AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Sehr lesenswerter Beitrag darüber, wie künstliche Intelligenz Bildung entwertet, kritisches Denken und studentisches Lernen verhindert, Universitäten von innen zersetzt und die Gesellschaft nach und nach verblödet:

Useful guide to safeguarding democracy from extremism from @fromtga.bsky.social - including the counter intuitive but persuasive argument that constitutional monarchy can be helpful. Are we doing enough on this checklist?

Oh Leute … er hat in HH mit einem Bäcker gesprochen. Vllt etwas unglücklich, aber persönlich.

Margot Friedländer wird mit einer Sonderbriefmarke geehrt. Sie hat unnachgiebig an die Schrecken des Holocaust zu erinnert und versucht, dazu beizutragen, dass sich diese nie wiederholen.

Study Finds Mental Health Benefit to One-Week Social Media Break Young adults who engaged in a social media “detox” reported reductions in depression, anxiety and insomnia, though it was unclear how long the effects would last.

Dialing down the use of social media for a week reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia in young adults, according to a study published on Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open.

Autism and Vaccines QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS PAGE 2 OF 9 | ALL PAGES For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

Vaccines do not cause Autism* Pursuant to the Data Quality Act (DQA), which requires federal agencies to ensure the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information they disseminate to the public, this webpage has been updated because the statement "Vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim. Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy. HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links. This webpage will be updated with gold-standard science that results from the HHS comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism as required by the DQA. The following, as required by the DQA, details the state of the evidence and studies, and the lack thereof, regarding vaccines and autism spectrum disorder (autism) and outlines HHS future research directions to provide answers.

The official CDC website on autism and vaccines is now a screed of cherry-picked data and conspiratorial thinking claiming that actually vaccines *might* cause autism.

This is where we’re at folks…

Die Polizei, die Feuerwehr, die Ärzteschaft, die Umwelthilfe und die überwältigende Mehrheit (75%) der Berliner Bevölkerung fordert ein Verbot von privatem Feuerwerk an Silvester. Das kann man nicht länger ignorieren. Verletzungen, Schäden hohe Kosten.
Was macht die Politik?

WHAT the …. ???

Change on CDC website links vaccines and autism. What does it mean for doctors, parents? The updated page casts aside decades of research by scientists around the world, which has found no link between childhood vaccines and autism.

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
