There is a giant mountain in the US carved with the faces of a couple of slavers, and two guys who tried to stop slavery. Now most Americans will stop right there and say, "wait, two? Lincoln did that though..." They'll say that because Americans don't know anything about their own history, including the fact that the practice of slavery remained central to the southern economy well through Roosevelt's administration. If this is not familiar to you (because, maybe, you were taught history in the US) and you'd like to actually learn about that, you might want to read "Slavery by Another Name."
But let's talk about half-slaver mountain for a minute. This mountain is functionally a sacred site for Americans, but it's literally a sacred site for Black Hills Sioux. Speaking of stolen land, did you know that JBLM (a military base in Washington state) is built on land promised the Puyallup in the Treaty of Medicine Creek before being stolen in 1918? I remember being taught that all the land was stolen a long time ago and now there's nothing we can do. Yeah, does anyone remember that DAPL was under Obama? In fact, unused federal lands are supposed to be returned to the tribes from which the land was taken but there's a whole site to auction off federal property... That's a whole section of the government dedicated to violating the Treaty of Fort Laramie.
They could just comply with the treaty, as they are legally obligated to do. These violations are ongoing. Slavery, again, is still legal. Slaves are still used by major corporations today, they just have to be tricked into confessing to a crime first. The sins that this country is built on remain fully active today... Because the system was built to preserve white supremacists patriarchy. How could the founding of the US not lead *directly* to Trump? How could this have been different, from the beginning?
But, please, tell me, how, exactly, are you going to fix that by voting harder in the mid terms. How?

Measurement of circumgalactic extinction in the Kilo-Degree Survey's Data Release 4
Galaxies reside in extended dark matter halos, but their baryonic content, especially dust, remains less well understood. We aim to investigate the amount and distribution of dust in galactic halos by measuring shifts in the observed magnitudes of background galaxies. Dust absorbs and scatters shorter-wavelength light, reddening background sources. We quantify this effect using multi-band magnitude shifts in the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) Data Release 4, distinguishing it from achromatic magnifi…

Die deutsche Justiz ist derart langsam, daß selbst die politische Verfolgung erst in Fahrt kommt, wenn die Verfolgten sich bereits aus der politischen Verantwortungslosigkeit verabschiedet haben und sich nur noch mit der Verwaltung ihres Vermögens befassen

Multi-Robot Navigation in Social Mini-Games: Definitions, Taxonomy, and Algorithms
The ``Last Mile Challenge'' has long been considered an important, yet unsolved, challenge for autonomous vehicles, public service robots, and delivery robots. A central issue in this challenge is the ability of robots to navigate constrained and cluttered environments (e.g., doorways, hallways, corridor intersections), often while competing for space with other robots and humans. We refer to these environments as ``Social Mini-Games'' (SMGs). SMGs are tightly coupled, high-agency interactions …

Fredrik Nyströms påståenden om träning och hälsa - en granskning
För några dagar sedan publicerades en artikel i Göteborgs-Posten med titeln Läkaren Fredrik Nyström varnar för att vi tränar oss till döds. I artikeln görs ganska många kontroversiella påståenden kring träning, kost och hälsa så jag tänkte att det skulle passa med en liten granskning. För den som har följt mig genom åren ät Fredrik […]

Fuck you all, I'm going to the moooon.

Julia #Klöckner sollte zurücktreten.
Sie lässt kein Fettnäpfchen aus. Allmählich fragt man sich, ob das nicht ganz gezielte Fehltritte sind, um die #CDU näher an die #AfD heranzuführen und das zweithöchste Amt in D…

Frank Gotthardt ist übrigens gar kein Milliardär, wie oft behauptet, nur ein schnöder Halbmilliardär. 2020 war er noch Milliardär, aber dann ging es wohl bergab, jetzt hat er wohl nur noch etwa 500 Millionen. Vielleicht hätte ihm Jens das erspahn können, aber das bleibt Spekulation.
Zeigt aber jedenfalls, daß auch ganz kleine Fische schlimm beißen können.

@… Ich werde Dir da sicher nicht widersprechen, aber dabei handelt es sich um eine Formalbeleidigung, da sind die Verurteilungen gewissermaßen gratis.
Das zeigt auch, wo dieses Land seine Prioritäten setzt, denn würden Beleidigungen der Intelligenz genauso hart bestraft wie die einer fiktiven Ehre, dann säße Merz die nächsten 100 Jahre in Festungshaft.
