Must I say it? “Strange women wielding swords is no basis for a system of government.”

Das iranische Parlament ebnet 14.000 Hinrichtungen den Weg. Wo bleibt der Aufschrei? Warum ist das heute nicht die dominierende Schlagzeile der Zeitungen weltweit? #FreeThemAll #IranRevolution #JinaMahsaAmini

As Ukraine re-establishes control over de-occupied territories, authorities once again have to chronicle Russian atrocities: torture facilities (everywhere), mass graves (Izyum), the absence of men (Horlivka). Russia’s war was genocidal in conception and is genocidal in practice.

Man muss Militär nicht mögen. Man muss auch keine Uniformen...

Ich habe mir gerade mal angeschaut, was Europa gerade für Sanktionen gegen Russland plant. Wenn ihr mal herzlich lachen wollt, los geht's: 🧵

Version 1.5 von #Cyberpunk2077 ist quasi da und enthält das Gratis-Upgrade für #SeriesX (und S) und #PS5 . Außerdem gibt's eine Demo für die neuen Konsolen.

The reason why Joe Rogan’s defenders will only ever talk about abstract principles - free speech! Fighting “cancel culture”! - is that once you actually pay attention to the substance and content of the speech in question, it gets really dicey, really fast.

I didn’t think I could be shocked anymore. But I am.

Everybody should read and internalize what Mark Joseph Stern is saying here.
