September 2, 20241 yr Author https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/01/europe/far-right-germany-regional-election-win-intl-latam/index.html Quote Germany’s far-right party AfD set to win one state election, and is level in another, exit polls show Berlin CNN — For the first time since 1945 a German far-right party is projected to win in regional elections, exit polls show. Founded in 2013, far-right Alternative für Deutschland – or Alternative for Germany (AfD) - is on track to claim victory in state parliamentary elections in the country’s eastern region of Thuringia, initial exit polls by German state broadcaster ZDF show. AfD is projected to get 33.5% of the vote, well ahead of the conservative party Christian Democrats (CDU) with 24.5%, according to ZDF. In Saxony, which also held a regional election Sunday, the two parties are neck and neck, according to state broadcaster ZDF. Newly founded left-wing party, the Sarah Wagenknecht alliance – or BSW – looks to be coming in third in both Thuringia and Saxony, where roughly 1.7 million people and 3.3 million were eligible to vote, respectively. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) is projected to get disappointing results in both states. The local elections results in Thuringia and Saxony are seen by many as a litmus test for Scholz and his coalition partners ahead of next year’s general elections. While the AfD has put immigration front and center of its agenda, the coalition built by Scholz is creaking, with infighting, disagreements about policy and accusations that elected officials no longer represent the values they were initially elected for. New left wing populist party also doing well with a 3rd place finish.

September 4, 20241 yr RFK stuff aside, have the Democrats really crafted such a bill? Sounds like a good idea depending on the fine print. I support free markets, but prices are out of control, and kids will never be able to afford them at this rate.

September 6, 20241 yr Almost genius Authorities allege Smith set up "thousands" of "Bot Accounts" on streaming platforms and automated them to "continuously stream songs that he owned" to generate royalties for him to pocket. He "eventually turned to artificial intelligence" to "obtain the necessary number of songs for his scheme to succeed," the attorney’s office alleged. The AI-generated songs, obtained through an AI music company CEO and a music promoter, bore song and artist names that Smith purportedly "randomly generated" to give the false impression they had been made by actual musicians, according to the attorney’s office.

September 13, 20241 yr Quote 'I'm shooketh': Person finds Lego up nose nearly 26 years after putting it there as kid A person in Arizona reported recently finding a piece of a Lego man stuck up their nose and said they believe it had been there since they were a kid, more than a quarter of a century ago. "Lego stuck in my nose for nearly 3 decades finally comes out? I CAN SMELL COLORS NOW," the caption of a Sept. 1 video clip Andi Norton, 32, posted on Instagram reads. Norton, who lives in Phoenix and uses they/them pronouns, said they always wondered why they had "multiple breathing issues" growing up including sleep apnea and asthma. In the video, Norton said sometime in the 90s around age "six or so," they shoved a Lego man piece up their nose. Norton said their mother thought she'd got it out, but a small piece of the toy secretly remained in Norton's nostril. It stayed there for the next 26 years, Norton said. Norton said they found Lego after blowing nose Norton said the shocking discovering took place when they recently blew their nose. "I was in the shower. " Norton said in the clip. "And my doctor has told me, with the dry hot summer months, it's really helpful to blow your nose while you're in the shower, because the humidity of the steam and everything... and today I blew my nose and low and behold a Lego shot out." "I feel like this Lego piece has been the culprit for the last 26 years," Norton said, holding up a plastic bag with the toy inside. "I am shooketh. I can breathe out of this side of my nose now, and it's fantastic. I haven't been able to do that since I was a child." USA TODAY has reached out to Norton. Norton said in the clip they were planning to take the Lego piece to their doctor to get checked out.

September 22, 20241 yr In an Unprecedented Move, Ohio Is Funding the Construction of Private Religious Schools The state is giving millions in taxpayer dollars directly to private schools to help them renovate and expand their campuses. It may be the next frontier in the push to increase the use of school vouchers, proponents say. https://www.propublica.org/article/ohio-taxpayer-money-funding-private-religious-schools Are those schools paying taxes? We are, of course, okay with giving to good clean Christian schools, where you child can be molested, but only indoctrinated in a good way. Any Muslim schools qualify?
