So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

It’s 2026 and this performative animal cruelty bullshit is still going on.

Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

I know this app is free and all, but it would be nice if very basic stuff didn’t break every five minutes.

Krass. Da lande ich unaufgefordert in einer schrägen WhatsApp Gruppe, die Geld bietet, wenn man "Influencer" auf Instagram liked, und der erste, den man pushen soll, ist...Ulf Poschardt!

Der «arme Künstler» ist eine Erfindung der Moderne, aber eigentlich auch erst mit der Moderne gibt es Künstler*innen, die finanziell unabhängig waren, weil ihr Auskommen durch familiäres Erbe gesichert war (Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Cézanne, Marcel Duchamp, Edgar Degas, Niki de Saint Phalle)

Oder William Eggleston z.B.

You can tell that something is in the air when Obama shows up for Mamdani and NPR is getting concerned about inequality.

Armut zu verklären und so zu tun, als ob Reichtum keine Rolle spielen würde…

Eigentlich auch noch mal ein Thema, dass Meier und auch die zwei von Kraftwerk einfach nur reich waren/sind. Ohne den Reichtum wäre elektronische Musik anders verlaufen.

At the launch of Gisèle Pelicot's memoir "A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides" in February 2026, actors Juliet Stevenson, Kristin Scott Thomas and Kate Winslet performed readings. This was posted today by @southbankcentre

Um sich anschließend über Zustände an Bahnhöfen zu echauffieren und dann in Gated Communities zu verschanzen, während Slum-Bildung in Metropolen einsetzt.

Spiegel Screenshot: Merz spricht von Rente als Basisabsicherung, pflege soll teurer werden.

Eine Reform besteht aus mehr als "ich lasse die Leute zahlen und nehme ihnen gleichzeitig was weg". Das ist Enteignung, keine Reform.

Für Beitragszahler:innen, Renter:innen und Pflegebedürftige wird's schlimm. Aber keine Sorge: für die Reichsten bleibt alles gut.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Gratuliere, Herr Oberrat!

Yeah. "I disagree with the Court's legal analysis" is one thing, but "the Court isn't using legal analysis to decide cases" is another. The latter is no longer in the realm of law and should not be treated as if it is.

'Like Gaza': IDF razes south Lebanon villages during cease-fire, sources say Sources Describe a Policy Modeled on Gaza Operations, With Contractors and Heavy Machinery Demolishing Civilian Infrastructure South of the Litani; Officials Say It Aims to Prevent Residents' Return a...

IDF commanders told Haaretz that southern Lebanon is being demolished “like Gaza.” The declared goal is to prevent civilians from being able to return.

Both are war crimes punishable under international law.

This is a good video about a good approach (starts at about 1:00 in) to dealing with the problem.

unwisely searched eBay for "reel to reel jazz" after seeing this and the first return is Miles Bitches Brew for $178 with all the original packaging

Instant meme potential btw

This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon

Amazing. We’ve built a machine that can move faster than a human. What will they think of next?

Currently reading «The Technological Republic» by Palantir CEO Alex Karp, a book both intensely frightening and incredibly boring – a blend of techno-fascist manifesto and generic airport business book, or what you’d get if you asked ChatGPT to rewrite Ernst Jünger in the style of a NYT op-ed

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Whatever you do,

I've had some friends suggest that there was plausible deniability for people who used to work at Palantir who thought at the time it was just another tech company. I always found that hard to believe as it was always creepy and cultish. But after this... anyone still working there...

I want to live in a world again where this is the main news.

"our son was run over by our car" is a masterwork in the field of passive language
