  • We really have to stop taking this authoritarian clown serious. He might have ICBM, but his demands are so outrages and so far away from reality, that he cant be taken serious. He is a Bully offering his victim a week of not-bullying, if he gets big parts of his lunchmoney and demands that his victim is not getting into a clique that could protect him from the bulling. That is a really bad deal.

    Russians have lost reality since 1991. Most Russians define their country as a world power. How can they still think they are on par with America or China when it comes to worldpolitics and strength. It is straight delusional. They are on one step with North Korea.

    Do not give Russia one Inch. We increased the sanctions bit by bit. Russia did not respond in any sane way. Let them rot. I lose my patients with a bully that is that stubborn. They will falter sooner or later and we documented their downward spiral for anyone who has questions in history class in the next 30 years. Imagine getting dealt the cards putin had in 2000, and find yourself 24 years later in this dead end street. What a loser. You could have been the Asian Canada… and he choosed to grift from his own country and play power games. Fuckin Moron. Learned nothing.








  • Thursday is a Holiday in Germany, so many will take the Friday off as a bridge-day for a long weekend. That means that Wednesday is this weeks Friday. And as we all know that “Thursday is the small Friday”, todays Tuesdays is basically the small Friday of the week and this Tuesday is almost already at lunchtime, so there is no much incentive to start things, now that the weeks is almost over. I will arrange things on my table for two more hours and then prepare on this Tuesday for next weeks Monday. PS: I am exhausted


  • My pocket cast stats: You’ve listened for 115 days 14 hours

    Honorable mentions not yet seem in this thread (English only):

    • The Guardian: The Audio long read - full articles read by real people (30-45 min.)
    • Economist: Drum Tower - China correspondence about culture and politics
    • Aquired - 3h+ episodes about tech IPO and the history of companies. Sounds boring but it gives a look behind the curtain of the tech industry from the 30s to today (fun example episode: PowerPoint)
    • WNYC: On the media - Meta talk about media topics and enshittification
    • Law and Chaos - Previously on Opening Arguments, now in their own podcast: US justice topics, GOP bashing and of course: Trump
