According to my vast and comprehensive research, a #KitKat bar weighs ~41.5g these days, which means 413,793 of these would add to to 17.17 metric tons, 16.9 imperial tons, or about 3,816 cats. Why does the article peg it at 12 tons? And why am I factchecking this?

Great piece by Patrick Boyle of how 'the market' has remained oblivious/ignorant of the real fallout of the situation in the Middle East and why a quick return to the status quo is unlikely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GGx...

Tagesspiegel: „Im analogen und digitalen Raum" Merz sieht „explodierende Gewalt" und Zusammenhang mit Zuwanderung Aus Sicht des Kanzlers „explodiert" die Gewalt in Deutschland. Ein beachtlicher Teil dieser Gewalt komme aus den Gruppen der Zuwanderer, sagt Merz. Stand: heute, 17:21 Uhr

Statistik von Dstatista: Statistik zeigt Steigerung rechtsradikaler Straftaten. Diese bilden den Höchststand vor allen anderen Kategorien

Klassische rassistische Ablenkung von Merz wie immer

Talk & Play 54 First Talk & Play of 2026 - and it was a packed one! As usual: for more info on the talk given by Sebastian Möring and the games that were displayed, head over to www.meetup.com/de-de/berlingam...

It's been a busy month, but here they are at long last: the photos I took at @berlingamescene.bsky.social 's #TalkandPlay 54. *cracks knuckles* flic.kr/s/aHBqjCMJif

Big congrats, Pierre!

Reminder that @indiearenabooth.de is now about 100 times the size of its original #gamescom 2013 footprint. Based on my reliable projections, it will have grown enough to change the moon orbit in 2045 and will eventually collapse unto itself to form a black hole by 2070.

Worth it.

P.S:: Apply!

#RT highly appreciated 💖

I don't have much to say because it feels there aren't a lot of adequate words of comfort after such a terrible loss. So sorry. Above frustration aside, I do hope you have some loved ones that can help you with all that needs to be taken care of now and provide some support...
