please say a Respectful hello to German skeleton athlete Axel Jungk

US olympics announcers: FANTASTIC!! Bryleeigh showed us how it’s done with American ingenuity, although of course the crafty china-woman and the snow-skulled Swiss were able to defeat her (11th of 30) german announcers: Ah. Well, Stefan will have many points of improvement to discuss (gold medal)

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

God damn it is undeniable how many people just outright hate AI. I don’t think any technology in history has ever revolted so many people in such a public and prominent way

why did cecilia bartoli sing the olympic anthem and not Non Piu Mesta

you need to stop raising money off someone you hate

germany could raise 100 billion annually by fairly taxing inheritance.

das is teil einer gezielter kulturkampf der Berliner Union und SPD gegen dieser stadt und die menschen die hier wohnen

To be clear this particular lie wasn’t *that* much more coherent when media, including ostensibly “liberal” newspapers, couldn’t stop printing it

First poll Starmer has been ahead in for quite a while. Starmer knew about Mandelson. Now he must resign.

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

he found plenty of money and traffickable GIRLS in america dawg.

“soprano Renée Fleming and banjo great Béla Fleck will be joined by Fleck’s all-star My Bluegrass Heart band for a celebration of Appalachian folk music” the diction is going to be SPECTACULAR on this one. i hope she wears fendi silk gingham dungarees

i know it smell crazy in there

whatever it is no one wants it

slightly overparted singers on a freudian rotating set with donald runnicles conducting a questionable overwrought early 20th century german opera with bad gender politics is what we call Deutsche Oper Berlin-maxxing

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

what do you mean by „the former german defense minister and husband of the current german minister of commerce is in the epstein files“

the choice between “the zionist pedophile cabal is real” and “the banal exercise of dysfunctional concentrations of power crushes human life” is the choice between the socialism of fools and actual socialism

In which Foucault wins the Foucault-Chomsky debate from the grave

the kicker is the last paragraph, in which it sure seems like chaslin and epstein joke about how the problem with james levine was he was a GAY nonce and not just a regular one

the civil rights movement did not win by awakening the secret virtue of Southern whites by appealing to their better nature. it won by producing a demonstration of their brutality Northerners could not ignore

many people are going to be tempted to say this proves the weakness of peaceful protest. this is incorrect because it assumes this happening is a failure of peaceful protest rather than the mechanism by which it succeeds

please do not allow righteous anger at industrial scale assault and abuse make you into a conspiratorial loon who hangs on salacious detail and loses the plot. the powerful have a huge incentive to shape our response to epstein into a mass psychosis event / bigotry to avoid being held to account

Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.” This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

media/source literacy at an all time low. everyone rightfully suspicious of mainstream outlets but willing to believe a random blurry meme or a tiktok by someone they’ve never heard of. “the files say this” - ok what’s the document? who wrote it? ask basic questions! get smarter fast! it matters!

why are @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov planning on approving a single appropriations dollar for this

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

“Might we ask what it is within the, shall we say, Nordic? disposition, which endeeears them so to the collectivist, and agitating elements within our society, one’s so much [cough] darker than themselves?”

fyi @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are voting for more money for this

Deporting citizens is already against the law. These people are worse than useless.

why are @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov so deeply committed to selling your freedom to these increasingly unpopular freaks? are they too weak to fight or are they bought and paid for? either way: fire them both.

Anyway congrats to our Free Speech Champions(tm) who helped usher in the most censorious American government since the Palmer Raids

worse than the Tories

Zwei Jahre lang wurden die Todeszahlen aus Gaza systematisch und koordiniert in Frage gestellt und ins Lächerliche gezogen, um den Völkermord an der palästinensischen Bevölkerung stillschweigend zu legitimieren. Jetzt haben die IDF selbst die Zahlen zugegeben. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

This moment calls for someone other than Amy Klobuchar, whose idea of right and wrong is for sale to the highest bidder and/or determined by the last poll she saw

not worth your vote

The core motivation of modern online centrism is nostalgia for school

Berlin’s streets are plowed. Its sidewalks are covered in ice—dangerous to everyone but especially elderly and disabled people. The city has no plans to salt or clear the sidewalks. The CDU is fighting culture war against the city it hate-governs from the car-owning suburbs. Elections in September.

Das ist der Grund, warum wir heute die Verkehrssenatorin im Parlament gelöchert haben. Streusalzeinsatz hängt in der Koalition, weitere Maßnahmen haben sie nicht in petto. Autopolitik

The Democratic Party's current official policy position is that the big dark orange box there can remain indefinitely as long as they pinky-promise to follow some rules and wear QR codes.
