Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has issued a sharp response to Elon Musk’s call to dismantle the EU.

In a follow up statement, Sikorski added: "If anyone still had doubts about who all this anti-EU talk about sovereignty serves. Those who want to profit from sowing hatred and those who want to conquer Europe."

Some emails take me a long time to reply to. Others, not so much.
Liebe Community, ihr habt uns überzeugt: Die Stadt Mainz bleibt auf Mastodon. Für die vielen, konstruktiven Reaktionen vielen Dank! Offen gesagt: Wir haben nicht damit gerechnet. Denn wir hatten in den letzten Jahren hier wenig Resonanz erfahren. Daher wollten wir uns auf die Plattformen konzentrieren, auf denen wir zigmal mehr Follower und Reaktionen haben. Ihr macht uns jetzt Mut, dass Mastodon lebt. Lasst uns hier geMAINZam austauschen: lebendig, vielfältig, solidarisch. 🙂

🎉 10 years of open source Swift! A decade ago today, we opened Swift to the world with a simple blog post: https://swift.org/blog/welcome

What's grown since—thanks to an incredible community of contributors—has been extraordinary. Here's to the next ten years. 🧡

And here's an American Ford F-350 next to the most popular car in Europe (Dacia Sandero).

There's a reason why we need to do everything we can to prevent people from driving these stupid American trucks in Europe.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

National news about the dangerous American cars that might be welcomed on European roads!

Journalist (in the 1st fragment) also tried such a car and explains 'You are a danger for others on the road, you are mostly busy trying not to hit something, it constantly beeps'.

In the 2nd fragment some figures. Since 2010 36% less road casualties in the EU and an increase of 30% in the US.

Conclusion after driving a Dodge: "we were the most hated on the road."
