The Israeli army is expanding its offensive in the northern West Bank and employing some of the same tactics that it has used in Gaza over the past 15 months, including the mass expulsion of residents, airstrikes, and large scale demolitions.
Ich bin ein großer Paprika-Fan, sowohl als Gemüse als auch als Gewürz in Pulverform. Deshalb ist es keine Überraschung, dass ich Ajvar liebe, eine Paprikapaste, die in ganz Südosteuropa und in der Türkei verbreitet ist.
Ursprünglich bestand die nur aus roten Paprikaschoten, Salz und Pfeffer. Mittlerweile ist es üblich, dass auch etwas Aubergine mit in dem breiartigen Ajvar drin ist. Ich nutze es gerne beim Kochen als Teil von mediterranen Eintopfgerichten, aber auch auf Brot geschmiert schmeckt es fantastisch.
Es gibt Ajvar in mild und scharf. Als Warmduscher bin ich bei der milden Variante und kaufe das Zeugs meistens bei Penny. Das Glas ist dort lediglich mit einem gut ablösbaren Plastikaufkleber versehen und macht sich im gespülten Zustand gut für eine Anschlussverwendung, z.B. für selbstgemachte Marmeladen.
Ich werde mal meinen bulgarischen Taxikollegen fragen, wo ich das hier in Hamburg kaufen kann. Danke für den Tipp.
New: Github reveals some of the code and banal back-and-forth discussion used to clean a federal database of "forbidden words" in a dataset that tracks spending effectiveness for Headstart, which affects "America's most vulnerable young children":

‘Forbidden Words’: Github Reveals How Software Engineers Are Purging Federal Databases
A project called "Remove-DEI" shows the tweaks used to remove "forbidden words" from a database about childhood school readiness.Jason Koebler (404 Media)
Elon Musk and Trump are already purging the civil service of federal workers deemed insufficiently "loyal" while rewriting/deleting government websites that aren't "in compliance" with Trumpism.
The Nazis had a word for this process of bringing everything into alignment with the leader's ideology:
We are now seeing it implemented in the USA.

![Meme with red background shading to black on the right side and the text:
Gleichschaltung:
(German pronunciation [ˈɡlaɪçʃaltʊŋ]),
meaning synchronization or bringing into line; a type of forced standardization.
Gleichschaltung was the process by which Adolf Hitler established totalitarian control and "coordination" over all aspects of German society, from the economy and professional organizations to the media and education. Everything was subject to "coordination" including leisure activities—even those for children. All social, political, and cultural organizations were to be controlled and run according to Nazi ideology.
The Nazi’s started with the civil service, issuing the "Act for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service". This act legalized removing anyone of non-Aryan descent from the civil service.

Around this time 8 years ago, I asked @sabcatsilver to travel to Bali with me. Both of our girlfriends had broken up with us at the same time. I said she could get over her heartbreak there. (Haha)
We went to Cuca, a really beautiful restaurant I love in Jimbaran. Somehow the staff mixed up our booking and thought we were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary so they did a whole celebration, which was confusing. And anxiety-inducing. (This was like week 2 of us hanging out)
She was into it, and now we have been married a long time.
The end.
I’m planning to move server to my own self-hosted instance. A bit nervous about the move process but the guide by @FediTips (here: fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma…) has given me comfort.
I’m hoping my lovely followers will transfer over in time (and that you won’t abandon me!). I’ll post before I do it all and make clear on the two profiles which is the old and which is the new one. I’ll lose my posts, but if social media is anything, it’s certainly ephemeral.

If you do use relays, it's best to use very specific ones rather than general ones. General relays can overwhelm the resources of small instances, whereas specific ones can be very useful indeed.

Elon is not an elected official.
He is not a senate confirmed appointee.
He is leading a fabricated dept. without Congressional oversight
And he clearly lacks any understanding of government.
He is dangerous and must be stopped.

German voters would be well advised to follow the news about the rapid dismantling of state institutions that are of great importance for keeping life saving assistances working and about granting access to sensible data about US-citizens to the BigTech-fascist #ElonMusk who supports the election campaign of the far-right #AfD in Germany wholeheartedly.
German voters now have the rare chance to study the rise of a new kind of #fascism in the US that doesn't have to look like brownshirts marching through the streets hunting down Jews and communists to be as dangerous for democracy like the NSDAP of 1933.
Between January 20th - inauguration of #Trump - and February 23rd - federal election in Germany - all cards have been laid on the table for everybody to see. Whoever decides to vote for the AfD doesn't want any other outcome than what is happening right now in the US

In all the bleakness, one promising sign: Trump's education EOs show he and his Project 2025 goons don't know who they're dealing with.
The orders are legally weak. But in trying to take away real education, they risk backlash from ordinary parents.

Ich finde diesen nach deiner Antwort gelesenen Beitrag im Kontext lesenswert. (Vorsicht, lang)
Bislang hatte ich nur eine diffuse Ablehnung der Akademisierung der Gesellschaft. Nicht falsch verstehen: ich bin sowohl für umfassende Schulbildung als auch für einen leichten Zugang zu diversen Bildungsabschlüssen. Aber schon die Schule fokussiert auf Abitur/Uni und hängt damit Menschen ab.
Vielleicht meinen wir auch was anderes mit 'Akademisierung'
Bei aller aufrichtiger Abscheu vor Habecks Zehn-Punkte-Plan:
Hat schonmal jemand bedacht, dass der womöglich drauf angelegt ist, noch Schlimmeres noch irgendwie zu verhindern?
Man sollte nicht den Klempner verabscheuen, weil der in der Scheiße wühlt.

Gar nicht.
Wir sind jetzt nen paar Scheiß Wochen vor der Wahl. Medial wirst du abgesägt, wenn du keine Antwort hast, egal, wie die Stimmund vorher war. Da muss auch noch ne Koalition hinten dran, oder die Oppositionsbank.
Die Frage ist, womit man mehr gewinnt oder verliert. Man wird keinen rechtsunionsler dazu bekommen, G zu wählen, keinen SPDler, keinen Linken. Die Frage ist, wie es weiter gehen kann - dafür braucht es Brücken, in diesem Fall Brücken in fiktive Welten.

@thunderbird just noticed that we're out from beta version from an old post that I missed, and realized that I had to reinstall. successful import from beta and good to notice that I could have imported form desktop too
quick suggestion: change the beta logo from mastodon account 
quick question: is there any roadmap for sync service with desktop and/or filtering-tags?
Glad to hear that the import went well from the beta! And we are going to be giving all of our social profiles a refresh, including our logo here on Mastodon!
We do have a sync service in the works - and we'll be sharing this year's roadmaps once they have final approval from the Thunderbird Council.

Hot Jupiters are giant #planets initially known to orbit alone close to their #star.
During their migration towards their star, these planets were thought to accrete or eject any other planets present.
However, this paradigm has been overturned by recent observations of e.g. WASP-132, with an unexpected architecture.
It not only contains a Hot Jupiter but also an inner Super-Earth and an icy giant #planet.
