For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

Fahren die @BVG_Bus 162, 164 zwischen Glienicker Weg und S #Adlershof? App sagt, dass es eine Umleitung gibt, aber auch bei jeder Verbindung, dass sie ausfällt auf dieser Strecke.

Oh god someone who doesn’t know chemistry or biochemistry This is a classic chemistry fallacy—pretending that a substance is either “good” or “bad” regardless of dose, form, and exposure. Toxicology doesn’t work that way. As Paracelsus said centuries ago: “The dose makes the poison.” Here’s the reality behind each of those comparisons: Mercury •Fish may contain methylmercury, a bioaccumulating neurotoxin that builds up in large predatory fish. •Vaccines historically contained ethylmercury (thimerosal), which is metabolized and cleared quickly and is not the same compound. •Today, most childhood vaccines contain no thimerosal at all. Formaldehyde •Used industrially in building materials at higher exposures. •Tiny amounts are used during vaccine manufacturing to inactivate toxins or viruses, and only trace residual amounts remain. •Your own metabolism produces far more formaldehyde naturally every day than any vaccine contains. Glyphosate •Agricultural herbicide. •Not present in vaccines. The comparison is simply false. Aluminum •Aluminum salts are used in some vaccines as adjuvants to improve immune response. •The amount is tiny and far below everyday exposure from food, water, and medications. MSG •Monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer in food. •Not used in vaccines. The key principle: People compare chemical names, not actual biology. Dose, chemistry, route of exposure, and metabolism determine risk. Or put more bluntly: Listing scary-sounding chemicals without context is not toxicology. It’s marketing.

This is the man who was too chickenshit to fight in Vietnam. His daddy got him out of it.

My fellow Americans, tonight I stand before you to report that under my leadership, measles is back like never before. Some people are saying they’ve never seen measles like this. They said measles was gone, folks. The experts, the so‑called experts, they said it was eliminated. But not on my watch. We brought it back, and we brought it back strong. We had sleepy measles, failing measles. Now we have winning measles. Very powerful numbers, incredible numbers, record numbers, quite frankly. They have known measles for many, many years; it’s not something new, believe me, but nobody has made measles respected again like we have. Some people call it a problem. I call it a tremendous opportunity. The fake news won’t tell you this, but measles is hot again. Measles is respected again. We did that.

Hallo @SBahnBerlin, könntet ihr Anzeigen+Durchsagen am Bahnhof #Adlershof überprüfen. Ist schon der 2. Tag, wo #S85 zum Flughafen einfährt und als #S46 nach KW angekündigt wurde. Die echte S46 danach wurde dann als S85 zum BER oder S46 nach Grünau bezeichnet

Ah. The “tiny toxins” speech. Let’s slow this down before the pitchforks come out. First: dose matters. Always. Botulinum toxin can kill you. It can also treat dystonia and migraines. Oxygen keeps you alive. Too much of it in a NICU can blind a premature infant. “Toxin” is not a moral category. It’s a dose-dependent property. Second: vaccines are safety-tested. Repeatedly. They go through phased trials. They’re tested against placebos when ethically appropriate. They’re tested against existing vaccines when a standard of care exists. Then they’re monitored in millions of recipients through pharmacovigilance systems that detect signals down to rare events. What anti-vaccine rhetoric does is this: Call an ingredient a “toxin.” Ignore dose. Ignore pharmacokinetics. Ignore decades of safety data. Demand a saline placebo even when withholding protection would be unethical. The aluminum salts used as adjuvants? Babies ingest more aluminum from breast milk and formula over months than they receive from vaccines — and injected aluminum is cleared over time. Formaldehyde? Your body produces more every day through normal metabolism than exists in a vaccine vial. This isn’t secret knowledge. It’s freshman biochemistry. And the phrase “we have no idea if it’s safe” is simply untrue. We have population-level data across decades. If these ingredients were driving systemic toxicity in infants at meaningful scale, pediatric wards would reflect it. They do not. The anti-vaccine movement survives by stripping context from chemistry and replacing risk assessment with emotional imagery: “toxins in babies.” It sounds protective. It feels righteous. It is scientifically unserious. Safety is not determined by whether a word sounds frightening. It is determined by dose, data, and outcomes.

The US spent 70 years building a country optimized for cars instead of people. This is what that looks like at full resolution. MetLife Stadium sits on 2.1 million square feet of parking. 28,000 spaces. The parking lots are larger than the stadium itself. The entire Meadowlands complex was purpose-built so that the only way a human being can reach it is inside a 4,000-pound metal box. The New Jersey State Police printed that sign because pedestrians were never part of the design. And here’s where it gets interesting: the 2026 World Cup Final is being played at this stadium in five months. FIFA’s biggest event on Earth, hosted at a venue where walking is literally illegal. International fans from countries where you stroll to the stadium from a pub three blocks away are about to encounter a place where the nearest hotel requires a car to travel a distance you can see with your eyes. The US has 700 million to 2 billion parking spaces. Eight parking spots for every car in the country. Parking lots cover more than 5% of all developed land, an area larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined. Minimum parking requirements forced every building, every stadium, every shopping center to dedicate more square footage to storing empty vehicles than to serving the humans inside. American cities didn’t accidentally become unwalkable. They were zoned that way. During the recent Club World Cup at MetLife, only 12.5% of fans used public transit to reach the stadium. The other 87.5% drove. Now imagine that ratio flipping for the World Cup, when the majority of attendees will be international visitors without cars. NJ Transit is spending $100 million to try to move 20,000 people per hour through a single transfer point at Secaucus Junction, a system that already had door malfunctions and 13-minute delays during games with 29,000 fans. Scale that to 82,500. The sign in this hotel lobby is American car culture in a single frame: we built the richest country on Earth, then made it illegal to walk across it.

@dcolascione I believe it is exactly to prevent you from easily mapping it to a sane key. Because if that was just a single scancode most people would remap and forget about it, but Microsoft *needs* people to use copilot even if just once and accidentally.

Lenovo has replaced the right control key on their otherwise-pretty-nice latest X1 Carbon (warranty replacement) with a copilot key. Fine. I won't begrudge some Microsoft PM "AI impact" in his self-review. But know what I do begrudge? The scancodes, plural. See, the copilot key is defined to emit not only a new scancode (0x6e), understood as F23 key (which archeologists believed wasn't a real key, but a legendary signifier of excess), but also left shift and left meta (Windows key). When you type the copilot key, the PC firmware sends the machine left-shift-down left-meta-down f23-down f23-up left-meta-up left-shift-up. That's a problem for remapping the copilot key back to right-control though. Even if we interpret 0x6e as right-control, we get a bunch of other modifiers we don't need along with, a press of copilot-r gets read as control-meta-shift-r, which is not what I want. Why did they do this? I have no idea. 0x6e by itself would have sufficed to identify the new key. All the other neokeys that seemed like good ideas at the time got normal scancodes. F23 would have been fine. The scancode 0x6e is so uncommon Linux had to be patched to recognize it. I'm determined to have a right control key, however, so now I run keyd to present a fake virtual keyboard to Wayland. Whenever it sees a left-shift-down or left-meta-down, it waits a few milliseconds to see whether an F23 has arrived. If it has, it synthesizes a right-control press. If it hasn't, it forwards the modifier presses. Now there's a whole new stage in the input processing pipeline, and extra input latency, that exists solely because AI is so special that it demands not only a new key, but for that ceremonial key to be carried on a litter of modifier bits as it parades into the OS and commands that inference happen now.

"There are no Amish with autism" There are "Vaccines aren't tested against placebo" They are "MMR has never been studied as a possible cause of autism" It has. It's not the cause. I apparently need to say this stuff over and over and over and over again. And again.

Shared today by Bev Perry in the Expand Dem Values in the House and Senate Facebook group. I need to say something that's been bothering me for a while, and I'm saying it as a Marine Corps veteran who leans center-right. This isn't partisan. This is observation. We've slow-faded into accepting militarized police as normal, and nobody seems to notice or care. Even as a USMC pilot, I went through six months of infantry training as an officer before flight school. I've worn the gear. The helmet, the tactical vest, the whole kit. And I can tell you from experience, it changes you. There's a psychological shift that happens when you strap that stuff on. You feel different. You carry yourself different. You start seeing the environment differently. In the Marine Corps, that shift was appropriate because it's a combat culture and organization. But these are American streets. American citizens. And we've got law enforcement dressed like they're kicking down doors in Fallujah to serve warrants in suburbia. What happend to high standards and real policing tactics? Think Adam-12...Officers Reed and Malloy. Crisp uniforms. A revolver. A baton. High standards and professionalism. They looked like public servants because they were public servants. They de-escalated. They talked to people. They were part of the community. Now? Tactical gear, beards, ball caps, Oakley sunglasses, sleeve tattoos, and a tactical kit that would make special operators jealous. And we've turned it into a fetish. We celebrate it. We assume that because someone looks hard, they must be a professional. They're not. I loved the Marine Corps. But I'll be honest, I was also blinded by it for a while. Mission first. Unit over everything. And that mentality made sense in that context. But law enforcement doesn't get that critical examination. "Back the Blue" has become a shield against accountability. A blanket assumption that a badge plus gun equals hero. That tactical gear equals competence. It doesn't. Most people who join law enforcement aren't special operators. They're average people who desperately want to belong to something bigger than themselves. I understand that impulse deeply, it's why I joined the Marines. But wanting to belong doesn't make you qualified. Looking the part doesn't mean you can perform under pressure. And wrapping yourself in warrior aesthetics doesn't make you a warrior. Old school law enforcement represented something. Standards. Bearing. Discipline. Professionalism that was demonstrated, not costumed. A revolver and a baton meant you had to rely on your training, your words, your judgment, not overwhelming firepower. What I see now in law enforcement is the costume without the culture. The gear without the training. The authority without the accountability. Are there good people in law enforcement? Of course. I know some personally. But this reflexive "law enforcement can do no wrong" mentality is lazy, dangerous, and intellectually dishonest. A woman is dead. And before we sort ourselves into teams and start assigning blame, maybe we should ask harder questions: Why do we accept a militarized police force as normal? Why do we assume tactical gear equals tactical competence? Why have we let "Back the Blue" become a substitute for actual standards? I wore the uniform. I went through the training. I know what that gear does to your head. It shouldn't be normalized on American streets against American citizens. And we shouldn't pretend everyone wearing it is qualified to carry it. The fact that he called her a “fucking bitch” after he shot her three times should be a huge red flag for all of us.

@fidexcode C64 Basic 🙈

In what language did you write your first "Hello world"?

@the_greg_potter @fidexcode for a while, I did 😄

@fidexcode Pascal (did anybody else even use it?)

@vomitbo @nerdLegend0 Wenn du magst, schau mal bei steno.effjot.net/category/stief… rein. Ich hab zwar länger nichts mehr neues geschrieben, aber ein bisschen Material ist dort. Und natürlich das Reddit reddit.com/r/shorthand

@nerdLegend0 Eine abgespeckte Version von Stenographie, also ein Schreibsystem was gemacht ist um schnell zu schreiben. Ich lerne grade Stiefografie und blicke auch auf die Variante Sitf Kurzschrift, welche nochmal einfacher ist. Es gibt für Android ne richtig gute App zum lernen - Stiefo

Mein dummer arsch lernt jetzt Kurzschrift

Stellt euch mal vor, euer Vater hätte gegen die Strafbarkeit von Vergewaltigung in der Ehe gestimmt.

@krub3r @Mick_clock er hatte ja auch schon empfohlen, auf wen man den Stein werfen sollte 😕

@Mick_clock Wer als Humanist nicht Menschen für das Recht auf den Besitz von Sturmgewehren opfern wollte, werfe den ersten Stein.

Ulf Poschardt findet mit Kirk ist ein „humanistischer Freiheitskämpfer“ gestorben, der noch bereit war mit der „radikalisierten linken“ zu sprechen. Ein Anschlag auf den „liberalen Westen“ Viele Kommentatoren profitieren wirklich massiv davon, dass niemand ihn hier kannte.

Gibt es einen tragischeren Job als den, Friseur von Friedrich Merz zu sein? 😇
