Got an email that it was 22 years ago that I started a LiveJournal. 😃 For a number of years in the 2000s, “LJ” was the main place I shared my thoughts and general posts. I did set it up as “blog . danyork . com”… and I remember many conversations there. After it was sold to a Russian media company in 2007, I started to phase out my usage. The last time I really used it was 2008.
Now… it is a trip into the past:
Jens Spahn: „Der Heizungskeller wird wieder zur Privatsache!“ Klimaschutz ist - wie Nils Minkmar korrekt bemerkt - keine Laune von Robert Habeck, sondern Pflicht – so das Bundesverfassungsgericht.

Posts zum Schmunzeln - April, April – und das Internet spielt verrückt #News #Nachrichten
I see some posts arguing that everything in Minneapolis is just more of the same that people of color have been living with forever, and white people are just waking up to it. I have never once heard that sentiment, however, from a BIPOC person who’s been living •in Minneapolis• for the last two months.
There is a crucial point there: this •is• precedented. It’s all precedented. But it’s not just more of the same.

Die Zuspitzung der Angriffe auf die offene Gesellschaft durch Trump und Putin erschwert das Geschäft der rechtsextremen Parteien. Nun sehen alle, was Remigration in der Praxis bedeutet.
