All these supposedly important & very politically relevant but privately & for profit organised forums & summits like WEF in Davos or the upcoming Munich security summit are much much closer to what Epstein provided for the economical & political elites than it’s convenient for most journalists &
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

Die Parteien im demokratischen Spektrum (außer aktuell "PDL" und Teile von Grün) glänzen noch nicht mal mehr mit leeren Versprechungen das Leben von Menschen zu verbessern. Sie drohen ja nur mit Gürtel enger schnallen und viel mehr Arbeit. Einzige Gemeinsamkeit ist: Ausländer raus - in Abstufungen.

As these teens describe, AI can diminish human relationships; devalue art; threaten the environment; lead to laziness; give unreliable results; pose privacy concerns; and be misused.
So, please, stop with the narratives of inevitability and let's embrace a pedagogy and politics of refusal.

Kind of amazing: Japan’s thoroughly corrupt LDP which has run the country into severe trouble might be heading for a huge election win. Germany’s CDU (with an even worse track record) will surely feel emboldened by this.
FREE FOR ALL READERS: A new poll from Asahi suggests that a landslide victory for the LDP could be coming. Meanwhile, Takaichi stirs up controversy on the yen, and takes a break from campaigning to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Yesterday in #Siracusa, the #OceanViking team disembarked the body of the woman we recovered at sea.
We held a ceremony to honour her.
She is the visible trace of thousands of invisible deaths in the #Mediterranean, where at least 32,342 people have gone missing since 2014.
