„AfD-Bürgermeister in Gelsenkirchen vor dem Aus?

Heute entscheidet in Gelsenkirchen der Stadtrat, ob Norbert Emmerich von der AfD das Amt als Bürgermeister verliert. Hintergrund ist ein umstrittenes Instagram-Video, in dem mehrere AfD-Politiker durch den Stadtteil Ückendorf ziehen und Anwohner mit Migrationshintergrund die Straße putzen lassen. Daran war auch Bürgermeister Emmerich beteiligt.“

@vimagoes I am working on a Manchester date, but it's not yet solidified.

Who loves a barfind? This dusty blue BMW New Six (BMW E3) was rusting away in an old barn in Belgium. Fun fact: these cars were first to sport the twin headlights set into the grille; this became an iconic part of the BMW style in 1980s and 1990s models.

Since I don't know how this library will evolve I rebranded from circuits (established, trusted, serious) to bodge (pragmatic, non-beautiful, inelegant).

And I put them on Hex.

"'Left' and 'right' have had the same meaning since the French Revolution. If you want to know if someone is on the left or the right, ask them, 'What is more important: human rights or property rights?' If they say 'Property rights are a human right,' then they are on the right." -- Steven Brust, quoted by @pluralistic

Or, as #Proudhon more succinctly put it, 'Proper tea is theft'.

@2legged

It's true of course that such social changes are in play - the main one being that more people living longer means longer periods after children have left the family home - but it's still an issue of home-hoarding by the relatively wealthy - an aspect of the inter-generational inequality that is also driven by unfair taxation.

I'm taking my time, but here's the latest on the panel meter calculator with floating point.

Now just needs a wooden enclosure and the electronics

@pluralistic Manchester please, come to Manchester and unenshitify us !!!

One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint.

AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it.

I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one.

@patrick @moof direct train to Hannover from Amsterdam is fully booked and has been for a while. I'm having to change in Duisburg, and it's an extra 90 mins

Je veux dire: Y'a littéralement un formulaire avec UN champ email, et un UN bouton "Envoyer".

Turned out nice yesterday... though clouds never left the tops.

So wenig Klima wie nie: Das Erste und ZDF widmeten dem Klima im 1. Halbjahr 2026 erstmals weniger als 1 % ihrer Sendezeit – ausgerechnet im Sommer zweier historischer Hitzewellen.

Das Erste ordnete die Juni-Hitze erst am 7. Tag als Klimafolge ein. In Frankreich, UK und Spanien war der Klimabezug ab Tag 1 Standard.
