Die russischen Luftangriffe nehmen zu, das Gefühl der Unsicherheit wächst. Mütter haben Angst um ihre Kinder. Mehr Familien denken darüber nach, Kyjiw zu verlassen. Sie fragen sich, warum Europa und die USA nicht mehr tun, um ihr Leben gegen den russischen Terror zu schützen.
Ich habe ein bisschen das Gefühl, es ist längst entschieden, wer die dominante Supermacht des 21. Jahrhunderts sein werden. Jedenfalls nicht die USA, in denen die Freunde der fossilen Retrotechnik ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste ihre Macht erhalten. https://www.theatlantic.com/photography/archive/2025/07/photos-china-solar-power-energy/683488/

Two Republicans took time at the hearing to attack legislators and witnesses for so much as mentioning the influence of the crypto lobby, or Trump’s personal crypto ventures. They don’t want people even mentioning crypto's hundreds of millions of dollars in spending on Congress.

I woke up way too early and was as quiet as a mouse. I wanted to let everyone else wake up in their own time.
As soon as Summer picked her head up I asked if she was ready for an adventure.
We let her pal rest in.
It only took a minute to fill up the water bottle and grab our walk ready day pack.
The fog was thick but Summer said no matter and we were off.
The trail to her swimming spot is overgrown but I managed to follow along without too much trouble.
She was one happy dog.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Spammers have been programmatically creating accounts on Mastodon instances for years. Sometimes they post once and never again, sometimes they post on a schedule. Sometimes they never post, like a waiting botnet.

As Mastodon's anti-spam solutions are effectively nonexistent, most instances in our network require manual approval of new accounts. Up until recently, it was easy to spot a spammer; their join reasons were generic.

ChatGPT spammers have now arrived.
