Merz fordert Sozialreformen: "Können uns System nicht mehr leisten"

Kanzler Merz hat die Bürger bei einer Rede in NRW auf harte Einschnitte bei den Sozialausgaben eingestimmt. Das derzeitige System sei zu teuer. Es brauche dringend Reformen, etwa beim Bürgergeld oder mehr Anreize für Arbeiten im Alter.

Den Faschismus in seinem Lauf halten weder Ochs noch Esel auf: Hessen setzt als erstes Bundesland Live-Gesichtserkennung ein. Seit 10. Juli 2025 laufen 50 Kameras im Frankfurter Bahnhofsviertel, die Passant.innen in Echtzeit mit Fahndungsbildern abgleichen – nach richterlichem Beschluss. Erste Einsätze betrafen v.a. Vermisstenfälle. Noch 2025 soll die Technik auch Waffen erkennen. Innenminister Poseck (CDU) feiert einen „Meilenstein“, Kritiker.innen warnen vor Grundrechtsverletzungen, Diskriminierung und Fehlalarmen. Grüne klagen bereits gegen das Gesetz.

In the USA, "the AI boom is fueling a frenzy of data centers that are competing with residential homes for capital, power, water, and even sonic space. The result is a housing market stuck in neutral, with the potential for higher bills on the horizon, and neighborhoods kept awake by the hum of chillers designed to keep machines-not people-cool."

There are so many hidden costs to AI.

How is it that whenever Jews are Criticized for their crimes against Humanity
Marxism, Capitalism, gay, trans, women's lib, Climate anxiety etc

There is always someone who feel the need to stop it by pointing out, not all Jews do that?

Of course, that goes without saying

So this is just another established technique to stop all critics against Jews

It is the same as using human shields

And it is constantly used in defense of Jews and sometimes for blacks and Muslims but never for the Aryans

@Killer_Mule Well said. And it’s not like an issue at the low end scale of society. It’s an issue concerning those at the very apex of society with their influence on the controls. Furthermore, I haven’t seen any of the ants on the ground calling out their own ants on the guy. Complicity is a huge issue, never wrong, never admit, never change.

I haven't said much since last Friday, but I was let go from my 2 year assignment at a business in Georgtown, KY.
I won't say where, as to not bad-mouth my previous employer. I was not able to physically do the work needed to cross-train to other positions.

My wife and I are doing Ok for the moment, but if anything comes across that I might be able do, we would appreciate feedback.

Ok, let’s check out this Wired article about vibe coding:

> “One engineer at Notion compared the economic panic of this AI era to when the compiler was first introduced. The idea that one person will suddenly do the work of 100 programmers should be inverted, he said…”

That sounds great! One person will be able to perform labor that previously required 100 people to complete! Surely this will facilitate a radical reformulation of the way we work, freeing us to do so many other things!

> “…instead, every programmer will be 100 times as productive. His manager agreed: ‘Yeah, as a manager I would say, like—everybody’s just doing more,’ she said.”

Oh haha right, #capitalism.

Pawpaw news! Here you see the first harvest of a Pawpaw tree (North America’s largest native fruit) I planted almost a decade ago.

Sitting in the bowl, they were almost *overpoweringly* aromatic, and the scent was sweet. Processed, they yielded three cups of pulp and a lot of seeds. The pulp went into two loaves of sweetbread.

And that’s it for this year!

Stay tuned for my Ted Talk about why you should grow your own and not forage native plants.

Why should you not go out into the woods and gather your own bowl of Pawpaw fruit? Isn’t there plenty for everyone?

The chart illustrates. No, there is NOT enough for everyone. Humans have driven the non-human living word into very narrow margins. This is one of the many reasons humans are driving a planet-wide mass extinction event.

Please, don’t make #foraging a new way for humans to colonize and extract from a suffering planet. Maybe take a sample and no more. Grow more habitat instead.

I made a website, has some basic information on it. fedizine.waifuism.life Just to make sure we're all clear. If you're an artist and you want to join, the request is two pieces of artwork: - Artwork #1: A drawing of a specific theme, this month of September, it's basically just going to be drawing Pleroma-tan. - Artwork #2: Open ended drawing made during Sept, can be anything you want. An OC, fanart, a 3d model render, a photograph, or even join with artwork 1 to make a full 2 page drawing. These artwork must follow these rules: - Size A4, 300ppi - Content shouldn't be illegal in the USA or Argentina - AI generated images aren't allowed - Lolicon or similar drawings are NOT allowed - Maintain yourself away from politics - No slurs - Nothing too violent or sexual - Secret quality standard (I decide what gets posted) In general I'm flexible with things, but this is supposed to be something that I could go and print in my local store and not get weird looks, unless they're good looks. The "Quality standard" isn't referred to how "good" your work is but how genuine it is. Message me in case you're confused or want to participate.


Picture this: FedizineA monthly Fanzine made on the fedi and for the fedi.

- Two monthly A4 artworks per artist
- Artwork 1 is a set theme decided by either a poll or popular demand
- Artwork 2 is free space that can be used anyway you like
- Any kind of art or photography is welcomed
- No AI generated images
- Would be released as a catalogue with the pictures in a subdomain on my website and as a document file
- Would have an issu like Waifu'sWaifus
- More specific notes for artists on next reply

September theme: A foxgirl milf Pleroma-tan
If you're interested in participating let me know and share some of your ideas so you can already start drawing. Release date is still TBD but you should have a few weeks to draw or do your thing. I'll be posting more updates soon.

Yosef Weitz, director, Jewish National Fund Land Settlement Committee (1932-1948):

"the transfer of Arab population from the area of the Jewish state does not serve only 1 aim--to diminish the Arab population. It also serves a second, no less important, aim which is to advocate land presently held & cultivated by the Arabs and thus to release it for Jewish inhabitants."

The once great, but now a shadow of it's former self, image sharing site Imgur is having a bit of a moment. The site was recently sold to MediaLabs who have plastered the site in ads, replaced moderation with AI and fired most of the staff. This has resulted in some parts of the site failing to function e.g. the entire notifications system.

Media Labs performance has been so bad it has pushed the numerically small but devoted remaining users to realise their power. The users of Imgur have united in rebellion to protest and have covered the entire front page in images disparaging the company. The site is entirely dependent on the users posting things to generate its income. The site owners literally add nothing except ads.

This is an exemplar to the rest of our society, struggling as we are under the weight of parasites who only detract from our efforts for their own gain.

Day three of the Imgur user rebellion. The site owners post about the rebellion. It is a wall of text that is not well received by the users. In it the company claims both that no one was fired but that there are "less of us here" to handle the workload. The company also claims to not be doing any of the things the users have documented that they are clearly doing. They claim no one was fired while statements by ex employees saying they were fired have been posted by users.

It is as if the company doesn't read its own site and doesn't think the users communicate with each other.

@pluralistic Are you aware of this user rebellion?

#UserRebellion #Imgur

in reply to Ooze 𓁟

The magic of Imgur was the wide variety of images that got uploaded, upvoted, and moderated by the community.

Now the new owners are driving away the variety, the up voters, and fired the moderators all they’ve got left is an upload button and nobody to press it.

Very silly decision and a great shame because lots of other sites use Imgur to share photos. A lot of sad forum posts will disappear down the memory hole.

@Ooze

Aren't genocide apologists great or what?

Remember when I moved to US, my Ukrainian coworker used to say "I wish US would change back to when only people who owned property could vote", he was a strong GWB supporter and very very strong opponent of immigrants (he was not seeing the irony of him saying that).
