Ein türkischer Twitterer schrieb mal über einen Autokraten, der sich in alles einmischt: „Wenn ihr denkt: ‚Von der Politik habe ich genug. Ich beschäftige mich lieber mit etwas Schönem‘ - was auch immer es ist: Sie werden auch das kaputt machen. Ihr werdet keine Luft bekommen.“

Two crucial differences between China shocks #1 and #2: - Export prices falling instead of rising - Imports flatlining instead of rising www.ft.com/content/4687...

What is especially galling is that this saved zero dollars, since the cruise ships pay for the inspections. And now their industry is less trusted because of perceived health risks. Amazing lose-lose policymaking.

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

Die dreckige Wahrheit über NIUS: Die haben kaum echte rechte Leser. Was sie haben ist ein riesiges Botnetz, eine Handvoll Nazis, und Millionen geschockter Linker die nicht aufhören können hinzugucken. 🧵

If there is one world historical legacy that JD Vance and Pete Hegseth leave behind it could end up being so needlessly offensive that they turn British nationalists into European nationalists

Hungary’s prime minister is more important to Donald Trump than all of his voters put together, than all Americans, than America itself, and it’s not even close. I wrote an essay yesterday to explain why: snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

Trump: “My Admin stands ready to use full Economic Might of US to strengthen Hungary’s Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if PM Orbán and the Hungarian People ever need it. We are excited to invest in future Prosperity that will be generated by Orbán’s continued Leadership!”

Everyone in the world: *busy doing other things* Melania Trump: HEY REMEMBER ME AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN?! Everyone: What, no? Melanie: Me and Donald partied with him! Everyone: Kinda forgot about you. Go on. Melanie: Also, Ghislaine Maxwell... But, I was not an escort. Everyone: Umm, wtf?

Melania Trump: The lies linking me with Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. I've never been friends with Epstein. I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Ich finde die gesellschaftliche Stille zu einem 20-Jährigen Rechtsextremen, der gegenüber Medien einen Mordanschlag angekündigt haben soll und anschließend mit Messer und detonierenden Sprengsätzen durch einen ICE zieht, nicht nur befremdlich, sondern extrem beunruhigend. #Siegburg

In 1400, Oxford had a population of 6,000 and about 6 killings a year. Triple that of London and York. Why was it so violent? Students got off with impunity, as they had clerical privileges! Nice evidence on institutions

So the total amount of drones they launched in 2023 is equivalent to one night in 2025

Regionale Großhandelspreise Nach der letzte Woche veröffentlichten JRC-Studie würde eine Preiszonenteilung die Stromkosten für Verbraucher im Norden Deutschlands um 30 €/MWh senken. Vielleicht überraschender: im Süden würden sie *auch* sinken. Wie kann das sein?

uhhhh

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump extends control over Washington by taking management of Union Station away from Amtrak.

“Seeking friendlier data”? Seriously, NYT?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

When my dad was born (~1950) only one third of the global population was literate. When I was born (~1980) already two thirds of all humans were literate. When my sons were born (~2020) around 87 per cent of the global population was literate. That's human progress in action. Source: buff.ly/exODbs8

They should definitely keep highlighting this as a core reason not to disclose

huh.

Those are really bad, but have you seen the *other* ones?

Even for the nazi platform, this seemed too extreme to be real. But I checked. It's real. WTF

Grok is a full blown nazi now.

Was ich sagen möchte: Die Armee der USA hat sehr viel Erfahrung in der Inszenierung, eine eigene Abteilung für genau das in Hollywoodfilmen. Wenn die so ein Lied aussuchen, darüber, dass privileged sons sich um den harten Teil in Vietnam drücken und dann so marschieren und die Panzer quietschen,

What's so amazing about this is that it started out as a dispute about whether a law would raise the deficit, but both men are giant babies with zero emotional control, so now Trump's threatening to shred Tesla and SpaceX while Musk is exposing Trump as a pedophile. From a spat to WWIII in hours

Happy Musk vs Trump day for all those celebrating.

Wenn ihr keine Bücher kauft, dann gibt es bald auch keine Bücher mehr.

Mir war nicht klar, dass Menschen aus der Psychiatrie direkt in die Obdachlosigkeit entlassen werden. Die Straße ist doch garantiert kein Ort, an dem man sich erholt. Hier gilt einmal mehr: Wer keinen familiären Rückhalt hat, kommt unter die Räder. Das darf eigentlich nicht sein.

Die Verdächtige der Messerattacke wurde kurz zuvor aus einer Klinik entlassen – in die Obdachlosigkeit. Das sei kein Einzelfall, meint Psychologe Thomas Bock. 👉 taz.de/!6090880/

an El Salvador gulag, 2026, three men are talking about what they were sent there for "I opposed Elon Musk," the first says. "I supported Elon Musk," the second says. "I *am* Elon Musk," the third says.

You guys Elon Musk appointed the head of the IRS and President Trump didn’t even know about it.
