Fetti is out of the world cup team. Markus Mueller joins team Austrian for Engelberg. Unbelievable that austria is switching him out but who else should go?

1st page of my pjo FANFIC "The Moon"

Hello, my name is Selena di Angelo-Solace. I’m 14 years old. Up until a few months ago I was a perfectly normal, mortal, teenager.Was I a problem child?You could say that.But life was normal.I could start at any point, but things only really started to get strange back in April. It was finally spring break, and I decided to visit Mueller Lake Park with my friends. My house is only about 40 minutes away; they met me there so we could walk together.I should probably introduce them, shouldn’t I?Markus Sanchez and Alisa Goodman are basically the only friends I’ve been able to make in all my years of school. When I was younger (maybe 1st or 2nd grade?), my teachers (language arts and math especially) started to become concerned since I could never pay attention or follow directions. They told my dad and pa that it would help me if I got diagnosed for ADHD.It took a few weeks but eventually I was indeed diagnosed. I was moved into a different class and that basically decided the fate of my entire social life. I never really had friends to begin with, but at least normal people respected me. At the start, it seemed like everyone talked down on me, even though just a bit ago I was considered normal. I was so confused.The classroom was filled with sensory toys and kids crying and throwing tantrums. Even in a place I was supposed to feel seen I felt…well, like I shouldn’t have been there.My parents were with me every step of the way though. They also have ADHD as well as Dyslexia. They always knew exactly what to do, like they understood my unspoken language. And my support circle only grew when I met Markus and Alisa. Both had ADD so we all bonded over our overactive minds.The SpEd kids received their own few tables at the edge of the cafeteria, but me and my friends would sit up on the stage just above them, chatting away about our favorite things. We all only later learned that those are called “hyper-fixations”.Anyways, as they came up to the house, I was waiting in the kitchen while Pa was upstairs taking a nap. I heard the doorbell ring, immediately grabbing my backpack and water bottle before turning the handle.“Selena! My GAL!” Alisa exclaimed. She wrapped her arms around me into a restrictive hug. After a while she let go with a soft grunt. “Ohhh! it has been WAY too long since we’ve done something like this!”Markus speaks up, “You mean…walking to the park?”“Yes! It’s been like…” She slowly counts on her fingers. “A whole WEEK!”I roll my eyes while walking down the front stoop of my house.Alisa then insisted that we skip down the rest of my driveway while humming “Follow the Yellow Brick Road”. Me and Markus both nodded to each other since it did actually sound funny.We linked our arms together and skipped until we met the street. It’s basically your average run-down neighborhood; cars parked on the street, bikes laying in front lawns, random tennis balls…but I miss it. The sticky tar and evil, weird looking pigeons too. It used to be so simple.We moved there shortly after my parents, Will and Nico di Angelo-Solace, adopted me and my younger sister, charlotte, out of foster care. Apparently, my Dad, Will, was born in Austin. Though he could never stay long since Grandma used to be a famous country singer that would routinely go on U.S wide tours. (Sorry if it's formatted weird, I had to copy paste into here)

HYSTERESIS | Robert Seidel | Soundtrack by Oval from Robert Seidel on Vimeo.

HYSTERESIS Experimentalfilm Cinemascope 2K, color, 2.35:1 Dolby 5.1 D 2021

Film: Robert Seidel Music: Oval Performance: Tsuki Title Design: Bureau Now 5.1 Master: David Kamp Funding: FFA Filmboard Special thanks to Miriam Eichner, Carolin Israel, Falk Mueller and Paul Seidel

In tech companies, universities and artist studios, machines work through and learn the history of mankind. Copyright dissolves; distinctions between original, imitation or inferior reproduction erode. No origin, no responsibility, no clear bias - just a primordial soup that can be transformed into any form without questioning knowledge systems and hierarchies. In this silent, but radical restructuring of entire industries, the artist becomes a template of a future that is digitally assembled from a myriad of fragments of the past.

In the experimental film Hysteresis, Seidel’s analogue drawings and digital processing merge with the queer performance of Tsuki, whose movements improvise between Ballet, Butoh and Berlin club culture. In a fusion process, her image is recorded, fed back through Seidel’s devices and then projected onto her body. An expanding digital sphere beyond labels and identifications with gender, culminating in dehabitualised neural patterns and reconceived fabrics of intimacy beyond rational understanding. In a final step, the resulting sessions are edited and dissolved by machine-learning strategies into a constant flow of pulsating images and folded spatial configurations. The resulting Muybridgean silhouettes, baroque textures and bursting structures fluctuate between the second and third dimensions, unfolding free-floating gestures that unhinge the laws of nature. Meanwhile, delicate abrasions of the pictorial frame build bridges into contradictory concatenations of reality. The soundtrack by Oval (Markus Popp) incessantly corrodes this dense web of associations, threatening to dissolve the remaining fragile points of reference.

At a time when an overriding predictability is forced upon us all, the film celebrates the disruption of pattern recognition and the artistic corruption of results induced by artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning. With Hysteresis Seidel explores new grounds in his experimental practice and collaboration. Unveiling a frenetic, delicate and flamboyant visual language, that speaks to the hysteria and hysteresis in this historical moment. The artist wants to open a discourse about these unique modes of AI creation – with implications beyond the film and other media, to that singularity, where history collapses into a single point in the present.

[absurdthirst]

Hi, i not know if u take request for Markus Pike, if not you can do that with Whiskey (yeah i think they both deserves lots of love) 🥺, can u write something about the reader, her partner, that has a big crush on him and they had to do an undercover mission where they are fake married and they had to kiss to keep the cover up and it end fluff and perhaps smut? 😌 Thanks a lot in advance and stay safe!

***Okay...so this is the first time that I have written for Marcus and I can’t say that I’ve seen the Mentalist yet. So please be kind. 😬

Art Deal

“We are going to have to get comfortable with touching one another.” Marcus Pike looked up at the overview of their assignment, peering over at where Y/N was reading her own copy of the report.

“Wait, married couples touch each other?” Y/N faked a gasp and held her hand to her chest, giving him a scandalized look.

He had rolled his eyes, even as he was grinning and looked back down at the carefully constructed report. Her playful grin gave way to her nervously chewing on the bottom of her lip. Her eyes raked over her partner.

Marcus had been assigned to the Antiquities and Art division of the Washington DC office of the FBI six months prior. He had come from Texas with a determined attitude and a broken heart.

She couldn’t help but develop a thing for Marcus. Whoever had broken his heart was a fool. The kind and considerate man she worked with was also extremely attractive. While he had started out clean shaven, lately he had sported a bit of scruff that just added to the appeal of the well cut suits he wore.

She hoped that this didn’t end up embarrassing her or blowing up in her face.

****

They were Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Stargis, a couple that were highly interested in the Impressionist era paintings that had recently been rumored to be available. They were currently at a gathering of some of the most prolific art smugglers in the world. It was a weekend event, thrown at a summer estate in the Hamptons. Everyone staying at his invitation.

Marcus had a hand on her lower back, the warmth traveling across her bare skin. Her dress had no back, draped over her form. His own suit was elegant and fitted to him specifically for the mission. They had to look every inch of the wealthy couple they were pretending to be.

The ring she wore on her left hand was more than their combined salaries for the year. Marcus had grinned boyishly as he had presented her with the box, claiming he had thought she would like that one. She preferred emerald cut to pear cut diamond, but she had to admit that the setting was stunning.

Thomas Mueller, their host for the evening and the black market broker for the artwork approached them, three glasses of champagne in his hand. His eyes flashed with greed as he saw her hand reach for the pro-offered flute. Marcus took the other one and turned to Thomas.

“This is quite the party.” He observed, taking a small sip of the crisp champagne.

Y/N hummed her agreement and turned to Thomas. “Yes, it certainly is. Thank you for the invitation.”

Thomas watched the pair while taking a drink from his own flute. “Yes, well your escrow deposit cleared and the background check show that you weren’t cops.” He laughed at the comment.

Y/N and Marcus laughed with him. “But one thing wasn’t clear.” Thomas said, staring at Y/N intently. “Your wedding date was only two months ago, but Anthony here said you had been married for three years.”

Marcus’ fingers curled around her back, the information had been logged into the system incorrectly. A small detail that could cost them the bust, or even their lives if Thomas decided they were a threat.

Y/N looked up adoringly at Marcus. “Technically both are true, right honey?” She cooed at him.

His brown eyes looked down at her in awe. “Yes, baby.” He leaned down and bumped her nose with his before turning back to Thomas. “Why don’t you tell him the story, you love how everything worked out.”

She nodded and breathlessly laughed, bringing Thomas’ attention to her cleavage. “Well, three years ago, Anthony and I were married in Morocco, but someone-” Y/N nudged Marcus in the ribs lightly “didn’t take the marriage certificate to the consulate.”

“Baby, I was too busy being entranced by my bride.” Marcus gave Thomas a conspiratorial grin and a wink. “Would you tear yourself away from your honeymoon to file paperwork with boring government officials?”

Y/N blushed prettily as she swatted at Marcus’ chest. “Anyway, when we were revising our wills this year, our lawyer informed us that we were in fact not married. So we legally filed our certificate two months ago.”

Marcus squeezed her a bit closer. “Really it was just an excuse to take her away for another honeymoon.”

She knew that they were supposed to act like they were completely in love, given the story they had just given. But their cover story had said they were in Morocco three years prior, so it was the first thing she could think of. Marcus had sold it with the sly grin he had shot Thomas and that wink. Now they really needed to put his nagging thoughts to rest. She turned to her partner and stretched her neck out as she pushed up on her toes slightly.

She caught his slight intake of breath as she drew closer, reading his realization of her intent in his eyes as they flickered down to her lips. She tried to ignore the shiver that ran through her as his hand left her back to cup her jaw as he lowered his head and met her halfway for their kiss.

The first touch of their lips was like an introduction. But she didn’t think that Thomas could tell that it was the first time they had ever kissed. His thumb stroked her chin before pressing down on it slightly, opening her mouth as his tongue swept inside to mingle with hers. Y/N melted into him at the feeling of him mapping out her mouth, whimpering delightedly into his mouth.

An awkward cough broke them apart. Marcus bumped her nose with his again before turning back to Thomas with an apology. “Sorry, if you were kissing her, you’d get carried away too.”

Thomas looked over at Y/N’s flushed and dazed expression. “I’m sure I would. You’re a lucky man, Anthony.” He looked over her shoulder and saw another couple enter the room. “Excuse me, enjoy the rest of the evening and the auction will start tomorrow after brunch.”

They decided to retire for the evening, not wanting to press their luck by making their host suspicious. Marcus had kept his hand on her lower back, right above the swell of her ass as they ascended the stairs that led to the suite they had been given for the weekend.

She was going to apologize once they had entered the safety of the room. They had swept it earlier for bugs, and Y/N had a small frequency jammer concealed in the bottom of her portable jewelry safe.

Her plan went right out the window as soon as Marcus closed the door. She found herself pressed up against it as he looked down at her, his breathing a bit irregular as he reached for the lock. She heard the quiet snick of the latch as it sealed them into the luxurious room for the night.

“Y/N.” He whispered, a question buried in just the sound of her name. She watched as his eyes flickered down to her lip where she was chewing on it, his pupils growing a bit wider as his own teeth raked over his lip.

When she nodded he dove in, slanthing his mouth over hers in a combination of hunger and tenderness. Y/N moaned at the feel of his tongue against her again as his arms went around her. He poured himself into the kiss for long minutes, licking to her mouth and making her press into him.

“Marcus.” She panted quietly, mindful of the fact that someone could be passing by the door.

He pulled back, his own eyes glazed over as he tugged her away from the door and to the large bed that dominated the suite. “You want to stop?” He asked, taking a deep breath to try to compose himself.

She pulled her hand out of his to reach for the thin straps at her shoulders, letting them fall down her arms and allowing the dress to pool at her waist. He swallowed hard as he pulled his jacket off and tossed it over a chair. He started unbuttoning his shirt as his eyes drank in her naked breasts.

He groaned as she pushed the thin material of her dress over her hips and let it fall to her feet, leaving her in a scrap of lace that covered her hips and her high heels. She stepped out of the pool of silk and moved towards him.

Marcus started yanking his shirt out of his trousers and ripping the rest of the button open frantically. “Gorgeous.” He praised.

She didn’t even remember how they got to the bed. As soon as she reached him, they had clung to one another. In a passionate tangle of teeth, tongues, hands and legs they sprawled out on the pillowy mattress. Instead of immediately sliding inside her, Marcus paused, bumping against her nose again to get her attention.

“Yes, Marcus, yes.” She whispered.

HIs lips covered hers as his hips shifted forward, sliding into her. Her legs wrapped around his waist as they moaned into each other. His pace was steady, even as the passion rose, his hips kept an even rhythm.

It was a delirious kind of ecstasy. Each thrust was building the twisting tension in her core. Making her rise to meet him as he rocked into her. Their mouths stayed connected as they moved together. Y/N clung to him tighter as she started to feel her orgasm rush over her.

“That’s it, baby.” He murmured against her lips as she clamped down on him. Marcus groaned at the feeling of her cum flooding over his cock as he continued to thrust into her. He closed his eyes as Y/N watched him.

His neck started to strain as she felt his thrusts get harder. He was getting close. He grunted her name quietly as he drove into her, stilling deep in her as his release wracked his body. She felt him tremble over her as he throbbed inside her. He head dropped down into the crook of her neck, breathing hard against her skin as his body relaxed onto hers.

Silence filled the room as they came down from their orgasms. Marcus shifted up onto an elbow and looked down at her tenderly. His hand brushed her hair back and he paused for a moment, his eyes speaking to hers before he kissed her again.

She didn’t know what would happen after this weekend, but she wasn’t going to regret this moment with her partner.

June 5, Leipzig - Alle zusammen gegen den Faschismus!

Die Kleinstpartei ADPM mit ihrem Vorsitzenden möchte mal wieder ihre kruden Hass- und Hetzbotschaften in Leipzig verbreiten. Dieses Treiben werden wir kritisch begleiten und rufen alle Leipzigerinnen und Leipziger auf, am 5. Juni ab 18 Uhr mit uns das Treiben der braunen Kornblumen-Kleckses offen kritisch zu beobachten. Poggenburg, der die AfD-Abspaltung AdPM erst Anfang diesen Jahres notgedrungen gegründet hatte, versucht neben rechten Netzwerken wie Pro Chemnitz vor allem die Reste von Legida zu mobilisieren. Da diese weiterhin in internen Streits verwickelt sind, sind wohl nur „Originale“ wie der für seine Antifa-Flagge berüchtigte Markus Johnke, der 2014 in den Stadtrat gewählte, aber nicht wählbare Alexander Kurth (damals NPD, über Die Rechte jetzt bei den Republikanern), Hans-Joachim Mueller, der erfolglos eine Qanon-Verschwörung in Leipzig zu etablieren versucht, oder die vielfach auffällige „OfD-Heidi“ Zeunert zu erwarten. Dennoch ist der Protest gegen die erstarkenden nationalistischen Netzwerke  wichtig. Der Ort ist noch offen. Vermutlich wird es der Simsonplatz, wie schon beim vergangenen mal. Wir informieren über alle social media Kanäle weiter.

Shortcuts & Delusions: Peak Trump Derangement Syndrome

With Rand Paul getting passed around cable news networks and social media platforms like a prison whore because he’s been giving speeches about Trump Derangement Syndrome, I feel like riding his coattails and shooting my mouth off about it as well.

On July 19, CNN.com ran “Outrage erupts over Trump-Putin ‘conversation’ about letting Russia interrogate ex-U.S. diplomat Michael McFaul.” This is the best example I’ve seen (though there have been so many to the point of media saturation it is probably impossible to qualify one as “best”) of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

From the article:

“At this week’s summit in Helsinki, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed what President Trump described as an “incredible offer” — the Kremlin would give special counsel Robert S. Mueller III access to interviews with Russians who were indicted after they allegedly hacked Democrats in 2016. In return, Russia would be allowed to question certain U.S. officials it suspects of interfering in Russian affairs.

One of those U.S. officials is a former U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul, a nemesis of the Kremlin because of his criticisms of Russia’s human rights record.

On Wednesday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to rule out the Kremlin’s request to question McFaul and other Americans. Asked during the daily press briefing whether Trump is open to the idea of having McFaul questioned by Russia, Sanders said President Trump is “going to meet with his team” to discuss the offer…

The willingness of the White House to contemplate handing over a former U.S. ambassador for interrogation by the Kremlin drew ire and astonishment from current and former U.S. officials. Such a proposition is unheard of. So is the notion that the president may think he has the legal authority to turn anyone over to a foreign power on his own…”

The rest of the article is more or less comprised of tweets by Trump’s detractors condemning the possibility of such an act by his administration.

I can guarantee that if Sanders/Trump said they would never agree to this deal, everyone would piss and moan that it’s proof Trump is trying to obstruct justice/Mueller’s investigation because it would mean he wouldn’t get to interrogate the 12 Russian hackers he indicted.

The people freaking out quoted in the story make it seem as though American agents will kick in McFaul’s door, cover his head with a blackout balaclava, shove him onto a military transport plane and send him to a black site in Siberia for Russia to waterboard him.

It doesn’t have to be like that: you can have American investigators travel to Russia to question the 12 Russian hackers Mueller indicted, under the supervision of Russian officials, and vice versa for Russian investigators to travel here to question McFaul under the supervision of American officials. But because Trump and Sanders said they were looking into the possibility of doing this, of cooperation between America and Russia to perform a mutually beneficial act, Trump haters say it’s evil incarnate. Don’t those with Trump Derangement Syndrome want Mueller to have a more thorough investigation of Russian/Trump collusion in the 2016 election?

The headline itself is proof that people who oppose the possibility of this questioning just suffer from TDS.

“Outrage erupts over Trump-Putin ‘conversation…'” Outrage over floating the idea of doing this, not even the event taking place.

Those with TDS are incapable of playing the long game; they can only lose their minds at anything and everything Trump says or does. They are compelled to go against their own best interests and goals just so that they can appear to oppose Trump.

And that’s the way it is, as far as you know.
