Fragen sie mal die #Töchter, hatte #Merz doch letztes Jahr erst empfohlen.

#Sexismus ist immer schädlich und muss immer zu Konsequenzen führen.

Das hier Männer einen Mann verteidigen, passiert auch nur, weil er WEIß ist.

#CDU #BaWÜ

(Palmer findet btw. auch, man müsste #Hagel verteidigen)

https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/die-cdu-nach-hagels-sexistischen-aussagen-sie-lastern-uber-die-sittenpolizei-doch-hinter-den-kulissen-wachst-die-nervositat-15290569.html

Noch deutlichere Worte findet der Mann, der schon Ministerpräsident in Stuttgart war und selbst Erfahrungen mit dem ein oder anderen verunglückten Auftritt gesammelt hat. „Manuel Hagel ist einer der wohlerzogensten Politiker, die ich kenne. Ich persönlich kann nichts Schlimmes daran finden, dass er sich an ein hübsches Mädchen erinnert. Passiert ist ohnehin nichts“, sagt Günther Oettinger dem Tagesspiegel: „Und auch wenn man es schlimm oder unpassend findet, ist das acht Jahre her. Wir müssen dieser Sittenpolizei endlich Grenzen setzen.“ Dementsprechend meint er, dass das Video „den klaren CDU-Wahlsieg nicht mehr verhindern“ wird.

Nach Hagels sexistischen Aussagen : Die CDU lästert über die „Sittenpolizei“, doch intern wächst die Nervosität

Sechs Prozentpunkte Vorsprung hatte die CDU in Baden-Württemberg zuletzt vor Cem Özdemirs Grünen. Könnte es wegen Manuel Hagels lüsterner Aussagen über Minderjährige doch eng werden?

But worry about China

Obvio US intelligence/JSOC/police wont be using this new one they are building for nefarious purposes

G'day,

I'm Kev. I'm over 60, retired ex military and I take photos. I'm a long time Linux user.

I got kicked off of Meta products because I refuse to upload a video selfie to prove I'm over 16 years old. 🤔

Tried Bluesky, but's it full of people trying to build their follower count. I prefer the Fediverse.

I swear occasionally, post Australian landscape photos and probably some garbage. (You have been warned)

It's nice to be here.

"First, it was NPR. Then it was MS Now. Then it was CNN. Now it’s the Times. All four media organizations have determined that files are missing from the tranche of documents related to child-sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that was released by the US Department of Justice. ...

Given this drumbeat of recent reporting, something appears to be breaking."

I was surprised to learn that gzip streams encode which operating system did the compression. I built a little tool, "gzpeek", to inspect this metadata (and more): https://evanhahn.com/introducing-gzpeek/

UK academia’s presence on X is reaching a tipping point

https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2026/01/14/uk-academias-presence-on-x-is-reaching-a-tipping-point/

1/2

#University #Academia #UK #LeaveX #X

A tipping point
Based on data updated in December for a keynote at the Social Media in Higher Education for Learning and Teaching conference, a tipping point is near. That is, when another thirteen universities cease activity or announce they are leaving X, more universities will be off X than on. Indeed this tipping point may already have been reached, making universities that engage with X the minority.

The reasons why these institutions have remained are varied. Although the putative size and reach of X’s audience is likely a key driver, as is the unwillingness to surrender the seeming influence of large follower counts built up over years. Needless to say whilst the last few years have seen inertia, many senior leadership teams will be reconsidering this question at this very moment. — A tipping point Based on data updated in December for a keynote at the Social Media in Higher Education for Learning and Teaching conference, a tipping point is near.

Sunset at Bodie State Historic Park in Bodie, California. Though its state park status makes calling it "abandoned" debatable, the state of arrested decay the buildings are in still presents visitors with an excellent example of a ghost town left to the elements.

Now Marathon is open to everybody, so I'm going to talk about it.

I played 17 hours solo, and it was a miserable, sweaty experience, with a very low time-to-kill with excruciating respawn/matchmaking times when player count is low. The art direction is beautiful in theory, but the bland flat map design and inscrutable UI does it no justice.

I don't think I went a single round where something worth recording happened. It is just not at all geared for the kind of social dynamics in ARC Raiders

I hope Marathon finds its audience, because it's unique enough that I would be sad if it bombs like Highguard or Concord. I would love to see a singleplayer game in this setting; the trailers have made this thing out to be something completely different from what it actually is, and far more awesome. But I won't be buying this, and would rather scratch my eyes out than play any more of what's there today 😅

We’re celebrating like it’s the 80s all over again, because that’s how February is going to end. In fact, with three days to go, this month already has had the third-warmest days on record in Houston. A weak front will bring drier air for the weekend.
