Und das Standardforum so zu Konstantin Wecker: "Diese Aufregung ist so puritanisch! Außerdem alles legal! Und wer seine Musik nicht kennt, darf ihn eh nicht kritisieren!" Ähm ich darf auch Sachen, die legal sind, komisch finden?? Wir dürfen und sollten auch Künstler*innen kritisieren, egal wie […]

More than a half million people in Manila attend a rally, organized by a controversial evangelical Philippines-based church, to demand accountability for a flood-control corruption scandal […]

People will, without any irony, write stuff like "Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris both lost because they were bad candidates, they were both unlikable" without realizing that it's more difficult for ambitious women at that level to appear "likeable" - because of sexism. Deep down, most people […]

Also, this kind of crap drives me nuts. It's deliberate framing to say "this person was not important, healthy people don't have to worry" as they did in the pandemic. #gripe

Also manchmal frag ich mich schon.... Meldung im Radio: Autofahrer hat, von der Sonne geblendet, einen Traktor übersehen und ist auf ihn aufgefahren. Der Traktorfahrer musste ins Krankenhaus. Ja dann fahr halt langsamer, wenn dich die Sonne blendet!! Wie ist es bitte möglich, dass jemand einen […]

There has been talk of Nuremberg because of the trials, and today they found another bomb from World War II in Nuremberg. Up to 20 000 people need to be evacuated. The City of Nuremberg has a FAQ on the topic of bomb discoverys. They are a regular occurrence in Germany […]

It's very understandable that some US Americans hope for Nuremberg trials... but no one is going to invade the USA like the allies invaded nazi Germany. #uspol

mastodon should fix the bug where typos are invisible in the editing box but obvious on the timeline

If the two questions are not: How do we remove paedophles from office? and What systems allowed someone so horrible to become so powerful? Then I don’t want to know… https://mastodon.world/@verdantsquare/115542629695988673

"In a stark example, the proportion of Republicans who agree Americans have a responsibility to learn from our past is three times more than Democrats perceive it to be (93 percent versus 35 percent). Similarly, more than twice as many Republicans think schools should teach our shared national […]

"Many Republicans believe most Democrats want to teach a history defined by shameful oppression and white guilt. Many Democrats believe most Republicans want to focus on the white majority and overlook slavery and racism. But we found that both impressions are wrong. These perception gaps […]

Bitte spült mir keine Posts in die Timeline, die als Bildbeschreibung "Bild" stehen haben! Leider können wir uns nicht darauf verlassen, daher würd ich vor dem Teilen immer einen kurzen Blick in die Bildbeschreibung werfen. Klar gibt's unterschiedliche Vorlieben bezüglich Länge und Detailgrad […]

Gibt wenig Nervigeres als jene Fediverse-Leute, die auf schlechte Nachrichten mit "Warum bist du überrascht, das war doch eh klar" antworten (auch wenn gar niemand überrascht war) und einfach ständig hervorheben müssen, wie clever und abgebrüht sie sind umd wie sie alles schon vor Jahrzehnten […]

🍑-aufreibend in jeder Hinsicht. ^lm

Rolling my eyes at Gavin Newsom criticizing the deal in the senate. He's EXACTLY that type of politician who would vote for the deal if he were a senator. He invited Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk onto his podcast, then realized how unpopular that was and pivoted. He's now pretending to be Mr […]

Fahre heute in einer Kurve mit dem Auto. Kommt mir ein*e Autofahrer*in auf meiner Spur entgegen. Hat gerade ein Kind auf dem Fahrrad überholt, ich bremse und es geht sich eh alles aus, aber warte halt, bis du gute Sicht nach vorne hast!!! (Es war keine Vollbremsung nötig, aber ich find's […]

Every time I try to get into a romance story or show or whatever, I get irrationally irritated at everyone involved for not just being fucking adults and talking to one another about their feelings.

The ghosts of the old Noricans used to light signal fires to warn their living descendants of approaching enemies. #wyrdwednesday #austria #folktale #folklore #ghost #ghoststory https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/The_Ghosts_of_the_Old_Noricans

Excitedly waiting for the millionaires to leave so I can buy their swanky condos at a discount. ... aaaaand waiting.

Sometimes I wish US Americans would read their own constitution - and candidates' wikipedia pages - before they come up with stuff like "We need AOC/Mamdani for president in 2028!!" #uspol #mamdani #aoc

@heidilifeldman Dems have picked up +13 seats for a +14 seat majority in the house of delegates. Abby has her team and a majority of historic proportions. A mandate. #virginia is for winners

I'm glad that Mamdani won! I tried to watch his speech but I swear, my Austrian taste can't deal with the way that US speeches are sooo full of pathos. "The sun may have set over our city this evening, but ..." But it doesn't really matter, I'm relieved he won and not Cuomo! #zohranmamdani […]

Warum ist der Artikel in den Oberösterreichischen Nachrichten zur heutigen Wahl in New York City so schlampig recherchiert? Da wird Eric Adams als Republikaner bezeichnet (stimmt nicht), der eigentliche republikanische Kandidat wird unterschlagen. Und Mamdani kann angeblich wegen seines […]

Ugh, warum teilt ihr Accounts, die "Gendern" als "Neusprech" und "grausam" empfinden. Es gibt genügend vernünftige Leute in der Fahrradbubble, die ihr teilen könnt, und sicher auch andere, die etwas zum richtigen Fahren im Kreisverkehr schreiben.

Lukewarm take: If your team is made up with a majority of men, but most of the documentation was written by people who aren't men, your team has a misogyny problem.

Teaching Wilderness FirstAid, interesting to see how much blind faith people have in their smartphones, even when you are there to teach them how to deal with emergency situations in the wilderness and you tell them smartphones fail and are a problem. (almost a religion!) Me: "You don't want to […]

[Shoah, human remains, Austria] Austria: Archaeologists are still looking for the human remains of the victims of the 1945 Rechnitz massacre. Nazis shot 180 Hungarian jewish forced laborers. https://burgenland.orf.at/stories/3328303/

"Fachleute diskutieren #grippeimpfung für alle Kinder" Mir könnte es ja egal sein, was die Stiko in D so entscheidet. Ist es aber nicht. Ich hoffe, dass auch in D Kinder zukünftig geschützt werden. https://www.tagesschau.de/wissen/gesundheit/grippe-kinder-impfung-100.html #influenza #impfung

Na toll. Das Klimaticket OÖ Regional kostet ab Jahreswechsel statt 393 dann 467 Euro. Und da sind die Stadtverkehre in Linz, Wels und Steyr weiterhin nicht dabei. Warum wird das Klimaticket OÖ um fast 19 % teurer, während manche Bundesländer gar nicht erhöhen? Ich darf mehr Geld hinblättern, und […]

From the BBC: ""There are whole families living on the streets, with infants. There are no shelters. We are trying to get them food. The area looks like Hiroshima, it looks like the Gaza Strip," she told the BBC." #melissa #hurricanemelissa #jamaica #disaster

Power is hard to change. If you believe in change, and have enough luck and support to work your way up to power, changing power means relinquishing what you've earned to share it with people who used to be like you. Would you? In order to be successful, you need multiple people in these […]

NYC the time to vote is running out. It’s not a done deal at all. Pay attention.

Bei einem Teilnehmer des antifaschistischen Camps beim #Peršmanhof hatte die Polizei *vergessen*, seine Daten aufzunehmen. Das holten sie nun - am Tag nach einem Pressegespräch zum illegalen Polizeieinsatz - unter einem Vorwand bei einem polizeilichen Besuch in seiner Wohnung nach […]

This is a longstanding, thoroughly disproven lie. Vance is carving out a little niche for himself as the guy who tells vicious, racist lies about non-white people to massage the egos of white nationalists. And the *specific* lies he tells reveal he’s well versed in white nationalist propaganda.

Egal wie man es dreht und wendet - eine klassische Karriere in der Wissenschaft (d.h. Drittmittel, Professur) und eine familiäre Verpflichtungen, die über eine:n gesunde:n Partner:in hinausgehen, sind sehr schwer zu vereinen #ichbinhanna

[USpol, the discussion around Graham Platner is depressing] The discussion around Graham Platner is depressing. Progressives who simply don't buy his lies about not knowing - for many years - that his tattoo is a SS symbol immediately get accused by fellow progressives of "working for the […]

I am always seeing news stories about men getting caught not wearing pants (trousers) on webcam or seeing them openly fantasize about not having to wear pants. I have to conclude y’all find them extremely uncomfortable. May I suggest: skirts? Pants were invented to make it easier to ride horses […]

If you were born in 2007 and are a citizen or resident of a EU country (or Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Türkiye) you can win an interrail ticket! 40 000 tickets are available, that doesn't sound bad?! Deadline for applying is November 13th, 12:00 CET #Interrail #eu […]

Wie weit ist eigentlich das Verb "hecken" (mit der Bedeutung "einen Mini-Stromschlag bekommen") verbreitet? Also wenn ihr z.B. einen Pullover ausgezogen habt und dann die Türschnalle angreift und das passiert, sagen wir hier "Jetzt håt's mi g'heckt". Kennt ihr das? Oder wie sagt ihr dazu? […]

Looking forward to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor being denied boarding on a plane because his name change invalidates his passport.

Aufgewacht mit 2 Gelsenstichen, können diese Drecksviecha jetzt endlich mal draufgehen!!

hey, if you have young people in your life, ask if they or their housemates are on SNAP and if they need grocery money for next week (half my kid's housemates...Jesus I'm glad I thought to ask....)

Dear all - please do unisex t-shirts and assume this serves everyone. It's usually a men's cut that comes in small sizes and never (from a lot of experience and wrong buys) fits a body shape like mine. Offer different cuts so folks can choose what fits their body. /me, annoyed that I can't buy […]

@skinnylatte As someone who was homeless for 6 years, i can assure you people who've never been homeless have no clue how hard it is to shop for food. You don't have a refrigerator, have to carry it, things will go back or you don't have space / strength to carry it with everything else. Yet […]

I really think that people who haven’t been poor should not give money or frugality advice to poor people. The problem with poor people isn’t money management or knowledge, it’s the insufficiency of money. This goes for anyone who wants to help people on food stamps navigate this situation […]

Our university published an AI chat bot that gives guidance on how to apply for funding from the Academy of Finland. When it gives wrong information, it's the responsibility of the applicants who were mislead and whose applications were rejected. I don't understand how a university would want […]

Also dass die Uni Linz so toll mit Öffis versorgt wäre, sehe ich anders. Die Bim ist irre langsam und die Busse stehen im Stau. Es hat schon einen Grund, warum die geplante S7 eine Haltestelle bei der Uni bekommen soll... https://www.linza.at/s7/ #JKU #linz #stadtbahn #s7

Was mir am Bus Fahren gefällt, ist, dass ich Trends beobachten kann (hab sonst eigentlich keinen Kontakt zu jungen Leuten). Es gibt z.B. bei ihnen einen Trend zu großen, runden Brillengläsern, z.B. mit goldfarbener Fassung. Generell seh ich gar nicht so wenige junge Erwachsene mit Brillen.
