Had I known I’d be wearing braces again at my PhD defense, I’d have chosen an easier to pronounce main concept. Because “Transnationalization” is... tricky. And "Transnationalisierung" is just another level.

The project: We aim to develop a depolarization toolkit to be used in social contexts like schools or sports clubs. For this, we're collaborating with @offenegesellschaft.bsky.social to organize local events in Germany.

Must watch video of a Fulbright scholar with a legal visa being taken abruptly by masked agents — who don’t even show an ID.
There is no claim she committed any crimes. She co-wrote an op-ed in a student newspaper.
They could have just served notice to her to leave the country.

Drinking an entire bottle of Club Mate around 23:30 with the intention of having a productive night session reviewing my network dataset one last (?) time was a great idea. UNTIL my STATA license expired at midnight. I believe I've now officially run out of excuses not to fully switch to R.

Yes, there will be growing pains for Blue, including the need to invest in costly cloud infrastructure, content moderation and transparency reporting. So, let’s enjoy this ad-free environment while we can. 😅
Wow, 18M+ users! bsky-users.theo.io At this rate, Bluesky is going to be declared a VLOP (a very large online platform) by year-end.

Happy to be back at the DeZIM Institut in Berlin for the #RaMi symposium! Today and tomorrow, we will discuss how the far-right is being normalized and becoming more mainstream, mainly through the paths created by those in the center, or in other words, the #RadicalizedMainstream.
