Getting my cat, Marcel, to the vet because he seems to (once again) have a UTI.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

The only responsibility I feel right now, along with many others in Germany, is to keep bookmarking moments like this, so that people here don't turn around and tell the rest of the world "we had no idea what was happening". They know. Everyone knows. At best - at best - they don't want to see it.

Eine Menschenmenge in Köln, einige haben Plakate dabei. Ganz im Hintergrund ist die Kölner Hahneportz auf dem Rudolfplatz zu sehen.

500 Teilnehmende waren zu Demo in Köln erwartet worden. Ich würde sagen, es sind deutlich mehr. Der Rudolfplatz ist jedenfalls voll.

Six ans après sa défaite contre Anne Hidalgo, Rachida Dati a été écrasée, ce dimanche 22 mars, dans une configuration de triangulaire qui a priori lui semblait plutôt favorable.

Ist die Meinungsfreiheit in Deutschland in Gefahr? Mit Ronen Steinke Spotify video

Neue #Folge. Ich habe mit @ronensteinke.bsky.social 🙏🏻 über #Meinungsfreiheit und über sein #Buch dazu gesprochen. Das Ganze ist, wie ich finde, überraschend interessant geworden. Warum? Weil - "schrecklicher Gedanke" - J.D. #Vance vielleicht doch einen Punkt hat.

It is so hard to be trans right now, y’all. Like, I can’t speak for everyone but I’m white-knuckling it pretty much constantly at this point. I hope cis people are understanding how much is at stake for us in this moment: It’s literally our right to exist as ourselves that is being stripped away.

Gen Z men twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations Almost a third of generation Z men think a wife should obey her husband, according to a global survey of 23,000 people that found young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations. A third (33%) of gen Z men also said a husband should have the final word on important decisions, according to the 29-country survey which included Great Britain, the US, Brazil, Australia and India. Almost a quarter (24%) of gen Z men think women should not appear too independent or self-sufficient, compared with 12% of baby boomer men. Attitudes toward sexual norms also differed sharply across generations, with 21% of gen Z men thinking a “real woman” should never initiate sex, compared with only 7% of baby boomer men. More than half (59%) of gen Z men said men were expected to do too much to support equality, compared with 45% of baby boomer men. For women, the proportions were 41% and 30% respectively.

Twenty-one percent of gen Z men believed that men who took part in caregiving for children were less masculine than those who did not, compared with 8% of baby boomer men and 14% of gen Z women. Both genders felt women had more choice in dating and relationships (22%), household roles (24%) and the clothes they can wear (34%), while men were considered to have more choice in hobbies (18%) and jobs (39%).
