extending in the 4th & 5th dimension from

If you ever said we need to stop sending money overseas and take care of our vets, now is the time to step up. (via my veteran friend @artpostate.bsky.social)

That's the result of a world in which everything is a fact when I just believe it and thus nothing is true. Since we self-generate our personal model of the worldin our mind, cooperation requires the creation of slivers of shared reality. Standards are a way to create them. Facts make perfect

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

It's like a toddler learning that a triangle fits into the triangle shape slot. It's a feat accomplished by repeated exposure to the same pattern between a limited set of existing patterns. Human intelligence is finding ways to fit a triangle into a circle. It's the creation of novel solutions.

How do I know that Elsa stole a carrot while I was writing? White dogs aren’t orange. #dog #puppy #dogsofbluesky

The problem with acknowledging this is that you must acknowledge the scientific truth that what we call reality is a self-generated model of the world that only exists in one person's mind and that this model is not in he least a reflection of the physical reality. Aligning these models to be able
