This now-famous story, published 44 years ago today, was the NYT's first report on AIDS (which did not yet have a name). The subject was considered so minor that the NYT ran only 2 more stories about it in the year following. By the time the story made the front page, the death toll was over 1000.

"Illegale Migration ist ein Problem"

- Warum?

"Weil sie illegal ist"

- Warum?

"Weil wir das Gesetz geändert haben, damit es illegal ist"

- Warum?

"Weil Leute legale Migration nicht mochten"

- Warum?

"Weil ihnen eingeredet wurde, dass illegale Migration ein Problem ist"

Die Generation meines Großvaters hat einen kollektiven Amoklauf begangen und dabei Millionen Zivilist:innen grausamst abgeschlachtet.
Man weiß noch nicht genau, ob daran die Killerspiele, das Gendern oder die Grünen schuld waren.

I was on my boat late last night & thought I heard a scrabbling noise coming from outside. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye & looked up to see a fox had come through my open boat hatch & was climbing into my bed!

Erinnert ihr euch noch daran, wie ein CSU Innenminister ein Verfassungsschutzgutachten zur AfD abmildern ließ, weil es zu viele Ansatzpunkte hatte, die auch auf die CSU zutreffen? www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/afd-...

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
