Drugstores with Teslas?

They are clearly making way too much money. Maybe we should no longer support these drugstores.

German drugstore chain shuns Teslas over Musk’s support for Trump – German drugstore chain Rossmann said on Tuesday it would no longer buy Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab cars for its corporate fleet due to CEO Elon Musk’s support for U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The drugstore chain, which is among the largest in Europe, said its decision was with immediate effect and due to what it called an “incompatibility” between statements by Musk and the values that Tesla represents.

He was given a time-out. By the Brain Police.

This guy isn’t a racist and everybody knows it. He was just making a point by intentionally using an “incorrect” word. But the Woke never get the point. It’s just not their thing. Boris, leaving the Greens is probably the best thing that ever happened to you.

It’s that good. Just like the Berlin International Film Festival itself. They’re both so good they’re for the greater good.

Too bad their films are always so no good.

The Berlin International Film Festival unveiled the competition lineup for its 2023 edition on Monday morning, naming the 18 movies that will compete for the coveted Gold and Silver Bears at the 73rd Berlinale…

Berlin 2023, taking place a year after Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion, will have a major focus on Ukraine. Even the festival’s official pin will be in the Ukraine colors of blue and yellow…

In a late addition, Superpower, Sean Penn and Aaron Kaufman’s documentary on Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Russian invasion of the country and the ongoing war, will have its world premiere in Berlin’s out-of-competition Berlinale Special section.

The Virtue signaling industry is high gear again. And morally intoxicanted, as usual.

It’s a dangerous combination but we’re used to it, right? Cowardly search for and find something that might offend somebody somewhere, remove it from its historical context and then call yourself brave as you loudly apply a current attitude to the long-dead past.

German publisher pulls Winnetou books amid racial stereotyping row – Ravensburger Verlag reacts as debate rages over depiction of Native American character in children’s books.

A German publisher has announced it is withdrawing two new books paying tribute to a highly popular character in children’s fiction after facing accusations of racism and cultural appropriation.
