Well that changes the matter. I hadn't noticed anything to that effect in what I watched (i.e. his videos from the past months). What's unfortunate is that he is unusually effective in appealing to a certain kind of people who could otherwise easily be lost to right-wing propaganda. Can you or anyone suggest alternatives who are good at convincing this kind of audience?

Personally I'm pretty sure that Mamdani first got Trump to respect him (for his unusual steadfastness), fear him even (for his ability to rally broad support), and then, against this unspoken background unsettling Trump, showed Trump how he could benefit in terms of public esteem by working together with him. Among other things, Mamdani obviously also drove home the sentiment to Trump that they share the same fate of being a very smart and important person "in here" who is being treated very unfairly by a laughable media class "out there", and managed to bond over that.
Gut health is important and well worth talking about. Note, though, that the serotonin and dopamine produced there will never cross the blood–brain barrier, so the effects that the gut has on mental health (which are very real) come about differently.
Selbst wenn der Eigenbedarf aktuell gedeckt ist, bietet die Kontrolle des venezolanischen Öls immer noch gewaltige Vorteile:
- Vergrößerter Anteil am Kuchen kann verringerten Ölpreis mehr als wettmachen
- Man kann China von einer wichtigen Quelle abschneiden
- Perspektivisch auch mehr Einfluss auf andere ölimportierende Staaten
- Option, den Ölpreis bei Bedarf in den Keller zu drücken – großer Einfluss auf OPEC-Staaten einschl. Russland
- Die neuen Rechenzentren verlangen ggf. eine Anpassung der Bedarfsrechnung (neue Ölkraftwerke werden jedenfalls schon gebaut)
- Wahlkampf durch verringerte Benzinpreise
Und die eigene kleine Clique kann von sowas natürlich in jedem Fall noch steinreicher werden.
Bei Kuba geht es vermutlich um
- Elimination eines Alternativmodells, Warnung an andere sozialrevolutionäre Bewegungen
- Kontrolle der US-nahen Landmasse (leichtere Kontrolle des Golfs von Mexiko)
- Rache für das „Trauma“ der dort stationierten Mittelstreckenraketen und diverse Niederlagen im kalten Krieg
- Belohnung/Gefolgschaftssicherung der Exilkubaner
- Real Estate für friends and family
Or in the words of Cory Doctorow:
Enter the tech-bro, app in hand. The tech-bro's most absurd (and successful) ruse is "it's not a crime, I did it with an app." As in "it's not money-laundering, I did it with an app." Or "it's not a privacy violation, I did it with an app." Or "it's not securities fraud, I did it with an app." Or "it's not price-gouging, I did it with an app," or, importantly, "it's not a labor-law violation, I did it with an app.
Wenn das von der irischen Regierung kommt, ist besonders Schlimmes zu erwarten.
Die haben im September eine frühere Facebook-Managerin, die aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach weiterhin vertraglich zu Wohlverhalten gegenüber Facebook verpflichtet ist, ist zur obersten Datenschutzbeauftragten gemacht.
Andererseits: Wenn ein Böllerverbot jetzt auf die Initiative der GdP hin gepusht wird, hat das immerhin den Vorteil, dass diese bei vielen Wählern wirklich unpopuläre Maßnahme sich dann im Erfolgsfall nicht so leicht auf die Kappe linksgrüner Verbotspolitik™ schreiben lässt. Das kann man durchaus gegen die Probleme am Petitionstext abwägen.
One of the medications, atomoxetine, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, increases levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter norepinephrine by blocking its reuptake (...). In sleep apnea patients, it’s known that the decline of norepinephrine during sleep contributes to a loss of tone among upper airway muscles, particularly the genioglossus. The other compound, called aroxybutynin, is a chemically tweaked form of a drug used to treat overactive bladder. It blocks certain receptors for acetylcholine, preventing this neurotransmitter from inhibiting the nerve that enervates genioglossus—effectively toning up the muscle during sleep.

Even assuming that staying on X to influence the narrative (a) works and (b) is worth the downsides, one needs to adopt the policy of making e.g. the Mastodon account the default, and post on X only a subset of what is posted on Mastodon. And of course be verbal about this.
