Props an @bahn.de : anstatt der angesagten Verspätung von einer halben Stunde, kam mein ICE 15 Minuten ✨vor✨ der ursprünglich geplanten Ankunftszeit in Berlin an. Ich bin begeistert! Nächstes mal gerne wieder so.

Könnt ihr euch noch an die Zeit erinnern, wo die Wissenschaft ein globales Problem erkannt hat, dann die Politik ein bisserl rumgeeiert ist, aber letztlich die empfohlenen Maßnahmen wirksam umgesetzt hat, ohne dass obskure Spinner und Leugner je eine nennenswerte Rolle gespielt hätten?

I hereby predict, @archive.org will be among the Trump administration's next target, following Orwell's famous dictum that "[t]hose who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future."

"When Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited the library she stood on the American side and said "U.S.A. No. 1" and then, after crossing onto the Canadian side, said "the 51st state." Boudreau told CBC News she did this multiple times. "

This is the dumbest timeline.

Warum Faschismus Bildung hasst:

Bildung vermittelt die Fähigkeiten eine Gesellschaft zu gestalten und nicht sich dieser nur anzupassen.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame
