Welcome #BackToWork folks, here is hoping for a good 2026. PS if you have good news for me, today is a great day for sending it to at least add sprinkles to the pile of dirt :)

Ich sammle derzeit Spenden für ukrainische Soldaten, die ich persönlich kenne – Männer, die seit fast drei Jahren ihr Land gegen die russische Aggression verteidigen.

DE is still divided over military expenses, military service, and Ukraine - meanwhile Russia is already IN GERMANY, operating, observing, undisturbed. Read this great summary of drone activity. & track the boat yourself, now in Greece, >4 days at Piraeus. www.digitaldigging.org/p/they-drone...

Oh my gad, on fast forward re-watched #LoveActually - what a misogynistic piece of s***: politician falling for his assistant, pr company CEO falling for his assistant and stepping out on his wife, writer falling for his cleaning lady, some 30 year olds marrying or creeping up on a 17year old. ...

The most extreme thing to do about climate change is nothing.

#CBIAS2025 discussion about software maintenance is turning into stories from the graveyard. "Tool only opens image file format that does not exist anymore, so we use a selfmade Matlab script to convert it, to then run on on the machines in one lab....." 🥴😭

Worüber ihr kein Wort von Merz, Spahn, Söder hören werdet: Ein Gutachten zum Weihnachtsmarkt-Anschlag in Magdeburg stuft diesen als rechtsextrem motiviert ein. Der Täter plante ihn jahrelang, kündigte ihn an und verortete sich selbst in einem rechtsextremen Netzwerk. #Stadtbild

Das crazy! Die Bundesregierung will Geld sparen – setzt aber den komplett falschen Fokus. Das belegen die Zahlen eindeutig. Für uns ist glasklar, wo wir den Schwerpunkt setzen müssen! Was denkt ihr? #bürgergeld #sozialleistungen #gerechtigkeit
