  1. Brian De Palma – „The Untouchables“ (1987)

    Mehr (maskuline) Star-Power geht eigentlich gar nicht: Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andy García und Robert De Niro in einem Film von Brian De Palma. Im Kanon der ganz großen Mafia-Filme hat dieser Film 1987 ganz eigene Maßstäbe gesetzt, die bis heute ziemlich unerreicht geblieben sind. Ganz, ganz großes Kino! (ARD, Wh.)

  2. **Banning isn't safety. It's losing visibility.** The #UAE 's new resolution setting a minimum age of 15 for #socialmedia use is well-intentioned, but as someone who's spent over a decade investigating online abuse, #fraud, and digital threats, I have to flag a critical flaw: outright bans don't remove risk, they remove oversight. When a platform is fully off-limits, a determined child doesn't disappear — they go around it. Fake birthdates, #VPN s, borrowed parental identities. The result isn't a safer child. It's the same child, now invisible to any age-aware safety system, with zero content filtering and zero mechanism restrictions (no screen-time caps, no algorithmic guardrails, no DM protections). Here's the part that doesn't add up: this resolution already requires platforms to implement "accurate and reliable age #verification mechanisms" to enforce the ban. That means the verification infrastructure — the hard, expensive part — has to exist either way. So why use it to lock kids out entirely, instead of using it to give them a properly restricted, age-appropriate experience? We already have a working model. #Instagram 's Teen Accounts and #TikTok 's under-18 protections don't ban younger users — they #verify age and then restrict what that age group can do: limited DMs, screen-time defaults, no late-night notifications, curated content. That's harm reduction, not prohibition. And it keeps the child visible to the system designed to protect them. What I do #support in this resolution the #ban on monetizing children's data through behavioral tracking. That's a rule enforced on platforms, not on individual #children — and it's actually enforceable. #Restriction works. #Prohibition just pushes the risk somewhere you can't see it.

    Mir fällt nur der Name gerade nicht mehr ein. Es könnte aber mit der #Prohibition, 🌱 #Cannabis, 🍸 #Alkohol, 🧀 #Zuckerpillen und 👨‍🦽‍➡️ #Konsumentenjagd zu tun haben. #Gesundheitswesen, #Medizin und #Dämonisierung von 🌱 #Hanf und seiner 👯 #Liebhaber:innen fällt mir noch ein und #Genderwahn 😀 #Gesundheitsminister und #Bayern assoziiere ich auch! Wer ist das?

    Die #SZ weiß mehr: ➡️ sueddeutsche.de/bayern/cannabi

  4. Die strikte Verbotspolitik hat viel unnötiges Leid erzeugt. Weltweit. Nicht nur bei #Cannabis

  5. @wdr #KamalaHarris ist die Politikerin, von der ich den Eindruck habe, dass sie versteht und nicht ideologisch dogmatisch dem Herrn #Anslinger hinterher läuft. Sie weiß um die Wirkungen der #Prohibition und spricht es ehrlich aus. Das würde ich mir von allen Politikern und Politikerinnen wünschen.

  6. Fun fact: Arkansas is the only state where the Prohibition Party has reached full ballot listing for its presidential candidate. Because this state needed to broadcast how it's stuck in the past any harder.

  7. When it comes to #reporting on #NorthAmerica’s #OverdoseCrisis — the worst in our history — #misleading articles can increase #stigma against people who use #drugs, skew the public’s understanding of the issue, inspire #BadFaith policy and make it more difficult for other #journalists to gain the trust and respect of #MarginalizedCommunities.

    Which brings me to a splashy, new piece of drug #journalism from U.K.-based newspaper the Telegraph, falsely claiming that #decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of drugs “made #Vancouver the #fentanyl capital of the world.”

    The Telegraph’s story, like others before it, makes a number of other #misleading claims, including stating that #SafeSupply programs, which provide pharmaceutical alternatives to street drugs, are making the situation worse because that supply is being sold to street users, including young people. Some safe supply is being diverted, but there is no evidence that it’s led to more deaths or teens forming new addictions.

    Reporting like this misses important context about the #DrugCrisis, allowing #politicians to drum up fear about #HarmReduction rather than confront how decades of #prohibition have impacted the current #FentanylCrisis. After the 2010s crackdown on prescription pain pills, many people dependent on #opioids turned to heroin instead. Eventually, #DrugTraffickers began cutting heroin with fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times stronger, that is also cheaper and simpler to make and smuggle.
