Pope Leo tells broadcasters to reject Trumpian war propaganda

The pope’s remarks about portraying war as if it’s a video game could be interpreted as a clear shot at the Trump administration.

People keep saying Trump lied throughout his 2024 election campaign.

I think he predicted the future.

#Putin is supplying #Iran with targeting data so the mullahs can kill American soldiers. In return, #Trump lifts oil sanctions so Putin can replenish his war chest against #Ukraine. And the Americans, the world's oldest democracy, are watching and doing nothing about it.

Everything is doom and gloom in the news cycle and I've been really cynical lately, but a surprising amount of good news came out in tech this week, so for a change I decided to dedicate a whole episode to things I found to be mostly positive!

It used to be a treat to spread out on the king size bed and have the best luxurious sleep when my wife went away. Now divorced and I can't bring myself to enjoy it like I used to. I sleep miserably solely on 'my' side of the bed instead.

Fairphone put out a document that takes a holistic look at the environmental impact of electronics. Everything detailed by component, material, process, etc. Really interesting for those looking to dig deeper

Dieses Framing, die Vetternwirtschaft um steuerfinanzierte Jobs wäre bei der AfD besonders schlimm, denn sie sei gegen den Filz der "Altparteien" angetreten, übernimmt a) das Narrativ der Faschistenpartei und bescheinigt ihr b) eine grundsätzliche Glaubwürdigkeit, die sie aber gar nicht besitzt.
