Noooooo! I made a huge mistake. I watched a few minutes of the deranged racist‘s AI ramblings in the Ruby World keynote on YouTube – and now my feed is full of that guy … 🤪 I‘d better go watch that Cumberbatch documentary now! 🌍🌱 youtu.be/h3mRsvFmWi0

Sommer 2026: 16.000 Hitzetote 🥵 alleine in 🇩🇪. Dürre. Brände. 🤯 Die Bundesregierung subventioniert jetzt mit 2.500.000.000 € von unseren Steuergeldern die Ursache der Hitze: fossile Brennstoffe. Unfassbar. 🤯🤯🤯 Das meiste Geld landet dann wieder bei den Ölkonzernen, der Lobby gegen Klimaschutz.

Kolumne: Viele AfD-Wähler leben in einer (strategisch erzeugten) Parallelrealität. Das ist gefährlich für die Demokratie,die ohne Faktenbasis nicht funktionieren kann. Stoppen können andere Parteien diesen Trend nur, indem sie selbst bei den Tatsachen bleiben. Gerade der Kanzler.
