De Re Publica

Wie dem Titel vielleicht zu entnehmen ist, war hier urspruenglich ein Blog über das aktuelle tagespolitische Geschehen geplant. Daraus ist aus Zeitmangel leider erstmal nichts geworden. Dementsprechend nutze ich diesen Blog vorerst zum rebloggen und zum posten verschiedener interessanter Bilder. Außerdem werde ich den Namen aendern, sobald ich einen neuen Politikblog gestartet habe und mir für diesen hier ein besserer eingefallen ist.

Watching these bloopers from the 1940s is surreal. Like I guess logically I had to know on some level that they made mistakes? But seeing it is something else 😂

Humans really have always been people.

Huge layoffs inbound for Xbox throughout 2027.

Compulsion and Double Fine will thankfully become independent, but what a fucking gut punch.

[ayeforscotland]

Thank fuck Compulsion are retaining IP rights on their titles, especially South of Midnight.

There are claims that Xbox have cut ‘14 layers of management’ from some studios. This appears to be nonsense.

One BGS (The Bethesda Games Union) have said that they have lost dozens of programmers, designers, artists and testers - some of whom have worked at Bethesda for decades.

Huh. Cutting the American Care Act led to dramatic reductions in the number of Americans who have health insurance. Nothing likely to go wrong now. Right?

The anti-communist, white supremacist neo-Confederates who marched on the National Mall during Trump’s “State Fair” rode public transportation to get to the event.

It’s different when “we” do it, I guess.

It’s always been my contention that Jaws was the first X-files.  You have cold open death, fish out of water lawman, scientist friend doing autopsies, corporate types trying to suppress investigation, final showdown with the monster.  X-files just never had a Quint.

Trump, describing the Civil War in his speech last night:

“It was a very big, big deal at the time."

Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.

I held onto this for six whole months. It was soooo hard waiting.

Huh. Who’d ever have thought it? Donald Trump enriching himself with insider trading?

“President Donald Trump made 327 stock purchases a day before his announcement that he was pausing his “Liberation Day” tariffs, sending the markets soaring, his financial disclosure report reveals.

The purchases were made on April 8, 2025, six days after Trump initiated a global trade war on April 2, slapping import taxes on goods from nearly every other country, which saw the markets tumble.

Trump bought between $100,001 and $250,000 in shares of Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Nvidia on April 8, according to CNBC analysis of his financial disclosure.Then, on the morning of April 9 before the markets opened, the president posted on Truth Social, “This is a GREAT time to move your COMPANY into the United States of America, like Apple, and so many others, in record numbers, are doing.” A few minutes before the markets opened, he posted, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”

Later that morning, he announced he was pausing the trade tariffs for 90 days, and tech companies, including the ones Trump purchased stock in, saw their shares rebound.”
