Imagine the USA being the new North Korea, Donald Jr. eventually following his father to the throne. Ostracized by the world. Global hacker scams and their own version of Juche. The parallels are astounding, esp. if you make a few simple deductions into the near future: distribution of wealth, collapsed economy while claiming it’s booming…

Another one? I’m still reeling from the preacher murders.

It’s the “Hit Rock Bottom and Turn Your Life Around” narrative. But it’s BS - there is no rock bottom. Things can always get worse. There is no miraculous cure. You need to make change happen.

He’s a fascist nut, easy to dismiss. But mainstream media are spreading the same lies.

¿Por Qué No Los Dos?

Amerikanismus scheint immer noch stark zu sein. Man nimmt sich ein Beispiel. Lässt sich nicht bitten. Vor allem bei unserer neuen konservativen rechten Regierung. Warum bloss? Dass das alles nicht gut ausgehen wird ist doch jetzt schon klar.

Danke für die Klarstellung. Die Schlagzeile liest sich schlimmer.

Dennoch, der Rechtsruck der CxU - und damit unserer Regierung - ist schockierend.

Daily reminder that FOX themselves said that their News channel is not news but entertainment, and people cannot be expected to take it seriously. … Then why is it still OK to call it News?

And don’t get me started on certain far-right podcast grifters.

Sorry to say but this is just one aspect of dropping out of all climate contracts national, international and global. And yes, AI is making this much worse.

“Hyperscale data centers are the really large data centers that are being built now for [generative] AI, which is really driving a lot of the growth in this sector because it requires vast data processing capabilities,” said Volzer. “The trend is larger and bigger centers to feed this demand for AI.”

Much of the water used in data centers never gets back into the watershed, particularly if the data center uses a method called evaporative cooling.

Think about that the next time you “ask ChatGPT” something.

Just one more reason not to use servers located in the USA for anything.

John Steinbeck books are everywhere: in giveaway boxes, on my father’s bookshelf, in every library. I’m ashamed to say that’s the only reason I have never read any.

How does he fare in readability?

This is genocide btw. And it makes me feel worse than all the shooting and killing. Whoever is complicit in this, whoever “just followed orders” any step along the way of abducting kids from their families and forcefully supplanting them, I want to see them rot in hell.

I knew what this was before I clicked it! On top of everything else, I love the choice of music. It’s the same pseudo-oriental music they use in movies and TV show when they introduce a terrorist lair in some Arabic nation. Preferably in squalor. Unbearable heat, hungry children barely moving in the dust. Or a docu about Al Qaeda.

edit: oh, it’s just a cut from the whole video. How could you forget Dijon-Gate, Bicycle-Gate and many more! Truly the worst POTUS ever. And people begrudge Trump a little vanity. SMH

Hmm, maybe the G in MAGA does not stand for “great” after all.

Or Biden!

Trump is kinda the opposite. He’s all about that peanut farm, and was from the start. POTUS is just a way to get more peanuts. And narcissism of course.

I will always love the story about how it’s made in China - the country whose name our Führer can only cough out with a derisive undertone. While claiming it was made in North America. And it hasn’t got any gold in it - just fiberglass and chrome color.

My first thought! Definitely not this guy:

“Please buy Tesla again! We kicked him out already, all is good now!”

Talking to family, coworkers and friends: the public image of Musk took a long while to destroy (thanks to no-one but Musk), and Tesla is connected to it 100%. These my peers only just about got to where this is now the majority opinion.

FWIW I’m seeing more and more new electrical cars on the roads, none of which are Tesla. And a lot of those who drive one feel compelled to apologize for it.

Merz has said he will ensure Nord Stream 2, which the country once backed, would not go into operation, but for now the country has no legal means to prevent a sale of the assets, owned by Russian giant Gazprom.

Let’s hope the government follows these pretty words up with action - like setting the legal means to prevent that sale. And don’t dawdle.
