Der ökonomische Kern des Trumpschen „Friedensplans“ für die besteht darin, künftig gemeinsam mit Erdöl, Erdgas, Kohle und Seltene Erden in der Arktis zu fördern und Europa in die Rolle des abhängigen Konsumenten zu zwingen.
Das bestätigen Dokumente, über die heute das Wall Street Journal berichtet.
Eine Ausbeutung der würde den sensiblen Lebensraum und das Weltklima gefährden.

Österreich wollte Härte bei abgewiesenen Asylwerbern zeigen. Vier Somalier wurden in Begleitung von mehreren Polizisten und Beamten des Innenministeriums, einem Arzt und einem Menschenrechtsbeobachter mit einem Charterflieger abgeschoben werden.

In Nairobi stellte sich heraus, dass die nötigen Dokumente fehlten. Nach 30 Stunden in der Transitzone des Flughafens mussten sie wieder zurückfliegen.

Das muss dieser #Asylmissbrauch sein, der uns so viel kostet.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Wrote almost 2k words for Jeko today. He had a very intense experience (which I don't want to spoil).

Tomorrow, I'll get them to safety, solve the problem they were sent to deal with and possibly wind down the story.

It sits at 4k words, so I'll easily stay under the limit. (She says. We'll see.)

Very happy how it's turning out, and I really hope it'll be a fun way to introduce the Winds & Pillars world.

Gute Nacht, Valheim.

Played a bit in a new hammer world, with a very strange continent build. I had to build a raft to reach the Eikthyr spot.

Also had a nice few hours with @Moni . Finishing the base, sorting everything into chests (Moni is the Queen of chests!), and turning our old base into a luxury barn for our 2* boar.

I made iron weapons and shields, and we might foray into the Mountain tomorrow. *rubs hands*

Screenshot from the game Valheim.

Rafts do not surf very well...

My little char is standing on a raft (made of a few large logs, a leather sail and some rope), as a huge wave is cresting over her, submerging the raft in water.

The water is green and translucent, the sky is blue, there are lush Meadows trees in the background. It is a safe moment, just very... wet.

#ScribesAndMakers Dec 11. People are often frustrated by the lack of engagement on social media. Do you have any ideas for how to improve it?

People who want more engagement can be talking about SUCH a wide variety of things, from "more clicks on my ad" to "deeper friendships".

So I guess improving it starts with clearly defining what you want from people (and asking yourself if that's a reasonable expectation).

#ScribesAndMakers 11 Some People are frustrated by the 'lack of engagement' on social media. Ideas for how to improve it?

We have people doing these hashtag games from Australia (and NZ?) and Europe and the Americas. This is never going to be a synchronous medium, and what tags people follow and how they curate their feeds will determine whether they see some posts at all.

The people complaining need to define what they think is missing, and whether it is compatible with the available medium.

#ScribesAndMakers 12/11. People are often frustrated by the lack of engagement on social media. Do you have any ideas for how to improve it?

I'm seldom disappointed because I don't expect anything.

My advice?

Stop trying to be interesting, and be interested instead.

#ScribesAndMakers 11/12: People are often frustrated by the lack of engagement on social media. Ideas?

I used to see this on twitter: people posting about yelling into a void, and imagining 'the algorithm' as a sentient creature with a vendetta against them. If you want to talk to people, just talk to people. If you want people to like your posts, post something interesting, and accept that other people might not find it as interesting as you do. If you want to go viral, you're nuts.

Dec 11 - People are often frustrated by the lack of engagement on social media. Ideas?

Remember that SoMe is not the world. I left the raging Nazi hellscapes (Twitter, FB, IG) at the beginning of the year - my mental health is better, my book sales have not dropped (admittedly, they have never been high) and I have more time and energy for things that matter.

#ScribesAndMakers Dec 11. People are often frustrated by the lack of engagement on social media. Any ideas for how to improve it?

I'd say by managing expectations, plus not only posting something &hoping people will react, but engaging with posts already here.

I find the hashtags here so useful. I leave a star for each toot I read (unless I absolutely disagree), I share those I feel need sharing, and I respond if there's something I want to say.

Don't think I can expect more from this medium.

#ScribesAndMakers 11, The lack of engagement on social media.

🤔 We should be weary about equating all social media.

Here, a "favourite/like" indicates that a community member read your thought, and appreciated it.

On the angry dead bird site, a greed-driven algorithm masquerading as something social will have pushed that thought to farm the ghosts of mildly amused smirks for resale purposes, degrading our thoughts to products.

Genuine social engagement requires an active interest in people.

I don't need to tell anyone here, on the fedi, we *collectively create* engagement by engaging with each other as people who like similar cool stuff. By and large, engagement in the marketing sense is bullshit. We have interpersonal trust and word of mouth.

If you want people to buy your cool stuff, say how in your bio, post a few links, and just be a decent person.

Day 11, and the Friends leave the mountains and travel to Edinburgh during the Scottish Enlightenment to do a bit of skating.

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar

Eleven of my simple scribbled Friend figures set in the Duddingston Lake scenery of a famous painting; The Skating Minister by Henry Raeburn. One figure stands outside the image, on the frame, holding a placard reading 11 and wearing a knitted Christmas tree hat with a star on top. 

Another nine all skate from left to right, in the pose of the Minister from the painting. The one in the front is wearing the frock coat and skates of the Minister from the painting.  They all wear Santa hats. 

The final figure is wearing a particularly tall white hat decorated with a bauble, rather than the Santa hat of the other skaters, and they skate from right to left. They've not fallen out with the others, just doing their own thing.

Wisst ihr noch, wie sich alle beklagt haben, dass Kanzler Scholz so wenig redet, so wenig kommuniziert?

Seit Merz im Amt ist, denke ich oft: Was wäre das jetzt eine Wohltat, wenn der Kanzler einfach mal NICHTS SAGT!
