Die digitale Abhängigkeit des deutschen Staates von einem einzelnen Tech-Giganten nimmt besorgniserregende Ausmaße an: Fast 500 Millionen Euro hat die Bundesverwaltung allein im Jahr 2025 für Microsoft-Lizenzen ausgegeben! 😱

Our children are also under constant threat, living under russian drones and missiles attack. Russia kills them. This is a memorial in Kharkiv dedicated to the "little angels who will never grow up." Those are their names on the cubes.

Yup, I was going to bring up chess as an example. Chess has been dealing with AI for 30 years now. Chess players use AI extensively in preparation and review. But using it during the game is a sin.
I think a similar dynamic will happen to the creative arts.

Under tidigt tiotal var vi få som pratade om återreglering av lärares undervisningstid. Man sågs som en kuf. Frågan var död och begraven. Sedan började intreset att öka under andra delen av decenniet. Här en tidig Balanstext om USK:en www.vilarare.se/nyheter/deba...

Jörgen har du övervägt att sluta vara kompis med Epstein för att han var en systematisk våldtäktsman och trafficker

Greetings from Kyiv.
Winter’s survival mode drains a lot of energy.
Voltage drops and constant power cuts wear out the meter. I have to choose what to charge in the rare hours of electricity.
Finally found someone to fix the windows, the drafts make the flat even colder.
Spring, we need you.

By my count in the last five years we have seen four sex trafficking rings involving the elite of entertainment and media, academia, finance, and politics with no discernible effects on our system and without us making it central to political analysis. Instead, pundits told us #metoo went too far.

The murder of Medgar Evers was an act of racial terror. That fact is not partisan. It is historical. Calling it anything else is not “restoring truth.” It is erasing it.

I have managed to literally write hundreds of letters of recommendation over the past 20 years without even *once* referring to a student's physical appearance. I also have also yet to receive the kind of follow-up call described here, "asking for aesthetic detail".

The Washington Post was once a standard-bearer for American journalism. It stood for fearless investigative reporting, for holding the powerful accountable, and for the simple but radical idea that democracy cannot survive without a free press.
That institution is now being destroyed.

Wahlkampf-Slogan der Union war übrigens: „Für ein Deutschland, auf das wir wieder stolz sein können.“
Ein gutes, zugängliches Gesundheitssystem sollte dazu gehören.
btw ist Gesundheit ein Menschenrecht.
Was auch Kern aller Debatten aktuell ist: Bei den Angriffen geht es nicht primär um Kosten.

Det säger väl någonting att när Epsteinfilerna avslöjar en slags global elit som håller varandra om ryggen, så liknar den inte alls den elit av batiktanter och wokeideologer som SD pratar om. Tvärtom, inget har hänt: det är kapitalet, politiken – och lite kunglig glans ovanpå.

Friskolorna sämst i klassen – fuskar med biblioteken

”Faktum är att Malmö latinskola har ensam fler utbildade skolbibliotekarier än samtliga 22 fristående gymnasier i Malmö. ”

the problem with this newfound “bursary” argument aired in the Times is this:
twhen we first heard about these payments in September a person close to Mandelson said it couldn’t possibly be the case and, er, threatened to sue us

Press statement From Islip Forward:
At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, federal agents were documented using infrastructure located on the property of the Central Islip Fire Department Station 2, at 110 Wheeler Road-without prior authorization to be on or use that space.
When a volunteer with Islip Forward approached to document the activity, federal agents threatened the volunteer with arrest for alleged trespassing, despite the agents themselves operating in an area where no prior permission had been granted.
Immediately following this interaction, the Central Islip Fire Department took swift action to protect its property and the public. Temporary restrictions were implemented, including closing the gate to the area being used and preventing external access.
The use of municipal fire department property for federal enforcement activity—without authorization-and the subsequent threat directed at a community volunteer raise serious concerns about transparency, overreach, and respect for local institutions.
We are deeply grateful to the volunteer firefighters of the Central Islip Fire Department for their decisive and responsible response.
ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

Perhaps you’ve also seen reports about the so-called pause in strikes on energy facilities in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities during the coming severe frosts.
Do I believe it?

Satz gefallen, den man so wiedergeben kann, aber auch zig andere, die ziemlich genau das Gegenteil sagen. Die eigentliche Meldung wäre gewesen, dass der Präsident der USA zusammenhanglos vor sich hin geredet hat & dabei ne Menge Unwahrheiten erzählt hat. Wer nur DLF hört, weiß das nicht.

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.
