Was über den Angriff auf Iran bekannt ist


Yesterday I got my annual pass for the National Parks.

The person handed it to me to sign the back and I just put it in my wallet without looking at it.

It's when I took it out to enter the park that I felt like throwing up in the car.

It's just like the Kennedy center, the ballroom, the Nobel prize...

The guy plasters himself on everything he destroys.

Pathetic piece of shit.

Picture of the front of the annual pass for the American National Park.
On the bottom left there's America 250 but more than half the front is with a picture with the portrait of Washington and a horrible picture of Trump looking ominous with dramatic light on his face wanting to look all tough.
Above there's the text America the beautiful. The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass.


Somewhere in the USA. High above the city, this abandoned penthouse cinema spans the top two floors of a narrow 10-storey building. This #ArtDeco era theatre started life as a vaudeville venue but appears to have fallen out of use when other theatres switched to movies.

In the early 1960s it came back into use, showing foreign and art-house films. Within a decade the cinema would close for good.

The image shows a theater interior, in a ruined state, featuring decaying architecture and tattered remnants. An abandoned theater shows rows of seats facing a stage covered in debris. The structure's age and disrepair is apparent throughout, with peeling paint and damaged architecture.

"The Education Department said Wednesday that it is partnering with conservative organizations to present educational programming."

"Several organizations commented on “restoring” or “bringing back” American values and patriotism, echoing rhetoric from Trump: “Turning Point USA is more resolved than ever to advance God-centered, virtuous education for students flourishing across our nation.”

"Another tough pill to swallow? Violence works. For them.
Fascists use violence while claiming to be victims.
They create chaos that “requires” their authoritarian solution. Then they purge anyone who opposes them.
Meanwhile, democrats keep insisting on following rules that fascists completely ignore. They file lawsuits. They write editorials. They vote on resolutions.
And fascists just laugh and keep consolidating power."

I need to wrap my head around the fact that private donors, sports' sponsors and students paying tens of thousands of dollars a year is not enough for universities to be financially sound.

I'd really like to see audits of these universities.
Somehow I don't think teachers' pay is the biggest expense.

"Ultimately, some brands may be forced to "redefine value beyond just ultra-low prices," the WSJ suggested."

When I see the absolute crap and mostly useless products Americans buy, especially with fast fashion, I tend to hope this move will put a dent in America hyper-consumerism culture.

But I also see how it will put some small business in deep trouble.

And car makers know they're polluting the planet.
And health insurance know they're killing people.
And cigarette/pesticide/plastic/teflon companies know they're selling highly cancerous products...

The only "conspiracy" in this world is capitalism ready to kill people for money.

For Trumpsters who think only fraudsters will loose healthcare.

"Because of a statutory requirement to automatically impose budget cuts when legislation increases the deficit, the Big Beautiful Bill would require automatic cuts across the board."

"Medicare is one of the programs that will face the axe, starting in the next fiscal year that begins in October."

📣 The number of followers of German scientific institutions in the #Fediverse surpassed the 160k mark 💥 last weekend, see
👉 https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/?liste=institute-de

Yes, it's true: we shouldn't get caught up in this nonsensical discussion about #reach in the Fediverse.
On the other hand, it’s a great success 🏆 for initiatives such as #Unis4Mastodon, #Byebyeelon, #WissXit, #SaveSocial, @helloQuitX and others that more than 150 research institutions in Germany are contributing to the expansion of the Fediverse.

To our friends in the #USA, we say that we are alarmed at how the new #USpolicy is attacking #science. We are trying to build decentralized and independent #socialnetworks to make our research institutions and democracy resilient to attacks from #autocrats and #hostilitytoscience.
And we think this transformation should happen in other countries, too, to strengthen #democracy.

Isnt this illustration saying a lot....

I like how on https://tromnews.com/illustrations/ you can see this world represented with illustrations rather than words. And they say a lot.

DNA testing site 23andMe files for bankruptcy protection - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9q4r9xy9wro

Of course...a bullshit company, like most companies, providing nothing useful for the people and now even putting their personal information (and DNA) at risk. Because you know, other company may buy it and who knows what it does with the data. I have been saying that since the beginning when everyone was so excited about this useless company.

To read the DNA for useful purposes should be the job of entities that do not make a business out of it, but take care of people´s health. This nonsense of "see where you ancestors are from" "see if you are fucking irish or a goblin", is so useless even if accurate, which may not even be.

Anyway, another story of nonsense companies that make people give them their data to then fuck up this information for everyone.

So remember folks, support huge EU corporations like this German one instead of US ones because our European Values™ are… oh…

“What Europe needs is something like DOGE.” – Tim Höttges, CEO, Deutsche Telekom AG (also, an asshole)

To meet people who think Putin and what he does in Ukraine is ok, or to say that Trump is a good choice for the USA, is quite a shocking experience. Almost like seeing Bigfoot. It is one thing to hear about it, another thing to see it.

It is astonishing to me how some people can be so idiotic and brainwashed. Unbelievable.

Had any of you read the Haugen/Facebook papers, you’d know:

Meta enabled #genocide, boosted polarising misinformation, created shadow profiles of their users, exploited their algorithms so much that it caused mental health issues in young teenagers (there are lawsuits!), sold out women who had abortions to the #police in #USA, did the Cambridge analytica thing, sold user data to thousands of data firms, and more, much more — if you think this corporation has your best interests in mind, idk.


Like Putin-"UP IN SMOKE"

Dramatic first pic shows Putin’s prized supersonic nuke bomber completely DESTROYED by ONE Ukrainian kamikaze drone

His military in tatters after 270,000 Russian dead in Ukraine, his economy gasping for air as the the ruble falls against the mighty dollar, Putin is ignoring the obvious - "IT'S TIME TO LEAVE UKRAINE!"

On this 4th of July, I think it’s important to recall that George Washington once tried to kidnap a baby into slavery and Thomas Jefferson was a serial rapist of his wife’s sister, whom he owned as a slave.
