Trifft an mehreren Stellen und einer deutlichen Pointe, wenn man sich das genau überlegt.

“No Future” Lexicon: Erasure The erasure of disabled futures intersects with other forms of eradication and suppression of diverse futures.

“‘Against Technoableism’ situates the ways disability are discussed in contemporary culture within historical frameworks of erasure and exclusion, making a case for the many ways in which people with disabilities can shape accessible futures.”

Thank you!

Does someone have a source for this picture? For context: I don't want to encroach on your superhero story. I'm writing a scientific paper on plastiglomerates and this is an amazing example.

Zitat von Marina Weisband, Digitalpolitikerin: Palantir ist designt für Totalüberwachung. Es ist in seinem Grund inkompatibel mit einer Demokratie.

Trump & Thiel are watching you! 👀

CDU/CSU wollen die Polizei bundesweit mit der gefährlichen Software von Palantir ausstatten. Diese ist für Massenüberwachung und Grundrechtseingriffe bekannt. Der US-Konzern bekäme so Zugriff auf sensible Daten von Millionen Bürger*innen.

ZEIT: WISSEN DREI bezeichnet das Netzwerk #PDprekär als neuen Stakeholder in der wissenschaftlichen Debatte – wir bleiben dran & machen die Interessen von PDs sichtbar – macht mit! Wir begrüßen jedwede Form der Unterstützung, auch von Nicht-(mehr)-PDs: pdprekaer.jimdosite.com

Eeek! Made it into the Lit Hub Daily with my piece on disability, erasure and @ashleyshoo.bsky.social 's excellent "Against Technoableism": Lit Hub Daily: July 25, 2025 ‹ Literary Hub share.google/N7WWld8eOpx3...

Thanks to @publicbooks.bsky.social for publishing my short piece on disability, erasure and @ashleyshoo.bsky.social 's brilliant "Against Technoableism.

Neues Netzwerk für Privatdozent:innen #PDprekär Interview zu den Hintergründen mit Dr. Jan Wiarda: www.jmwiarda.de/blog/2025/07...

Please repost! Folgt auch dem Account @pdprekaer.bsky.social

Privatdozent:in sein heißt oft kostenlos lehren - gern mal am anderen Ende der Republik. Wer da keinen finanziellen Rückhalt hat, lebt trotz höchstem Ausbildungsabschluss in der Wissenschaft gern mal von Bürgergeld.

1 Professor:in erwähnte kürzlich, dass die Zeitspanne zwischen Habil & Ruf (sofern er jemals kommt) im Schnitt bei 7 (sieben!) Jahren läge. Das geht sich a) nicht im Ansatz mit dem #WissZeitVG aus & b) ist das Risiko für 'Nichtversorgte' – insb. für #FirstGen |s – noch größer. #IchBinHanna #PDprekär

2012 gab es in D ca. 5.000 PDs, d.h. habilitierte Wissenschaftler:innen, die gratis Lehre leisten. Wie viele sind es heute? Zahlen dazu lassen sich kaum erheben, weil sie nicht zentral erfasst werden. #pd_prekaer #ichbinhanna #ichbinreyhan 1/3

Three middle-aged dudes in front of the local bakery discussing how much they think it's not okay that young people can be whoever they choose to be. Like Butterflies. Or something.

In meinem Gebäude ist es über dem 1. Stock unerträglich heiß. Vielleicht könnten wir einfach die Kellerräume zu Seminarräumen und Büros umwidmen?

Contributor: Why 'monstrify'? Look at who benefits when few are considered fully human The category of 'human' is shrinking as politicians, tech bros and right-wing pundits divide the world into two groups: You're a cis-het white man, or you're a monster.

Please read this important article on how calling people "monsters" has historically served to deny their human rights: www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... by @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social

I don't know what to do either, but perhaps the one thing we can do right now is at least not look away and pretend this is normal.

Tools like ChatGPT are known to often provide imprecise, incorrect or even blatantly false information. If you ask those tools to provide sources, they might invent them. There are a lot of ethical challenges with using generative AI tools. Those are related to, for instance, data privacy (how the data were obtained or where the data you are feeding the tools come from and whether you are authorized to share them) and environmental costs (how energy-intensive the use of gen-AI is). I do not believe generative AI will make you a better student or a better professional. Maybe in the short run it will help you conduct some tasks more quickly, which could be useful. As a non-native English speaker, I sometimes use it to rewrite my sentences because the right word doesn’t always come to my mind quickly enough. But my (AI-free) training and career have taught me enough to know whether the sentences proposed have the meaning I want to give them. Doing research is inherently about taking the time to find the right data, sitting with them to come up with an accurate analysis and then taking more time to reflect on it. Research is supposed to be slow. In the long run, using generative AI will disincentivize you to analyze what you read, to write, or to think. Those activities are what you learn in a political science programme. If you are just here to get a degree to get a job, maybe you don’t think you need to acquire those skills (after all, you have generative AI). And at the junior level, maybe you don’t. But at the senior level, you most certainly do. Again, think long-term. Also, if you stop using your brain, well, let’s just say that probably won’t lead to a favourable outcome.

How I'm thinking about gen-AI in a university context. Thoughts?

All of this! The only thing I might add is the tendency towards mediocrity which is literally built into LLMs, because their algorithms run on probability. They will never produce anything better than a remix of existing work. Which is extremely boring for everyone involved.

Die Polizei ist eine Echokammer. Man ruft etwas hinein und bekommt etwas zurück. In diesem Fall: wie das Leben in unserer Gemeinschaft funktionieren soll. Viele verlangen nach exzessiver Gewalt, die Polizei liefert.

Posthuman Zombies This chapter will consider posthuman zombies not so much as another step in the ongoing evolution of the zombie figure but rather focus on the theoretical implications arising from reading zombie medi...

I wrote a thing on critical posthumanism and zombies for rhe Palgrave Living Handbook of Zombies, in case that's of interest to anyone on here: link.springer.com/referencewor...

There is no such thing as political neutrality in this situation. Trying to remain neutral towards the rise of fascism will only play into the hands of the fascists.
