Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

It appears that the account jjajacjack.bsky.social is impersonating Larissa von Krbek vkrbek.bsky.social. I‘ve been in contact with her and she confirmed that this is not her. She reported it to Bluesky, but the account is still there, so it‘d be nice if y‘all could do the needful and report it too

"Demokratie schützt sich nicht von allein. Sie braucht Menschen. Sie braucht Haltung. Und sie braucht den politischen Willen, sie aktiv zu verteidigen und zu fördern – jeden Tag" erklärt Karamba Diaby. Sicherheit heißt, dass Demokratie lebendig bleibt und wir Haltung zeigen. Was das bedeutet:
Karamba Diaby: „Demokratie muss schützen, wer sie verteidigt“
Im Interview erzählt der ehemalige SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete Karamba Diaby warum Demokratie nur funktioniert, wenn sie Menschen schützt, die sie verteidigen.

Interested in predicting magnetism in transition metal compounds? We have written a paper on how to use exchange heuristics in such models. We also show limits of current theoretical approaches.
Please find our preprint here.

Can simple exchange heuristics guide us in predicting magnetic properties of solids?
A popular heuristic derived from the Kanamori-Goodenough-Anderson rules of superexchange connects bond angles and magnetism in certain transition metal compounds. We evaluate the fulfillment of this h...

Scientific organizations (or any really): please be aware that if you host international conferences in the US, you will be excluding quite a few people from this point on, for whom the risk is just not worth it.

Rechtsextreme setzen gezielt auf Transfeindlichkeit – zur Mobilisierung, als Brückenideologie & zur Aushöhlung demokratischer Rechte. Unsere neue Broschüre mit dem BVT* zeigt: Transfeindlichkeit ist kein Randphänomen, sondern politische Strategie, die weit über rechtsextreme Kreise hinausreicht.
Warum sind Rechtsextreme transfeindlich?
Eine neue Broschüre erklärt, wie Transfeindlichkeit in der extremen Rechten funktioniert und wie gefährlich das für uns alle ist.

This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule.

Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.
Google’s AI Overviews will not only confirm that a gibberish idiom is a real saying, it will also tell you what it means and how it was derived -- often including reference links.
