Vor einer Woche habe ich gefragt, warum Merz die EU schwächt - und wer davon profitiert.

Heute liefert das RTL/ntv #Trendbarometer die Antwort auf eine andere Frage, die ich mir - aber insbesondere anderen - immer wieder stelle und vorhalte:

Wer und was kommt danach?

Ein 🧵, der hoffentlich allen Demokraten so sehr Bauchschmerzen bereitet, dass daraus aktives Handeln und Einstehen entsteht.
Zuerst die Zahlen. Und die sind - ich wähle das Wort bewusst - historisch.

13% Zufriedenheit. Das ist kein Zahlendreher. Kein schlechter Tag.

Der amtierende Bundeskanzler wird von 87% der Bevölkerung abgelehnt. Das ist institutionelle Erosion, kein Umfragetief.

Zum Vergleich: Olaf #Scholz - der Mann, dessen Name in der CDU als Synonym für Versagen gilt - stand selbst auf seinem schlechtesten Tag besser da.

42% sagen: #Merz macht es schlechter(!) als Scholz. 40% sehen keinen Unterschied. Das sind zusammen 82%, die keinen Fortschritt erkennen.

Und dann ist da diese eine Zahl, die in der Berichterstattung zu wenig Gewicht bekommt:

82% der Bevölkerung glauben NICHT, dass Merz die Kurve noch kriegt.

Also nicht nur ein schlechtes Stimmungsbild.
Das hier ist ein verkündetes Urteil.
Besonders aufschlussreich: wo er verliert.

🔻Führungsstärke: -22 Punkte, heute nur noch 27%.
🔻Kompetenz: nur noch ein Drittel.
🔻Vertrauenswürdig: 20%.
🔻Weiß, was die Menschen bewegt: 18%.

Er war nie beliebt. Aber er galt als stark und kompetent.
Beides ist weg.

Hantavirus in a cruise ship, looks like Andes virus, looks like a voyage of the damned:
1. Trip starts in Argentina, where South American Hanta, Andes virus, is endemic. Patient No 1 rapidly deteriorates, meaning that he was infected before boarding (incubation 20 days) . Image
2. The following cases developed symptoms about 20 days later, a period consistent with being infected from patient No1. Andes is known as the only Hanta to transmit from person to person, studies from both Argentina and Chile have shown it is plausible.

3. Symptoms, as described by WHO, included respiratory failure but also initially diarrheas, all consistent with Andes descriptions. who.int/emergencies/di…

Ernesto Laclau, argumenta que o populismo constrói o "povo" através de demandas imprecisas, tornando o termo um "significante vazio" que pode ser preenchido por diferentes conteúdos políticos.
Mas qual a diferença entre esquerda x direita?
1/9 Image
Na Esquerda se trata de Inclusão econômica, luta de classes e justiça social.
O "povo" é definido pela posição econômica/identitária.
O Inimigo: A elite financeira, os bancos, as grandes corporações e a "oligarquia".
O "Povo": A classe trabalhadora, os pobres e as minorias.
2/9
A Promessa: Redistribuição de riqueza, expansão de serviços públicos e controle sobre recursos naturais além da inclusão social, seja econômica, como social.

🔴 C'est LE sujet dont tout le monde parle aujourd'hui : le rapport Alloncle sur l'audiovisuel public.

👉 Mais que reproche-t-il vraiment à France TV et à Radio France ?

Je l'ai lu pour vous, et sélectionné quelques extraits qu'il ne fallait pas rater 🧵⬇️ Image
1⃣ Une ligne éditoriale très orientée, financée par les impôts des contribuables.

🔴 Les temps de parole lors des législatives de 2022 sont très favorables à la gauche sur les radios du service public.

Et très défavorables au RN : seulement 10% sur France Inter ⬇️Image
🔴 L'Arcom a déjà alerté sur la sous-représentation du RN sur France Inter, notamment sur 3 trimestres consécutifs en 2023.

⚠️ Mais de nombreux biais idéologiques échappent au comptage officiel Arcom.

Le rapport Alloncle, en revanche, donne de nombreuses autres informations⬇️ Image

H-1B fraud is a scam on American workers.

I just received the official USCIS FY2025 H-1B report. Over 406,348 approvals.

What I found is a flood of foreign labor. Sovereignty, security, and basic morality be damned. 🧵 Image
62% of all H-1B approvals? Tech-related occupations.

Over 252,000. Over 60% of ALL approvals were for tech and IT roles Americans already fill.

Big Tech uses this program to import cheap replacements while laying off U.S. workers. Disgraceful. Image
Image
While Washington pats themselves on the back, American workers are told to “upskill” or get replaced by H-1B hires.

The entire system is designed to let companies take advantage of the law.

While American grads and workers pay the price.

"Je n’ai jamais accepté l'idée que mon destin soit lié à un État étranger. Je suis un fils de Constantine. Mon judaïsme est un héritage de cette terre algérienne, il ne peut s'épanouir dans la négation de l'autre ou dans l'exil volontaire. Image
Le sionisme a voulu nous faire croire que nous n'étions pas chez nous ici ; moi, j'ai choisi de prouver par ma vie que l'on peut être juif et mourir pour l'Algérie."
En se revendiquant « fils de Constantine », Sportisse rappelle que sa présence en Algérie n'est pas le fruit du hasard colonial, mais d'une lignée ancestrale.

Oh guess what Molly Small has a bath duck in this photo so you get 3 years in prison for being a paedophile for looking at it

I have been trying to work out what this means from the cognitive perspective for UK men. I want to write more about this here now
Thinking this through from the cognitive perspective we have a blank mind, maybe we are seeking porn, maybe we aren't, we see Molly, that is the idea - she represents sex, vagina, good looks and without the laws in place you decide to masturbate over her photos

This is healthy
So then what happens if you are told that this is prison for 3 years stimulus?

It means you potentially attach a significant level of fear to the image, that is the game which they want to try and play

It is about instrumental conditioning men with a fear stimulus

Por aquí circula un hilo que dice que las canas son la forma en que tu cuerpo elige sobrevivir al cáncer.

Esto es parte de un paper publicado en octubre de 2025…pero quien escribió el hilo no lo cita y mezcla mecanismos. Y creo que ha causado confusión. Hablemos de esto🧵 1/
Este es el paper: "Antagonistic stem cell fates under stress govern decisions between hair greying and melanoma" (Mohri, Nie, Morinaga, Nishimura et al., Nature Cell Biology, 6 oct 2025). De la Universidad de Tokio.

La pregunta del estudio es buena: cuando una célula madre del folículo piloso sufre daño en su DNA ¿por qué a veces el resultado es una cana inofensiva… y otras veces es un melanoma? 3/

Immer wieder halten bei uns in der Brennpunktschule Externe - meist Sozialarbeiter - Workshops zu unterschiedlichen Themen (Gewalt, Geschlechterrollen, Internet...) mit den Schülern.
Mittlerweile trau ich mich, sie grob verallgemeinernd in zwei Gruppen zu teilen:
1/5
1. Leute aus einfachen Verhältnissen mit krummen Lebensläufen und viel Lebenserfahrung oder Polizisten, die ehrenamtlich mit den Kindern arbeiten.
2. Wohlmeinende Bobos.

Mit letzteren fahren die Kinder *immer* Schlitten. Zur Einschätzung der Lage brauchen sie nur Sekunden.
2/5
Angehöriger der Gruppe 2 betritt den Raum. Die Kinder erfassen: Opfer.

Wenn bei diesen Kindern eines nicht funktioniert, dann ist es ein betulich-pädagogischer Habitus, der den zugrundeliegenden Paternalismus schlecht verhüllt.

Was die Kinder schätzen:

Kellogg: When regimes near collapse, they lash out — raising risks at sea. Accept that risk, but avoid harming civilians.

Focus on IRGC command and control, overload the system, and force a breakdown while maintaining pressure.

1/
Kellogg: Increase pressure by breaking Iran’s command structure. Strike its 31 IRGC Headquarters and key nodes like Kharg Island and Hormuz.

The goal is to fracture unity of command so they can’t coordinate or control operations.

2/
Kellogg: Iran will retaliate. The key risk is a strike on a US warship, which would sharply escalate the conflict.

Gulf allies, especially the United Arab Emirates, are taking the удар but continue to support.

High cortisol shaves 7 years off your life.

It wrecks deep sleep, accelerates skin aging, and erases short-term memory.

Here are 10 cheat codes to lower cortisol according to science:

1. Strict caffeine cutoff at noon Image
Image
Caffeine has a 6-hour half-life.

A 2 PM coffee means 25% is still in your system at midnight — blocking adenosine, spiking cortisol, fragmenting deep sleep.

Cut it off at noon. Your sleep depth changes within 3 nights.
2. Close open stress loops.

Most stress isn't from workload — it's from unresolved decisions.

Your nervous system keeps tabs running in the background.

Make the decision. Have the conversation. Complete the commitment.

Your body relaxes when truth lands.

My analysis of the 1v7 game against @GunterFehlinger NATO team held on 03.05.2026 in The Fire Rises mod for Hearts of Iron IV

🧵 /1 Image
@GunterFehlinger My objectives for the game 🇷🇺

1. Delay start of the First European War as long as possible so I can saturate every front with divisions and finish building up my airforce.

2. Prevent naval landings in Crimea and stop the Turkish and Norwegian fronts from imploding.

🧵 /2 Image
@GunterFehlinger 3. Inflict irreparable damage on NATO economies in preparation for the Second European War, because whoever loses the war gets a buff.

BREAKING

Mixed verdicts in the retrial of the first six Filton 24 defendants 🧵 Image
The jury found that Sam had not intended to cause any harm, acquitting on the “with intent” charge, instead choosing to convict on Grievous Bodily Harm without intent.

This is a much lower offence, and forces the courts & the government to accept the truth of no violent intent. Image
The jury found Samuel Corner, Charlotte Head, Ellie Kamio, and Fatema Zainab Rajwani guilty of criminal damage for dismantling weapons of genocide in Israel’s largest weapons factory on UK soil, operated by Elbit Systems UK.

They did not find everyone guilty, though. Image

Beynimiz 35 yaşından sonra
donuyor mu? 🤔

1933'te Carl Jung: "35 yaşından önce gölgesiyle yüzleşmeyen insan iyileşemez, kireçleşir."

Carl Jung'a göre 35 yaşından önce içindeki bastırılmış karanlıkla, yani "gölgesiyle" yüzleşmeyen zihin kireçleşir. Peki ya kireçleşme nedir?

🧵
Yirmili yaşlarımızda dünya sınırsız ihtimallerle dolu görünürken, yaş ilerledikçe neden olaylar, insanlar ve sorunlar aynı kısırdöngüye girmeye başlar? Kireçleşme aslında tıbbi bir durum değil; çoğumuzun her gün sessizce yaşadığı bu tıkanıklık hissidir.
Büyürken hayatta kalmak, başarılı olmak ve toplumda "güçlü görünmek" adına zihnimizin bazı odalarını kilitleriz.
Yorulduğumuzu, korktuğumuzu, kırıldığımızı veya yetersiz hissettiğimizi kendimizden bile saklarız. Jung buna "Gölge" der.

🧵 Israel has appointed a settler and close ally of far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich as head of the Israel Land Authority, the government body responsible for allocating and managing state land, as well as illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank ⤵️ Image
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the appointment of Yehuda Eliyahu on Monday.

Eliyahu previously headed the Settlement Administration within the defence ministry, where he oversaw the largest Israeli land grab in the West Bank in recent memory
His selection was approved last week by a public appointments committee, though not unanimously.

The committee’s legal adviser opposed the move, arguing that Eliyahu’s decades-long personal relationship with Smotrich posed a conflict of interest Image

🔥Pending before SCOTUS right now is petition for cert in what is one of most consequential constitutional cases related to liberty in the form of a free-market. And yet, few have taken notice of the case. In short, EPA decided who to give market share to based on "equity." 1/ Image
2/ Article here by colleague at @NCLAlegal washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/…
@NCLAlegal 3/3 Here is the docket for those interested. It is truly appalling unelected bureaucrats are deciding whose business to kill--including taking their market share to give to so-called disadvantaged folks who never built business w/ sweat equity.

If BJP ppl r not dimwits n still have half a brain cell left, and want a lasting legacy in Bengal — fucking own and start the utilisation of Bengal’s own “intellectuals”.
No more saintly bullshit. Time for raw justice. 🔥
2/ First: Setup a GRAND TRIAL to investigate EACH & EVERY rape case, murder, beatings of husbands, sons & brothers — just because they dared to put a different party flag in their hearts.
3/ Drag every culprit into public trials.
Make the trails bigger than what Jews did to Nazis.
Live telecast. No mercy. Let Bengal watch the monsters who terrorised them for 15 years.

Graham: I love the idea of a Second Amendment solution [arming Iranians to rise up] for the Iranian people.

We do not need American boots on the ground. We have millions of boots on the ground in Iran. They just do not have weapons. 1/
Graham: Give them weapons so they can rise up and destroy this regime. Arm the Iranian people and make the Revolutionary Guard’s life hell.

It is one thing to be bombed by America. It is another to have your own people shoot back. 2/
Graham: The Strait of Hormuz is the only thing left. Iran’s nuclear program has been destroyed, its economy is in tatters, and its military has been decimated.

If we can control the Strait, it is checkmate. Blockade plus. Arm the people. Victory is near. 3/

I got on a call today with a Gujarati UHNI from Dubai having anonymous profile on X.

What he told me will permanently destroy your middle class programming.👇🏻
This guy operates in absolute shadows.

Yet, his traditional supply chain moves hundreds of millions in physical inventory every single quarter.

I asked him “Why do you still work? You could liquidate, retire tomorrow and live on a yacht forever. What keeps you going?"
He laughed. Not a polite laugh. A laugh of absolute pity.

Retirement, he told me, is a sedative invented in the 20th century to convince the working class to quietly surrender their leverage.
