I got a haircut today. Usually the chatter with the hairdresser is about the school or the construction work nearby etc. Today, it was about how she went through every shampoo and hairbrush and comb she buys and removed anything coming from the US. People outside Denmark often don’t realise how […]

Brit politicians have said Trump's display towards Zelensky has 'dishonoured the Churchill bust in the Oval Office' , in case you were wondering how the UK is taking events. When you've 'dishonoured Churchill'..... #UKPOL #Ukpolitics #USPOL #Zelensky #SlavaUkraini #Trump #Ukraine #Churchill

[elezioni tedesche] Mi tocca sperare che la FDP, che si merita abbondantemente il tracollo, dopo avere affondato la coalizione con SPD e verdi, rimanga sopra il 5% (e magari anche quei rosso-bruni (il bruno è il colore del nazismo) dei BSW) per evitare che CDU/CSU e AfD abbiano i numeri per […]

Gerade empören sich viele über Videos, weil sie (gefälschte!) Stimmzettel ohne AfD zeigen und (gefälschte) Wahlzettel mit AfD-Stimmen im Schredder: Selten fallen Angriffe auf unsere Wahl so auf. Aber es gibt sie. Einblicke in perfide Lügen und krude Absurditäten:

In den letzten Tagen gab es Messerangriffe in Hodenhagen, Offenburg, Lübeck, Ratingen, Erfurt und mehr. Rate, warum die nicht in den Trends waren. (Jetzt als Video mit Update und Korrekturen) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUFWC-236G0

This one hits home. Via Greg Sargent: #Trump- #Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by Republicans. […]

I'm surely not alone in thinking that the #Russians (and therefore the #USA) want elections in #Ukraine because they want to meddle with them so to get Ukraine a government more friendly to #Russia, or at least a weaker one.

Guten Gewissens wählbar? Die #FDP hatte den Ausstieg aus der #AmpelKoalition minutiös geplant. In der „KW45“ sollte der Bruch erfolgen, er kam dann am 6.11., als Kanzler #Scholz #Finanzminister #Lindner entließ. Die „D-Day„ Papiere entwerfen Szenarien, wie […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Codeberg.org is under attack by right wing trolls over diversity, equity and inclusion. This is what you get when you enable the goons. They will spoil public resources. This is a good illustration of Popper's paradox on why one should not tolerate intolerance […]

Ieri ho visto #Flow al #cinema. Consigliatissimo. Specialmente se vi piacciono i gatti, i cani, i disegni fatti benissimo, le storie originali e non ovvie. E comunque è un film di animazione europeo, fatto benissimo, con #blender, software FOSS. Il trailer rende l'idea […]
