If Pope Leo goes on Joe Rogan, the US right-wing manosphere will explode.

Is it necessary to remind all people of good faith, that since WWII our international order has even gone beyond Just War Theory?

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Breaking: New study using observational constraints projects that the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC will weaken ~50% by 2100, even for medium emissions and without Greenland melting. 🌊
More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected.

Good news for Europe. So far this year, Meloni lost a referendum to weaken Italy's judiciary, Germany's state election in Baden-Württemberg saw the Greens remain largest party, in France's municipal elections, Le Pen failed to win Paris, Marseille, or Lyon. Today, Hungary freed itself from Orban.

Blocking the Strait of Hormuz to unblock the Strait of Hormuz is peak Trump foreign policy.

Waiting for #caturday.

Aber klar doch, in Rom einmarschieren, um den Papst zu kidnappen. Banger Idee. Also, wie wir ja nun wissen, absolut im Bereich des Möglichen.

Why the Vatican and the White House Are on the Outs Inside the collapse of Washington’s relationship with the first American pope.

The Trump administration offered a Vatican envoy "a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants—and that the Church had better take its side"

Ist sich die CDU bei ihren ganzen Erklärposts zu Ostern darüber im Klaren, dass sie da ein Flüchtlingskind verehrt, das Umverteilung gepredigt hat: "Wehe euch, ihr Reichen, denn ihr werdet arm werden"?

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

She definitely agrees!

(And she was allowed some salmon, too.) 😄

There are roughly 2,000 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf with more than 20,000 seafarers on them, according to the International Maritime Organization. Most have been stuck on board more than a month, because fewer than 200 ships have managed to slip through the Strait of Hormuz. In normal times, 20% of the world’s oil flows through the narrow waterway to global markets, along with critical supplies of natural gas, fertilizer and other cargo shipments. It’s unclear when the vital shipping lane will get back to normal. Fresh vegetables and freshwater are running out on many ships, so the sailors are using social media and very-high-frequency marine radios to share survival tips and tactics. Some Chinese crew members have filmed themselves collecting condensate from air-conditioning units to shower and wash laundry. Others have taken to fishing over the side of their tankers, catching tuna, squid and largehead hairtail to cook.

WSJ has a piece on the merchant sailors stuck aboard ships inside Hormuz. There are 20,000 of them (many from less privileged nationalities), effectively held hostage and running out of food.

Belated #caturday with Easter picnic bento boxes ready (but really not meant for the cat)!

Er ist wahrhaftig auferstanden.

Halleluja!

Frohe Ostern!

Die Meldungen verschwinden leider nicht aus den Feeds und werden ohne Scherz-Kontext später gelesen und verteilt. Drei Tage später ist es bei den Allermeisten nicht mehr weit her mit dem kritischen Lesen im Kontext "1. April". Insbesondere wenn Redaktionen keinen Hinweis nachträglich einfügen...

Heute ist wieder der nervigste Tag des Internets.

In Zeiten von KI-Halluzinationen, Fake News, manipulativer Bubble-Medien und Zerspaltung des Wahrheits-Konsenses sind #Aprilscherze in Form von bewussten Lügen nicht angemessen.

Lasst es einfach.

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

Können wir darüber sprechen, was für ein krasser Tabubruch es ist, wenn eine Regierung offen zugibt, politisch nicht auf Linie stehende Organisationen zu bekämpfen? Und dabei ausgerechnet Demokratiebildung in Deutschland einstampft?

Merz nennt Zuwanderung als eine Ursache für »explodierende Gewalt« Abgeordnete haben Friedrich Merz im Bundestag zu einer Stellungnahme zur Debatte über Gewalt gegen Frauen gedrängt. Die Antwort des Kanzlers sorgte für Empörung.

1 Woche, nachdem einmal mehr deutlich wurde, dass der gefährlichste Raum für Frauen das eigene Zuhause ist, wenige Tage nach einer beeindruckenden Demonstration gegen Gewalt an Frauen, nutzt der Kanzler mal wieder die Gelegenheit gegen Ausländer zu hetzen.
Beschämend!

Morgen um 17:30 Uhr findet in HAMBURG am RATHAUSMARKT eine Demo statt. Eigentlich plante ich dort hinzugehen, dort zu sprechen. Mittlerweile gibt es aber ernsthafte Sicherheitsbedenken, aufgrund von Morddrohungen gegen mich.

Collien Fernandes schreibt auf Instagram, dass sie wegen Morddrohungen morgen nicht an der Demo in Hamburg teilnehmen kann und ich möchte jetzt noch viel mehr alles anzünden.
