Der Zorn der Frauen gg. Männer wächst zusehends. Aber Schwestern, wir sind noch lange nicht wütend genug!!!
Und: Gute Typen, wir brauchen endlich Eure aktive Solidarität!

I‘m in Munich, the #Oktoberfest is on. Google is doing billboard ads for Gemini that are just „Tell me 5 Bavarian phrases that I can use in a beer tent“.

Holy shit. 2 years ago that would have been a static HTML page on the city‘s web server.

Now this fucking gimmick is what a trillion dollar behemoth is advertising for because it’s the foundation of the western financial system or something.
