Die AfD reist nach Russland. Mal wieder. Etwas Wesentliches aber hat sich geändert. Von Teil-Rückzügen darf die Öffentlichkeit sich nicht täuschen lassen.

Dunluce Castle, on the North Antrim coast, bathed in #sunshine yesterday afternoon.
This view of the #castle is from the nearby Magheracross Viewing Point.
The castle was abandoned in 1639 - more in alt text.

The ruins of Dunluce Castle, in the centre of the photo, are bathed in sunlight. In the distance, the sky is dark.
The castle, built around 1500 by the MacQuillan family, was seized by the MacDonnell clan in the 1550's and was abandoned in 1639 after the castle kitchens fell into the sea one stormy night.
The castle ruins are currently cared for by the Department for Communities, a Northern Ireland Government department.

Pepper & Franklin in some cool season grasses 💚 After lots of work this fall taking down ash trees & clearing brush, we’re expanding our sheep pasture down near our road where we’re planning a little paw paw, mulberry & asian pear orchard. Sheep are getting their first taste of it today #sheep #farm

We often forget how far we have come: Today almost 3/4 of EU electricity generation is from non-fossil energy sources.

It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix.

This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation.

Happy #ForestFriday all let’s have a pink #sunrise over the Yaak River Kootenai National Forest Montana

In a shadowy hush the valley awaits the rose and amber glow

These waters bind light and land.

#imageandverse #artyear #eastcoastkin #nationalforest #scape

A soft, radiant dawn settles over a quiet mountain valley, filling the sky with a sweeping gradient of warm pastel color. High above the horizon, clusters of small, rounded clouds glow in vivid shades of peach, rose, and coral, their undersides lit by the first strong touch of sunlight. The sky transitions smoothly into gentle lavender tones near the upper edge of the frame, giving the entire scene a calm, luminous atmosphere.

Beneath the bright sky, a low, rounded ridgeline rises in silhouette—its slopes muted in cool purples and deep blues that contrast with the warm glow above. A dense line of coniferous trees stands at the base of the ridge, their dark forms sharply vertical, creating a natural boundary between mountain and meadow. In front of them, thick brush and late-season foliage form a textured tapestry of greens, rusts, and soft golds.

At the bottom of the image, a shallow, slow-moving river reflects the dawn colors with subdued clarity. The water’s surface carries hints of rose and amber, echoing the sky, while the reflection of the tall trees appears as a soft, rippling shadow. A narrow strip of rounded river stones marks the boundary between bank and water—cool gray in tone, slightly glistening, and arranged in a natural, unpatterned scatter.

Wo der Koalitionsvertrag schon jetzt gebrochen wird:
- Deutschlandticket wird teurer
- Mindestlohn niedriger
- Keine Stromsteuersenkung

Der Koalitionsvertrag zählt nur, wenn es um große Konzerne und um Abschiebungen geht. Wenn es um Entlastungen für alle geht, pfeifen sie drauf.

Die beschlossene Preiserhöhung hatte zuletzt für Kritik gesorgt. Denn im Koalitionsvertrag der Bundesregierung haben Union und SPD vereinbart, das Deutschlandticket über 2025 hinaus so fortzusetzen: "Dabei wird der Anteil der Nutzerfinanzierung ab 2029 schrittweise und sozialverträglich erhöht." Von einer Preiserhöhung ab 2026 ist dort keine Rede gewesen.

Die Absage einer schnellen Stromsteuersenkung für alle bringt das schwarz-rote Regierungsbündnis zunehmend unter Druck. Nordrhein-Westfalens Ministerpräsident Hendrik Wüst (CDU) sagte dem Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND), die Senkung der Stromsteuer für alle auf das europäische Mindestmaß sei im Koalitionsvertrag zwischen Union und SPD eindeutig beschlossen worden.

Kaum ist der Koalitionsvertrag von Union und SPD vorgestellt, rüttelt CDU-Chef Friedrich Merz an einem zentralen Versprechen der Sozialdemokraten. Es gebe keinen Automatismus, dass der gesetzliche Mindestlohn 2026 auf 15 Euro steige, bremste Merz in einem Interview der "Bild am Sonntag".
