Remember that meme?
Trump (exulting): Everybody wants to make love to me!
Obama (seeming a bit tired): Na, Donald, that's not the meaning of “Fuck Trump!”.


Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army is fitting.
But the Army doesn’t need to celebrate Donald Trump.
That’s what’s about to transpire in the shadow of the White House
— a ridiculous, self-aggrandizing display that would look right at home in Moscow or Tiananmen Square.
It should not happen here. Ever.

This follows up an announcement the French/German governments are developing an open-source Notion clone (it's called Docs).

Europe is making a move toward digital sovereignty and it may coincidentally result in a tech stack with properties I want (AI-free, OSS, Linux-compatible). Hm.

also impressed with dns4eu, a DNS service with options for adblocking funded by the EU.

I won't complain if the EU leads a huge push for user-respecting tech.

🇮🇱🗣️ Netanyahu: Iranian missiles will come. The counterstrike will come. We hit their significant forces. We destroyed their largest enrichment plant in Natanz.

The strike we delivered is one of the only attacks of its kind in history—on a scale much larger than the pagers.

There is chaos there now, but there will be attacks. They may be in waves and severe.

“The feds employ about 2 million civilians. How many civilians did they employ in 1953? About 2 million. 1963? About 2 million. How many in 1973? About 2 million. How many in 1983? About 2 million,” he said, while adding that since 1953, the United States population has more than doubled, “so the number of civilian federal employees available to serve each of us has shrunk more than 1/2.”

europesays.com/2160065/ Is it safe to travel to Egypt? Your rights as Middle East conflict escalates between Israel and Iran #Conflicts #Israel


WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.


The power of the truth: "#Newsom was crystal clear in explaining that Trump's actions caused the violence. He also spoke the blunt truth about the president and the people around him. #Trump, he said, is a "stone cold liar." Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth is "a joke" and "everyone knows it." Republican Speaker of the House Mike #Johnson is also "a joke." Newsom seemed exhausted, but still fired up and done playing games. It's a good look."

Elon's Twitter breaks your brain.

And if it didn't break your brain, the right and their appeasers in "the middle" wouldn't be screaming about how bad Bluesky is.

It's time for everyone, especially reporters, to stop having their "news" fed to them by Elon's algorithm.

I think any journalist still using Twitter in any way is basically untrustworthy.

Trump’s second term is being documented without writing down the words..

The White House has pulled official transcripts, leaving future historians (and the public) in the dark.

Hach ja, wenn der #teufel Soundanlagen baut ....
... dann sind sie teuer und erstmal von guter Soundqualität, gehen dann aber gerne mal Kapput. So auch mit der Teufel Soundbar 11. Meine knistert vor sich hin ubd das Display ist defekt. Zum Glück nur für 15 Minuten. Und, zum Glück auch nur sehr preiswert gebraucht gekauft. Aber von einem #Markenhersteller erwartet man doch mehr, vor allem wenn der Fehler wohl Serienmäßig zu sein scheint - siehe

Bei meinem ANC-Kopfhörer von Teufel brach der Plastikbügel noch in der Garantiezeit kaputt, trotz sorgfältiger Behandlung. Den Klang fand ich persönlich auch nicht so überwältigend. Ich habe den guten Ruf der Firma nie wirklich verstanden.

@shred Kann, zum Glück, sagen, das die Lautsprecher bei mir echt seeehr Preiswert waren. Aber das ist auch allgemein ein riesen Problem: Teure Produkte sind teils schlechter als ihre Billigkonkurrenz. Nur das Prestige ....
