I dabble. Mostly in trains - H0 scale and live steam. Sometimes in games. Professionally in tech. German living in Australia, I post and repost in English and German. Trans rights are human rights and I wish ill on everyone who disagrees with that. He/Him

An den Berliner Landesregierungen war die Linke in den letzten 25 Jahren immerhin 17 Jahre verantwortlich beteiligt. 2002 👉 Rot-Rot 2006 👉 Rot-Rot 2016 👉 Rot-Rot-Grün 2021 👉 Rot-Grün-Rot 10 Jahre habe ich eine Landesregierung geführt. Das war also Verrat? 👇 Irre. 🤯

Wolfram Weimer warnt vor einer rot-grün-roten Koalition in Berlin. Eine Regierung »unter Führung der direkten SED-Nachfolger würde den erinnerungspolitischen Konsens der Demokraten in doppelter Hinsicht verraten.« buff.ly/qIlxhRC

White male privilege on full display. The experience of the average woman, person of colour, trans/non-binary person - basically anyone who isn't a white man - certainly differs substantially. But why take that into account?

Men, I promise you, you don't need to, in any way, try and defend someone who literally admitted to sexual assault. Just don't do it. Don't even think about it.

The privilege of a CEO of a major corporation who has assistants for all the mundane stuff. Does he know how to wipe his own arse after taking a dump?

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Here is the full suspension letter from UGent that was sent to Nathan Cofnas, it shows ample reason for his suspension and potential termination. Including breach of contract, using the University of Ghent’s name and legitimacy to promote his racial supremacist views and causing reputational damage.

So they risked disturbing actual, real Bronze Age gravesites in order to not disturb the nonexistent 'grave' of an entirely fictitious figure. Help me understand.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

Was man inzwischen übrigens auch ohne Vorbehalt sagen kann: Die AfD ist eine rechtsextreme Partei. Das „in Teilen rechtsextrem“ ist falsch und verharmlosend. Wer wegen dieser Aussage Probleme bekommen sollte, kann gern unser Gutachten vorlegen (und soll sich bei uns melden).

It can be difficult to tell if a video is AI sometimes. That's not the case with this one. If you can't tell it's fake/AI-generated, you really need to worry. Also, it is the polar opposite of funny.

Sarah Martin is an incredible journalist and Hanson personally attacking her for very standard questions shows just how down the Trump normalisation we are. And it will come to all journalists who do their job.

So many worrying things for Australia’s democracy out of today’s #NPC. One of the worst was the failure of journalists to stand up for their colleague Sarah Martin. #auspol

This #NPC event was as much a test of our mainstream political journalists as of Pauline Hanson. With a couple of honourable exceptions, they’ve failed miserably. #auspol

Hanson attacks Sarah Martin at The Press Club, calls her “trashy” AND NOT ONE journo intervened on her behalf. #Journalism is cooked. #Auspol

Unfortunate that Charlie Pickering should declare Australian of the Year Grace Tame's gig at the ABC as 'problematic' while talking to a serial pest convicted of spousal abuse eh. #LetHerSpeak

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Catching up on a band that I sea live once in the 90s. Really liked them back then and bought their debut album. Didn't keep track of them though. Not only are they still around 30 years later, they're still cooking. I have some listening to do. #music #hardrock

I've been thinking a lot about the death of friendship lately. "Somewhere between “Let’s catch up soon” and “Sorry, life has been hectic”, adult friendship became one of the most emotionally significant and least discussed losses of modern life." timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/civil-...

timesofindia.indiatimes.comThe quiet grief of adult friendshipA few weeks ago, a friend called me at 01:40 AM. Not texted. Called. For a brief second, my body prepared itself for bad news. Adulthood has conditioned most of us to believe that late-night...

Büchereien werden von Preisen ausgeschlossen, Verwaltungen kuschen vor der AfD, Lesungen in öffentlichen Bibliotheken werden abgesagt. Man muss es in aller Deutlichkeit sagen: Wir befinden uns längst inmitten eines autoritären Umbaus, noch bevor die AfD echte Regierungsmacht in den Händen hält. (1)

If you receive an email from me praising your writing and offering to mentor you, it’s a scam. If I want money from you, I’ll get it the old fashioned way, by clubbing you unconscious you in a dark alley and going through your pockets for change.

I have a cartoonist friend in Afghanistan who draws under the name Kakar. He’s in hiding and has been persecuted for drawing on themes of free expression, free press, women’s rights and education for girls. He’d like me to share his work here. He’d also like for himself and his family to be free.

Autofahrern steht in Berlin 17x mehr Platz zur Verfügung als Radfahrern, zahlen für 1 Jahr Anwohnerparken weniger als 1 Monat Fahrradmitnahme im ÖPNV und haben in den letzten 10 Jahren rund 250 Radfahrer und Fußgänger getötet. Und das ist allen ernstes die neue Kampagne der CDU🤮🤮 🤮

Noch kein deutsches Volk vor diesem hat so einen Bundeskanzler ertragen müssen.

I hate how steam doesn't punish this behaviour positive review, based on the fact it's beatable in the refund period so you can get your money back you liked the game, but actively decided to exploit the system just to get your £15 back from an indie dev you actual piece of trash.

Stellt euch mal vor, der Chefredakteur einer großen deutschen Zeitung hätte in der Ampel-Zeit gesagt, er suche "händeringend grüne junge Leute", "25-Jährige, die Robert Habeck verteidigten". Was es da für ein Gebrüll gegeben hätte. Wenn er das heute aber über Konservative & Merz sagt: Grillenzirpen.
