Ein neunjähriges Kind wird in der Schule von der Polizei verhört. Nach Schulschluss, ohne Wissen der Mutter, die Zuhause auf ihr Kind wartet. Dafür im Beisein von Schulleitung und Eltern von zwei anderen Kindern.

Achja. Das Kind ist Schwarz. Aber selbstverständlich sind sich alle sicher, dass das nichts mit Rassismus zutun hat.
Klar /s

Polizei und Schule kriminalisieren Kind: Rassismus an der Grundschule

Eine Schulleiterin in Wilhelmshaven rief ohne Benachrichtigung der Eltern die Polizei, weil ein schwarzes Mädchen eine Freundin fotografiert hatte.

Managed to tear myself away from the Underdark to render this forest canopy height map of France. Tried to `render_highquality` while alt-tabbed but once rayshader kicks in, BG3 becomes a slideshow; it is quite a CPU hog.

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

Update: https://social.veltens.org/@angelo/110643298577042397 Now all #twitter t.co links are blocked by twitter login. All #links we ever shared via twitter can not be followed anymore without signing in to twitter, no matter where in the #WWW they point to. Twitter put a gate in front of our links by "shortening" them and now they locked the gate. We never should have given them such power. #gatedcommunities #fediverse #web

Ok, false alert, sorry! After double checking actually most t.co links are working and also the #twitter archive contains a field "expanded_url" with the full URL! So the situation is much better than I initially thought. Thanks for double checking and making me aware @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] et al. It is still a big risk, that twitter has the power to wall in those #links #gatedcommunities #fediverse #web

@artcollisions It's rather that Borussia Dortmund is my favourite team and I would like to see them winning the league.
@artcollisions The outcome. Would prefer a couple of more dots on the righ-hand side. ;)
