every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

They think you're stupid.

The beatings will continue until everyone sees the way (German-style mixed-member proportional representation)

Very funny to speak of Israel's "battle-tested" technologies when the only remotely plausible war scenario involves Russia, and the relevant battle-tested expertise is held by Ukraine. "Raze the ghetto with air power" and "just war-crime them with pager-bombs" dont seem super relevant for Europe?

“Nearly all of Israel’s military equipment comes from domestic production, the United States or Germany, so the deteriorating defense ties with European countries will not have a major impact on Israel’s military procurement,” David May, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said. “If anything, the European countries will be harmed by losing access to Israel’s battle-tested and innovative defense technology.”

"Nearly all of Israel’s military equipment comes from domestic production, the United States or Germany,"

Uh yeah it's like 85% from the US, 14% from the Germans and 1% from domestic production lol.

Ah vier Stunden offline. Erstmal nachsehen womit der unbeliebteste Staatenlenker der Welt seine Bevölkerung einstweilen beleidigt hat

Would you trust a president who behaves this way?

"Twice over the past year, Mr. Trump has entered into diplomatic talks with Iran only to launch airstrikes while negotiations were still in their early stages."

Yes! People were amazed to find there was only one history of Spanish Flu in South Africa (where it killed c.6% of the entire population) and now in 2026 there is still one history of Spanish Flu in South Africa.

To be clear I don’t know what other folks do but in my classes we do in fact explain these things. We explain what the Nazis thought they were doing, too. I don’t know how you’d teach these subjects otherwise.

there's a japanese antidiarrheal whose packaging proudly claims to have won the russo-japanese war because it was so effective in addressing dysentery

Happy Nine Inch Noize day for all who observe!!!!

A takeaway from this article about a guy making money with an AI-generated "MAGA hot girl" is that of all his attempts it worked best because
-MAGA men fell for it (or were so desperate to believe that they didn't care)
AND
-Liberals posted many negative comments/quotes, boosting it in the algorithm

Illustrating once again the extent to which the Venezuela raid emboldened Trump to engage in further military adventurism.

Was unterscheidet die WELT eigentlich von nius?

Kann mich irren aber denke diese Tierärztin muss selber auch zumindest ein bisschen Dödel sein dass ihr nicht der Gedanke kam, dass Deutschland ja auch eigene Tierärztinnen und Meeresbiologinnen etc hat, und ihre Anwesenheit dementsprechend offenkundig das Umgehen dieser Expert*innen zum Zweck hatte

OK.

Ja, Blocken ist Handarbeit

Blocklisten nutze ich aus Prinzip nicht, will schon selber nachsehen warum ich einen Fremden am anderen Ende der Welt hassen sollte

N-tv news: kanpf gegen Gänse. Liveschalte des Wals vor Poel

The technological republic as Palantir presents it is an aesthetic argument th same way that fascism is (cf. Eco). It aims to make the world look a certain way

1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work"

I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.

Some ~2018 NIN sets would have an extended The Great Destroyer ending with Donald Trump soundbites spliced in, you can find some on YouTube

The number of Year Zero songs in Nine Inch Noize's set should treated as an indicator of democratic backsliding

The politicisation of climate change over time in one graph.

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

Talking to a German documentary film crew about the effect of climate on politics and reminiscing about when that conversation existed at any level here.

In July 2025 an IDF tank fired a shell at the roof of the church, seemingly aiming to knock the cross off the top. Debris from the impact killed 3 and injured 10 others. This was done out of boredom

In December 2023, they killed a mother and her daughter with sniper fire. They first killed the daughter and then shot the mother in the head when she ran out to drag her daughter to safety. 7 others were wounded during this mass shooting in the following 10 mins

I still don't fully understand why that IDF soldier pulling a statue of Christ off that crucifix and smashing its head in with a hammer is doing more diplomatic harm than the attacks on the Holy Family Church in Gaza did
