Newsom choosing to frame right-wing extremist as someone interested in „good-faith debate“ & engaging „with each other, across ideology“, is asinine. Kirk promoted the „Great Replacement“ conspiracy theory, spewed hate against LGBTQ people, called for a „patriot“ to bail out Paul Pelosi‘s attacker

Can’t wait to introduce bird-based storage into my backup system

A twitter post explaining how you can “save PNGs to birds” by converting a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram then playing it to a starling who sung it back, reproducing the PNG.

Richtig toll: Den Aachener Friedenspreis erhalten in diesem Jahr Birgit und Horst Lohmeyer, die im Nazidorf Jamel das jährliche Open-Air-Festival "Jamel rockt den Förster" organisieren und so trotz ständiger Bedrohungen ein Zeichen gegen Rechtsextremismus und für Toleranz und Vielfalt setzen.

Trotz Drohungen Kampf gegen Rechts: "Jamel rockt den Förster" bekommt Aachener Friedenspreis

Der Aachener Friedenspreis geht dieses Jahr an ein Künstlerehepaar in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und studentische Aktivisten im Iran.

And "x hatte eine weiße weste" (x had a white vest- x was free from guilt)

So:
Sein letztes hemd war eine weiße weste
(His last shirt was a white vest)

Could go in that direction

I was thinking about it for a while and i'm afraid that there is no word yet. But you could maybe frankenstein something from "das letzte hemd hat keine taschen" (your last shirt has no pockets - referring to someone dying and not being able to keep anything)

Dieses Essay ist einer der wichtigsten politischen Texte der letzten Jahre. Es erklärt den Zusammenhang von Inflation und der extremen Rechten und warum Inflation im Ansatz verhindert werden muss.
Antifaschistische Wirtschaftspolitik ist das Gebot der Stunde.

Wolfram Weimers Manifest ist voller schlimmer Aussagen, aber diese Metapher toppt fast alles: „Der Zweite Weltkrieg wirkte für das koloniale Selbstbewusstsein wie ein Verbrennungsofen der europäischen Ansprüche – machtpolitischer, wirtschaftlicher, kultureller und moralischer Natur.”

Praktisch und nett, dass wir jetzt alle "kostenlos" lustige Actionfiguren generieren und von ChatGPT unsere Emails schreiben lassen können. Aber was viele nicht wissen, dafür haben Menschen im Globalen Süden, konkret in Kenia, einen hohen Preis gezahlt. 1/5
