To see the butcher slap the steak, before he laid it on the block,
and give his knife a sharpening, was to forget breakfast instantly. It was
agreeable, too -- it really was -- to see him cut it off, so smooth and juicy.
There was nothing savage in the act, although the knife was large and keen;
it was a piece of art, high art; there was delicacy of touch, clearness of
tone, skilful handling of the subject, fine shading. It was the triumph of

📱 Die Bürger-App – eine gute Idee auf maroder Basis.
Kindergeld per App, KI-Assistent durch Formulare, alles digital. Klingt gut.
Das fundamentale Problem liegt nicht in der App, sondern im IT-Unterbau:

The odious SAVE act is written to target young people (new voters), women (changed names), renters (changed addresses), and people who are struggling to make ends meet / can't afford the time and aggravation.
All likely Democrats.
And it doesn't solve any real problem.

Based on a wee experiment, I've decided that I could probably replace my MacBook Air with a Thinkpad running Elementary OS 8.
I wouldn't do it voluntarily but if necessary, it's far less aggravating than Windows.

“It is by far the most disturbing thing Aronofsky has made, and I’ve seen the last eight minutes of Requiem for a Dream.”
Not a good look right after Ken Burns did a truly great series on the Revolution. Feels desperate. @…

“Benjamin Franklin, who turns up during episode two, is particularly nightmarish. He looks as if someone has genetically spliced Hugh Laurie with Anthony Hopkins, and then covered the resulting monstrosity in a thin layer of roving liver spots.” https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/feb/02/darren-aronofsky-ai-revolutionary-war-series-review?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
