10 Expensive Infrastructure ā€œSolutionsā€ That Were Total Fails
Infrastructure projects are meant to improve lives, reduce congestion, and modernize cities, but sometimes, they backfire spectacularly. Whether due to poor planning, unintended consequences, or outright corruption, these projects exacerbated the very problems they were designed to fix. From flood barriers that made flooding worse to highways that increased traffic, here are 10 times infrastructure […]

10 Fictional Extinction Events
It’s always unfortunate when a species goes extinct. This tragedy usually happens over a prolonged period, but certain events wipe out a population simultaneously. Earth has seen several such events, which kill most life forms across the biological spectrum. These mass extinctions are as frightening as they are fascinating. For that reason, some storytellers fashion […]

We had a very sunny day, peaking at 19°C. This not only decoyed me out, but also plenty motorcycle terrorists. Eh fuckwits, nobody wants to listen to your bloody engine and exhaust noise, keep it quiet for fuck’s sake! Many of your rider collegues can manage it, too, so should you.

I had some sore muscles after yesterday’s waste paper collection with the scouts. So, I only went for a short trip to my closest backyard mountain. Watching two rock climbers was interesting. That’s not something I see very often.

** Job posting **
I don’t write about work here. Not really as a rule, but out of habit.

It is a Saturday, and this morning at around 1 AM the federal government here in the U.S. fired my entire team, and the whole group they worked out of, 18f. This means that the team I was on is now just me. I was the only one not from 18f.

Nothing about this will increase efficiency or help anyone, at all.

In-reply-to » I heard that congratulations to Germany are in order, is that right? If so, congratulations!

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net The outcome was to be expected but it’s still pretty catastrophic. Here’s an overview:

Image

East Germany is dominated by AfD. Bavaria is dominated by CSU (it’s always been that way, but this is still a conservative/right party). Black is CDU, the other conservative/right party.

The guy who’s probably going to be chancellor recently insulted the millions of people who did demonstrations for peace/anti-right. ā€œIdiotsā€, ā€œthey’re nutsā€, stuff like that. This was before the election. He already earned the nickname ā€œMini Trumpā€.

Both the right and the left got more votes this time, but the left only gained 3.87 percentage points while the right (CDU/CSU + AfD) gained 14.72:

Image

The Green party lost, SPD (ā€œmid-leftā€) lost massively (worst result in their history). FDP also lost. These three were the previous government.

This isn’t looking good at all, especially when you think about what’s going to happen in the next 4 years. What will CDU (the winner) do? Will they be able to ā€œturn the ship aroundā€? Highly unlikely. They are responsible for the current situation (in large parts). They will continue to do business as usual. They will do anything but help poor/ordinary people. This means that AfD will only get stronger over the next 4 years.

Our only hope would be to ban AfD altogether. So far, nobody but non-profit organizations is willing to do that (for unknown reasons).

I don’t even know if banning the AfD would help (but it’s probably our best/only option). AfD politicians are nothing but spiteful, hateful, angry, similar to Trump/MAGA. If you’ve seen these people talk and still vote for them, then you must be absolutely filled with rage and hatred. Very concerning.

Correct me if I’m wrong, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, @arne@uplegger.eu, @johanbove@johanbove.info.

Of all the feelings you can experience, love is the most coveted. Screenwriters seem to think so, at least, as many insert romances into virtually every story. If circumstances pair a male and female character together, the odds are that they’ll end up in love. This journey can, admittedly, be sweet, but it’s also predictable […]
