We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Emotionaler Moment: Pistorius stimmt mit SPD-Fraktion auf dem Bebelplatz in Berlin die Nationalhymne an. Zuvor war die Fraktion vom Bundestag durchs Brandenburger Tor zu dem Platz gegangen, an dem die Nazis Bücher verbrannten. Nach einem Tag wie heute ist nichts mehr, wie es war.

Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

Wo ist eigentlich Jörg Thadeusz, jetzt wo klar ist, dass die AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt die offiziellen Gedenkveranstaltung leiten wird? Oder gilt seine Warnung nur für Antisemitismus, der von Migras ausgeht? Selten so viel Bigotterie und Gedächtnistheater auf so wenig Raum erlebt. Voller Verachtung.

It’s a bleak day for German democracy. Looks like the CDU is actively cooperating with the AfD rather than fighting them every inch, like we have to if we want to save our democracy. This after they have already banned Stolpersteine in Heidenau. I have a very bad feeling about this.

Es geht nicht „nur“ um einen Parlamentspräsidenten: Die Abstimmung heute in Magdeburg ist die Vorbereitung für die Wahl von Siegmund zum Ministerpräsidenten Sachsen-Anhalts - also die Machtübernahme einer rechtsextremen Partei. Und ein weiterer Schritt zur bundesweiten Normalisierung der AfD.

Wow, SPD-Kandidat für Landtags-Vize-Posten ist soeben gescheitert. Dafür hat die rechtsextreme A*D zwei Schergen für die Parlamentsspitze durchbekommen (mit Stimmen der CDU) und die CDU einen. Zufall? Oder Chiffre? Die CDU begeht heute Tabubruch & Sündenfall in einem.

Heute konstituiert sich der Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt. #AfD und #BSW wollen erstmals in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik einen Rechtsextremen zum LT-Präsidenten wählen. Es ist okay, deshalb wütend zu sein, Angst zu haben und mit Sorge auf diesen Schritt zur autoritären Machtübernahme zu schauen.

Apparently "Kemi" has "fresh solutions" uniquely tailored to Britain's current problems. <excitedly prepares to take notes> Cut taxes, reward the wealthiest, punish the poor and sick, alienate our allies, deregulate big business, and privatise any remaining state function. WAAAAAAIT A MINUTE!

Es droht die Wahl eines rechtsextremen Ministerpräsidenten. Im DLF Interview geht es stattdessen um Enteignungen, Neukölln und Wahlpartys. Der ÖRR versagt seit Jahren in seiner Verantwortung für die Demokratie. Kritik perlt ab. Kein Diskurs, keine Reflexion. Einfach weiter so. Bis zur Abschaffung.

Someone on Welt tv saying that the Linke are more dangerous than the AfD. Not pretending that die Linke are unproblematic but really? We have what I can only describe as a coordinated hate campaign against die Linke. Meanwhile the AfD literally want to destroy our democracy and deport millions.
