JA Westenberg<p>As the world economy buckles under the weight of one man's delusions, the rest of the nationalist world is waking up to the fact that Trump was never a friend, never an ally, never an example.

ghoermann<p>Moin Allerseits, der Termin für den neuen Linux Workshop steht jetzt fest: 26.4. im Mercator-Treff in der Wik. Mehr Info gibts demnächst. Was wir noch brauchen, sind ein paar Betreuer mehr. Wer sich also schon ein wenig mit Linux (Mint) auskennt bzw. damit arbeitet und am 26.4. Zeit hat, kann sich gerne bei mir melden. Die Zielgruppe sind keine Nerds, sondern ganz normale Anwender, die nach dem Ende von Win 10 ihren Rechner weiter nutzen möchten.</p>

Dave Troy :toad:<p>To the rest of the world: we are aware that the United States has been captured by insane sociopaths and apologize for this inconvenience.

Northants Greens<p>Labour are circulating a leaflet bragging that they’ve delivered “the four biggest deportation flights in UK history”.</p><p>Their approach of trying to out-Farage the Reform party is sickening and only results in more unnecessary suffering.</p><p>What we need is safe, legal routes.</p>

Lana<p>Still playing with the colors and doing monochromatic studies. This one separates really nicely when painting.<br>I also did some mixes too, to see how it reacts.</p><p>But honestly most fun was to paint this fun "hair" on the bird, which I painted without using white or masking fluid.<br>And I'm super happy how it turned out.
