„Vor der Wahl habe Tesla versucht, sich „ein bisschen zu verwöhnen“, sagt der 25-Jährige. Der 30-J. stimmt zu: „Als wären wir Kinder, haben sie uns letzte Woche Obst und Kekse gebracht. Als ob wir dumm wären.““
Bei #Tesla geht es gerade um bessere Arbeit & #Demokratie.
Alle Daumen gedrückt!!
Another image is from a German prisoner-of-war camp (Döberitz), where a group of Indian, Egyptian, Persian, Tatar, and Arab anti-colonialists visited in 1915 to persuade prisoners to defect and join the revolutionary cause.
300 in der Halle,
7.000 vor der Halle.
Höcke: "Viele sind durch die Bildungsanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ideologisiert worden, sind fehlgeleitet worden."
Ich möchte mich bei den 7.000 'Opfern' vor der Halle herzlich bedanken.

What better way to say "I love you" than with the Chicago Manual of Style
This tracks with the numbers coming from the DFG, GACR and many other national / foundation funders. Many more people applying for far fewer opportunities.
Brutal numbers on Marie Curie Fellowships: over 17 000 applications, with success rate dropping to below 10%. For a scholarship of 2-3 years only, no matter how prestigious, it only shows how impossible academia has become.
I also make protest signs.

LinkedIn probably wasn’t the best channel to post this, but I stand by it
Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.
Turns out a lot of the tools used in the production of catgut would be familiar to any weaver.
Das Landgericht Göttingen hat heute entschieden, dass die Sparkasse das Konto der @rotehilfe.bsky.social fortführen muss. Eine von uns beantragte einstweilige Verfügung war erfolgreich. Ein wichtiges Signal für die Zivilgesellschaft! Zum Hintergrund: www.prigge-recht.de/pressemittei...
I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts.

I'm trying to write a thing about AI slop and why we want pointless animal videos to still be real. Any storytelling theorists out there who've written about this already?
About the 19th Century periodization, I have a question. Well, it's actually more of a comment...
There’s an excellent and devastatingly thorough article in the latest @indexers.bsky.social journal by Elizabeth Bartmess and Michele Combs demonstrating that LLMs are worthless for indexing
There are few things more exciting that seeing friends publish the books you can't wait to read ...

If you're going to make a post praising an incredible news photo, it's a real bad look when you don't include the photographer credit in the post.
The White House briefing room. Four Hs. Three of them are upside down. And it’s been that way since 2007.
I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.
Just a 1399 unicorn watermark from a paper manufacturer from Valencia to make your day. Friends of #paperhistory know that these paper sheets of around 1400 are among the first sheets of European paper to appear on the market. European #bookhistory was a different game afterwards. #skystorians
“Transformative Transdisciplinarity. An Introduction to Community-Based Philosophy” is out with Oxford University Press! I’m actually pretty proud of this book. It’s Open Access, so feel free to share fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/...

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
