The NBA has postponed today’s Warriors-Wolves game in Minneapolis.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

This item has actually some news value. Who knew they (still) have a sports staff?

Es gibt immerhin eine erste Resonanz.

The Guuardian's running fact-check of Trump's Davos remarks is essential viewing. He hardly utters a sentence that isn't an easily verifiable lie. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I like how the rules of media sanewashing have a paradoxical effect. Trump doesn’t simply fuck up his speech; he only “appears to” because the rules dictate we have to leave room for the possibility he’s announcing a campaign to acquire the sovereign nation of Iceland—another NATO ally—as well.

BREAKING: A full-scale airlift is running around the clock, transporting troops and military equipment to Greenland. The operation is extensive, “beyond anything we’ve tried before,” a source tells DR. Danish F-35 fighter planes and warships from European allies involved. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Jede Menge Stoff: mein Text über die FIFA, Korruption und die jüngsten Anstrengungen der amerikanischen Justiz, die eigenen Anstrengungen einfach auszuradieren.

Thoughts and prayers to everyone who can't get their CSAM-and-white-nationalism fix this morning.

Denkt an VG Wort, liebe Schreibende

Below the surface the country is trending into the right direction. If it could only muster a way to put all the thugs behind bars who are running it right now.

„Fresh start“. „New marquee attacker“. Mit 29 kann man noch träumen. Da wachsen noch alle Bäume in den Himmel der Liebe.

A Republican elected official proudly declaring he has no problem with agents of the state shooting unarmed citizens in the face if they annoy the regime. It is impossible to make democracy work with a party that not only tolerates people like this, but elevates them to positions of influence.

Some fine replies to the German Embaassy's post. The worst the pun, the better, sometimes.

January 6 in History Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.” And here we are.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Did any of the papers that day talk abput how democracy and the rule of law would let him get away with it?

Maybe the greatest example of the bizarro world in which we now live is that European states are maintaining the dangerous fiction that the US would fight for them, when the more likely use of US military force would be to kick Europe out of Greenland.

And on this kind of garbage hang the fates of nations

This is what you do when you want to force one million Venezuelans out of the country and make them go back home. You create a pretext to change the regime that made people flee in droves. #venezuela #maduro

Can't wait.

What’s next? Streik? Aussperrung? Oder geht alles in Fetzen?

Das ist die Behörde, deren Repräsentanten an der Grenze darüber entscheiden, ob ihr rein dürft oder nicht. Deren Fremdenhass in einem Land mit 37 Menschen pro Quadratkilometer (Deutschland hat 242 pro qkm) ist ein massiver Brandbeschleuniger.

Gerade auf dem Amazon Music Kanal aufgeschnappt, der munter alten, mittelalten und neueren französischen Pop mixt. youtube.com/watch?v=E05S... Jacques Dutronc, wahrscheinlich besser bekannt als Ehemann von Françoise Hardy, in seiner Blütezeit. Exzentrisch und irgendwie ziemlich gut.

Or watch the video. And wait and watch how the indicted criminal will blow a gasket (or two).

Ob diese Band auch in diesem Archiv gelandet ist? youtu.be/XsdhlhkO_tU?...

These files are a reminder that intelligence agencies logged everything, not just what they understood. Most of it’s probably misidentified tech or natural phenomena- but the unanswered stuff is what keeps people hooked. Mystery lingers on! #UFOs #Declassified #CIA vocal.media/fyi/the-cia-...

Telling a stranger on the NY subway that Jim Jarmusch just got off the train in midtown Manhattan. She hadn't recognized him, but marveled at the four minutes of her life during which she stood in striking distance of a celebrity. For some people, even misses are hits.

More evidence here that Trump has been ingesting psychotropic drugs.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Weil Weihnachten ist, kleines Geschenk in Ergänzung zu diesem NYT Artikel www.faz.net/aktuell/spor... Merry Christmas, everybody.

Ich habe den notorischen Sexualstraftäter Larry Nassar und das Leid der Opfer (junge Turnerinnen) ausführlich beschrieben (zuletzt hier www.amazon.de/-/en/J%C3%BC... Dass ihm Jeffrey Epstein, sein Bruder im Geiste, mal eine nette Postkarte schicken würde und auch noch Trump erwähnt? 🤯🫣

This almost made me like Bob Dylan.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Ich hatte die Ruhe und die Zeit und habe es genossen. Über drei Stunden mit @gnetzer.bsky.social und @americanarena.bsky.social zu Fussball in den USA. Schaffe ich in dieser epischen Länge sonst kaum.

The FIFA Council has approved a record prize fund of $655million to be given out at the men’s World Cup in 2026 — a 50 per cent increase from the 2022 tournament in Qatar. More from @adamcrafton.bsky.social ⤵️

This is a great example that the US president is a lunatic. Listen carefully 🙈
