CDU-interne Kritik an Merz: Warum die AfD so stark ist
Union und AfD nähern sich in Umfragen an. Beobachter halten es sogar für denkbar, dass die AfD die Union überholt. Ein Grund dafür dürfte auch der Kurs von CDU-Chef Merz sein. CDU-interne Kritik an Merz: Warum die AfD so stark ist
This by itself would seem a reliable indicator of autocracy: Even corporations dare not object to an obviously catastrophic policy imposed by the ruler.
"So, maybe the real question is not how I fell for the love-bombing, but why it felt so natural. And what does that feeling of normality say about me, a young millennial pushing 30, and the world I inhabit – that such behaviour no longer feels like the exception, but the rule?"
This is exactly the same in Europe. We'll soon only have a generation of morons who can't read, can't write, can't compute, and can't think. That's how civilisations end.
Most of our students are functionally illiterate. This is not a joke. By “functionally illiterate” I mean “unable to read and comprehend adult novels by people like Barbara Kingsolver, Colson Whitehead, and Richard Powers.” I picked those three authors because they are all recent Pulitzer Prize winners, an objective standard of “serious adult novel.”
Their writing skills are at the 8th-grade level. Spelling is atrocious, grammar is random, and the correct use of apostrophes is cause for celebration. Worse is the resistance to original thought. What I mean is the reflexive submission of the cheapest cliché as novel insight.
I can’t assign papers any more because I’ll just get AI back, and there’s nothing I can do to make it stop. Sadly, not writing exacerbates their illiteracy; writing is a muscle and dedicated writing is a workout for the mind as well as the pen.
I’m less informed to speak out on this one, but my math prof friends tell me that their students are increasingly less capable and less willing to put in the effort. As a result they have had to make their tests easier with fewer hard problems. When I was a first semester freshman (at a private SLAC, yes, but it wasn’t CalTech) I took Calculus 1. Second semester I took Calculus 2. I don’t think pre-calculus was even a thing back then. Now apparently pre-calc counts as an advanced content course. My psych prof friends who teach statistics have similarly lamented having to water down the content over time.
Things have changed. Ted Gioia describes modern students as checked-out, phone-addicted zombies. Troy Jollimore writes, “I once believed my students and I were in this together, engaged in a shared intellectual pursuit. That faith has been obliterated over the past few semesters.” Faculty have seen a stunning level of disconnection.
It’s the phones, stupid. They are absolutely addicted to their phones. When I go work out at the Campus Rec Center, easily half of the students there are just sitting on the machines scrolling on their phones. I was talking with a retired faculty member at the Rec this morning who works out all the time. He said he has done six sets waiting for a student to put down their phone and get off the machine he wanted. The students can’t get off their phones for an hour to do a voluntary activity they chose for fun. Sometimes I’m amazed they ever leave their goon caves at all.
There are lots of #plugins/services that allow you to sync your #browser saved website #credentials across multiple devices; even #sync between ecosystems (chrome/google account <--> Microsoft acc).
But - leaving aside "password sharing is Baaaad" and "probably violates a TOS somewhere" issues - does anyone know of a plugin/service that allows you to share a saved login with a trusted other?
e.g. share an newspaper #subscription account with a partner _without_ a shared google account.
Obviously the simplest way to accomplish this is create a shared google or Microsoft or mozilla account with the other person. But I don't want to share _everything_. Also, sometimes its a pain to switch browser profiles, especially on mobile devices.
Like what I would like to do is share that newspaper subscription login w/ a partner (we pay for it) - so easy, just email txt it to them. But if one of us changes the pwd, it falls out of sync and the other has to change the saved pwd in THEIR browsers/devices. Again, easy enough to remedy, but a pain.
Again, only suggesting this for individual p2p sharing amongst trusted peoples and not for any circumvention of anything.
My chocolate TERFfle making experiments continue. I tried a different, much more expensive freeze-dried raspberry powder and WOW is it a game-changer. The stuff I used before was inadequate, I had to combine it with fresh-frozen raspberries I juiced myself. But the Koyah can be used all by itself, which makes everything much easier. 2x more expensive but 10x more delicious, so totally worth it. (No I am not being paid for product reviews, I just don't have a lot going on in my life so exceptional cooking toys and products excite me.) koyah.com/products/organic-ras…
Enjoy the best organic freeze-dried raspberry powder. Perfect for raspberry smoothies, smoothie bowls, baking, desserts, and more. Made from whole organic raspberries that have been freeze-dried to lock in nutrients and flavor.
@stephagainWhat are pralin chocolates? You mean a hazelnut ganache? Sometimes praline in the US means a kind of pecan caramel. regardless, I am making neither.
My TERFfles come in the following flavors:
Saffron (in white chocolate ganache, dark chocolate coating) C3 (Cardamom, Cinnamon and Cayenne in dark chocolate ganache, milk chocolate coating) Raspberry (in white chocolate ganache, dark chocolate coating)
And I just made a batch like raspberry but with passionfruit, for my sister who is visiting soon. She is fond of passionfruit.

You cannot create a corruption free government. All of history has proven this thoroughly and repeatedly.
The problem is actually rooted in legitimizing the state as the collectivized, monopoly provider of justice and security. That power is not--and never will--be used as intended. Instead it is sold to the highest bidder to write the legislation to favor them.
Expect greed and corruption. They are immutable facts of life. They will never be eliminated. They will never be effectively banned. They are inherent to human nature. Some of us are better at containing them than others, but they are always there. Those who become the most wealthy or powerful likely got there by being more greedy and/or by being better at being corrupt. That points directly at _both_ the Fortune 500 _and_ at politicians.
Ludwig von Mises reminds us that thanks to the rise of markets and capitalism, human beings gained more access to more abundance than ever before. And it is the
April 7, 2025 @ 11:44 (!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEELAN❣️❣️❣️ And for the rest of my family & friends, good morning❣️ Well I've been up for a few hours, spending time with my Petey before he left as he will be gone all day; also sorted the laundry because that will be what I am accomplishing today and tomorrow (7-8 loads), got today's meat - for me and for the dog food I need to make - out of the freezer to thaw, and I'm ready to face the day! Did today's morning Ain't That The Truth! and Daily Video updates of course...I probably won't be doing any meme posts today since I have loads of photos and videos from the weekend that I want to share, and that takes a lot of time. Haven't been to my happy place yet either; it's called The Good Morning Brigade, and by the time I get there it will no longer be morning unless I go NOW so I will see you later, have a magnificent Monday❣️✝️🎹🐕🦺🦜🙌🍅🥩🌿😆🚌❤️

Poor #Elon. He wants to know why people hate him so much!
Well....
Dear Elon,
Can't speak of others, but I hate you because you're a narcissistic evil man-child that would rather use your money to cause harm than to use it for good.
That, and you completely disowned your trans daughter. What kind of parent *does that?*
Also, you're a fucking Nazi.
If those aren't good enough reasons to hate your fat ass then I don't know what is.

When President Trump coined the phrase “one, big, beautiful bill” to describe his legislative strategy, there’s one word he left out: “complicated.” For House and Senate leaders, it’s been a two-month dance just to get on the same page about the broad strokes of a plan to implement Trump’s agenda. It’s like writing the rules for a game you haven’t even played yet. washingtonstand.com/commentary…

After a few unexpected days off, the House is back in D.C. to resolve a family feud that’s grabbed headlines from coast to coast. For Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), the spat was an unfortunate return to normal after weeks of surprising unity.

Critics of President Trump’s April 2, 2025, executive order on tariffs argue that the policy lacks clarity or direction. Yet the order is anything but vague.
