Symptomatisch für Deutschland heute. Mittelmaß aber einen Prämienanspruch! Wenn man den Ball nur von links nach Rechts passen kann, wird man kein Spiel gewinnen. Kimmich in der Mite ist da eher ein Problem als eine Lösung.

No shortage of spending in these areas. There are plenty of more affluent areas that don't have such a playground. It's not lack of spending that's the problem.

Meta can ban: - Adverts for a Virginia Woolf play because of “feminism” - Ads for a documentary about Elon Musk. Meta seemingly cannot ban: - Generative AI Child Abuse and Child Sexual Abuse Material, adverts and content.

NEW: In one of the most horrifying stories I've ever reported, I found that Facebook is hosting huge quantities of AI-generated videos of violent child abuse -- kids being beaten, burned, and far more But the genuinely shocking thing was how little Meta seems to care futurism.com/artificial-i...

It's turning into a bigger farce all the time. You either play or don't. If you don't then let's see if that's the decision in other cases down the line (we know it wasn't previously). If you play make a statement on the pitch by beating Israel but I get the sense the players don't back themselves.

Defender Jimmy Dunne has been listed among the goalkeepers on the Republic of Ireland squad for today's Nations League match against Israel. The change comes after Gavin Bazunu's decision to withdraw from the group ahead of today's fixture in Debrecen, Hungary jrnl.ie/7174898

It is quite clear that Sinn Fein is no longer happy with the GFA. 30 years on it didn't deliver a United Ireland that the hard men were promised. You can see the leadership getting increasingly hysterical.

Don’t be at all surprised if Stormont collapses one way or another this week – SF because the present-day structures don’t serve the interest of nationalists; DUP because the First Minister participated in an unlawful protest gathering – and for another stalemate that last for *years*.

Life under occupation is just another death But sure, don't worry about actually liberating Ukraine - a ceasefire along the frontline will be just fine

Incredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ich finde das überraschende Treffen von Außenminister Wadephul mit dem Berufsfaschisten richtig, immerhin soll der Oberfaschist auf Einladung des Semifaschisten nach Miami zum G20-Treffen kommen. Doch warum geht Wadephul in die russischen Amtsräume mit dem Porträt des Massenmörders?

Just reading through Lavrov’s recent speech to ambassadors and I am gonna leave this tidbit here for those who follow me on neutrality.

The Danish Defence Intelligence Service said on Thursday that there was a 'low but growing risk' that Russia could move a small number of troops, possibly without insignia, into a neighbouring country or use long-range weapons on infrastructure used to support Ukraine ft.trib.al/1qJhYfP

As I noted before - so called superpowers are not what we were led to believe.

Joerg Lau@joerglau.bsky.social · 5d ago

Every day I grow more suspicious of the notion that we live in an era of “great power rivalry”. I think this is a very misleading concept. None of these supposedly great powers can dominate minor adversaries (Ukraine, Iran, Taiwan). How powerful are they, really?

A reason for others not to attend

Really surprised to see that I won the elections....

Spot-on. Europe is strewn with the bodies of centre-right parties who decided that the best way of countering the rise of the far right was to adopt some of their rhetoric and policies. Not that the Tories here would dream of making the same mistake, of course.

Florian Foos@florianfoos.bsky.social · last wk.

Side note: This is not only another very bad result for the CDU, but for the centre-right in general. The FDP doesn't even factor anymore. 1% in MV and likely no more than 2-3% in Berlin. Looks like the populist rebirth of the Free Democrats isn't quite going to plan.

Anton Gerashchenko@antongerashchenko.bsky.social · last wk.

So, given that Ukraine managed to achieve this despite having virtually no air force - lacking, for instance, the operational capability to fly over Russian territory, I have told the Russians (partly as a deterrent): "Watch out, because we have more combat aircraft than you do."
