Dass Jens Spahn immer irgendwas vor sich hin fordert, vor allem, wenn er von etwas ablenken will, ist inzwischen so bekannt, dass es ein Meme ist! "Jens Spahn fordert" ist ein Witz, für den es sogar eine eigene Website gibt! -> https://jens-spahn-fordert.de/ Aber der Spiegel fällt zuverlässig darauf herein!

Geburtenkontrolle lästiger Insekten ist ja im Prinzip ein vernünftiger Ansatz, aber wer setzt den Viechern diese Dinger ein?

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. It's the single best explanation I've ever heard on the future of #Iran 👇

As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed.

But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan.

Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation. So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse. A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree.

We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more.

Sometimes, I receive questions which leave both me, and the person asking, bamboozled.

> Your website loads so quickly! What CDN do you use?

There is no CDN. It is just really small and simple, mostly text.

> Sure, but is that Cloudflare, or...?

None. It is a tiny website, just a few kilobytes per page, on a tiny server, at my home, connected to the Internet via my ISP, Andrews & Arnold.

> But are you / they in the cloud?

No. The webserver is in Newbury, in my garage.

> Neil, please can you pass my questions to your technical person? I don't think you understand, your website cannot be in your home. It must be in the cloud or have a CDN.

Kontext: Klöckner versucht, Abgeordneten im Bundestag den Zwischenruf "Lüge!" zu verbieten, wenn ein Redner Unwahres verbreitet. Sie sagte wörtlich, in einer Demokratie gebe es keine Lügen, nur unterschiedliche Meinungen.

Wir sind also jetzt bei "alternative facts" angelangt.

If you're on mastodon.social, you might want to move your account to a different server:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server

The Fediverse is protected from takeover as long as we are spread out on many servers. If one server dominates, takeovers become easier.

Mastodon.social is currently 25.5% of the active Fediverse. This proportion is way too large and seems to be increasing.

Larger servers also tend to have worse moderation and are harder to defederate, threatening safety.
