Dies bedeutet in keinster Weise, dass man dann auch eine bekommt. Sprechen Sie mal mit Betroffenen, statt solche blöden Aussagen hier hinzustellen, als wären alle selber Schuld.

Time for the House to implement work requirements (as they added to their Big Bogus Bill last summer) if they want to still get health benefits. Bad enough that they still get paychecks. apnews.com/article/hous...

Jesus Christ. It has come to this.

If you can help, help. The times are here again for people to help those in need against such bigotry and evil. You will always be on the right side of history. Always.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The whole point of fanart, fanfics, fanworks, is to make it yourself, as a fan, out of love, passion, spite, horniness—whatever drives and inspires you, as a human, to create. GenAI has no place in fandom, and it's gross and disingenuous to include the usage of it, especially without disclosure,

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Just got the registration E-Mail for the BSI Weekend and I'm so sad that I can't do 2026. But it's impossible for me right now. Even if I were to be let into the country, I just can't. I already miss everyone. Here's to hoping that 2027, this mess will be history.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Wer so etwas organisiert, hat jedes Maß verloren. Das ist keine Provokation, das ist politische Brandstiftung!
Nie wieder heißt - jetzt handeln!
Wir hoffen, dass sich vor Ort Menschen finden, die sich diesem 'makabrem Spektakel' entgegenstellen.
