Just finished the new Netflix documentary on the 7/7 and 21/7 terrorist attacks in London and im quite disappointed. 4 episodes with not much depth. Only Abu Hamza was bamed as reason behind the attack...glad i read @raffpantucci's book before watching the documentary.

I can't wrap my head around how people defend Musk showing the Hitlergruß. He saluted twice before he briefly added that he gave his heart to everyone. If Musk is as intelligent as they say, then this was a deliberate move and no outburst of emotions.

Der mutmaßliche Attentäter von #Magdeburg ist wohl alles andere als ein Islamist, im Netz finden sich zahlreiche sehr wirre Äußerungen. Er sieht sich offenbar als saudischer Dissident und Apostat. Und fürchtete wohl die Islamisierung Deutschlands. ⬇️

Anschlag auf Weihnachtsmarkt in #Magdeburg: Der Tatverdächtige war als politischer Flüchtling anerkannt, der sich vom Islam losgesagt und dem saudi-arabischen Königshaus abgewandt hat. Er gilt als Dissident. In Sachsen-Anhalt arbeitete er als Arzt.

Car-ramming attack on christmas market in #Magdeburg. Perpetrator apparently in custody. No confirmed number of casualties yet, also still unclear if there is any political background.

Friends recommended me #ChatGPT after I got stuck with my r code and it's really helpful. Now I'm asking myself, if that is the only non-fraudulent way of using it for academic work. How do you use #ChatGPT to support your research? #AcademicBlueSky
