Die Grünen vorne mit 32% ist doch was.

German Greens lead Chancellor Merz's conservatives in state election Germany's environmental Greens are set to win a state election in the southern region of Baden-Wuerttemberg, leaving them poised to continue a ​coalition with Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservatives...

Pretty decent projected election results from Baden Wüttenberg today: Greens leading with 32%, FDP (liberals) not clearing the 5% minimum hurdle. Comfortable margins for a Green-CDU coalition.

at least we got one point.

should have won the previous game though.

In that gnarly font!

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

The SPD isn't who she should be speaking to, though. They are way too conservative and losing voters like crazy. The Greens are the best counterpart for her.

My Sharks just lost in OT after a 3-0 lead. 🤬

omg going to shootout?!?

please defeat Vegas, thank you.

With endless scrolling.

Not your initial point but: in Germany.

Sure, I hand coded HTML back then.

Also our connection didn't hit the public Internet until practically the backbone.

All these things minimized response time and made it feel much faster.

This is so true. Used to boot Linux from floppies, back in the day when we could write kernels to fit in under 1.4 megs.

They were fast! I swear they are much faster than the fiber internet I have now, because they were fully symmetric (same upload as download) and not shared with anyone.

But yeah expensive. $1500 or so a month, real money back then.

Ran a T1 line to my house around then!

Can't he just steal artwork or buy them cheaply from young artists before they are famous and then sell them in present day? Way better returns, man.

I mean if you're staying true to art history student vibes and not doing real financial shenanigans.

Actually he's in California most of the time, and he made his money with a software company (SAP, also name of the Shark's arena).

The NHL is overall extremely white and conservative and MAGA, though.

Patek Philippe Calatrava watch with sparkly blue dial and tiny diamonds around the bezel. Model 4997/200G-001 should one be inspired to buy one.

They make a perfectly nice current model Calatrava, too. With bling, even. I really like the blue dial.

Aber die FIFA Peace Prize! 🫠

Pettis is literally talking about how international transactions work, you cannot just sell US treasuries in a vacuum. If you sell it's because someone is buying, all transactions are two sided. There's no way to talk about money without thinking "in an economic way".

Die Grafik zeigt die Entwicklung der Flüssiggasimporte (LNG) aus verschiedenen Ländern in die EU. Der Anteil der USA ist von rund 25% in 2021 auf 60% in 2025 gestiegen.

Trumps Zoll-Drohungen zeigen: Die von der Leyen-Zusage für 750 Mrd. Dollar zusätzlich fossile Energie in den USA zu kaufen, war ein irrer Fehler. Eine weitere Erpressbarkeit ist entstanden. Wir müssen uns von fossilem Gas & Öl befreien. Wärmepumpe und grünen Wasserstoff verbreiten statt ausbremsen!

kid's drawing of a truck

thank you for helping my friends come to school

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

Nein, eine Mauer in Berlin?!? Unvorstellbar!

In what world do these characters mean what the arrows are suggesting?!?

月 is not time! 口 is not communication!

You can twist everything if you just gonna lie about it. (uh, generic "you", also: not 油).

Unglaublich was man heutzutage sagen/schreiben muss. Als ob es nicht selbständig wäre.

Also: Verstoß gegen Völkerrecht ist schlecht!

It's a lot easier and cheaper to own the means of production in the renewable world. Global south countries can set up their own solar panel factories with relatively small investments and training. Plus they don't need to be sitting on oil or gas reserves.

I mean, I wish.

The pandemic really did a job on changing the character of the FDP. Much like the change in the tech bros of Silicon Valley.

Yes but she is generally good about matters of defense and military.

Starmer's statement is unbelievable.

Merz thinks he can do diplomacy.

Yes, so frustrating because we were taking baby steps there with the RRG coalition. Never trusted Giffey, though, even before the re-vote.

Not sure that Matty deserved this serious of a factual takedown but nevertheless. Intelligent and thorough analysis of what he got wrong, about energy and politics thereof.
