Germany summons Turkish ambassador as row erupts over alleged right-wing salute goal celebration at Euro 2024
  • It is offered with an outstretched arm, which is similar to other fascist, right-wing extremist organizations, and represents a stylized wolf's head: the outstretched fingers are the ears, the other fingers form the snout. The deceased founder Alparslan Türkeş, who is worshipped as Başbuğ, is mystically revered.

    Grey Wolves is the name given to Turkish right-wing extremists such as members of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) or the Great Unity Party (BBP). They have committed numerous acts of violence and murders in the past, especially in the 1970s.

    In Germany, the party is represented by three umbrella organizations, which include around 303 clubs nationwide with more than 18,500 members. This makes it the largest right-wing extremist organization in Germany.

  • Neues europäisches Bezahlsystem Wero gestartet
  • Zum Auftakt ermöglichen der überwiegende Teil der Sparkassen sowie Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken in Deutschland mit Wero mobile Zahlungen von einem Handy auf das andere. Ab 2025 soll man mit Wero auch online und ab 2026 im Einzelhandel bezahlen können.

    Ich hoffe noch immer dass wir uns von den US Payment Prozessoren eines Tages verabschieden können. In weiten teilen von Asien kann jeder 1zu1 in Sekunden digital Geld überweisen ohne Banking-Limitation. Vielleicht wird die Einführung des digitalen Euro in den nächsten 3-6 Jahren dem ganzen nochmal mehr Schwung geben. Visa, MasterCard und Paypal sollten nicht nötig sein, damit ich für eine Hähnchen-Flute vom Bäcker meiner Kollegin 4,20 EUR zurückgeben kann.

  • TIL Brooklyn used to have a huge elephant brothel until it burned down
  • There was also one in Paris as part of the Moulin Rouge Garden Party that was apparently designed with inspiration from the Coney Island one.

    Whilst digging, I also learned that the giant structure had been inspired by James V Lafferty’s “Elephantine Colossus”, a seven-story tourist attraction and hotel built on Coney Island in 1885, pictured below.

  • Vladimir Putin issues fresh demands to Ukraine to end war
  • We really have to stop taking this authoritarian clown serious. He might have ICBM, but his demands are so outrages and so far away from reality, that he cant be taken serious. He is a Bully offering his victim a week of not-bullying, if he gets big parts of his lunchmoney and demands that his victim is not getting into a clique that could protect him from the bulling. That is a really bad deal.

    Russians have lost reality since 1991. Most Russians define their country as a world power. How can they still think they are on par with America or China when it comes to worldpolitics and strength. It is straight delusional. They are on one step with North Korea.

    Do not give Russia one Inch. We increased the sanctions bit by bit. Russia did not respond in any sane way. Let them rot. I lose my patients with a bully that is that stubborn. They will falter sooner or later and we documented their downward spiral for anyone who has questions in history class in the next 30 years. Imagine getting dealt the cards putin had in 2000, and find yourself 24 years later in this dead end street. What a loser. You could have been the Asian Canada... and he choosed to grift from his own country and play power games. Fuckin Moron. Learned nothing.

  • Mexico elects Claudia Sheinbaum as its first female president in landslide victory
  • There is a lot of smearing and positioning going on right now of people calling her a saint and people positioning her as a devil. Can you in your own words try to explain what she is standing for in you eyes and what you think, how the country might change under her rule?

  • Signal: Will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees
  • Signal will also leave the EU market before they will give their iOS Version a backup-option (something the Android version has since years). I carry a 52 GB data blob with me that takes 15 hours to transfer from old-to-new-phone and that I could lose anytime my phone gets lost. Just because Signal does not think iOS user should be able to save their data.

  • Pufferfish skeleton
  • Thursday is a Holiday in Germany, so many will take the Friday off as a bridge-day for a long weekend. That means that Wednesday is this weeks Friday. And as we all know that "Thursday is the small Friday", todays Tuesdays is basically the small Friday of the week and this Tuesday is almost already at lunchtime, so there is no much incentive to start things, now that the weeks is almost over. I will arrange things on my table for two more hours and then prepare on this Tuesday for next weeks Monday. PS: I am exhausted

  • What podcasts have you been listening to the most during the year?
  • My pocket cast stats: You've listened for 115 days 14 hours

    Honorable mentions not yet seem in this thread (English only):

    • The Guardian: The Audio long read - full articles read by real people (30-45 min.)
    • Economist: Drum Tower - China correspondence about culture and politics
    • Aquired - 3h+ episodes about tech IPO and the history of companies. Sounds boring but it gives a look behind the curtain of the tech industry from the 30s to today (fun example episode: PowerPoint)
    • WNYC: On the media - Meta talk about media topics and enshittification
    • Law and Chaos - Previously on Opening Arguments, now in their own podcast: US justice topics, GOP bashing and of course: Trump
  • Judge’s warning provides dilemma for Trump over whether he will risk jail for a political point
  • I think he will not go to jail. And I do be not mean it like „buh, American system bad, they will never do it“, i mean it as in: they will put him on house arrest. Normal cloth. Normal food. Security at the door. If he continues to break the gag order and we reach contempt No. 20 then maybe (maybe!) we see him in an actual jail. Not before.

  • Immunität aufgehoben: Gegen den deutschen AfD-Politiker Daniel Halemba gibt es neue Vorwürfe, etwa Geldwäsche und Sachbeschädigung
  • Punshable Face. Was für ein Dully. Man kann fast sehen wie hinter seiner Baby-Stirn Weltbilder und Überzeugungen dadurch generiert wurden, dass zwei unisolierte Kabel aneinander gehalten werden.

    Weil du Probleme hast, die keinen interessieren,

    Weil du Schiss vorm Schmusen hast,

    Bist du ein Faschist.

    Du musst deinen Selbsthass nicht auf andere projizieren,

    Damit keiner merkt, was für ein lieber Kerl du bist!

  • Virginia's land claims by year
  • Reminds me about the Treaty of Zaragoza between Castile (Spain) and Portugal, where they divided the world in two half between each other. Just claim big.

    Context: The "new world" was just discovered 35 yeas earlier and the world map was still very crude in the east indias and the new amazonas region - worldmaps 1530
