After 9/11, George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security to prevent future terror strikes. @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports on how DHS shifted from defending the country against foreign terrorists to deploying agents on American streets:
‘Maybe DHS Was a Bad Idea’
Two decades after its founding, the department has become what its critics feared.

Netzsperren: Wie wir mit „Snowflake“ Menschen im Iran helfen können
Angesichts der Proteste im Iran hat die Staatsführung das Internet stark eingeschränkt. Aber Menschen im Westen können helfen – mit einer Art Geheimweg ins freie Netz. Doch ist das wirklich sicher?

Did you know that the PR agency for #COP30 also works for fossil fuel companies like Shell?

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Ich bin immer wieder Baff, dass das Rentenniveau in Österreich bei 80% liegt in ganz ähnlicher demografischer Situation, und gehe deshalb davon aus, dass wir in Deutschland großflächig verarscht werden.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I'm supporting #MassBlackout (Nov25-Dec 2 2025). Preparing it now with reminders in my calendar. Not buying anything at all, spending any money for 1 week. I'm buying local stuff only, if needed. No steam games, no amazon stuff, nothing. Shut that shit down.✊️

Es passiert nur ungefähr alle zehn Jahre, dass sich jemand tiefgehend akademisch mit meiner Arbeit beschäftigt (und ich auch noch etwas davon mitbekomme), und es macht mich wenig überraschend sehr glücklich.

I think the noun 'disconnect' has become so popular because it can be used in an equally vague manner as 'problem' (i.e. without stating what the problem is about), but you somehow sound more sophisticated and technical.

i think the fundamental disconnect here, and i say this as an engineer without much creative talent, is that a lot of people who don't do creative things regularly (or ever) look at creative output (writing, music, whatever) as a product, and consume and experience it like a baby looking at a mobile

Kleiner KI-Thread.

Wo ich jetzt in #KI (nennen wir sie halt ruhig mal so, hat sich ja eingebürgert) einsteige und mehr darüber erfahre, wie sie entwickelt und trainiert wird, ist auffällig, welche entscheidene Rolle da Konkurrenz und Gegenspieler haben.

It's true! When I studied economics, I was stunned by the ROI of social programs. Every dollar spent on childcare returns about $2.80 to the economy, and healthcare delivers even greater returns with broader social impact.

A universal basic income is simply smart fiscal policy. Why the reluctance?
For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Es ist mir ein Rätsel, warum bei Landwirten nicht der Kampf gegen den Klimawandel absolute Priorität über alles hat. Vor allem bei jenen, die ihren Hof an die nächste Generation weitergeben wollen. Der Bauerverband müsste stramm grün sein, wenn er wirklich die Interessen vertreten würde.
