The Trump-Epstein statue is back on the National Mall, days after its abrupt removal


The statue honors Trump's "long-lasting bond" with Epstein, which the president denies. The National Park Service took down the statue after one day last week, saying it didn't comply with its permit.

IMO | Ich lach mich schlapp, das bedeutet das es den Cybertruck in Europa nie geben wird


Gerade habe ich bei heise diesen Artikel gelesen. Und wenn man schon dem US Militär den Import und Betrieb von Cybertrucks verbietet, werden diese Idiotenkisten auch niemals von Privatpersonen importiert oder betrieben werden können.

Get a load of this, landlords are demanding potential tenants hand over employer login credentials so a tool can verify their income. I was sent screenshot of the tool, Argyle, downloading much more data than necessary to approve the renter. Opt-out means no housing

The Mad King


September 28, 2025

Image/photo

The Mad King sent troops to Portland and ordered them to use maximum force. Well, statistically speaking, his chances of dying peacefully in bed are rapidly diminishing—authoritarian rulers statistically die in despair, hunt, in dirty pits, dangling from poles, shot or stabbed by friends and family.


Der neue Reaktionär - Curtis Yarvin und die Versuchung der smarten Tyrannei


Quelle: dlf.de

"Curtis Yarvin träumt vom Ende der Demokratie und einem amerikanischen Autokraten. Seine autoritären Ideen treffen den Nerv einer erschöpften Zeit und begeistern rechte Eliten wie Tech-Milliardär Peter Thiel oder US-Vizepräsident J.D. Vance."

"In den schattigen Zwischenzonen des Internets, wo Silicon-Valley-Idealismus auf postdemokratischen Zynismus trifft, hat sich ein Denker etabliert, der wie kaum ein anderer den Zeitgeist der rechten Intelligenzija prägt – Curtis Yarvin, dessen Karriere unter dem Pseudonym Mencius Moldbug begann."

#Harris would have gained at least another 3,565,000 votes, topping Trump’s official popular vote tally by 1.2 million.


Is this still #democracy?

"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.”

So funktioniert Lobby-Arbeit: Thiel und die Briten

Wer bisher dachte, über Peter Thiel sei bereits alles geschrieben, muss jetzt vielleicht neu denken. Die amerikanische Transparenz-NGO Distributed Denial of Secrets hat britische Papiere ausgegraben und sie dem Guardian zugespielt. Die bisher geheim gehaltenen Papiere enthüllen, dass Peter Thiel und Palantir die britische Regierung spätestens seit 2019 bearbeitet haben. Es gab mehrere Treffen zwischen Thiel, dem Palatir CEO Alex Karp und hohen Regierungsvertretern, damals noch Boris Johnson und sein Chefberater Dominic Cummings. Der Erfolg waren millionenschwere Aufträge, die teils ohne Ausschreibung an Palantir

"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.

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)
