Always interesting how there are parts of the Berlin wall scattered across Germany. Also interesting how they get ignored by everyone outside of Berlin.

I really look forward to the day when I achieve my German citizenship and can full advantage of the benefits that come with this. I also wish my brain was better at learning languages. I know 30+ programming ones, but actual human languages elude my comprehension. I barely speak English 😉

Labour has swung to the right with their majority, and I think having to negotiate a coalition of the left (?) with the Lib Dems and Greens would be good for the UK. Especially as both of those want to rejoin the EU. I ? Left as neither Greens or Lib Dems are really left. Labour was supposed to be.

Perhaps interesting to note today that the US admin is closing the US Consolate in Hamburg, established in 1790 under George Washington, reducing US soft power influence in one of the world's most important major international port hubs.

Hamburg has some amazing swimming pools. Noting as its expected to get up to 30° celsius today and I was curious. I have other plans, but bookmarking for another day. There are quite a few pools closer to me than Hamburg, but I do enjoy trying new ones. www.hamburg.de/freizeit/spo...

I just emerged from the deep state woke Marxist meeting to control the weather for tomorrow’s small dictator parade. I can report things are on track and we are ready for space laser deployment. More soon.

Gustav Klimt is my favourite artist. No picture ever does his work justice. It must be seen in person to truly appreciate it. On my travels I make it a point to find out if any art galleries in town have any of his works. The best exhibition so far was in Barcelona as they had amazing lighting.

What happens if China, India, and Russia do the same for Iran? Interesting W.O.P.R. scenario. I think that would end this conflict and future ones in the area. If this is a war on principles, then Starmer and Trump have none to stand on and will back down. Any other leaders would be a worry. TACO.

Why do you think the oligarchs took direct control of social media and manipulated it towards the far right? 2020 scared the shit out of them and they spent the last 5 years making sure it couldn't happen again.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

After the Taliban’s reconquest of Afghanistan, Western countries initially provided escape routes to vulnerable Afghans. But anti-immigration sentiment across the West has brought about what activists and experts say is a premature end to those resettlement programs.

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely political reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

It is insane that 40% of the US is OK with what is happening there. I can not begin to understand how, but I understand the why. Racism and hate. Its clearly not about eggs, economy, respect for the law, or the constitution. It is about dividing a nation into easily targeted segments to attack.

She is our future. The ocean supports humanity in countless ways, and when the ocean suffers, so do we. Instead of protecting it, we’ve polluted its depths and pushed it to the brink. #ActNow to #SaveOurOcean.

The reporting has been abysmal by the Brexity brigade. Alastair Campbell - “It is quite something that the chief minister of Gibraltar is having to spend much of the day rebutting distortions and fiction in our media.” Brexiteers and pro-Brexit media sharing misleading claims? Whatever next…

i’d be curious to know whether any of the journalists who have taken to bluesky had prior experience in an earlier internet age with forums. for me at least, my acculturation into the social internet was by way of forums and so the lack of an algorithm seems natural to me.
