Given the state of the world today you gotta think outside the box (original source unknown)

Prediction: it will not be built right the second time around, either

Can this be a solution?

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Ich glaube ja, dass da noch ziemlich viele Layer Marketing drüber liegen. Aber trotzdem ist es ein Alarmsignal 🚨 Und die dt Autoindustrie schläft 🛌 Und die Union träumt von alter Verbrenner-Größe.

Hegseth: "We are only four days into this and the results have been incredible." - Middle East engulfed in regional war - 11 countries attacked by Iran - Oil & gas prices skyrocketing - Strait of Hormuz now a conflict zone - Terrorism threat raised across the world - No sign of Iran regime collapse

I hope #Trump s “4 weeks” for Iran are not measured in the same way as his “24 hours” for Ukraine.

How to avoid censorship? Break out of the usual distribution chain ⛓️‍💥 e.g. use PDFs in WhatsApp-Channels. #AMF2026

Maybe even go so far as to build something ourselves?

What’s really impressive (despite the content & people of course) at the #AMF2026 in Nairobi: Every session has a sign language interpreter and there is even a psychologist present, in case someone needs supper after a session on traumatic events (e.g. the situation in Sudan)

I mentioned DIY privacy options and this site has a good collection of recommendations. I hesitate to say use Google’s free service because it also requires you to give more information to Google. www.privacyguides.org/en/tools/

EFF is the place to start to learn about how to get a handle on your online privacy. They have tools, explanations, and simple steps to get you going: www.eff.org/issues/priva...

BEWARE: JoinDeleteme.com is the OG service. Another “DeleteMe” at DeleteMe dot com popped up and is not the same thing. The other one I use is Optery. There are essentially the same premise but with slightly different options. (Referral link) get.optery.com/0kwzlavnoov0

It’s been a while since we’ve done a privacy party, so I’m going to drop some links to what I’m personally familiar with. These are not exhaustive, just personal recs… Starting with DeleteMe for personal info takedowns (referral link with discount) joindeleteme.com/refer?coupon...

This is going to be as successfull as „ending the war in Ukraine in 24h“ apnews.com/article/trum...

Ich finde es ausgesprochen mutig (und das sollte es gar nicht sein müssen), dass Agnes Reisch so offen über das Thema spricht. Ihr gilt mein Respekt; den Hatern dagegen nur meine Missbilligung. www.tagesspiegel.de/sport/skispr...

Die Antwort auf die Dunkelfelduntersuchung kann nicht sein, dass Frauen mutiger sein sollen, anzuzeigen, sondern dass die Gründe ernst genommen werden, weshalb sie sich nicht an den Staat wenden können. Auch nicht die Fussfessel, ein paar Gesetzesverschärfungen, sondern ein Gesamtkonzept.

Pls don't say "I just can't share that racist image" of the Obamas. SHARE IT w/context. - Donald Trump is a known racist. - Americans elected him POTUS. 2X. - It wasn't over the price of eggs. - His thugs terrorize browns & blacks by shade & accent. - Digest what that means. - Don't turn away now.

Donald Trump is a racist.

"Fragen Sie Ihre Töchter"

Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz: “I have left X. That network is a place of hate. “We are not vassals of Elon Musk or Trump.”

Das muss dieses „inhaltliche Stellen“ sein, von dem immer alle reden, wenn es um die #noAFD geht.

Cowardly and racist is an amazing combination. We all know that wasn't a staffer and that he meant that shit. bsky.app/profile/leba...

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Ich finde es ja toll und wichtig, dass es Gesetzte in den USA gibt, die eine Wahlübername durch Trump verhindern. Aber die Argumentation ist naiv: Jemand, den das Recht nicht schert (wie Trump), lässt sich dadurch doch nicht aufhalten. Wann betrachten wir die Dinge also mal realistisch mit Trump?

While painting a dire picture of the state of the US gov (one that would make you think it's going down soon), I'm afraid I can't share the optimism within (that the gov will just crumble once these scenarios really play out). They'll cling to power. chadbourn.substack.com/p/trump-on-t...

🙈 🏴‍☠️🤯

Dass das Europäische Parlament Mercosur heute mit einer Mehrheit aus Rechten, Linken und Grünen vorerst gestoppt hat, ist verantwortungslos in einer Zeit historischer geopolitischer Umbrüche. Meine Meinung:

Life in Minnesota is terrifying right now, but every day I feel amazed by watching us wake up and go fuck with these absolute losers. Minnesota is going to annoy the regime to death and upon the graves of the fascists we'll erect a statue to Barb the librarian who ran dispatch.

😂

Das Argument "Europa hat sich immer von den USA beschützen lassen, jetzt müssen die USA auch mal was davon haben" ist doch Unsinn. Globale Hegemonie, Dollar als Standard, Wirtschaftswachstum durch politische Stärke - die USA haben am allermeisten profitiert, von der Weltordnung, die Europa mittrug.

There is only one way to cover this Trump speech at Davos: Batshit crazy Yes there were sentences that made sense, and yes many ‘greatest hits’ but please global media, do not sanewash this, do not call it enigmatic etc. Trump is dangerous to this planet and its inhabitants.

Greenland, Iceland, what's the difference

Till now, the EU and NATO approach to Trump has followed by pattern of a parent constantly trying to placate a toddler to avoid a complete melt down. I understand why they thought it was worth a try, but now that toddler has become a spoiled little brat who attacks others. Time for firmer action.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

The only valid response by the EU to this must be: #FuckOff. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

* Wer über drei Jahre hinaus Teil des Gremiums sein will, muss eine Milliarde US-Dollar zahlen* Geld an eine Organisation zu geben, der Trump auf Lebzeiten vorsitzt und in der das alleinige Entscheidungsrecht hat. Sicher eine erstklassige Idee. #IronieAus

* Wer über drei Jahre hinaus Teil des Gremiums sein will, muss eine Milliarde US-Dollar zahlen* Geld an eine Organisation zu geben, der Trump auf Lebzeiten vorsitzt und in der das alleinige Entscheidungsrecht hat. Sicher eine erstklassige Idee. #IronieAus

*In dem Entwurf heißt es, dass Trump den Vorsitz führt. Und auch, dass er allein entscheidet, wie lange er Vorsitzender bleiben will.* Diese Zeilen sollten klar machen, dass dieses Gremium alles sein wird, nur kein Friedensbringer. www.tagesspiegel.de/internationa...

Can you be any more specific? Anyone not taking Trump seriously on his annexation plans of any other country, has been asleep in both history classes and during the last months. It needs a strong European answer.

Herr #Merz: in etwa SO würde ich mir das vorstellen.

Genau so klare Worte wünsche ich mit als Anwort auf diesen Schwachsinn hier: www.tagesspiegel.de/internationa...

It only Europe has leverage …
