Es ging nie um die Hochschulen, nie um Wissenschaft, nie um die Freiheit von Forschung und Lehre. Es ging immer schon darum, mit rechtem Kulturkampf Stimmung zu machen, die immer gleichen reaktionären Diskursmuster endlos zu recyclen, mit den immer gleichen Anekdoten Clicks zu generieren
8000 Artikel über zu viel "Wokeness" an den deutschen Unis; vornehmes Schweigen dazu, dass diese Unis gerade im Rahmen einer harten Austeritätspolitik abgewickelt werden.

The Trump administration’s systematic targeting of US knowledge infrastructure spans the entire production chain, from soup to nuts. Without reliable statistics, research funding, or accessible data, information asymmetries will surely increase, writes Amelia Acker.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

New study from Melbourne finds reducing residential speed limits from 50km/h to 30 km/h on local roads would protect cyclists from danger, make riding less stressful and get more people cycling while not causing traffic delays for cars.
Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-ten chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it was a nine-in-ten chance

“If we continue, however, with the policies that we have out there, we are clearly on a pathway now of 2.7 degrees or 3 degrees where adaptation is simply not doable anymore. This is just what it is. We cannot protect Amsterdam from sea level rise of 3m. This is just not doable,” Thallinger said.
Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable
Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, says the climate crisis could make adaptation economically unviable.

What would security look like if we moved beyond walls, borders, and exclusion? 🌍

Tomorrow we start our international workshop in #Hamburg exploring whether security can be reclaimed from far-right narratives - or if we need entirely new frameworks for protection & care.
