TheRealTom™ wrote that he first used Twitter in 2013 but rediscovered the platform during the night of the failed coup in Turkey in 2016. While TV channels only displayed breaking news according to his memory, he searched for "Turkey" on Twitter and found information, videos, and live streams from several cities that could be verified based on buildings and street names. For him, Twitter or X is both a channel for current information, discussions, and news, but not a portal for editorialized reporting. The platform is immediate and sometimes disturbing; many false or nonsensical posts are also published there, the evaluation of which he left to the collective assessment of the users. At the same time, it enables networking and pluralism, and some of what appears in newspapers the following day originated or spread there. Regarding the political orientation of the platform, he referred to studies suggesting that vulnerable and unstable people tend to be more left-leaning, while self-assured, down-to-earth individuals are more conservative. He believes the perceived political bias can be explained by the right being better at handling the platform; X itself is not right-wing. Leftists, on the other hand, prefer safer spaces like Bluesky, where divergent opinions could lead to exclusion, and consensus is sought. He personally prefers the more conflictual atmosphere on X. #Twitter #Information #Vernetzung (translated)

TheRealTom™ - Trusted Flagger wrote that regardless of how one evaluates a request to suspend military aid to the country that, according to him, destroyed the most important gas pipeline, the manner of reporting is the end of any journalism that can still be taken seriously. He emphasized that according to ntv, it is not an opinion piece, but a regular report on a session of the newly formed state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt. https://t.co/1t66F6QT0M #Journalismus #Pressefreiheit #Politik (translated)

The author wrote that Sigmar Gabriel was Vice Chancellor and SPD Chairman during the refugee crisis of 2015/2016. Gabriel is now trying to present himself as a solitary warning voice against the danger of social upheaval, but Lanz refuted him with one sentence. https://t.co/ioMfnzyQ4K #Flüchtlingskrise #SozialeThemen #Politik (translated)

The author criticized that ZDF reported for 15 minutes on the resignation of a minister, while a KfW study on the costs of the energy transition was only mentioned in a 37-second news block. He described the minister as incompetent. According to the study he cited, the energy transition is expected to cost six trillion euros by climate neutrality in 2045, which is 290 billion euros annually. The study mentions potential benefits such as reduced dependencies and savings. The author countered that, according to calculations by the Fraunhofer IEE, foreign dependence would still amount to 50 percent in the final expansion. He compared the annual costs of 290 billion euros to half of the federal budget, payments to more than 16 million pensioners, and the construction of one million apartments per year. In addition, he wrote that the study assumes the energy transition would succeed without deindustrialization and with a largely unchanged economic structure, including a steel industry that produces large quantities of green steel. #Energiewende #Klimaneutralität #Bundeshaushalt (translated)

The author wrote that Prince Reuß (74) has been in custody for nearly four years without a verdict in sight. He described him as Germany's most dangerous terrorist since Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe. https://t.co/9lVuTtbGEz #Terrorismus #Recht #Deutschland (translated)

TheRealTom wrote that a Bavarian constitutional judge wants to force representatives, who are free and only obligated to their conscience, to adopt a uniform, prescribed voting behavior through criminal law means. A former chancellor’s office minister demanded that half of the members of the inaugural session of a state parliament stay away en masse. The author interpreted both as a call to undermine democracy for personal gain and to turn it into an empty shell. #Demokratie #Rechtsstaat #Politik (translated)

TheRealTom™ wrote that Friedrich Merz accused Manuela Schwesig at a meeting of conducting her election campaign against him instead of against the AfD. Participants reportedly quoted Merz as saying that she had destroyed the democratic center. Schwesig dismissed the accusation as outrageous and offered him an appointment for further discussions. Afterwards, she turned around and left Merz standing. https://t.co/jh3L8IFQQH #Politik #Wahlkampf #Demokratie (translated)

The author wrote that the newly elected President of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, Tobias Rausch (AfD), pleaded in his inaugural speech for the adherence to parliamentary rules, even if these benefited the political opponent. Rausch opposed changes that should disadvantage the opponent and stated that he wanted to act neutrally and be the President of the State Parliament for all. He rejected a "settling of accounts with the past." #Politik #SachsenAnhalt #Demokratie (translated)

Unforgettable: When Kerkeling justifies his move from Berlin to Cologne with the "significantly more homophobic atmosphere" in the capital (and every viewer instinctively knows what the cause is), he becomes aware of the explosive nature of the statement, after which he distracts with a confusing analogy to the 1920s of the last century. #Kultur #Gesellschaft #Homophobie (translated)

Energiewende-Mythen #12 "Wir geben jedes Jahr 80 Milliarden Euro für Energieimporte aus, die wir uns sparen können!" Ist das so, wie u.a. Umweltminister Schneider (SPD) immer wieder behauptet? In Wahrheit ist exakt das Gegenteil richtig: Laut "Barometer Energiewende" des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Energiewirtschaft brauchen wir nach Abschluss der Transformation immer noch 50 Prozent Energie aus dem Ausland. Nach der eigenen Annahme des Fraunhofer IEE von 2020 ergibt das etwa 100 Milliarden, nach heutigen Preisen sogar 150 Milliarden, Jahr für Jahr. Dazu kommen im Inland die hohen Abschreibungskosten. Während Kern-, Kohle- und Gaskraftwerke über viele Jahrzehnte hinweg zuverlässig laufen, sind Batterien, Windräder und Photovoltaik nach 15 - 25 Jahren soweit degradiert oder technisch überholt, daß sie komplett getauscht werden müssen. Macht nochmal 80 bis 120 Mrd obendrauf. Pro Jahr. #Energiewende #Energie #Klimaschutz

Ich habe die vielen klugen Details rausgeschnitten, weil das nur Leckerbissen für Fachleute sind. Aber auch in der gestrafften Version hebt sich dieser Auftritt von Katherina Reiche mehrere Lichtjahre ab von dem vollkommen konzeptlosen grünen Märchenerzähler. Und sie zieht das durch wie ein erfahrener Steuermann in stürmischer See, trotz eines heillos überforderten Kapitäns. Beste Frau. #KatherinaReiche #Politik #Leadership

Erwachsene, gebildete Menschen mit ernsten Gesichtern erzählen uns jeden Tag diesen Unsinn. Er steht sogar im Grundgesetz. Alle "demokratischen Parteien" stehen voll und ganz dahinter und machen dem Bürger dafür das Leben zur Hölle. Es ist die vielleicht größte PsyOp in der Geschichte der Menschheit. #Demokratie #Gesellschaft #Politik
