Böhmermann: Die Stasi als TV-Show? journalistenwatch.com/2025/05/… Das Netz ist mal wieder in hellster Aufregung, weil der zwangsfinanzierte Jan Böhmermann, von manchen Zeitgenossen auch „Clown aus der Unterwelt des ÖRR“ genannt, mal wieder das gemacht hat, was er am besten kann: hetzen, denunzieren und harmlose Bürger zum Abschuss frei zu geben – in der Hoffnung von seinen ebenfalls linken Kollegen so schnell […] #news #press

Ugh! HOW IS IT no one recognizes that T**** & #Putin operate out of the same playbook: delay, pretend you are complying but keep at it, then go back to what they were doing before once the "time out" ends. 🤦‍♂️

When the Courts say #DonTheCon must do something, he files endless appeals while he keeps right on doing the thing(s) he was told not too.

A "30 day ceasefire" is Putin's version of endless appeals. #Ukraine

It is frequently hilarious"

i always thought the straight ones were english and the curly ones french…
i mean when i set my text processor (libreoffice) to english it gives me straight ones, and when i set it to french it gives me curly ones.

So after JD Vance saying this conflict is none of our business Trump is now taking credit for a ceasefire


Unsurprisingly, humans are social animals, and our phones are a superstimulus that can trigger destructive behavior.

Ce que Bolloré fait au livre et aux éditeurs et aux auteurs.

Il serait intéressant d'avoir un site qui recense les éditeurs francophones et les "note" selon des critères éthiques, en donnant quelques informations sur les raisons d'une telle note.
Selon les titres que l'on recherche, on a parfois le choix entre différents éditeurs, sans forcément savoir ce qu'il y a derrière. De plus, les petits éditeurs passent souvent sous les radars.

“No one wants to work anymore” is a hell of a thing to say while actively destroying the climate, crushing wages, and automating every job that pays a living wage.
in reply to JA Westenberg

and why would there even need to be a living "wage"? I have no problem with the principle of automating away menial drudge jobs. Automating away the "grunt" work. Great. Bring it on. But then we need to change our society to accept that people will work exclusively for their own satisfaction, and that nobody should have to work to simply afford to live. A person's worth needs to be decoupled from "what they do", and what they do should not be "for a living".
in reply to JA Westenberg

In William Morris's Utopian fantasy, News From Nowhere, noone had to work, work was done for the satisfaction, and necessary manual work was revered and done for the good of all. I know, it is a Utopian fantasy. At this point in time I think fantasy is all we've got to hold on to.
