Ich weiß nicht, ob die Festnahme von Michael Bonvalot bei einer Demo der Rechtsextremen gerechtfertigt war. Auch mit einem Presseausweis muss man sich an behördliche Anweisungen halten. Ob die Polizei überreagiert hat, wird sich zeigen, weil er verständlicherweise klagt.

„Erste Hilfe bei Selbstmitleid.“
Nicht glauben, „mehr Geld“ würde Probleme lösen. Weniger mit dem eigenen „Schicksal hadern“.

Das empfiehlt das Familienministerium Alleinerziehenden in einem Ratgeber.
Im Jahr 2026.

Das ist keine Unterstützung.
Das ist blanker Hohn.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job.

Think about that in context of
AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP.

Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down.

"AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago.

We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.
Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Thread.
This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does:

If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us

get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

Nach gestern als funktions-roter in die Öffentlichkeit zu gehen und zu sagen, "ja das passt, Das haben wir gut gemacht." Das erfordert genau den Schlag Menschen , der dieses Trauerspiel erst ermöglicht hat.

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies.

Das Problem:
Marktmechanismen alleine würden kein Gaskraftwerk vor Erreichen seiner Amortisation abschalten. Unternehmerisch wäre dies unsinnig, volkswirtschaftlich - unter Einbeziehung der Klimafolgeschäden - aber nicht.
Der Klimawandel ist ein Marktversagen.
Nachhaltigkeit: Merz will Klimawandel mit Marktwirtschaft lösen
Der Bundeskanzler spricht häufiger von Risiken der jüngeren Generation durch ökologische Schäden. In einer Grundsatzrede hat er nun den Handlungsspielraum der Politik skizziert.

Wie glaubt die VP, dass das bei ihren Wähler jenseits der 60 reingeht?
Was sind da für "Strategen" am Werk?
Die Partei müsste es längst zerlegt haben, hätte sie nicht die meisten Medien derartig im Sack.
Die ÖVP gehört eingespart.

Die Anzahl von Leuten, die heute "mein Amazon Zeug wird teurer, deshalb wähl ich nicht mehr SPÖ" quer durchs UGC-net schmieren, macht nachdenklich. Oder belustigt. Man weiß es nicht.

Listen to Pete and stop it with the "you have to get with the future or be left behind"-tropes. If a thing like that crosses my way you know your parcel will be... delayed somewhat.
Who agreed to robots, owned by private companies, making profit for private companies, taking up entire pavements, owned by people, paid for by people?

It’s like the scooter/bike thing - if you consider yourself even notionally left wing but defend ANY of this, it’s Big Questions time.
Me and my friends would've killed the drunken Evri robot with hammers, I can tell you that much.

Die Zeiler Geschichte ist seit gestern tot, denn der überaus kompetente und charismatische ehemalige Wahlkampf Leiter der SPÖ hat sich als sein supporter geoutet. Oder, @mhuber.bsky.social, was sagst du?

And it's always people with faces looking like a bad dessert. Not like having had a bad dessert. Looking like a bad dessert.
A HMRC official was sacked because he was caught on camera saying he gives wrong information to black and brown people when they call for advice in a bid to sabotage them. He was a member of the far right group Patriotic Alternative.

How many more?

Altman and his ilk deserve life sentences in prison with no parole, and all their wealth and companies confiscated. That's the moderate position.

Let’s be clear: if you think your initial take on every situation is right and never listen to wiggles of doubt in your gut, that’s you being a primo target for scammers. What Julia is doing here—crowd-sourcing information when something feels wrong—is how people don’t get trapped by scams!.
Btw if you're quoting this insinuating that I'm an idiot, shame on you, frankly. People are learning stuff from a question you may find basic.

You can't buy charisma like that.
Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today!

We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.
