Aktueller Luftqualitätsindex | Berliner Luftgütemessnetz, SenMVKU | Luftqualität und Luftgüte in Berlin

The air quality in Berlin and actually all the eastern parts of Germany has been consistently bad for a couple of weeks now. Yet there is virtually no reporting in the media about this. Why is that?

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Shaftesbury is the most rewarding source for thinking about enthusiasm in modernity, alas largely forgotten nowadays...

I feel the same in regard to ENTHUSIASM which is much more than mere euphoria.

I’m truly excited to share that The Oxford Handbook of Emotions in International Relations, co-edited with Andrew Ross , is finally out in the world. lnkd.in/dZYNS2Jb

This project has been a journey: full of ideas, conversations, challenges, and inspiration.I’m deeply grateful to all contributors.

«Critical thinking is not the sole attribute of literature and philosophy departments. Instead, it is embedded in science, engineering and other hardcore technical disciplines, where logic and problem-solving are non-negotiable.»
No, critical thinking is not «problem-solving».
It's problematization

As a one-sentence response to the “promise” of generative AI, this may never be topped.

Dieses Buch wird auffällig intensiv beworben, vor allem die englische Fassung. Cui bono?

German intelligence agency labels AfD as rightwing extremist Classification likely to reignite debate about banning party that ‘devalues ​​entire population groups’

This is not news to many of us, but nonetheless a confirmation of the anti-constitutional and racist views held by the electorate.

21% voted for AfD in the parliamentary elections in Feb.

AfD is currently polling ahead of the conservative Christian Democrats.

Gift link.

I listen to this recording a lot these days. It’s pretty fantastic tbh

"It is not about whether such technology will be good or bad for society... those who control the production and use of information technology will shape it in ways that are good for some and destructive for others" (Mosco, 1982, p. 8)

Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

The arrest of Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, a greencard holder, without due process is a structure test to see what they can get away with. If his deportation holds, we will see the mass dissappearing of dissenting voices. Freedom for Mahmoud and eternal shame on the enablers shorturl.at/fMiLA

I find it baffling that Musk‘s eugenicist world view is almost completely missing from the coverage of his political actions. Why does he hate USAID & is willing to cause deaths? Because he only views certain people worthy of life and dignity. It’s not a mystery. It’s out there for all of us to see.

Democracy Is Done: The Rise of Corporate Monarchy The Real Agenda Behind Elon's Coup & Trump's Chaotic First 3 Weeks

Die beste Erklärung, um zu verstehen, was gerade in den USA abgeht. Von langer Hand geplant von der Multimilliardärs-Mafia um den PayPal-Gründer Peter Thiel, Elon Musk und den von ihnen gekauften JD Vance. Nein, das ist leider kein Verschwörungsmythos.

"It’s still not clear what happens on the other side of all this. But when they’re flagging words like 'women' and 'trauma,' less than three weeks in, it can’t be good."

The List of Trump's Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSF It's fascism, plain and simple.
