Extreme-right AfD party's prodigy Daniel Halemba was arrested for Nazi party materials.
Halemba was to take a seat in Germany's federal state of Bavaria's parliament, but due to being unable to contain glorification of genocidalism until after taking the seat and thereby getting parliamentary immunity, was instead arrested just hours before the immunity would have taken effect.

Wellll... nobody ever became a Nazi because they were clever. It's an ideology for dunces, based on fallacies and fabulations.

⚠️JOB WANTED
After months of work in local food distribution and weeks of working from home, I want to get back on the open road.
So if you know about somewhere in Southern Finland in need of an experienced driver, please send them my LinkedIn job ad:
I'll be most grateful for any tips about interesting jobs going on.
Also: I am free to do some one-off or temporary gigs at the moment if the need be ;-)
John Crace is rather too kind on Dominic Cummings...
"A chance to be relevant. To have meaning. Recognition that he had been right all along. It would be a welcome change from his normal daily routine of bashing out 15,000 words on his laptop about whatever drivel was circulating in his brain at the time and hoping that some luckless sucker was dim enough to fork out £10 a month to read it on Substack."
The #putin caucus cynically wants to sever aid to Israel from aid to #ukraine.
This is not a trap despite the headlines , its just amateur hour from the new Speaker #MAGA Mike.
Even ardent #israel supporters can see that blackmailing lawmakers to split the baby while hostages are actually being held in two war zones is disgusting.

Ah, this is a beautiful review of my book! Where Rivers Go To Die. It's a collection of short stories.

Hey FediScience people.
An important step in handing over ownership of this site to the community was taken yesterday.
We have officially founded the FediScience association. A big thanks to the 20 founding members who attended and managed to stay awake:)
We will now go through the process of registering and applying for charitable status and hopefully be a fully fledged registered association ("e.V." in Germany ) early next year.
More info about membership etc to follow in due course.

OK, @skaly, since you’ve gone ahead and made a public post calling me out, let’s play that game:

I didn’t send you “false information” about your country.
In a thread, you denied that what Israel is committing in Gaza can be called genocide so I sent you this link by Raz Segal, associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University and the endowed professor in the study of modern genocide:

Look, at the end of the day it’s about always resisting the dehumanisation of the innocent, whether they’re Palestinian, Israeli, Iraqi, Syrian, Afghani, Iranian, Ukrainian, Russian, muslim, jewish, christian, atheist, disabled, ill, old, young etc etc etc.
It’s not complex. Don’t be convinced that it is.

#Introduction
I’m Aki, an #AuDHD #queer #Buddhist #Nikkei. New home here at ohay.ooo
I’m likely to toot and boost toots about the following:
-Buddhism
-flowers
-tea
-書写 calligraphy (also: 写経)
-cooking
-Language learning (日本語・漢文・古文・中文, Sanskrit)
-accessibility
-liberation
-prison abolition
Everything revealed about Boris Johnson's character during this Inquiry was evident long before he ever entered Downing Street
That he was not only allowed to become PM but was actively cheered over the line is a damning indictment of our political system
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
