In 1983, I mocked Total Eclipse of the Heart because there's a Lot of melodrama. Teenagers can be melodrama-adverse & mocking. My friend said, "Is nothing sacred to you?!" That comment's why I remember this. But for 10 yrs, when I hear it, I sing along. Better late than never. Rest in peace Bonnie.

Bonnie Tyler, the Welsh singer whose iconic raspy voice turned tracks like “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding Out for a Hero” into some of the biggest songs of the ‘80s, has died. She was 75.

i saw "independence day" in the theater in 1996, and friends, i will never forget the way the entire audience literally and ecstatically CHEERED when the dog escaped from the explosion. that dog could have won an election for president with like 95% of the vote in july, 1996.

These beautifully crafted balls, dating to around 1500 BC (18th Dynasty), were made from linen and decorated with vibrant red, blue, and green reed strips. They were likely used not only for play but also in rituals and acrobatic performances. On display at Museum August Kestner 📷 me

I can understand journalists who check X to see what public figures are posting. I can't understand journalists who chit chat on the fascist site for fascists like it's a place decent people should show their faces.

Friends don't let friends use xTwitter. The journalists will say they are there because news is made there. However, If there were no journalists there, those trying to make news wouldn't be there, either.

die meisten menschen haben keine ahnung, wie viel politische arbeit von parteien, ngos, journalist*innen und expert*innen von @fragdenstaat.de und damit vom informationsfreiheitsgesetz abhängt. das ifg ist kritische infrastruktur der demokratischen gesellschaft. fällt es, gibt's kein halten mehr.

Der größte Angriff auf die Transparenz in der Geschichte der Bundesregierung: Union & SPD wollen die Informationsfreiheit abschaffen. Sie schotten Politik und Verwaltung von der Öffentlichkeit ab und schaffen ein Gesetz, das Korruption und Intransparenz begünstigt. fragdenstaat.de/artikel/poli...

In Baden-Württemberg hält die nunmehr schwarz-grüne Koalition bislang am Unionsplan fest, dass die Daten von Transsexuellen zur „Gefahrenabwehr“ erfasst werden. Die AfD fordert eine Erfassung aller Homosexuellen, Nonbinären, Queeren, nicht Heterosexuellen. Was soll schon schiefgehen? In Deutschland?
