Interessant, da wird der Mensch rausgeworfen, der sich quergestellt hatte. Bei FragdenStaat hieß es: "Goiny beschuldigt den Staatssekretär Oliver Friederici, dass er lügen würde und in der Verwaltung „krasse Antisemiten“ sitzen würden, die „sabotieren“. "

Also laut den Nachrichten die bei FragdenStaat veröffentlicht wurden, hat der sich doch gerade quergestellt: "Goiny beschuldigt den Staatssekretär Oliver Friederici, dass er lügen würde und in der Verwaltung „krasse Antisemiten“ sitzen würden, die „sabotieren“."

Anti Atomkraft Meme

Schwachsinn ist, wenn du nach 50 Jahren immer noch kein Endlager hast, aber wieder über Atomenergie debattieren willst.

Anti Atomsticker mit der Aufschrift Atomkraft ? Nicht schon wieder

"why don't people like AI?"

hmm a real poser...maybe because AI proponents are a collection of the worst people alive bragging about how badly it's going to fuck everything up, which is fine with them because they'll be rich?

that's one possibility

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Schwarze Moderne und schwarze Kritik Drei Neuübersetzungen der black radical tradition zeigen, wie die kapitalistische Moderne mit Kolonialismus und Rassismus verbunden ist

Die Tabelle zeigt die AfD bei den Kategorien Tradierter, Israelbezogener,

Antisemitischer Antizionismus einen Prozentpunkt hinter der Linken.

Die Tabelle zeigt die AfD bei den Kategorien Tradierter, Israelbezogener, Schuldabwehr-antisemitismus, Postkolonialer Antisemitismus weit vor allen anderen Parteien und bei Antisemitischer Antizionismus einen Prozentpunkt hinter der Linken.

Ein Parforceritt durch die deutsche Geschichte seit 1800 und den jüdischen Kampf gegen Antisemitismus zwischen universalen und partikularen Strategien. Stefanie Schüler-Springorum endet mit diesem Hinweis: in *allen* Kategorien des A. liegt die AfD heute vorn, wir sprechen kaum darüber.

As a Centrist Democrat, I Ran on a Promise to Fix Killer Shower Clowns. But Now That I’m in Office, I Believe We Should Consider the Issue More Cautiously “I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not there should be an organized response to these deadly clowns with spiders for hair behind the shower curtai...

"We just don’t know enough. Are they aliens or demons? Are they psychic projections of our deep-seated fears given a terrible facsimile of life through dark magics? Are the same clowns behind everyone’s shower curtains, or do we all have individually tailored monstrosities?"

Three right-wing ideologues signed contracts that may require they register as foreign agents for a Hungarian government-funded organization – and that the organization is possibly altering language in contracts to avoid this – according to a review of their contracts with the organization.

Conservative activist Christopher Rufo, right-wing writer Michael O’Shea and Claremont Institute senior fellow Jeremy Carl signed contracts with the Hungarian government-funded nonprofit Batthyány Lajos Foundation (BLA), which maintains the Danube Institute (DI), a Hungarian think tank. The contracts are from 2022 and 2023.

These contracts require either a speech, media appearance, reports or – in the case of O’Shea – a minimum of two articles in U.S. or European media. They cover issues of migration, LBGTQ+ rights, critical race theory (CRT) and Hungary’s relations with regional allies. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has used all these issues to win influence with the international conservative and far-right movements.

I'm fairly gobsmacked by the number of people who profess surprise that Orbán was funding CPAC. Did you know of his ties to Heritage and Project 2025?

One of the most telling, tho, was he funded Rufo and the racist Trump tried to install at State, Jeremy Carl.

Peter Magyar announced that CPAC Hungary and the rightwing Mathias Corvinus Collegium will no longer receive funds from the Hungarian state, and there will be investigations into the use of state funds to finance them. This is the end of the two biggest rightwing numbskull factories in Europe. 😎

The word blurb was coined in 1906 by American humorist Gelett Burgess (1866–1951).[2] The October 1906 first edition of his short book Are You a Bromide? was presented in a limited edition to an annual trade association dinner. The custom at such events was to have a dust jacket promoting the work and with, as Burgess' publisher B. W. Huebsch described it, "the picture of a damsel—languishing, heroic, or coquettish—anyhow, a damsel on the jacket of every novel".

In this case, the jacket proclaimed "YES, this is a 'BLURB'!" and the picture was of a (fictitious) young woman "Miss Belinda Blurb" shown calling out, described as "in the act of blurbing." The name and term stuck for any publisher's contents on a book's back cover, even after the picture was dropped and only the text remained.

It brings me great pleasure to inform you the word "blurb" is named after a made-up woman named Belinda Blurb whose job is to tell everyone how great a book is
