This absolute stupidity of equating "extremes" on #left and #right must be stopped by these so-called #centrists
At no point has the left ever argued for anything bad to anyone (e.g. kill billionaires). It is always been about inclusivity and fairness. The right has produced genocidal maniacs and continues that tradition. Please cut out this nonsense!!
The right narrows its coalition, while the left parasitizes its patronsNoah Smith (Noahpinion)

15+ years ago, I worked with a young Beninese Brass Band. Here's one of the tracks we produced at the time.

Vielleicht habe ich demnächst eine Gelegenheit.
Ich habe:
- ein Gebäude
- diverse Ideen
- IT-Fähigkeiten auf Niveau „Selbstversorger“
- handwerkliche Fertigkeiten
- große Zuneigung zum Pareto-Prinzip
- Idealismus
- eine große Bereitschaft zum Teilen
Mir fehlen:
- Menschen, die mittun
- Menschen mit weiteren Ideen
- Idealistys, die versuchen möchten im Kapitalismus schon mal alternative Strukturen aufzubauen
I just love the comforting presence of Orion. My trusty companion in the winter.
1/ The end of the steam age? China’s breakthrough CO₂ generator
youtube.com/watch?v=BNDrC6fkjf…
How we generate electricity is still mostly steam-based: We heat water so that it becomes steam which drives a turbine. Examples: power plants based on coal, gas or nuclear energy.
New approach: use supercritical CO₂ (SCCO₂) instead of water. In that state, CO₂ has the low friction of gas but the density of a liquid. Required: heat (≈31 °C) and pressure (7.3773 MPa; scuba tanks have 20 MPa).

“Far away in the heavenly abode of the great god Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out infinitely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel in each “eye” of the net, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the jewels are infinite in number. There hang the jewels, glittering “like” stars in the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that there is an infinite reflecting process occurring.”
— Francis Cook.

Billionaires, bishops, and progressives may seem worlds apart. But when confronted with evidence of sexual abuse, they have often made the same choice: protect the institution rather than the victims.Alice Evans (The Great Gender Divergence)
Vielleicht später
Die Tage gehen leise vorbei.
Nicht laut. Nicht schlimm.
Nur still.
Manchmal bleibt etwas liegen.
Ein Blick.
Ein Gedanke.
Ein Wunsch, der keinen Namen hat.
Ich habe gelernt zu warten.
Nicht aus Hoffnung.
Eher aus Gewohnheit.
Die Liebe steht nicht vor der Tür.
Sie klopft nicht.
Sie schreibt nicht einmal.
Aber irgendwo
zwischen Abendlicht
und müden Gedanken
könnte sie sein.
Nicht heute.
Vielleicht morgen.
Vielleicht später.

A piece from me in the Toroto Star today, I'll flesh out my concerns more in a post later, but the Eglinton Crosstown is good, which is a problem, because while the stations are palatial, the streetcar style trains are not high capacity.

Da ich in näherer Zeit einen längeren Auslandsaufenthalt in Asien haben werde und für Familie, Freunde, Bekannte und unterwegs Getroffene gerne ein paar ausgewählte Bilder und möglicherweise auch ein wenig Text teilen möchte, suche ich dafür aktuell nach der geeignetsten Fediverse-Software. Hat jemand für diesen Bereich einen Tip?
Aktuell tendiere ich zu Pixelfed, allerdings können da wohl gar keine reinen Textposts erstellt werden.
The Tokaido Shinkansen continues operating in conditions that would shut down most rail systems.
**Engineering behind it:**
🔹 Advanced snow detection sensors
🔹 Heated track switching systems
🔹 Aerodynamic design prevents snow buildup
🔹 Real-time monitoring & predictive maintenance
🔹 Automated de-icing systems
Since 1964, the Shinkansen has maintained a perfect safety record while running at 320 km/h.

When I was out for a short walk with my daughter today, this corner caught my eye. My daughter rolled her eyes, but I think it was worth it.

i think the reason that smoking weed turns off my autism is actually that the weed makes it unmanageable for me to mask and, by being forced not to mask, i am being forced to relax OR completely panic and have an autistic meltdown. and i have just always chosen to relax.
meltdowns are for special occasions, when people earn them.
