Nach Böhmermann-Affäre: Schönbohm legt ZDF-Intendant Himmler Rücktritt nahe


Auf der Nachrichtenplattform Mastodon hatte Böhmermann die Entscheidung des Landgerichts München mit den Worten kommentiert, die „Recherche“ seines Magazins stehe, alle Fakten stimmten, „unsere Meinung zur mangelnden Eignung als BSI-Präsident bleibt unverändert und ist gut begründet“. Zwei Formulierungen habe das Gericht als „unzulässig mehrdeutig“ bewertet (zwei weitere stammten vom ZDF). Schönbohms Schadenersatzansprüche seien zurückgewiesen worde, er trage einen Großteil der Gerichtskosten. „Alles andere ist Schaum bzw. Quatsch bzw. Clickbait.“

Das ZDF betonte, die Einschätzung, „die Cybersicherheit in Deutschland ist in Gefahr, und zwar durch den Chef der Cybersicherheit in Deutschland“, sei als zulässige Meinungsäußerung bewertet worden. In der Sendung seien bewusste Kontakte Schönbohms zur russischen Diensten „gar nicht – weder direkt noch indirekt – behauptet worden“.

Tatsächlich hat die 26. Zivilkammer am Landgericht München dem ZDF und Böhmermann vier Äußerungen untersagt, die dem früheren BSI-Chef Schönbohm, - unbewusste oder fahrlässige - Kontakte zu russischen Nachrichtendiensten unterstellten (Az. 26 O 12612/23). Diesen Eindruck rief das „ZDF Magazin Royale“ auch durch geschickte Weglassungen hervor. So war Schönbohm aus dem „Cyber-Sicherheitsrats Deutschland e. V.“, in dem eine im ZDF als russlandkontaminiert bezeichnete Firma Mitglied war, vier Jahre vorher ausgetreten, bevor das besagte Unternehmen dort Mitglied wurde. Eine Rede auf einer Jubiläumsfeier des „Cyber-Sicherheitsrats Deutschland“ hatte Schönbohm erst gehalten, nachdem ihm das Bundesinnenministerium diese ausdrücklich genehmigt hatte. Die Bundesinnenministerin Nancy Faeser (SPD) berief Schönbohm gleichwohl kurz nach der Böhmermann-Show von seinem Posten ab.

Was Böhmermann, dessen Sendungen wiederholt vor Gericht landen, dem ZDF wert ist, hatte die „Welt am Sonntag“ im September des vergangenen Jahres herausgefunden: Der Sender habe mit dem Komiker einen mit jährlich 651.000 Euro plus Mehrwertsteuer dotierten Vertrag abgeschlossen. Bis 2025 solle die Summe auf 713.000 Euro pro Jahr steigen

Das Landgericht München habe nun klargestellt, sagte Arne Schönbohm nach der Verhandlung am vergangenen Donnerstag, dass das ZDF „falsche Tatsachen“ verbreitet habe. Die „mediale Hinrichtung“ habe für ihn und seine Familie massive Folgen gehabt. Seine Kinder seien auf der Straße gefragt worden, ob ihr Vater ein russischer Spion sei. Und er habe Morddrohungen erhalten.

Die Gerichtsentscheidung ist noch nicht rechtskräftig.

Folks, you don’t need URL shorteners here like buff•ly, bit•ly, etc.

In fact, I am *far* less likely to click a link using a shortener. It’s a signal that you are tracking clicks, that the content is just marketing chaff.

Share it because you see value, not for the engagement farming.

History time! Gather around, kids. Back in the late ‘90s, SEGA had a wild idea: “Let’s do PC games!” Enter SegaSoft, their short-lived PC-specific label – an attempt to convince PC gamers that SEGA wasn’t just about blue hedgehogs and arcade cabinets. Among their releases was Flesh Feast for Windows 95.

Now, you’re probably thinking, “Oh cool, a zombie survival horror game like Resident Evil?!” Well, not exactly. SEGA said, “Let’s take survival horror and mash it up with real-time tactics… kind of.” In practice, this is a zombie apocalypse where you’re managing a squad and wrestling with a control scheme so clunky, it feels like a mini-boss.

Here’s the setup: you control one main character directly via arrow keys (because WASD was apparently too futuristic), while issuing orders to “helpers” in strategic mode. Switching modes requires slamming the <Enter> key. Sound intuitive? Well, it’s not.

The controls are so convoluted they make your keyboard feel like a Sudoku puzzle. By contrast, RTT games like Myth and Commandos knew what was up: point, click, done. Meanwhile, Flesh Feast asks you to juggle two control scheme like a circus act.

That said, it’s not all bad! Scavenging for gear and unloading a satisfying barrage of bullets into a horde of zombies? Catharsis incarnate. The big maps are a joy to explore – airports, graveyards, you name it.

The graphics? Pure low-poly, 1998 jank. Back then, we called it “3D” with reverence, but today it’s more “3D, and we really need the quotation marks”. As for the pre-rendered cutscenes, they’re campy, over-the-top nonsense – a good laugh.

The sound is… well, let’s just say it’s unique.There’s no music, so it’s eerily quiet, except for the zombies. And when you beat them up, they sound oddly… pleased. Like, disturbingly pleased. They’re practically begging for whips and chains.

Ingames Interactive developed this game, then promptly vanished into the void like a one-hit-wonder band that didn’t even score a hit.

Generally, I love SEGA. I really do. But Flesh Feast? Can’t recommend it. The game has its moments of fun, sure, but those controls? They’ll haunt you more than the zombies. Flesh Feast is an amusing little relic, but it’s just not worth playing. This one should stay in the past.
Flesh Feast for Windows 95

You don’t know pain until you try running an old, obscure Windows 9x game on modern Windows.

Linux is better for this, but even then, it’s a crapshoot.

And running it on my actual Windows 98 rig? Good, but anything that requires more than a Pentium MMX 233Mhz ain’t happening.

I wonder if I should invest in a WinXP laptop because I sure as hell don’t want another tower.

@jberg No, it has to be the PC version. 😆

Keith the Human rights lawyer! Wants to waste taxpayers hard earned cash (no it's not grifting or donors!) just hard graft!

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said if offenders could not be monitored in the community electronically, they would be returned to prison even if it was no fault of their own.

"We know this is cruel, and totally unnecessary. We know there are alternatives to the tag," her supporters said in a statement.

"Gaie is absolutely no threat to the community.

"This recall to prison is a ridiculous waste of resources and money, and will cost the taxpayer £12,000 to keep Gaie in prison.

Say thanks to Keith! OH! Not sure if he does Christmas just like Scrooge!

Justiz-Skandal in der Türkei: IS-Terroristen nach Terroranschlag in Istanbul freigelassen


Es war eines der schlimmsten Massaker im Vorfeld des Putschversuchs am 15. Juli 2016 in der Türkei. Am 26. Juni desselben Jahres hatten mehrere bewaffnete Mitglieder der Terrormiliz IS den Atatürk-Flughafen in Istanbul gestürmt und dabei ein Blutbad angerichtet. 45 Menschen wurden dabei ermordet und 239 weitere verletzt. Das oberste türkische Berufungsgericht hat am 12. Dezember allerdings die Freilassung von 6 Männern angeordnet, die in diesem Zusammenhang zu 46-facher lebenslanger Haft verurteilt wurden, meldet NOW HABER.
[...]
Dagegen ist die Empörung besonders in der Opposition groß, die fürchtet, dass die freigelassenen Männer sich nach Syrien absetzen. Der Abgeordnete Murat Emir (CHP) hat die Entlassung der Männer bei seiner Rede im Parlament angesprochen. „Wir sind durch den Bericht erschüttert“, sagt Emir dabei. Die IS-Terroristen seien entlassen worden. „Wenn das stimmt, ist das ein Justiz-Skandal“.

Das Ganze erinnert an die Entlassung von verurteilten Mitgliedern der Terrororganisation Türkische Hisbollah unter der Erdogan-Regierung, die ebenfalls zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt waren. 273 von ihnen seien zwischen 2018 und 2021 entlassen worden, schrieb die türkische Zeitung Sözcü. Darauf hatte die Hüd Par, der politische Arm der Türkischen Hisbollah gedrängt. Als Gegenleistung sei Recep Tayyip Erdogan bei den Wahlen als Präsidentschaftskandidat unterstützt worden. (erpe)

I met an activist who told me that she looks at the news every morning and sometimes can't do anything else with her day.

Obviously, I don't want to tell someone who is obviously suffering that they're doing things wrong, but friends, I can tell you that this is not an ideal way to live.

You, an activist, don't need to know every detail, every morning. You can go for a rough outline. You can fill in the details less often. You and some comrades can divide up news duty, so one of you does the reading and passes the must-know stuff to the other.

Making yourself miserable does not help your cause. It often reduces effectiveness. There is no liberation project that requires your misery. Love your comrades but also look out for yourself.

Odeith’s Background and Style


Odeith began his graffiti career in the 1980s, honing his skills on the streets of Lisbon. Over the years, he has refined his technique and developed his signature style, characterized by bold colors, intricate details, and mind-bending optical illusions (read more about him later in this post).
7829802

The Art of Creating 3D Graffiti


Odeith’s 3D graffiti art is a perfect blend of skill, perspective, and creativity. By employing anamorphic techniques and masterful shading, he transforms ordinary walls and objects into realistic three-dimensional scenes that appear to leap off the surface.
7829804

Odeith’s Signature Subject Matter


Odeith is known for tackling a wide range of subject matter in his work, from animals and insects to urban landscapes and fantastical creatures. His pieces often feature a sense of movement and depth, drawing viewers into his vivid, illusionary world.
7829806

Exploring Odeith’s Most Astonishing Works


Among Odeith’s most remarkable pieces are his larger-than-life murals of animals, including a majestic lion, a menacing crocodile, and an otherworldly praying mantis. These works not only showcase his technical prowess but also highlight his ability to breathe life into his subjects.

Odeith’s Impact on the Street Art Scene


Odeith’s innovative 3D graffiti art has earned him a reputation as one of the most talented and influential artists in the street art world. His work has inspired countless other artists and raised the bar for what is possible with spray paint and a blank canvas.
78298127829814

Odeith’s Background and Style: A Deeper Dive


Born in Damaia, Portugal, in 1976, Sérgio ‘Odeith’ first picked up a spray can in the mid-1980s, painting signatures and doodles on his neighborhood walls. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that he encountered graffiti artists in Carcavelos, where the movement was gaining momentum. This sparked a passion for graffiti that led him to paint illegally on street walls and railway lines in and around Lisbon.
78298167829818
Odeith’s impressive evolution as an artist is due in part to his dedication to painting large-scale murals in various neighborhoods throughout Damaia, Carcavelos, and Amadora. Although he dropped out of school at the age of 15 and never received any formal art training, Odeith’s talent for drawing and his relentless self-taught approach to his craft led him to become the renowned artist he is today.
78298207829822
In 2003, Odeith adopted his current moniker, and by 2005, his innovative use of the anamorphosis technique began garnering international recognition. This “Somber 3D” style, as he later called it, involves painting on 90-degree corners or flat walls to create authentic, large-scale compositions of insects or objects that give a striking 3D optical illusion effect. Many of these works, painted in abandoned spaces, quickly went viral due to their realism and technique.
78298247829826
Odeith briefly lived in London after closing his tattoo shop in 2008, but he has since returned to Lisbon, where he now focuses exclusively on studio work and walls. Despite his lack of formal training, Odeith has become a pioneering force in the world of street art, with his dark anamorphic style and passion for the craft setting him apart from other artists.

Last night was the longest night of the year in Greece, so #Helios had his shortest work day.

"At the winter solstice, the sun would seem to be a little child like that which the Egyptians bring forth from a shrine on the appointed day, since the day is then at its shortest and the god is accordingly shown as a tiny infant."
Macrobius, #Saturnalia

🏛️ Helios, Antalya Museum

"What we need is regime change throughout the Middle East", said Netanyahu in 2002. He listed 7 countries: Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan & Lebanon.

They are the 7 countries the U.S. continues to meddle with:

"Systematically, the US has done Netanyahu's bidding for almost 30 years, going to war with every one of them except for the big one that Netanyahu so much longs for."

Yes indeed.... though the term "just" entails decades of pathologically symbiotic interests & consequent atrocities. All those American invasions, millions of deaths, irretrievable destruction... power for power's sake. 😫

relegar las humanidades no significa relegar el pensamiento, sino relegar conocimiento. Lo que se debería hacer es directamente no diferenciar entre letras y ciencias. De ese modo sería sencillísimo llegado el caso de ir a estudios superiores ir a la carrera que quieras o cambiarte cuando y como quieras. Y de no ir, llevarte conocimiento en la mochila.

Welche Wanderrucksäcke könnt ihr empfehlen? ⛰️🏔️

Der Rucksack soll auch als Notfallrucksack dienen können, in welchem stets alles drin ist, falls man plötzlich evakuiert werden muss.

Ein Erste-Hilfe Set habe ich ausnahmslos dabei sobald es in die Natur geht. Aber am besten Gedanken machen was man individuell benötigt und dann selber zusammenstellen. Auch an etwas denken mit dem man sich bemerkbar machen kann wie zum Beispiel eine Pfeife (an einigen Rucksäcken sogar am Brustgurt verbaut) und hin und wieder mal einen Erste-Hilfe Kurs besuchen😉

Ja die Pfeife kann sehr wichtig sein alleine schon wenn kein Mobilfunk vorhanden ist oder zum Beispiel das Gerät nach einem Sturz defekt ist.

I’ve read or listened to 54 books this year, the vast majority fiction. Some of them were absolutely cracking. I also started any number of bad or just plain boring books that I didn’t finish. I’ll do a little end of year roundup after Christmas if anyone’s looking for recommendations #Bookstodon

I think I've only read 5 this year. I have one I started when my husband had his eye surgery. I haven't picked it back up. I've been too busy with holidays etc.

State of the debate: Media network RND has published some statistics on the 303 leading political talk shows that were on public TV in Germany in 2024.

The deep environmental crisis was very rarely discussed: party politics and the government 185 times, the economy 47 times, climate and the environment only 5 times.
