- dass die EU weiterhin Gas aus RU bezieht ist ja schlimm aber irgendwo verständlich weil schwer ersetzbar. Aber Stahl!? Da muss es doch andere Märkte geben!? 🫣
- Reposted by Johannes EckerThe narrative that the ruling class "went insane" during COVID was apparently not totally accurate. In actuality, they all believed that the Me Too movement killed their beloved pedophile fixer and lockdown just delayed them eventually punishing us all for it.
- What's up with Googles Search Algo? I searched for a straight forward term, and the first six entries are on point and related to my query. But then two items slip into the list that are not fitting at all: a Vogue Scandinavia and an Upworthy article with completely different topics 🧐
- Are there any good articles regarding the (un)feasibility of Musks idea to put AI computing into space?

- Reposted by Johannes Eckera lotta yall still dont get it ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape so if you have 1 claudeswarm and 3 slurp juices you can create 3 new gastowns Tonight's slurp juice mint event is essentially a minting event for both Claudeswarms and Wireheads
- Recommend reading! Also, this paragraph rings true for all those European conservative parties who claim to follow Christian values

- Reposted by Johannes EckerHere is a temperature map (in celsius) of the USA today, during what is being called the "Big Freeze". Ukraine was colder than this basically every day from Jan 5-23. And thanks to the USA helping Putin, the country was starved of heat and power.

- Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com "In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this." Scoop from @makenakelly.bsky.social

- After holding back a sensitive TB Production, gifting a stupid gold award to Trump and removing the ICEBlock App from the App Store, CEO Tim Cook once more prostrates before Trump by attending a Melanie movie screening (!?) on the day of the second fatal ICE murder 😒 spineless turd
- Reposted by Johannes EckerDispatch from the ruins of American democracy, 2026: Renée Good, 37, American poet and mother, was killed by an ICE agent on January 7, 2026. Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, American ICU nurse, was killed by ICE on January 24, 2026. Two Americans. Two weeks apart. This is a matter of record.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerThe Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors
- Reposted by Johannes EckerFour hours of continuous attacks on Dnipro, Anti-aircraft fire & Explosions. Drones in daylight, this is terrorism 101. These strikes serve no military purpose. They are designed solely to send a message while so-called “peace talks” are being floated.
- Reposted by Johannes Eckerokay nischig aber ich probiers: kann mir wer bücher/texte/autor*innen zu anarchistischen bewegungen in der ukraine empfehlen? insbesondere historisch, also im 20. jhd in der (zwischen-)kriegszeit, aber auch heute. finde das sehr spannend und will mich weiter einlesen
- Reposted by Johannes Ecker"This was a summit that could have been an email," one journalist grumbles on their way out. But it's worse than that. By going ahead with this summit while not being willing to actually take any action, 🇪🇺leaders have given the impression Trump's about-face has put them back in 'business as usual'.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerI am literally unable to articulate the depth of contempt I hold the global elite in. They should be pulled from their private jets and paraded through the streets in the clown attire they so richly deserve. We live in an absolute hell world.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerUS law requires 2/3 Senate approval for international treaties
- “The resilience of the Ukrainian people cannot be an excuse for this war to continue” This! 😔
- Russia unleashed another massive barrage of missiles and drones on Kyiv overnight, knocking out power, water and heating to much of the Ukrainian capital and plunging it deeper into crisis amid the harshest winter of the war. as.ft.com/r/57c18f60-4...
- Eigentlich sollten alle europäischen Spitzenpolitiker:innen ihren Davos Besuch demonstrativ absagen und Trump mit seiner Entourage an Stiefelleckern einfach vor leerer Halle sprechen lassen.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerOffensiv ins Mittagsbuffet eines Großbetriebes scheißen ist demnach "die Limits des Verdauungssystems der Gesellschaft testen".
- Trump’s massive and myriad power grabs, visualized and explained www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
- Reposted by Johannes EckerPeople need to stop seeing the hand of Putin everywhere. Trump does what he does because he's a vain, stupid person who is gripped with megalomania and narcissism. Don't go for complicated explanations when the simple one is in front of you.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerJust a reminder that as of now, Iran is still run by cruel theocrats, Venezuela is still run by far-left socialists, Russia is still run by a destructive dictatorship, and Ukraine is still run by a vibrant democracy.

- Ah, Sunday. That day of the week where I sit down on the couch, take my iPad and pretend that it’s a useful device while doing the same tasks on it as on my iPhone only clumsier and less efficient 🙃
- Reposted by Johannes EckerWhat makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerSince Oct, not a single day has passed without a russian attack on our energy grid. At the same time, we've been fed fairy tales abt russia "wanting peace" — used as a convenient excuse to slow down deliveries of badly needed air defences. A russian crime against humanity is unfolding live.

- Reposted by Johannes EckerRussia's full-scale invasion has now lasted 1,417 days, matching its WWII participation. Soviet forces reached Berlin and took it in that time, while Russia's army "heroically" advanced 60 km from Donetsk to Pokrovsk, with losses per square kilometer exceeding Stalin-era records.

- Reposted by Johannes EckerA headline to sum up our times:
- AND Apple removed the ICEblock App from their AppStore which is even more scandalous in light of the Minnesota murder
- Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok. www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
- Reposted by Johannes EckerThey speak like peace is around the corner when in really they have only agreed on a common position. Russia should agree too, and that will not happen.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerThe American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made
- Reposted by Johannes EckerMaybe the greatest example of the bizarro world in which we now live is that European states are maintaining the dangerous fiction that the US would fight for them, when the more likely use of US military force would be to kick Europe out of Greenland.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerOne example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

Schön dass wir die RU Delegation kennen Aber wer vertritt die USA? - Reposted by Johannes Eckermiller is truly just a dead-eyed Nazi freak. this shit makes no sense to normal people. just insane grievance coming from the richest country in the history of the planet. this man clearly has some bespoke pathological mental disorder.
- Reposted by Johannes EckerOf all the fantasy elements in post-9/11 holiday favorite “Love, Actually,” a British PM boldly defying a vulgar, bullying U.S. president may have been the least realistic of all. 😢
