Manche Menschen stolpern in die Tattoo-Branche – Isi Siebert ist hineingewachsen. In dieser Folge nimmt uns die Münchnerin mit auf ihren Weg vom undankbaren Einzelhandel, in dem sie sich oft ausgenutzt gefühlt hat, über das Shopmanagement im Corpse Painter bis hin zur Tätowiererin, die heute große, düstere Projekte mit einer Selbstverständlichkeit zieht, die ihr in den ersten Jahren noch reihenweise Nervenzusammenbrüche beschert hat. Isi erzählt offen, wie es sich anfühlt, an einer Messlatte zu wachsen, die von Anfang an ganz oben hängt, warum sie ihr eigener härtester Kritiker ist – und wieso ausgerechnet ein Cover-up über einem „schwarzen Blumenkohl" zu den schönsten Momenten ihres Jobs zählt.Doch es geht um weit mehr als Tinte: Seb und Isi sprechen über ihre langjährige Verwurzelung in der Fetisch- und Latex-Szene, über OnlyFans und den Aufwand, der hinter dem vermeintlich leichten Geld steckt, und über die wachsende Prüderie der Social-Media-Algorithmen. Besonders ehrlich wird es, wenn Isi schildert, warum sie sich auf einer Kinky-Party sicherer fühlt als in jedem normalen Club, was Männer in ihren DMs so alles abladen – und warum 160.000 Follower für sie ungefähr so viel wert sind wie Monopoly-Geld. Eine Folge über Selbstbehauptung, Leidenschaft und ein Studio, das sich anfühlt wie Familie.Isi Siebert findest du hier auf Instagram.[ WERBUNG ]Bei unseren Werbepartnern könnt ihr richtig sparen - darunter bei Neonsfeer, Murostar, Killer Ink, Cheyenne Tattoo Equipment, CoalBlack oder Caos Nero!

Was dem FC Bayern verwehrt bleibt, ist dem deutschen Schiedsrichter Daniel Siebert gelungen: Er darf am 30. Juni im Finale der Champions League auf dem Rasen stehen. Nach seiner guten Leistung im Halbfinal-Rückspiel zwischen dem FC Arsenal und Atlético Madrid (1:0) setzte ihn der Fußball-Kontinentalverband Uefa für das Endspiel in Budapest an. Dort treffen die Londoner auf Bayern-Bezwinger und Titelverteidiger Paris-Saint Germain. Almuth kritisiert daher, dass die Fifa bei der Weltmeisterschaft auf Siebert verzichten wird. „Ich bin der Meinung, dass die Nominierung der WM-Schiedsrichter und WM-Schiedsrichterinnen nicht Monate vorher feststehen sollte. Die Leistungen, besonders im Saison-Endspurt, müssen einfließen“, sagt sie. Roman berichtet von internen Diskussionen unter den deutschen Referees: „Dort ist man sich einig, dass Daniel Siebert eine WM-Teilnahme ebenfalls verdient gehabt hätte.“
On this episode, we sit down with Morgan Siebert, curator of the Super Museum, for a conversation about preserving the legacy of the Man of Steel and celebrating one of pop culture's most enduring icons. Morgan shares stories from the museum's incredible collection of comics, props, toys, and memorabilia, discusses what it's like running a museum dedicated to Superman, and reflects on how the character has evolved across generations of fans. The episode also dives into the history of the Superman Celebration, rare collectibles, and the unique role Metropolis, Illinois plays as Superman's hometown in the real world.

Noticias del día. El Atlético se queda sin final de la Champions. Quejas contra el árbitro Siebert. Previa del Bayern-PSG. El Rayo ya está en Estrasburgo. Polideportivo.
El Atlético de Madrid se despide del sueño de la Champions League en el peor momento posible, precisamente a las puertas de la final. Los de Simeone, que tras una segunda parte ilusionante en el Metropolitano confiaban en asaltar el Emirates, han caído con un gol de Saka y una importante polémica alrededor del árbitro del partido, el alemán Daniel Siebert.El equipo rojiblanco reclamó un penalti claro de Calafiori sobre Griezmann en la segunda parte, cuando el italiano pisaba la bota del francés dentro del área, derribándole. Siebert no señaló el penalti porque había pitado falta previa de Pubill sobre Magalhaes, por lo que el VAR no pudo intervenir en la acción. Además, en los minutos finales del partido, la tensión se apoderó de los banquillos y Simeone y Andrea Berta, ex del Atlético y ahora director deportivo del Arsenal, tuvieron un encontronazo cuando el italiano pedía efusivamente el pitido final.

Harsewinkel, eine ostwestfälische Provinzstadt, ist der Ort, an dem der Autor Tobias Siebert seine Kindheit verbrachte. Mit ambivalentem Gefühl blickt er heute zurück auf die Zeit, in der auch AfD-Chefin Alice Weidel aufwuchs. Lange mied er seine Heimat, bis er auf dem Dachboden seiner Mutter eine alte Kassette findet: sein verstorbener Vater erzählt von der Hitlerjugend. Dies löst eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Geschichte aus. Mehrfach reist Siebert zurück, um verdrängte Geschichten der Jugend, der Stadt und der Gesellschaft zu erforschen. Dabei entdeckt er auch die Jugendjahre von Alice Weidel und eine tiefsitzende Verdrängung der NS-Vergangenheit, die bis heute spürbar ist.

A federal judge has tossed the criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia “Tish” James, not because they were innocent angels, but because the Trump team blew the basic rules on how to appoint the prosecutor handling the case.In this episode, we break down: • Why the judge ruled the charges had to be dismissed • How Lindsay Halligan's appointment as interim U.S. Attorney violated the 120-day window • Why she had zero prosecutorial experience and never should've been in that role • How a seasoned conservative prosecutor, Siebert, refused to bring the cases and walked away • Why lawfare backfires when you ignore the rules and hire for loyalty over competenceI'm no fan of Comey or Tish James—but this never should've been fumbled like this.

Shortly after his inauguration for his second term, Trump named Erik Siebert to be the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA). Siebert then spent months investigating New York Attorney General Leticia James and former FBI Director James Comey. Apparently finding no evidence supporting criminal charges, Siebert refused to indict those two Trump enemies.A furious Trump then erupted on social media demanding prosecutions of his enemies. Siebert resigned and Trump named an insurance lawyer and former beauty pageant contestant, Lindsay Halligan, as the new US Attorney for EDVA. And it now looks like Halligan may actually try to indict James Comey for allegedly lying to congress five years ago.The question is: Can Halligan find a federal prosecutor unethical enough to indict Comey, simply because Trump is demanding an indictment?

This Day in Legal History: Sandra Day O'Connor Sworn in to SCOTUSOn September 25, 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was sworn in as the first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court, breaking a 191-year gender barrier in the nation's highest judicial body. Nominated by President Ronald Reagan, O'Connor's appointment fulfilled a campaign promise to appoint a woman to the Court and was confirmed by the Senate in a unanimous 99-0 vote. A former Arizona state senator and judge on the Arizona Court of Appeals, O'Connor brought to the bench a pragmatic approach rooted in her Western upbringing and legislative experience.Her arrival on the Court was not merely symbolic—it signaled a shift in the perception of women in positions of legal authority and reshaped the public's view of judicial legitimacy. Though she identified as a moderate conservative, O'Connor quickly became a pivotal swing vote in many closely contested cases. Her jurisprudence favored case-by-case balancing over rigid ideological lines, particularly in areas such as abortion rights, affirmative action, and religious liberty.In the landmark Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) decision, O'Connor co-authored the controlling opinion that reaffirmed the core holding of Roe v. Wade, while allowing for certain state regulations. She also cast decisive votes in cases involving Title IX, voting rights, and the Establishment Clause. Her influence was especially pronounced in a Court that, during much of her tenure, was deeply divided ideologically.O'Connor's presence helped pave the way for future female justices, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Her swearing-in marked not just the inclusion of a woman's voice on the bench, but a redefinition of judicial neutrality and consensus-building. O'Connor retired in 2006, but her legacy remains foundational to the evolution of the modern Supreme Court and its relationship to gender and law.Apple Inc. and US Bank have both exited enforcement actions by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) years earlier than originally scheduled. The terminations, posted on the CFPB's website, end the agency's oversight of their compliance with prior settlements. Apple was previously penalized, along with Goldman Sachs, for misleading Apple Card customers and mishandling service issues, resulting in a combined $89 million in penalties and restitution. Though Apple had been subject to five years of compliance monitoring, that obligation was lifted after less than one year. Goldman Sachs remains under CFPB monitoring.US Bank faced enforcement in 2023 for freezing unemployment benefit accounts during the COVID-19 pandemic and was required to pay $20.7 million in penalties and customer redress. Its five-year monitoring period has also ended prematurely. These terminations follow a recent trend of the CFPB closing enforcement cases early, including those involving Navy Federal Credit Union and Toyota Motor Credit Corp., as the agency braces for budget-related staffing reductions. The CFPB, Apple, and US Bank have not commented publicly on the decisions.Apple, US Bank Latest to Exit CFPB Enforcement Actions EarlyThe U.S. Department of Justice is continuing its investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over alleged mortgage fraud, reportedly following pressure from President Donald Trump. The probe, led by senior DOJ official Ed Martin, is based in the Eastern District of Virginia and focuses on whether James misrepresented her residence status on mortgage applications. The case originated from a referral by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, though James denies any wrongdoing.The investigation had previously stalled after Erik Siebert, the former U.S. attorney overseeing the matter, concluded there wasn't sufficient evidence to press charges. Siebert resigned last week amid internal pressure, and was replaced by Lindsey Halligan, a Trump-aligned attorney recently sworn in as interim U.S. attorney. Trump intensified calls for action with a now-deleted Truth Social post demanding prosecution.Attorney General Pam Bondi, who appointed Martin as a special attorney, has publicly supported continuing the investigation. Her office emphasized that the case was ongoing and not being reopened, signaling a firm stance on pursuing alleged fraud against the government. Halligan, formerly Trump's lawyer in his classified documents case, has not commented on the James probe.Letitia James Mortgage Fraud Probe Is Moving Ahead at DOJ (1)Two Black men, Alan Swanson and Willie Bennett, have received a combined $150,000 settlement from the city of Boston after being wrongly accused in a 1989 murder case that intensified racial tensions. The case involved the killing of Carol Stuart, a pregnant white woman, whose husband falsely claimed they had been abducted by a Black man. Swanson and Bennett were arrested and publicly identified as suspects, though they were never formally charged. The husband later took his own life after his story unraveled, and his brother admitted to helping hide the murder weapon.Bennett will receive $100,000, and Swanson will receive $50,000. In 2023, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu formally apologized to both men following renewed public attention from the HBO series Murder in Boston, which revisited the case and its racially charged aftermath. The episode remains a painful example of how institutional bias and racial profiling distorted justice and harmed innocent people.The settlement also reflects broader efforts by U.S. cities to confront historic injustices in the wake of national reckoning following the 2020 police killing of George Floyd.Black men wrongly linked to 1989 Boston murder get $150,000 settlement | ReutersThe Arizona Supreme Court has rejected a proposal that would have allowed individuals without full law licenses to represent or prosecute criminal defendants after completing a shortened training path. The plan, developed by the Administrative Office of the Courts, aimed to address attorney shortages in rural areas and ease the burden on public defender and prosecutor offices by offering a faster, more affordable route to limited criminal practice. Participants would have undergone two semesters of criminal law classes, a nine-month supervised practice period, and passed a specialized exam.However, the proposal faced strong opposition from prosecutors and public defenders, who warned it could lower public confidence in indigent defense, depress pay rates, and lead to constitutional challenges. Critics also argued the plan might reinforce negative perceptions about the quality of representation for low-income defendants.Arizona already allows non-lawyers to perform limited legal work in areas like family and landlord-tenant law, but this proposal would have been the first to extend that model into criminal defense. The state will continue exploring alternative licensing routes, such as the Lawyer Apprentice Program, which offers a path to licensure for law graduates who fail the bar exam by placing them in supervised legal work for two years.Arizona nixes fast-track lawyer licensing plan for criminal cases | Reuters This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: Eight Executed for Witchcraft in MassachusettsOn September 22, 1692, eight individuals—six women and two men—were executed for witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, marking the final hangings of the infamous Salem Witch Trials. Among the condemned were Martha Corey, Mary Easty, Alice Parker, Mary Parker, Ann Pudeator, Wilmot Redd, Margaret Scott, and Samuel Wardwell. This date is significant as it represents the culmination of a months-long hysteria that began in early 1692, spurred by accusations from young girls and sanctioned by a special court convened to root out witchcraft. The trials relied heavily on "spectral evidence"—testimony that the accused's spirit had appeared to the accusers—which would later be discredited. The executions were carried out at Proctor's Ledge, near Gallows Hill.The public mood began to shift by the fall of 1692. Prominent ministers and members of the community, including Increase Mather, began speaking out against the trials, criticizing the reliance on uncorroborated testimony and the erosion of due process. Following the September 22 executions, no further hangings took place, and the special court was dissolved in October. In early 1693, Governor William Phips pardoned many of the remaining accused.The Salem Witch Trials are now viewed as a stark example of mass hysteria and judicial failure. Legal safeguards we take for granted today, such as the right to confront one's accuser and standards for admissible evidence, were notably absent. Over time, the Massachusetts government issued apologies, and the trials have become a lasting symbol of injustice.President Trump announced the appointment of his former attorney, Lindsey Halligan, as the new U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The move comes amid growing pressure from Trump on Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his political opponents more aggressively. In social media posts, Trump demanded action against figures such as former FBI Director James Comey, Senator Adam Schiff, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, citing frustration over delays and lack of indictments. Halligan, who previously represented Trump in legal battles following the Mar-a-Lago classified documents search, replaces Erik Siebert, who resigned following Trump's public criticism.Trump praised Bondi's overall performance but hinted at dissatisfaction with the pace of investigations. While he continues to support her publicly, his remarks suggest growing impatience. Bondi has also faced internal criticism over her handling of high-profile issues, including the Jeffrey Epstein files. Halligan's appointment surprised some in the Justice Department, as another official, Mary "Maggie" Cleary, reportedly believed she had been selected for the post.Trump administration sources say Siebert had resisted pushing charges against James and Comey due to weak evidence, which may have led to his ouster. The Eastern District office is currently involved in politically sensitive investigations tied to Trump's previous legal conflicts and campaign inquiries.Trump Picks New Virgina Prosecutor After Scolding Bondi InactionTrump picks former attorney to be top prosecutor, as he pressures Bondi to investigate foes | ReutersGoogle is facing a major antitrust trial in Virginia, where the U.S. Department of Justice and several states are pushing to force the company to sell its ad exchange platform, AdX. The government argues that Google has unlawfully monopolized the web advertising market, particularly by tying AdX to its publisher ad server, which publishers use to manage digital ad inventory. Judge Leonie Brinkema previously ruled that Google holds monopoly power in this area and will now decide what remedies to impose following the trial.The DOJ wants Google to not only divest AdX but also open-source the auction system that determines which ads get placed when users load a webpage. Google has countered that such proposals are impractical and could destabilize the digital advertising ecosystem. The company had earlier considered selling AdX in EU negotiations but is now proposing policy changes to allow more competition on its platforms.The trial has significant implications for the broader tech industry, as part of a larger bipartisan effort to regulate major tech firms including Meta, Amazon, and Apple. Testimony is expected from media industry executives, including former officials from News Corp and DailyMail.com, who have accused Google of prioritizing its own interests in ad placements. If current remedies fail to improve competition within four years, the DOJ wants Google to also sell its publisher ad server.Google seeks to avoid ad tech breakup as antitrust trial begins | ReutersLawyers for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, are asking a federal judge to block the death penalty in his case. In a court filing, they argued that Mangione's due process rights were violated, pointing to a highly publicized and "dehumanizing" perp walk in which he was shown in shackles being escorted from a helicopter. They claim this media spectacle, along with public comments from officials—including U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi—created a prejudicial environment from the outset of the case.Mangione has pleaded not guilty to charges including murder and interstate stalking. Thompson was fatally shot on December 4, 2024, outside a Manhattan hotel during an investment conference. While the killing was widely condemned, public sentiment has been mixed, with some sympathizing with Mangione's frustration over rising healthcare costs. The case has also fueled broader concerns about politically motivated violence following other recent high-profile incidents.Prosecutors have until October 31 to argue in favor of pursuing the death penalty, which would be decided by a jury if Mangione is convicted. His next federal court appearance is December 5. In parallel, Mangione is facing nine state charges, though two terrorism-related counts were recently dismissed. While New York abolished the death penalty in 2004 for state crimes, it remains a legal option in federal prosecutions.Luigi Mangione's lawyers urge judge to block death penalty over insurance CEO's murder | ReutersA U.S. federal court will soon decide whether Danish energy firm Ørsted and its partner Skyborn Renewables can resume construction on the Revolution Wind offshore project, which was halted by the Trump administration in August. Located 15 miles off Rhode Island's coast, the project is designed to power 350,000 homes across Rhode Island and Connecticut. Ørsted, claiming losses of $2 million per day during the stoppage, argues the administration did not follow proper procedures in issuing the stop-work order and is seeking a preliminary injunction from Judge Royce Lamberth.The Interior Department initially cited vague national security concerns through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management but later claimed Ørsted failed to comply with permit conditions. These included coordination with the U.S. Navy and NOAA to address military and scientific survey impacts. Ørsted disputes these claims, stating it has met the requirements and that the government's objections were raised only after litigation began.The Biden administration approved the project in 2023, but President Trump has moved to roll back offshore wind developments, calling them costly and unsightly. The outcome of the court's decision could impact both the future of the Revolution Wind project and the broader U.S. offshore wind sector.US court weighs Trump halt on Rhode Island offshore wind project | Reuters This is a public episode.
