The author from Brandenburg wrote that the evening was the most relaxed since he opened his account on X, formerly Twitter. He received no hate comments from AfD supporters. He also thanked Volodymyr Zelensky and urged him to continue shutting down the Russian data centers. Donald Trump does not like that, he added. #Entspannung #Politik #Zukunft (translated)

Snicklink predicted that jobs involving screen activities would become irrelevant within the next 18 months with about an 85 percent probability. Occupations with direct human contact, in his estimation, would still exist for a few more years with the same probability; he made a sexual joke about this. For jobs in between, he expected varying developments, but often a loss or a strong reduction. Craft occupations would, in his estimation, last somewhat longer, but would mostly become irrelevant within seven to eight years at the latest – except for highly specialized manual tasks. The German auto industry would soon be "dead as a mouse"; he believes that studying and obtaining a driver's license are also a complete waste of time. Snicklink also wrote that existence would no longer depend on monetizable performance in the future – regardless of who governed the country. Whether this development is good or bad, he believes, remains to be seen. #Zukunft #Arbeitsplatz #Technologie (translated)

Julian Adrat criticized BMW and wrote that the company is in free fall. He claimed that BMW is worth less on the stock market than Elon Musk's lesser-known subsidiaries and has provided company cars to politicians from the Left and Greens, while simultaneously withdrawing them from car-friendly AfD politicians. Adrat described this as evidence that contempt for democracy and deindustrialization go hand in hand, and as a betrayal of BMW workers. #BMW #Politik #Wirtschaft (translated)

RobynHD criticized that the Bundestag had rejected two motions to abolish the tax-free Bitcoin holding period the day before. The Greens had called for cryptocurrency gains to be taxed at the personal income tax rate, regardless of the holding period. A total of 132 representatives voted in favor, while 445 voted against. A motion from the Left Party had also failed. This proposed, among other things, taxation akin to stocks, an exit tax, and a EU-wide trading ban for certain proof-of-work coins. The CDU/CSU, SPD, and AfD rejected the proposals. However, the vote does not mean that the abolition is off the table, RobynHD wrote. The SPD-led Ministry of Finance is working on a reform that is also supposed to end the one-year holding period. Bitcoin purchased from 2027 onwards should be taxed at a basic rate of 26.375 percent; existing holdings would be protected. The cabinet is expected to address the proposal on October 14. RobynHD acknowledged that other legislative proposals had been up for decision during the vote. Nonetheless, from the author's perspective, it is alarming that work continues on the abolition despite the clear rejection. The Union could still prevent the reform, but RobynHD has little hope. #Bitcoin #Krypto #Steuern (translated)

So where is the truth here, where is the honesty? Where is the stalemate? (...) This is called unwillingness! "So where is the truth here, where is the honesty? Where is the stalemate? (...) This is called unwillingness!", said Zelensky on Thursday evening in an emotional speech, referring to Rubio's statements in Portugal. #Selenskyj #USAHilfe #UkraineKrieg (translated)

Heimatgefühl criticized that Hendrik Wüst had shown respect to Mario Voigt. Voigt had explained that he had withdrawn the lawsuit due to the associated time expenditure. The author wrote that someone who is in the right would not simply withdraw a lawsuit and would not let a real doctorate be taken away from them. Therefore, in his opinion, Voigt presumably remains a plagiarist. Heimatgefühl interpreted the support from within the ranks as characteristic of the CDU and predicted that the party would soon be in single digits. It deserved that. #CDU #Politik #Klage (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that the federal government wants to combat undeclared work but simultaneously plans to reduce the tax bonus for craft services from 20 to 15 percent. The maximum amount should thus decrease from 1,200 to 900 euros. An honest invoice will be less worthwhile in the future, he wrote, and rhetorically asked what could go wrong. #Schwarzarbeit #Steuern #Handwerk (translated)

The article highlights the evolution of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in the fight against breast cancer, from Paul Ehrlich's initial idea of a magic bullet to recent advancements that have transformed treatment, especially in patients with different levels of HER2. #CáncerDeMama #Anticuerpos #InvestigaciónOncológica (translated)

"If you want to be honest, you have to admit that you are lying. You are not doing this for stability. You are only doing this because you are convinced that otherwise you will lose next time, also because of your divisions." And former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi goes a step further: He accuses Meloni of deliberately bending the rules so that she can continue to govern, even if she performs worse in the next election. #Wahlrecht #Meloni #Italien (translated)

"very honest discussion with each other about how we will tackle the tasks in the coming months" SPD faction leader Matthias Miersch said before the meeting that he expects "a very honest discussion with each other about how we will tackle the tasks in the coming months." #Koalitionsausschuss #Reformen #Bundeshaushalt (translated)

0⚡7 wrote that Merz did not comment on the AfD after the election in Saxony-Anhalt, but prohibited the Greens, SPD, and Left from forming a joint government. Katherina Reiche merely stated that the Left is a danger to Germany. The author asked whether, in light of this, there is still a firewall. #SachsenAnhalt #Politik #AfD (translated)

Manuel Ostermann thanked Marcel Bohnert and the members of the Bundeswehr for their service and stated that soldiers deserved respect regardless of political views. He wrote that a soldier had been refused a handshake and described this as a matter of decency. Ostermann called for more respect, decency, and solidarity. #Bundeswehr #Respekt #Zusammenhalt (translated)

The author questioned why they had not succeeded in showing sincere compassion. He acknowledged that they had been cold and narrow-minded and had used Netanyahu, far-right ministers, and the terror of settlers as a convenient excuse. Politically, they had often failed, emotionally even more so. #Mitgefühl #Politik #Emotionen #IL (translated)

GFrei.News reported that the German Chancellor claims Germany is at war with Russia. August 4 is treated as if Germany were attacked on that day like on September 11. The author described the alleged defense of a Russian combat drone by a bus driver with a bicycle kick and noted that the man was never seen again and his name became unknown. He mockingly speculated that the bus driver had been abducted by aliens and questioned whether the incident actually happened. Additionally, GFrei.News claimed that Russia has not retaliated so far because it expects a soon dissolution of the federal government. This, he hopes, will be replaced by a government with which Russia can negotiate again. He disparaged the current government. https://t.co/vvz2on8Kkh #Deutschland #Krieg #Russland (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf wrote that October 7, 2023, permanently changed Israel and left Jewish communities worldwide in shock, grief, and pain. She referred to more than 1,100 dead, 251 people taken hostage, torn-apart families, and thousands who had to leave their homes. Three years later, the attack remains part of Jewish people's lives, she wrote. She remembered the dead, the abducted, as well as families and communities whose lives had fundamentally changed. From the Holocaust and the massacre of October 7, she derives the commitment to advocate for Jewish life and to address grievances openly. Jews can no longer afford political correctness, Goldstein-Wolf wrote. She will confront those she considers part of the problem until the end and emphasized that displacement cannot take away Jews' self-respect. #Israel #Judentum #Erinnerung (translated)
