It has come to my attention that not nearly enough of you know about Bernd das Brot, the German children's program about a clinically depressed loaf of bread who enjoys studying his wallpaper and eating gruel and whose catchphrases include "my life is hell" and "I would like to leave this show."

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

Right now our country is facing serious outbreaks of bird flu, tuberculosis, and measles, and a surge in flu cases—and how do Trump & Musk respond? By firing hundreds of CDC employees—the very people researching the spread of these diseases & how to keep people safe.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

Wow! Paris entsiegelt gerade den Rathausplatz & pflanzt auf 2000qm 90 Bäume, um das Mikroklima um 4 Grad zu senken. Die Bäume sind bereits ca. 7m hoch, um sofort Schatten zu spenden. Es ist der 3. Stadtwald den Hidalgo einweihen wird. So schön zu sehen, wie Paris die lebenswerte Stadt vorantreibt❤️

Broadly correct: measles is MUCH more contagious than flu, common cold, covid etc. each infected person infects, on average, >10 people if all are unvaxed. If there were 48 confirmed cases in Texas 2 days ago there are likely hundreds by now, taking account of vaccination rates and under-reporting.

Incompetence may not be accidental; it can be deliberate. Authoritarian leaders often install unqualified people into powerful roles, not to succeed, but to fail in ways that centralise control and degrade institutions. It’s a dangerous strategy, and it should be noticed and called out. 1/8
