Nicht aus der Blognachbarschaft, aber in seinen Frankfurter Zeiten waren wir fast Nachbarn: Wie spielst Du das, Manfred Zapatka. (Ja, auch meine Liebe zum Theater hat mit Manfred Zapatka in Frankfurt begonnen, und mit den Schüler- und Studentenkarten für fünf Mark.)
Fast ein Jahr ist seit meinem Klagegesang vergangen. Ich war mir damals nicht sicher, ob es gut ist, meine sozialmedialen Befindlichkeiten so ungeschminkt niederzuschreiben. Aber was soll ich sagen…
Spoilt for choice for my first 2026 read - this pile includes Christmas and birthday presents, the results of the annual book token and Waterstones points haul, and a couple of Oxfam Books finds from December also. Today shall be spent perusing and selecting from the pile!
Plus a walk as it looks to be a beautiful New Years Day 😀
No busquen al bobo de año nuevo que ya ha aparecido! Herido por un petardo pierde 3 dedos de una mano. Le dan el alta de esa herida y vuelve a tirar petardos y al hospital hesta vez con heridas en la cara y un ojo.
Non è bastato il primo petardo che gli è costato tre dita per fermare la festa del 24enne di Roma, finito per due volte nella stessa notte allo stesso pronto soccorso di Napoli

Ich möchte fitter werden. Ich versuche zumindest 2 Mal die Woche ins Fitness zu gehen und spazieren gehen ist auch geplant regelmäßig. Ich brauche aber Motivation. Gibt es hier im #Fediverse oder auf #Matrix #Signal oder #Threema Gruppen, denen ich mich anschließen kann? Vielleicht springt auch ein Blogpost raus.
While the rest of us struggle to maintain our standard of living & if *do* we have any wealth mostly have it tied up in our home (with all the problems that entails around liquidity & value), the billionaire class once again saw its wealth climb on the back of a third year of stock-market rises across the world.
The only solace we can take is that when the AI-bubble bursts they will see a sharp decline in wealth (but will remain billionaires).
yes it's mostly in asset valuations- but control of assets is being used to gain control of policy and politics. The distribution of power creates a positive feedback loop to the distribution of wealth (and therefore of poverty).

Nel periodo delle feste natalizie, cresce la distanza tra chi può scegliere il menù delle feste e chi fatica a garantirsi un pasto normale. In questo momento dell’anno diventa ancora più importante la gastronomia sociale natalizia, realizzata dalle realtà del terzo settore che usano la cucina come strumento di welfare e inclusione.

"Israel’s decision to revoke the licences of 37 international NGOs, including Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, has come into effect as the Israeli government pushes to demonise organisations that assist Palestinians, among them United Nations agencies, with unproven accusations of links to Hamas" Meanwhile #Netanyahu parties in Florida #2026 aje.io/n0z5hc
La ragazza trovata morta a Milano. E il modo in cui i TG ne parlano. Continuano a chiamarla solo Aurora. È ignoto il cognome? No. Era una bambina piccola? No. Era conosciuta di persona? No. Quindi dovete chiamarla per nome e cognome. I TG devono informare, non personalizzare.

Cool, medisafe (an app that reminds you to take your meds) is going subscription only starting tomorrow. They provided a month's notice, and since I only found out today I can very much say that they didn't try _that_ hard to let anyone know ahead of time.
Turns out that since I started using it years ago, they turned into an entire "patient engagement platform", with over a dozen VC firms invested and a whole suite of products and features marketed primarily at the healthcare industrial complex, aimed at helping doctors track "patient compliance".
Meanwhile they got a new CEO ten months ago. The timing smells quite strongly of "okay user acquisition complete, time to pivot to revenue extraction."
Also interesting is that the announcement specifically says that the change is only for users outside the US. They offer no explanation for this, so I will substitute conjectures of my own: in the US they get to datamine and sell your information; or, they get kickbacks from the US's vast health industrial complex and so US users are effectively paying indirectly through insurance premiums.
Either way, sigh, scummy fucking corporations and their scummy fucking practices.
On the night of Jan 1, Russia launched 205 drones, mostly Shaheds, at Ukraine from multiple directions. Air defense shot down or jammed 176 of them across the north, south, and east. At least 24 drones hit 15 locations.
Well we started the new year off by doing our youngest’s paper round as he was sleeping at a friends house. But a benefit of getting up early is skies like this! 🤩
Two people stand close together in the foreground of a street scene at dusk. The individual on the left wears a yellow beanie, a black puffer jacket with "THE NORTH FACE" text, and glasses. The individual on the right has light hair, wears a black jacket with a thick, light-colored, fuzzy hood, and glasses. Behind them, the sky shows purple and pink hues, with bare trees, streetlights, a stone wall, and a road visible. ― A street scene at dusk with a sky showing purple and pink clouds. Historic buildings line the street, including a clock tower with a visible clock face on the left. Blue string lights stretch across the street, while colorful lights adorn balconies on the right-side buildings. Green traffic lights are visible, with vehicles on the road including a black car. A sign on a right-side building reads "Streets". ― A park scene at dusk featuring a grassy area with a black paved path. In the foreground, three orange and white traffic cones are tied together with string, alongside a sign. To the left, a fenced tennis court with a blue surface is visible. Behind the grass, a tall, ornate clock tower with green, red, and white detailing stands; its clock face shows the time. The background includes multi - story buildings, various trees (some leafless, some evergreen), and a light - colored sky. ― The image depicts a sunset scene with silhouetted natural and man-made elements against a colorful sky. A large tree with intricate branches and sparse leaves dominates the left and center, positioned in front of a church steeple. The sky transitions from bright orange near the horizon to softer pink and lavender hues higher up. To the right, part of a darker, denser tree is visible. The lower portion of the image shows a dark silhouette of the ground with faint horizontal lines, suggesting a field or distant structures.
