Das Bild zeigt eine Reihe von Fotos, die eine Demonstration in Deutschland zeigen. In den verschiedenen Bildern sieht man eine Gruppe von Menschen, die sich auf einer Straße versammelt hat. Viele Demonstranten halten Schilder und Fahnen, darunter ein gelbes Schild mit der Aufschrift "Stell Dir vor es ist Frieden und alle gehen hin!" und ein blaues Banner mit einem Symbol. Einige Demonstranten tragen rote Hüte und Trommeln, was auf eine friedliche Demonstration hinweist. Ein Mann trägt ein schwarzes T-Shirt mit der Aufschrift "A.L.U. Legalität für Unabhängige". Ein weiteres Schild in einem der Bilder lautet "Wir wollen die Wahrheit hören". Die Demonstranten scheinen sich in einer städtischen Umgebung zu befinden, mit Geschäften im Hintergrund. Die Atmosphäre wirkt friedlich und organisiert.

“War-ravaged Portland” is a sketch that writes itself.
But of course, it’s not a joke. Deploying troops on the ground to a famously liberal city is ludicrous. Oppressive and awful.

Thumb’s Up, Heart Check
A simple “thumb test” is gaining traction as a potential early indicator of aortic aneurysm. The test involves holding up one hand, palm facing, extending the thumb as far as possible, and attempting to move it across the palm and beyond the opposite edge. Individuals who can successfully perform this maneuver, touching or exceeding the opposite side of their hand with their thumb, may have a higher likelihood of having a hidden aortic aneurysm.
This increased flexibility, often associated with connective tissue disorders, could indicate a weakened aorta, making it more susceptible to enlargement and potential rupture. While not a definitive diagnostic tool, a positive thumb test result should prompt a discussion with a doctor, potentially leading to further screening for aortic aneurysms, especially for those with risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, or family history of the condition. The test is easy to perform and can be a convenient self-assessment, but it’s crucial to remember that it’s not a substitute for professional medical evaluation. Early detection of aortic aneurysms is vital because timely treatment can prevent life-threatening complications.

The image features a blimp flying in a partly cloudy sky. The blimp is predominantly white with some text and logos on its side, which is visible against the blue sky. The sky is a mix of blue and white, with scattered clouds that vary in size and shape, creating a dynamic backdrop. The blimp is positioned centrally in the image, slightly towards the upper half, and appears to be moving from left to right. The overall scene is serene, with the blimp as the focal point against the expansive sky.

The image features a top-down view of a light blue wooden table with a glass of iced coffee in the foreground. The glass contains a brown beverage with a frothy top, topped with two pieces of caramel-colored, crispy biscuits. A metal straw is inserted into the drink. In the background, there is a pink ceramic plate with remnants of food and a silver fork, placed on a white lace doily. The overall composition presents a cozy and inviting scene, with the contrasting colors of the drink, plate, and table enhancing the visual appeal.
―
The image features a stone sculpture of a face with a distressed expression, set in a garden-like environment. The sculpture is mounted on a gray stone pedestal with a plaque that includes text in German. The face is detailed, with prominent eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and it wears a decorative headpiece. The sculpture is partially obscured by greenery, including a yew tree on the left and a shrub on the right. The background shows a cloudy sky, and the overall setting appears to be outdoors, possibly in a cemetery or memorial garden.

The image depicts a river scene with a ferry docked at a wooden pier. The ferry is white with a yellow roof and has two flags with blue and white lettering. A metal railing runs along the pier, which is connected to the ferry by a gangway. In the background, there are buildings along the riverbank, including a large white building with a spire. The sky is partly cloudy, and the water appears calm. A sign on the left side of the pier has graffiti and text in Polish, reading "ANICEJ FORSUNKA LEWONIA."

Das Bild zeigt eine Hand, die ein elektronisches Buchgerät hält, das das Buch "Murderbot" von Martha Wells anzeigt. Das Gerät hat ein schwarz-weißes Bild auf dem Bildschirm, das einen Mann mit einem mechanischen Gerät am Kopf zeigt. Der Titel "Murderbot" ist in großen, grauen Buchstaben auf dem Bildschirm zu sehen, und der Name der Autorin, Martha Wells, steht oben. Es gibt auch ein Apple TV+-Logo, was darauf hinweist, dass das Buch als TV-Serie verfügbar ist. Der Text "All Systems Red" und "Hugo and Nebula Award Winner" ist ebenfalls sichtbar. Der Hintergrund ist ein einfaches, hell erleuchtetes Zimmer mit einer weißen Wand.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •The entirety of the US economy in the 21st century has been a tech bubble, and AI is the thing that is finally going to cause it to burst. Its perfectly ironic and fitting that they created a technology that literally eats itself and its forebears.
The monopolists have finally run dry of easy shit to sell us junkies. Currently we are snorting baking soda and watching Bluey while they consolidate everything they can politically before we finally hit bottom. As painful as it is going to be, the only way out is through. Politically, its going to open a lot of doors. Sobriety can be both beautiful and deadly.
