A consumer, civic-focused "tech-for-good" company working with the military is something I cannot get my head around, no matter how I try.

Yesterday's news about OpenAI, and not only literally — tech companies have been openly working on US and other defense contracts for years now, protests lead to people fired rather than projects abandoned.

My friend @aivengo96.bsky.social attended "The Forum of Yulia Navalnaya" and, in a shocking twist, saw a glimpse of the future for the Russian opposition instead of the never-ending squabble we are all used to.

My piece on Kaskad, an obscure Russian army unit that offers officials, pro-Kremlin youth activists and various regime "Mitläufer"s a chance to get the badge of war veteran and come back home safe and sound after a short deployment in Ukraine:

24.05.2025 07:04 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Only by p.50 I figured the book “The End. Germany in 1945-1955”, was not in fact the “Wolf Time - Germans 1945-1955”, the book that I actually wanted to read. Now adding not one, but two of these to the book about 1945 German suicide epidemic would be concerning, so I am considering -a library-.

Our exhibition in Berlin is giving out tiny statuettes of Alexey Navalny as part of the art installation by Spanish artist Fernando Sanchez Castillo. It's a part of a larger project that depicts famous protesters from across the world.

I am Hon. Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defense. I urgently seek your trust to assist in transferring $6,000,000 USD extracted from the European Union as a payment for a highly classified US military operation against Houthi forces in Yemen.
Wow. Russian disinformation network "Pravda" succeeded in polluting outputs of 10 leading AI tools, including models by Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Over 3,6 million articles released by this network in 2024 are now contaminating their datasets.

NEW on our site
Our data shows that people are turning away from the news, with interest in news falling and news avoidance rising. A new piece by our researcher Craig T. Robertson explains why this is happening and what publishers can do about it

Ok folks, deep breaths.
There is very real reason to worry about the dynamic emerging between Washington and Moscow when it comes to Ukraine. But there is also very real reason to believe that Ukraine and Europe can create a better outcome.

I mostly regret the years I spent watching Russian state TV for work, but 10 years ago today I had it on in the background when Putin landed in Egypt for this rendition of the Russian national anthem
Still one of the single funniest minutes of video on YouTube

This is interesting! Did not know that the 1914 Germany-Russia border was in the same spot as the current Poland-Lithuania-Russia (Kaliningrad) border, but the side that was then Germany is now Russia and the side that was Russia is Lithuania

This is unfortunately an outlook on (primarily Muslim) immigrants typical of many people I know. Recent German political discourse changes, with calls for deportations even coming from SPD made this nonsense more acceptable in Germany.
