Did you notice Trump's birthday military parade once again featured the Creedence Clearwater Revival song, "Fortunate Son"?
Here's singer John Fogerty's explanation of how the song is about his frustrations of being drafted into Vietnam while watching rich kids dodge the draft (like Trump did): “He IS the fortunate son”

I'm wondering: How much are the paths different today?

Europe is exporting military dogs—used as weapons by Israel's elite forces. These dogs have been linked to civilian injuries and deaths, including children and people with disabilities. Doors forced open in the middle of the night, piercing cries for help, fangs sunk mercilessly into the flesh of victims. Children are torn from their mothers' arms, women scream for help, men collapse in agony, while apathetic soldiers just laugh as dogs tear bodies apart indiscriminately.

I've been working on a full calendar app upgrade to the Discordian date widget I made years ago for Android. It's nearly ready for release, just got a bug or three to fix first.

Wie retten wir unsere Städte?
Das fragt Christian Sievers und fragt in Städten, die sich ihere Schönheit lebenswert erhalten haben, ist unter anderem in Freiburg und im spanischen Santander. Und er ist in Ludwigshafen, der schönsten Stad aus Beton für alle, die Autobahnen und Bundesstraßen lieben.

Am Puls mit Christian Sievers - Wie retten wir unsere Städte? Leben statt Leere!
Viele deutsche Innenstädte wirken wie Orte, die man lieber meidet. Woran liegt das? ZDF-Moderator Christian Sievers will das herausfinden.

Stark Tuning and Charge State Control in Individual Telecom C-Band Quantum Dots
Telecom-wavelength quantum dots (QDs) are emerging as a promising solution for generating deterministic single-photons compatible with existing fiber-optic infrastructure. Emission in the low-loss C-band minimizes transmission losses, making them ideal for long-distance quantum communication. In this work, we present the first demonstration of both Stark tuning and charge state control of individual InAs/InP QDs operating within the telecom C-band. These QDs are grown by droplet epitaxy and emb…

Kehls Oberbürgermeister über Grenzkontrollen: »Etwas mehr Fingerspitzengefühl hätte ich Friedrich Merz schon zugetraut«
Staus, Umwege, klagende Händler: Die verschärften Grenzkontrollen belasten deutsche Grenzstädte. Hier spricht Kehls Oberbürgermeister Wolfram Britz über seinen Frust – und einen Brief an Kanzler Merz.

The latest salvo in Trump's fight to remake America’s elite cultural institutions:
This time, the attack has foundered!
So far, Sajet, a 60-year-old Dutch art historian with a long career in American and Australian art museums who became the National Portrait Gallery’s first female director in 2013, is still at her desk.
Trump lacks the legal authority to dismiss Sajet or hire her replacement
—although you can bet that administration lawyers are looking for legal …

Why Is Trump Trying to Fire This Museum Director?
If he succeeds, it could put the whole Smithsonian under his thumb.

"Malgré des semaines de couverture médiatique négative, des déportations très médiatisées de migrants et d'étudiants munis de visas, et une décision négative de la Cour suprême, l'immigration reste le dossier le plus populaire de M. Trump : 47 % l'approuvent, tandis que 51 % le désapprouvent, selon un sondage New York Times/Siena College réalisé ce mois-ci."

After hanging around in Dutch parliament for 35 years (8 years as assistant and speech writer for VVD, 27 years as MP), far-right Wilders just blew up his first own coalition, because the other parties didn't sign up for his new list of anti-refugee/asylumseeker ideas.
