Die #ASSE verrottet so schnell wie die Politiker*innen, denen wir sie verdanken.

»Die Anlage wurde ab 1965 als Forschungsbergwerk betrieben und zwischen 1967 und 1978 für die radioaktive Abfallendlagerung genutzt […]

Der #Atommüll wurde in Metallfässer eingelagert, die eigentlich nur #Transportbehälter waren und in salziger, feuchter Umgebung selbst instabil werden […]

Seit spätestens 1979 galt die Salzgrube als instabil, das Salz ist teilweise nur wenige Meter dick.«

Cem #Özdemir, Mitglied der #Bundesregierung: »Was soll es bringen, Menschen den Urlaubsstart zu vermiesen? Nehmt uns Politiker in die Pflicht, argumentiert, streitet.«

#Gerichte haben diese Bundesregierung bereits wiederholt in die Pflicht genommen, und es bleibt ihr auch weiterhin schlicht egal.

Solange man die Institutionen der Demokratie demonstrativ missachtet, weil man die Macht dazu besitzt, kann man sich die Heuchelei solcher Predigten sparen.

3-year-old #RitalDweck survived the bombs on #Gaza, so far.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (#PRCS) assumes that by now, at least 15,103 #children did not.

#JamesElder/#UNICEF today, on #Rafah:

»a city of #children and families in despair […] I spoke with a young #boy and his sister. The boy had lost one of his eyes. His sister flashed a beautiful smile but was also incredibly shy because her face has been so disfigured by the bombings. Across the corridor was a #mother who had just had her leg amputated; she was laying in a bed next to her critically injured son. Her husband was downstairs; he has had two limbs amputated«

Tonight, #Eurovision2024 will celebrate #ESC #DoubleStandards, partying on the graves of 9,500 #mothers and 14,500 #children of #Gaza, in tune with music from #Israel.

#EBU 2022: "The decision reflects concern that, in light of the unprecedented crisis in Ukraine, the inclusion of a Russian entry in this year’s Contest would bring the competition into disrepute."

No unprecedented crisis in #Gaza, just a minor Hurricane, and deadly October-to-May Rain, of bombs.

Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, 50, was the head of orthopaedics at al-Shifa Hospital. [..]

@firstyear , the author of webauthn-rs, on #passkeys (I don't agree with everything in the article):

»starting to agree - a password manager gives a better experience than passkeys.[…]

Get something like bitwarden or if you like self hosting get vaultwarden. Let it generate your #passwords and manage them. If you really want passkeys, put them in a password #manager you control. But don't use a platform controlled passkey store, and be very careful with security keys.«

#UN High Commissioner for #HumanRights Volker #Türk, today:

»“Every 10 minutes a child is killed or wounded. They are protected under the laws of war, and yet they are ones who are disproportionately paying the ultimate price in this war,” […]

Türk said he was horrified by the destruction of An Nasser Medical Complex and Al Shifa Medical Complex«

»By this point, everyone on the call with Hind — her family, the dispatchers — were praying they would not lose her too. She was falling silent for long periods. The team did what they could to keep her talking, but it was clear that the child’s thoughts had begun to loop. She just kept saying, “Come get me, quickly.” […]

They lost contact with her soon after 6 p.m., spokeswoman Nebal Farsakh recalled.

No one spoke much after that. The room felt muffled with shock.«

German #police officers making up a fictitious ban against #YanisVaroufakis, allegedly issued by the German #Ministry of the #Interior, and serving this lie straight to the face of two #lawyers?

Wow.

The regime of #Iran has chosen to attack #Israel, and then declared "The matter can be deemed concluded." Experience tells us that won't happen.

Bombing around in the region has never been a good idea, not for Iran, not for Israel.

Of course, the next few days will all revolve around for whom "we" need to take side here, and who "started".

It's probably futile to appeal to both sides to not add another war on top of what the world is already shouldering. I could already puke.

»Authoritarian populists tilt the democratic playing field to favor themselves and their personal and political interests. Subverting #democracy from the inside without violent repression allows leaders like #Orbán and #Trump to pretend they are democratic.

If your #post is a #reply, and mentions a lot of #accounts, please consider sandwiching your message between the account #handle you're actually replying to, and the list of remaining account handles at the end.

In email terms, it helps others to mentally distinguish a "To:" from a "CC:", which is a good idea not just if one feels the need to write an emotionally charged reply.

A statement by @DoctorsWithoutBorders:

»We don't accept the narrative of ‘regrettable #incidents’.

We do not accept it, because what has happened to World Central Kitchen, and MSF’s convoys and shelters, is part of the same pattern of #deliberate #attacks on #humanitarians, #health workers, #journalists, #UN personnel, #schools, and homes. […]

This is about #impunity, a total disregard for the laws of war, and now it must become about #accountability.«
