In einer Stunde ist es soweit

Mit dem zwölften Glockenschlag an diesem Mittwochmittag endet die Zeit, in der das Jahr 2000 unserer Gegenwart näher ist, als das Jahr 2050. Um 12:00 Uhr werden 8948 Tage, 12 Stunden und 1 Sekunde seit dem 31. Dezember 2000 vergangen sein und wir werden noch 8948 Tage und 12 Stunden bis zum 01. Januar 2050 vor uns haben.

Vielleicht ein Moment darüber zu reflektieren, wie ihr diese Zeit gerne verbringen würdet. Guten Rutsch!

Good Idea: Join us for #Unplugust

Social media isn’t just a harmless time-filler! It’s built to keep you hooked. The infinite scroll, the dopamine hits, the notifications timed to spike your stress?
All of it is designed to maximize your time on the app, not your wellbeing. And no, it’s not about lacking willpower, these platforms are engineered like digital slot machines, built to exploit your attention. You don’t have to quit the internet, but you can stop letting it use you. One powerful step is to take intentional breaks and reconnect with life offline.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join the Ministry for #Unplugust:
Where we are going fully AFK (away from keyboard) for the entire month of August. No doomscrolling, no feeds, just space to reset, reflect, and reconnect with what actually matters.

Reclaim your time. Reclaim your mind. Join us.

The eagerly awaited statement, made days before the frail Nobel peace laureate turns 90, puts to rest speculation, started by the Dalai Lama himself, that he may be the last of Tibet's spiritual leaders, ending a line that stretches back centuries. read more

Being neutral has been placed on this pedestal as peak maturity when neutrality only even benefits the oppressor.

Being neutral has never helped the victim. You just end up being a coward watching harmful shit play out.

Mark Schieritz von der »Zeit« glaubt, nur eine gemäßigte Politik löse die Probleme unserer Gegenwart. Wer Radikaleres fordert, bediene bloß die Sensationslust. Das ist politische Realitätsverweigerung.
