"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Didn’t know you spoke German! Colour me impressed.

What I like about my nation‘s anthem (Germany) is how thrifty it is.
The music is a recycled imperial anthem by Haydn and today‘s lyrics are merely the third stanza after the Nazis misappropriated the first stanza.
(The second stanza is kitsch so we tend to ignore it.)

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

“AI”: A Dedicated Fact-Failing Machine, or, Yet Another Reason Not to Trust It For Anything I search my name on a regular basis, not only because I am an ego monster (although I try not to pretend that I’m not) but because it’s a good way for me to find reviews, end-of-the-yea…

Today in "Don't Trust AI to Tell You Facts": How several different "AI" programs messed up the simple fact of to whom I dedicated a book, and what that means for how much you should trust "AI" to tell you the truth about things (spoiler: not much at all):

And everything is flawed, if you want to look at it that way. The analogy that has helped me most is this: in Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of boat-owners rescued people—single moms, toddlers, grandfathers—stranded in attics, on roofs, in flooded housing projects, hospitals, and school buildings. None of them said, I can’t rescue everyone, therefore it’s futile; therefore my efforts are flawed and worthless, though that’s often what people say about more abstract issues in which, nevertheless, lives, places, cultures, species, rights are at stake. They went out there in fishing boats and rowboats and pirogues and all kinds of small craft, some driving from as far as Texas and eluding the au- thorities to get in, others refugees themselves working within the city. There was bumper-to-bumper boat-trailer traffic—the celebrated Cajun Navy—going toward the city the day after the levees broke. None of those people said, I can’t rescue them all. All of them said, I can rescue someone, and that’s work so meaningful and important I will risk my life and defy the authorities to do it. And they did.

My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.

‘Bloodshed was supposed to stop’: no sign of normal life as Gaza’s killing and misery grind on The term ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion life is returning to normal’ for Palestinians squeezed into the remaining 42% of their land behind Israel’s ‘yellow line’

The term ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion life is returning to normal’

Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children

Es gibt keine Leitfäden mehr. Es gibt keine Verlässlichkeit mehr. Das ist Strategie-auf-dem-Bierdeckel mit ein paar gezielten Punches. Wer da lange Exegese betreibt, begeht einen Fehler: Energie besser in eigene Verlässlichkeiten investieren...

Die ständigen Spar- und Kürzungsdebatten führen wir übrigens nur, weil sich unsere Regierung weigert, fossile Subventionen abzubauen, Finanzkriminalität konsequent zu bekämpfen und Steuerprivilegien für Superreiche abzuschaffen. Das kann man nicht oft genug wiederholen.

Der Versuch, von den Kriegsverbrechen der israelischen Regierung abzulenken, ist absurd. Genauso sinnlos, wie den Terror der Hamas zu beschönigen.
Die Blockade von Nahrungsieferungen an die Zivilbevölkerung ist ein Kriegsverbrechen. Darüber muss ich nicht diskutieren und deshalb bin ich hier raus.

Weil nur 14.8 % der Kinder Zeichen von Unterernährung zeigten und gemeinhin erst ab 15 % von einer Hungersnot ausgegangen wird.
Wer das ernsthaft für ein überzeugendes Argument hält, hat seine Menschlichkeit weit hinter sich gelassen.

The only safe place to use LLMs is in a field where you are already skilled enough to know you would never trust AI. So you might as well not.

We’ve got to start insisting on this Catch 22 being understood in all workplaces: AI only replaces workers too incompetent to notice it doesn’t work.

I wish you were wrong and I fear you may be right.
I‘m not sure whether the fact that it absolutely doesn’t have to be this way makes it more infuriating or is a source of some solace.

Die Konservativen wollen lieber Weimar wiederholen. Lieber mal wieder gegen Linke und Abtifaschisten hetzen. Die haben uns ja damals ins Vererben geführt. Und sich dann in den KZs selbst umgebracht.

Unquestionably a war crime. I know we all have fatigue about this, but we have to keep saying it where we can until enough people get it.

This idea was included in Germany‘s constitution in 1949.

Art. 14 (which guarantees private property) explicitly states that the use of private property should benefit the public.

It’s a pity - though not much of a surprise - that this tends to be overlooked in real life.

i can see this one is going to get a lot of use

#girlgenius Hated to do it, but we started a GoFundMe. These are chaotic times, and no mistake, and all of a sudden we realized they were chaosing all over us. (www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-f...) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Terry Moran @TerryMoran Follow The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment. 12:06 AM 6/8/25 230K Views

Shitler and his goons are losing their minds over this post from ABC's Terry Moran. Like, they are threatening all kinds of retribution, and he was forced to take this post down.

Thing is, he's right, and maybe we can Streisand Effect this to support him and the truth.

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series.

Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in.

J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

Man kann für die SPD wirklich nur hoffen, dass die klugen Worte von @lwestheuser.bsky.social hier angenommen und beherzigt werden.

Am besten könnte man den heutigen Tag des Grundgesetzes dadurch feiern, indem man ein Verbotsverfahren für eine gesichert rechtsextreme Partei anstoßen würde.
