2025 is absolutely the year western societies started accelerating their turn into idiocracies. 🫠
"No, Finland is not bigger than Poland; quite the opposite, Poland is bigger than Finland. Finland's surface is approx 338 000 km², while Poland has 312 696 km²"

Thank you, Google AI summary! :)

Wenn der ORF ein "Was haben sie bitte die letzten paar Jahre gemacht, wenn die hohen Preise sie erst jetzt so überrumpeln?" reinzuschieben wär’s noch lustiger. Aber dafür muss wohl jemand wie @arminwolf.at ran.

Ein Trauerspiel, was die Politiker in Interviews abliefern.

Of course. Those are collateral damage peanuts, compared to the awesome shining orange light that brightens our days. 😬

(We’re _not_ living in a good timeline…)
I wonder if an outage there means other sites’ 99.99% availability guarantee/price also is impacted, or whether those are counted separately (even though us-east-1 downtime makes them inoperable)?

If the hit to uptime propagates (legally, too) that might get expensive.

Given that Amazon are saying this is only affecting us-east-1 (their primary Virginia datacentre) it's slightly surprising to see sites like UK banks and HMRC are being affected - you would think they would host services at the UK datacentre in London, or at least in a European one.

I don’t claim to have the solution how to make conscription work (or ideally: to not to need conscription in the first place).
But I am not a politician. Just saying “not like this” is not a strategy.

(Video with LINKE MP who doesn’t know more than what she/they *don’t* want.)
Good. 👍
1/ Russian 'grey imports' to support the war effort are facing a crisis, following simultaneous crackdowns by Chinese, Kazakh and Russian customs officials. Thousands of truckloads of drone parts and medical supplies are said to be stuck at the border. ⬇️
Likely a sign that russians are getting desperate. But too proud to come crawling themselves, still.

Give them time, they will.
The head of the Belarusian State Security Committee, Ivan Tertel, stated that his agency is trying to establish contacts with Ukraine in order to facilitate the resolution of the war with Russia, which has been ongoing for more than three and a half years.

All of russia needs to be burned to the ground. Simple as that.
In Pokrovsk, the Russians shot civilians.
Near the railway that the Russians had reached, a drone discovered the bodies of three civilians and a woman with gunshot wounds to her legs. Later, an unknown man carried her away in his arms.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am
Seems to be a trend these days. Austria is all about "OMG stuff getting more expensive all the time is kinda bad!"

Not that they have any idea how to fix it, either. So, plenty of parallels.
A cynic would say that the techbro and conservative AI cheerleaders just want a dumb populace that is easy to control, without ever having thought about what happens after they do.

A realist would say that the cynic is right.
Just one more reason why all of russia needs to be burned to the ground.

A nation of sadistic imbeciles that holds humanity back.
Russia carried out a massive strike on a mine in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where 192 miners were underground, DTEK reported. Evacuation efforts are ongoing.
Time to put a frekking snek on a plane!

Okay I'm going to try posting art again today. Please, for the love of God, do not be weird. I nearly deactivated my account this morning.

I'm not sure how I feel about the shadows, I feel like they don't match and are busy for the sake of busy.

I like the colours, though.
Yup, and the funny part is that they benefit because of the groundwork that conservatives laid in the hopes of benefiting from it (dumbification of the populace by smothering education and dumbing down political debates).

Ah well. Off to watch more of ORF’s reporting on the Teuerungswelle. 🌊📈
There is only one easy, quick, and safe in the long term way to deal with such people and groups.

Humanity, as a whole, never did advance by being tolerant of them.
And, as with other things recently, it’s all been so very predictable. Everyone advocating for stronger support and show of force from the West knew _exactly_ what would happen if we don’t do it.

Trump, putin & co are no mysteries. They are utterly predictable, primitive, underdeveloped brutes.
I agree. We still need at least some type of frameworks to understand each other, though. It’s just that nuances never work in such cases. 😐

The smartest thing, imo, would be more education (ethics, psychology, therapy) in school so people learn to get along better. Can’t trust parents with that.
Anyone sane left at the pink and green parties will most likely just go "Fuck this shit" then and quit.

We can kiss the idea of any real improvements to healthcare, education, research, infrastructure, the tax code, etc. goodbye for the next 1-2 decades.
