Remember the reason they haven't done it to your country yet, is not laws or ethics, but that so far it hasn't been materially expedient.

Ist die gewaltige Abneigung gegenüber Telefonaten mit Servicemitarbeitenden eigentlich ein Millennial-Ding? Oder gibt es Millennials, die spontan bei Hotlines anrufen können und nicht erst einen Kaffee, die Lieblingskekse und einen zehnminütigen Pep Talk brauchen?

It appears our local German tax-funded broadcaster NDR found their very own Graham Hancock and netflixed him up, including the right-wing "Spezialistentum" allegations against established academia. Great write-up by historian @smagnussen.de from my alma mater Kiel. German language.
In late March, the NDR aired a story about the #Atlantis in the North Sea-theory. It portrayed the main protagonist, Jürgen Spanuth, as a passionate pioneer who had been silenced by the establishment. I wrote an article on @uebermedien.de about what bothered me about this:

Atlantis in der Nordsee? Was der NDR in seiner "Zeitreise" weglässt
Der NDR stellt den Hobbyforscher Jürgen Spanuth als Pionier dar, blendet jedoch aus, dass auch NS-Ideologen seine wilden Theorien teilten.

Behold: The argument for why AI is a massive time saver meets the argument that AI "art" isn't slop because it requires a lot of tireless "work".

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

Several comments underneath my last video questioned my claim that I have terrible taste in video games, so here's a list of awful takes I may add on to when I remember them.

Just started playing Ghost of Tsushima and the gameplay is really neat. Now usually, I value mechanics above story, but the writing sure is - a surprise. I may as well sit through hours of Overwatch Hanzo cinematics on repeat. This doesn't feel like a Samurai film, but a caricature of one.

One reason the Hitman games feel so comforting is that they simulate a world where the rich and powerful are geniuses masterfully pulling strings in pursuit of devious schemes, rather than a bunch of embarrassing nepo babies stumbling over themselves on the hunt for their next power trip.

"Surplus value" or "profit" is the value of your labor that your employer decides not to pay you.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Now that a self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" has won the NY mayoral race (and I couldn't be happier about that) and after I'd read a CNN article about other "moderate" Democrats winning, I made this little table to help translate between the American and European political spectrum.

In the next 20 years, someone will make an American horror movie about a family or small community that got cursed and did unspeakable things to their own. And then when the curse is lifted, everyone feigns ignorance and goes on living like nothing happened.
