PwC somehow more lucid on AI and education than most university leaders these days

Screenshot from The New Yorker There have been some critiques of the movie. People have said that it was essentially a payoff from Amazon to the White House, and that you’re doing propaganda for an authoritarian President. I know you said you don’t want to get into politics, but what do you think of that critique? Well, you know, I felt like I was a reporter. I see. You see what I mean? Sure. It’s, like, would you do an interview with Melania or President Trump yourself? Probably yes. It doesn’t mean that you think the same way or that you approve of him doing what he’s doing. You and I are two journalists talking, essentially. Yeah. So, I mean, to me, the experience was about, yes, being a reporter—being a cinematographer in a documentary, and doing my best to make Melania look visually beautiful with the lighting. One thing reporters try to do is to spotlight ideas or news stories, and what you’re trying to do is spotlight her face and its beauty. I do see a real similarity there. Yeah. We were trying to do the best we could.

Mercy.

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

Zwei Jahre lang wurden die Todeszahlen aus Gaza systematisch und koordiniert in Frage gestellt und ins Lächerliche gezogen, um den Völkermord an der palästinensischen Bevölkerung stillschweigend zu legitimieren.

Jetzt haben die IDF selbst die Zahlen zugegeben.

Komplizenschaft.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

It‘s also good to have a public record of this behaviour in case jeff ever tries to rehabilitate himself.

Border Patrol murdered Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this morning. He was a 37-year-old ICU nurse, a U.S. citizen, a legal gun owner. Video shows he was holding a phone when they killed him. This is the second fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis in 17 days. A legal thread 🧵

Vielleicht weil deine Vibes ein bisschen unangenehm rüberkommen? Wenn ein finanziell kostenloses Angebot nur in Verbindung mit anstrengenden Kontakten existiert die einen dann permanent vollballern ist es im Ergebnis halt auch nicht wirklich niederschwellig, die Schwelle ist nur eine andere.

Every time I watch Return of the Jedi, I keep getting held up on how Crix Madine must spend every day in disbelief that the Rebel Alliance just lets Luke and His Pals do whatever they feel like

Here in Austria I‘ve always perceived slump in attendance during the late teen years that often bounces back. My go-to explanation was lack of spending money/different priorities in that age range. It seems only natural for gen z attendance to get better as they grow older and have more resources.

It took me about 7-10 hours until it really clicked. But once you get into the groove it‘s a lot of fun to slowly learn the rhythm of the bigger enemies.

„We fixed all the problems of the libertarian community project that got overrun by bears with the simple trick of moving it to an island that does not have any bears.Yes I am very smart.“

By far the best modern Star Wars movie, sadly the cowards at disney destroyed all the momentum it brought to the franchise.

To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex. Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving

Die meisten Männer empfinden keine Liebe für Frauen in irgendeiner Form.

Ich weiß der Absatz wird viel geteilt, tatsächlich kenne ich aber kaum eine so gute Zusammenfassung des Kernproblems von Männergewalt.

Männer sehen in Frauen keine vollwertigen Menschen, sie sehen Bedürfniserfüllungswesen

I need to stop getting mad at people being wrong but this is one of the dumbest things I‘ve read in a while.

Beim Verurteilen von systematischer Ermordung der Zivilbevölkerung ist es vielleicht oft kein Nachteil sich aufs Bauchgefühl zu verlassen, sonst rationalisiert man sich noch aus Staatsräson ein komplett verkorkstes Weltbild zusammen und macht Rückendeckung für einen Genozid.

So true! Actually running the real numbers will be a skill that only grows in value in the coming years.

Most accurate post about Trump remains that Reddit post that was like “Stupid Americans are the new Irish Americans and Trump is their JFK”

god I wish I was a CEO, it‘s the easiest fucking gig in the world, suitable only for the biggest morons you could imagine.

i spent way too long making this so you better turn the sound on and be nice to me. first verse by OP, second verse by me, third verse by @dekubrush.bsky.social

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

Germany is offering asylum to donkeys from Gaza. Gaza’s children? Not allowed. Germany is now taking in animals from Gaza while refusing entry to injured and sick Palestinians. The message is clear: in Germany’s hierarchy of “valuable” life, Palestinians are valued less than ani...
