Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

Eine Teilnahme hat also 16.000 Dollar gekostet. #Spahn war 5 Mal da. Jetzt frage ich mich - aus welchem Topf ist das bezahlt worden? @CDU gibt es dazu Antworten?

Ob da jemand in der Behörde versucht, in vorauseilendem Gehorsam der "Säuberung", die die AFD angekündigt hat, zu entgehen? Meine volle Solidarität mit dem Kollegen!

🚨🇩🇪 Germany just fined a citizen up to a month's income for posting "Lügenfritz" ("Lying Fritz") about Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a Facebook comment.

Politicians love to call themselves the guardians of democracy. But Germany has a special law that gives politicians MORE legal protection from insults than ordinary citizens get. The powerful, shielded from the powerless who criticize them.

Fining people for airing their opinion is how you take free speech away. It makes the government the editor of every sentence you publish.

They are allowed to burn 19 Yazidi girls but I’m not allowed to talk about it because it is considered Islamophobia. Got it.

Do not install VLC.

Once you install it, you can never go back.

You will never pay 99 cents for a codec again.
You will never buy QuickTime Pro again.
You will never renew RealPlayer Plus again.
You will never pay for Blu-ray decoder software again.
You will never see the words "this file format is not supported" again.

You will become the family tech support person. Forever. Your dad will call you at 11 PM because he downloaded a .mkv from somewhere and Windows refuses to open it.

Your answer will always be the same. "Install VLC."

And then the orange traffic cone will eat his problem in 4 seconds and he will call you a genius.

You did not do that. A French student named Jean-Baptiste Kempf did, in 1996, as a school project at École Centrale Paris. His roommate brought a traffic cone home from the street that year. They made it the logo. 6 billion downloads later, the cone is still undefeated.

Here is the wildest part:

The warning is real. Just not for you.

Apple sold QuickTime Pro for $29.99. VLC killed it. Apple shut it down in 2016.
Microsoft sold Windows Media Center for $9.99. VLC killed it. Microsoft shut it down with Windows 10.
RealNetworks charged $39.99 a year for RealPlayer Plus. VLC killed it.
Sony built Blu-ray to need a $79.99 licensed decoder. VLC ships with libdvdcss and a French court ruling that protects it.

The codec mafia spent 30 years building a tollbooth on every video file on Earth.

A guy whose GitHub location is literally "Coneland" walked through every tollbooth with a cone on his head and never paid a cent.

He was offered millions of dollars to sell it. He said no.

So yes. Do not install VLC. The codec industry has not recovered from the last 6 billion people who did.

100% Opensource.
100% Free.
100% Yours.

The biggest media companies on Earth spent three decades trying to charge you to play your own files.

One French student and a cone he found on the street made all of it pointless.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
