This is also an example where a new technology isn't displacing any jobs. No one was making a living writing to-do apps for one single person, but for things like task management or note-taking, it is very valuable to have something personalized.

I hope no one mistakes Americans hating high prices for having learned any substantial lessons when republicans get crushed in the next elections. An even more radical republican can easily win in 32 against democrats bogged down by the mess the previous demagogue left them.

Feels like the only non-Anglo shows they watched immediately made it on the list, which maybe is a lesson on what to do more of.

As another example, a local CDU politician in Saxony just had to step down after calling Netanjahu a "shifty jew" and saying "the Reichstag should burn again". That he had to step down and was condemned was good but it shows there is a problem having him in the party in the first place.

There is the pandering, which has gotten much worse under Merz, not really antisemitic but anti-immigration, but there are also some genuine extremist attitudes in the East German CDU.

CDU is especially hypocritical on this, and I don't think Die Linke is entirely blameless either, but in both cases this is more an issue of the base and less of the leadership, although it's their responsibility to fix. bsky.app/profile/aush...

I'd watch a season where Herzog revives his role from the Cruise movie. "These I gave up to avoid working in the sulfur mine." You just know he came up with those lines himself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9kG...

afd could simply be banned; social media needs the tobacco regulation treatment; shame and mock the far-right at every opportunity. In general, I'm not that precious when it comes to the tolerate-intolerance paradox. There is also some rays of hope, like Carney, Magyar, Trump polling, and Tusk.

I'm sure that's part of it, but you still have plenty of rural areas in the west where the afd gets a lot more votes than cities in the east. Economic disparities and growing up in an authoritarian system also play a big role to the extent that east/west contributes to far-right voting imo.

Yeah, I'm thinking more globally, but east/west splits in Germany are pretty stark too.

A better question would be why we aren't seeing bigger decreases in working hours despite huge technological advantages, and I guess it's because we like having stuff more than working less.

A war with Iran is at least something you could imagine other presidents doing, even if more competently. Dismantling the relationship with Canada and Europe, in large part through shitposting, is going to be a real head-scratcher for future history students.

Turns out to the right of Merkel and to the left of afd is sparsely populated. Communication-skill-wise, it also hasn't exactly been a smooth ride with him.
