The developments in Nazi Germany are a prime example of the seeds of violence. Violent rhetoric came first, only then came the killing. We should never be oblivious of these developments and frame agitation as harmless political discourse. At some point words can become very dangerous.

AI image generation. Sure, it's controversial. But how would we otherwise appreciate fake German 90ies adverts for Cubase compatible MIDI beaks?

An elderly man wearing a grey suit with tie and glasses blows into a novel musical instrument that looks like a flute with an orange duck beak at its end. The background is full of colorful 90ies rays to give the image that intensity. The image proudly states in German: Brinko™ MIDI Schnabel (Brinko™ MIDI beak). It also has logos on it to state Windows 95 compatibility, Cubse 3.5 compatibility and showcase the official General MIDI logo.

Whoever published this is a few more ChatGPT articles away from being replaced by ChatGPT. At best.

Fun fact: Vienna lost first place due to an attempted terror attack which led to a canceled Taylor Swift concert. Gladly, no attack took place in the end.

Is Fico always talking like this? He's making precious little sense.

80 years ago this morning—at 5:29 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to widespread assumptions, the area surrounding the remote Trinity test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.

A black and white, high-speed photograph of the Trinity explosion at 0.025 seconds, showing what looks like a very large, slightly irregular bubble with a curtain of dust all around its bottom edge against a pitch dark sky. A scale indicating “100 meters” shows that the fireball was already approximately three times that size. Another black and white photograph of the Trinity explosion a few milliseconds later, showing an almost ghostly mushroom cloud with glowing tendrils rising from the ground above the very bright fireball. Another black and white photograph of the Trinity explosion with the same 100-meter scale, this time at 60 seconds post-detonation, showing a very large and billowy mushroom cloud rising into the sky. Another black and white photograph of the Trinity explosion taken some minutes after the previous photograph and showing the ominous looking mushroom cloud at a distance, its top spreading out and merging with regular clouds.

I wonder what changed for economists to arrive at this new conclusion. At the start of 2025 many pundits concluded that Russia would only be able to continue its war efforts unimpeded until Q3 of that year..
