„Menschen, die gar nichts mit dem ÖPNV am Hut haben, sollen zur Kasse gebeten werden“

Baden-Württembergs grün-schwarze Regierung will für den Klimaschutz die Nutzung öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel forcieren: Kreise und manche Städte können eine „Mobilitätsabgabe“ erheben – wenn sie wollen, nur von Autofahrern. Die Kritik reicht von „Zwangsabgabe“ bis zum „zahnlosen grünen Bettvorleger“.

Gibt es eigentlich eine Karte wo man sehen kann wo (in Mitteleuropa) man seinen Lebensabend verbringen kann ohne Gefahr zu laufen dass es einem das Haus wegspült? Berge ist doof, wegen Unwettern, Küste wegen Meeresspiegel.

This is pure cartel behavior: Reddit and Google have cut a deal that will freeze out all other search engines from indexing Reddit, where volunteers do essentially all the work.

This should not be legal.

It is VITAL to replace Reddit, and it will take a global village to do it. If we don't, the cartel wins.

And Google should be broken up by Congress, if the antitrust people won't try.

So, in case you weren't already doing all you can to support Democrats because you support Democracy, last night Trump told American Christians that if they all would vote for him in 2024 just this time they'll never have to vote again because he'll "fix it" so that they don't have to bother doing that again.

You may think that would harm his election chances in the world's oldest democracy, but that means you're unaware that the NY Times and WaPo entirely ignored that statement.

So gross. I'm glad #JDVance is dragging #Trump down in the polls (or poles, if you’re using TrumpSpeak). Combine that with the flood of support for #Harris which will continue to shift early polling in her favor and out of his, that we might just see a statistical landslide in November. More peeps need to see and hear what these people are saying out loud, the lies they are telling, and more importantly, the truths they are telling. #politics https://boingboing.net/2024/07/26/audio-of-jd-vance-being-racist-and-attacking-womens-rights.html

Captioning in a Portlandia sketch about a hipster boutique hotel said “bad costumer service” and, like, what even is the joke anymore

Ich hab echt keine Worte mehr für das unfassbare Versagen der US Leitmedien. Hier wie die #NYT über Trumps glasklar zu verstehende Ankündigung, Wahlen abzuschaffen, berichtet.
Und für diesen Entschuldigungs- bullshit haben sie fast 24 Std gebraucht🥴. Und die Nicht-Antwort von Trumps Sprecher geht offenbar OK. 🙄

TIL that before he was famous Hugh Jackman made money performing as a clown for childrens' birthday parties. Jackman wasn't a good clown, and recalled being heckled by a six-year-old for not knowing any magic tricks.

"26 mei 2024
This was a heartbreaking decision but one I had to make. I wish my agent and the folks at 33 and West the best, but I can’t be a part of this. As Whitesnake once sang, “here I go again on my own.”
Thank you to those who come to shows; I hope there are enough shows to come to in the future. I guess we will find out together.
Did I make the right decision?"

“Mister Lipwig, the world lives between those who say it cannot be done and those who say that it can. And in my experience, those who say that it can be done are usually telling the truth. It's just a matter of thinking creatively.”

As the 2024 Olympic Games commence, a number of new AI tools – covering things like game optimization, talent detection and “reduction of human bias” – are getting ready to be tested at a Games for the very first time.

@Mashable speaks to the companies behind the technology and considers the impact these tools will have on the competition, the athletes and the fan experience — whether attending or watching from home. Here’s more.

If this isn’t clear, despite my enthusiasm for future President Harris, I don’t believe it is fair to ask Palestinian Americans to support anyone even partially responsible for the deaths of their families. Any administration wanting to make amends should listen to them.

Keine Überraschung und keine Neuigkeit, aber jetzt berichtet auch der Spiegel darüber und belegt: AfD und BSW, #Weidel und #Wagenknecht, werden unterstützt von Troll-Armeen aus Russland, also unzähligen Bots, die Putin-Propaganda in Deutschland verbreiten. #PIRATEN

It’s worth devoting some attention to how the press did Trump’s work for him by portraying the aspiring authoritarian exactly how he wants to be seen — as a heroic strongman and newfound champion of political unity.

Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination for a third time on July 17 with a rambling, incoherent mess of a speech that offered a terrifying vision for America during its rare moments of coherence.

His performance was widely regarded as a disaster. But a range of major newspapers didn’t cover it that way.

More than a few headlines actually raved about it.

🔹The Boston Globe: “In a departure, Trump calls for unity, healing in America.”
🔹The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “Trump urges unity after assassination attempt while proposing sweeping populist agenda.”
🔹Baltimore Sun: “Subdued Trump describes assassination try, accepts nomination.”

As media critic Parker Molloy pointed out, these papers seemingly reported on Trump’s speech based on the prepared remarks, not the speech as he actually delivered it.

Trump will never pivot to unity because his whole brand is divisiveness

Not long after Trump’s attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally on July 13, mainstream outlets went along with the Trump campaign’s narrative:
The shocking event had changed him for the better.

When Trump made his first appearance at the RNC on July 15,
🔹the New York Times described him as “subdued” and claimed he showed a “glimpse of vulnerability.”

But Trump had already demonstrated he was unchanged earlier that day when he posted on Truth Social that
his idea of “Uniting our Nation” was the
dismissal of all criminal charges against him.

Republican: You're just voting for her because she's a Black woman.

Answer: Sure, everyone's excited to vote for the first woman president, but that's not why we're voting for her. We're voting for her because she's not a traitor, rapist, nor felon.

Today I'm hanging with this old lady while her family is out of town visiting their family. I'm sure she's been very grateful to have the peace and quiet while the toddler twins and their first grade big brother are not around.

"Michael C. Hall stepped into Variety's video studio at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 yesterday to discuss the upcoming prequel Dexter: Original Sin and the surprising sequel Dexter: Resurrection.
"We just felt like there was more to explore. I think we've all been really amazed at how fertile the soil of 'Dexter' remains," Hall shared."

Yeah, you don't say?

You know, maybe like having Dexter's previous team at Miami Metro finally find out that he's the BHB and then seemingly KILL him at the end of New Blood?

Yeah, yeah I'm glad they decided that was a piss poor ending lol
