Ask yourself, "How does this help answer my research question?"

Im französischen Fernsehen haben sie den CSU-Chef Markus Söder analysiert - als "Gastro-Populisten". Und manchmal hilft der Blick von außen, um eine PR-Strategie besser zu verstehen. Sehenswert!

Months of waiting but my review copy of The War on Science has arrived.

I read Krauss’ introduction. What the fuck happened to this man? He comes off as incapable of basic research, argument, basic scholarship.

He sounds stupid.

I look into strange claims he makes and they’re demonstrably false

Steven Colbert: Canceled. Jimmy Kimmel: Canceled. Es wäre witzig, wenns nicht so traurig wäre. Die Rechte installiert genau die Politics, die sie einer Linken vorwirft. Das gilt auch für Deutschland. CDUCSU beklagen linken Kulturkampf und machen Kulturkampf von rechts. Lasst euch nicht verarschen.

Im Mai 2021 stand die Union bei Forsa bei 24%, die Grünen bei 27% & die AfD bei 10%.

Dann gingen die systematischen Attacken gegen die Grünen richtig los.

Und heute steht die Union bei 25%, die Grünen bei 12% & die AfD bei 26%.

Eine Strategie, von der die Union nicht profitiert, aber die AfD.

Ich möchte ja schon das „Linke“ im Titel in Frage stellen.
Ich bin mir zu 98% sicher, dass das was sie meinen nicht „die Linke“ ist, sondern eine Mischung aus Anstand, Höflichkeit, allgemeiner gesellschaftlicher Fortschritt, bürgerlicher Liberalismus und progressiver Neoliberalismus.
