Da fliehen über 300.000 (!) Menschen in Europa vor Feuern, 10.000 sterben im Juni zusätzlich wegen der Hitze, jetzt steht die 3. Hitzewelle innerhalb weniger Wochen an und trotzdem bleibt die Klimakrise Nischenthema. Faszinierend.

I genuinely hate the push to make smoking a thing again. I have watched so many drawn out, ugly, painful deaths from smoking. It makes everything disgusting. It enslaves us to the worst kinds of corporations. There’s ZERO positive here.

Der Terrorangriff auf den CSD wird als „Angriff auf unsere freie Gesellschaft“ bezeichnet. Gleichzeitig werden Schutz- und Fördermaßnahmen für queere Menschen zurückgefahren. Freiheit scheint für manche nur dann ein hohes Gut zu sein, wenn sie sich gut zitieren lässt.

Please stop watching @the-dodo.bsky.social videos. They take advantage of animal rescue stories, make shitloads of money from them and then never donate a penny? Fuck you. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/Da2--mK...

You might be thinking 🤔 Whoa?! What?! Wait, I thought The Dodo was one of the good guys.Buckle up. Because the only thing The Dodo is good at is exploiting the stories of animals in crisis for a huge amount of money in the media business. They profit off sad animal stories, prey on your emotions, and cash in every single like, view, share, and follow you have ever given them.In June 2026 Penske Media Corporation bought The Dodo through its PMX subsidiary, who also owns Variety, Rolling Stone, and Billboard. Before that their parent company was Group Nine, which was valued at around $1 billion in 2019. Before any merger, Group Nine was pulling in around $200 million a year across its portfolio of brands. In 2022 Group Nine merged with Vox Media and the combined business was projected to bring in over $700 million in revenue and $100 million in profit in a single year.Across all three parent companies and The Dodo seperately, I could not find a single disclosed giving program, foundation, or CSR report. Not for Group Nine, Vox Media, Penske, and not for The Dodo. If one exists, show me and I will correct this publicly.They did find a way to make even more money from animals and the people who love them though. Petplan was a pet insurance company acquired by private equity firm Warburg Pincus in 2019. In October 2020, Group Nine took a minority equity stake in Petplan and struck a trademark licensing deal, rebranding it as “Fetch by The Dodo” in exchange for royalties and equity in the business. They got paid to put their name on something and that money keeps flowing in with the royalties.The ONLY case of giving I could find from The Dodo itself was in the fall of 2019, when they partnered with Sock Club on an endangered species sock collection. Per Sock Club, a percentage of profits went to organizations helping those species. The percentage, the recipients, and the total were never disclosed. Compare that to how they treat everything else they profit from, every video optimized, re-cut, and re-shared for years to maximize views. If this had meant something to them, they would have done the same. They didn’t.👇👇👇👇👇Continues in the CommentsView all 1,819 comments

Re: „Es ist kein Geld mehr da. Wir müssen dringend reformieren und sparen.“ Eine kurze Wutrede! Der Bundeshaushalt 2027 ist der größte in der deutschen Geschichte. Nur: das Geld wird nicht für Krankenhäuser, Klimapolitik und sozial Schwächere ausgegeben, sondern für Waffen.
