Stell Dir vor:
Dein Kind geht an eine Demonstration.
Du findest den Grund für die Demo gut, aber Du hast auch Angst um Dein Kind!
Und tatsächlich: Dein Kind wird von Polizisten erschossen. Gezielt.
Du weisst nicht, wo sie den Leichnam Deines Kindes hingebracht haben.
Als Du es findest, heisst es:
Zahle 15.000 Franken für die Munition, mit der wir Dein Kind erschossen haben.
Du kannst aber nicht 15.000 Franken zahlen,

It Can Now Be Plainly Said:
Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État
During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off.
Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.
Back in 2024, Kamala Harris and the Democrats struggled to convince voters that a second Donald Trump term would constitute a serious threat to democracy.

Adding to what May said:
A fundamental problem here is that by and large colleges and universities are fundamentally ill-suited to building user-facing software. I don’t mean that they lack the •technical• expertise in house (they might or might not); I mean these institutions have •structural• problems: too many stakeholders, no history of the kind of team culture that makes software usable, no structural support for creating the space where that kind of team can succeed.

Imagine in what kind of "great atmosphere" the negotiations between the US and Iran will take place. The US attacked during earlier negotiations, killed several levels of Iranian leadership, their family etc... Two weeks will not be enough to accomplish anything meaningful I think 🤔 without even mentioning the fact that there is disagreement about how Lebanon is part of the current ceasefire. Trump's idea about quickly reaching a deal is pure fiction.

Honestly, as a professional who has spent their entire career working on the web, honing their skills, learning design, coding, best practices, and the intricacies of the web platform, it kind of sucks to get sent a Claude Design prototype by a client with the ask to implement it right away.

Watched a couple of episodes of #DeArktiskeReddere on DR (public broadcaster on Denmark) yesterday (series about #Greenland's search and rescue team - though they do a lot of emergency air ambulance type work too).
It's a really gripping and well filmed piece of work, sensitive on the difficult topics too and shows really well how different authorities work together.
I imagine it would be uncomfortable watching for USians who seem to imagine some kind of stone age society seeing healthcare emergencies dealt with so professionally with such excellent equipment (and for free at point of delivery).
I also find it hard to explain that the categories and separation between "Danes" and "Greenlanders" isn't always so clear cut and I think the programme got that over well.
It's filmed mostly in Danish but with Swedish, Norwegian and quite a bit of English, so may not travel easily but it's a really well done piece of TV and if you are at all interested in Greenland, it's worth seeking out.

Free speech is the power to criticize your government without fear of prosecution. It is a basic human right.
It is not about getting away with hurting your neighbor who never caused you any harm. Dignity is a human right.
That is also what "love your neighbor" is about.

Do not tolerate hate speech.

One of the things that I needed to do in in an early job was to go into backcountry cabins and deal with haunta virus. It involved going into the cabin, wearing a respirator and a bunny suit, opening all of the windows, and then spraying every surface down with bleach water. They told us that if you get haunta virus, the death is painful and quick.
Dealing with that was kind of easy. Just don't go wander through an old cabin without doing that. Possible person to person infection is scary.

That kind of coverage achieves something even individual posts on social media cannot: it was not just the people with lots of followers, not just the people favored by the recommender algorithm or the tides of popularity, but instead a broad cross section of whoever was out there.
I don’t know who’s offering coverage like that in Iran like that right now. It may not exist. But even the BBC article at the top — filtered, edited, formatted, and tidied to sound like a BBC article, but still individual voices of people who are living through it — even that is welcome.

I thus feel a bizarre kinship with him, and cringe extra hard every time he puts his foot in his mouth like this, thus presumably undermining not only his reputation but also his orthodontic work.

Iran is such an authoritarian state that the kind of political drivers that might push compromise don’t exist, she said,

I am here in California where the D party is trying mightily to assure that no D candidate ends up on the general election ballot in November.
For months on end we have been bombarded on all media types with ads from wealthy Tom Steyer (D).

These ads are rubbish, the kind that would come …

America’s war on Iran began with what was meant to be an intimidating performance of overwhelming air power.

By the time Trump tried to threaten Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz with a 48-hour ultimatum,
it was clear not just that the strait had become America’s singular strategic fixation but that…

The Iran War Is Revealing the Messy Middle of Our Renewable Energy Transition
When the world map of literal power changes, the political hierarchy shifts, too.

Forget false labels of Socialism:
Families are facing an emergency.
Senator Mark Keiiey's
"Cost-of-living Emergency Act"
is built around a simple idea:
When families are under the kind of pressure they are experiencing today, every part of the federal government should treat it with urgency and focus.
It requires agencies to look at how their decisions affect household costs.
It holds corporations accountable when they price-gouge or…

Watching Fedi and the world react to the US president go absolutely unhinged in public, threatening war crimes as his cognitive grip disintegrates before our eyes, watching the horror and the outrage…there is something I want to tell you from Minneapolis.
