I think they mean "live" in contrast to theoretical, eg wargames

Progress has slowed considerably. We're currently at 380 K. The UK petition should re-open soon-ish as the portal has started accepting initiatives again. i hope that this creates a new batch headlines which should also translate into attention for the EU campaign.

I've added some qoutes from the article

 

Women “would have their uteruses removed when they turn over 30,” Naoki Hyakuta, leader of the Conservative Party of Japan, said in a stream on his YouTube channel on Friday.

On the channel, he also said that he would make it law for “women who are single after 25 years old not to be allowed to marry.”

(...)

Later, Hyakuta posted an apology on his X account. “I cannot deny that the expressions were too harsh,” he said. “I apologize for those who were offended.”

Eventually, yes. But we are not quite there yet. In January Scholz will face a vote of no confidence, which he is unlikely to win. At this point all parties may try to find new governing majorities within the current makeup of the Bundestag, our parliament. This is also extremely unlikely to succeed (not with only a few months left in the term anyway). And then a snap election is called

Öl is German for oil and it is winning most elections as far as I know

Sure, but he didn't advocate for a boycott, he talked about "going sailing" a.k.a. piracy

[...] young people are encountering the tape for the first time on TikTok, where users are sharing videos of their reactions and, in some cases, reaching large audiences.

“I don’t think any of my friends had heard it,” said Kate Sullivan, a 21-year-old student in Ohio who heard the tape for the first time on her TikTok For You feed this week. “We all felt equally shocked.”

Some of the trending “Access Hollywood” TikToks came from older users who heard Trump’s comments the first time around. But for people like Sullivan, who will vote for the first time in Tuesday’s election, the discovery cast both the 2016 and 2024 elections in a new light. Did people know about the tape before they voted in 2016? she asked a Post reporter. Yes, the tape came out before Election Day. “I just recently got into politics,” she said. “The fact that people knew about this, and he still won, is pretty wild to me.”

 

Raab was also responsible for the national final in 2010 which resulted in Germany winning the contest with Lena and the song Satellite

If you know how to use them, than you probably also know how to properly align stuff using tabs

It's a term that goes back to the cold war. There was a strike and the Soviet Union ended it violently by rolling tanks into the city. This put communists all over the world into a bit of a dilemma: on one side of the conflict was the working class making their opinion known (a communist value) and on the other the Soviet Union (the good guys). So whose side should they take?

It was British communists who coined the term "tankie" for those who defended the SUs actions to brand them as "fake communists" who are more interested in identity politics (the good guys did it, therefore it's OK) than the plight of the working class.

The best part of the blogpost: They are going to invest even more next year.

Last week, the budget committee of the Bundestag decided to increase the Sovereign Tech Fund's allocation by €4 million for next year. We're honored and thankful for the German Parliament's recognition of the importance of open source technologies, and for their continued trust in our work.

 

America is too big for planes, too. If your transportation solution is flying, now everyone has to get around via endless highways or big, complicated regional airports, and you can only have so many of those. There's a reason why rural areas in North America have completely different politics from urban areas, and why so much of it is driven by a sense of isolation and abandonment. Trains promise to help here because they are able to stop in small places that will never, ever have practical airports.

A good rail network provides a reliable, consistent, repeatable, and straightforward three hour connection from Nowheresberg to the nearest city. Slow, but good enough to feel like they exist in the same planet. Unfortunately, that promise is subtle, and it plays out over decades, so the reward system we've created for ourselves is incapable of supporting it. And thus, we have Amtrak and confederate flags

  • Ukraine must have the possibility to defend itself fully
  • Parliament deplores the declining volume of bilateral military aid to Ukraine by EU countries
  • MEPs demand tougher EU sanctions against Russia and its allies
  • Accountability for war crimes and Russian reparations are essential elements of any peaceful solution

In a resolution, MEPs want EU countries to lift current restrictions hindering Ukraine from using Western weapons systems against legitimate military targets in Russia.

The text, adopted on Thursday 19 September with 425 votes in favour, 131 against and 63 abstentions, states that without lifting current restrictions, Ukraine cannot fully exercise its right to self-defence and remains exposed to attacks on its population and infrastructure.
