Jetzt mit einem ausführlichen Kommentar von Ties Rabe (HH-Schulsenator 2011-24).

I miss moderate centrists, who don’t claim to have all the answers, who don’t ascribe to either extreme ideologies or supposedly god-given rules to try and control other people, and who try to work together to settle problems aware of their own limitations. Where have they gone?

Die FAZ fragt: „Verhelfen Zeitverträge mit Nachwuchswissenschaftlern den Hochschulen zu der erforderlichen Beweglichkeit, oder liefern sie die jungen Leute der Willkür von Professoren und ihren Geldgebern aus?“ Das war am 19.09.1984. Nichts Neues unter der Sonne für #IchBinHanna

Ist nur die forschungsbasierte Lehre frei? Denn gestern sprach BVerfG (Rn 21) von der Freiheit der Forschung und der forschungsbasierten Lehre. Aber im GG ("Forschung und Lehre sind frei") tritt die Lehre eigenständig auf, wenngleich erst an 2. Stelle.

„[Sauron] has not built up his power by waiting until his enemies are secure, as we have done.“ – Gandalf

Ukraine is a much better ally to us than we are to Ukraine, which is a shame of historic proportions.

Dear Russians, this is not a terrorist attack. This is war.

Ukraine targeted your strategic bombers, not your homes.

Your own armed forces are, on the other hand, constantly terrorising Ukrainian civilians.

Republicans, do you feel proud to be supporting a President who openly admits to strongly and regularly defending the actions of a dictatorial war criminal who has invaded a democracy. Is this what you want the party to be?

Love this. Hope this moniker catches on. Please repost and share

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Die Anständigen der Union haben nicht Merz abgesägt: vielmehr wagte er sich zu weit aufs dünne Eis hinaus.

Auch wenn ich selber anders wählen werde, bin ich bisher davon ausgegangen, dass die Union die nächste Bundesregierung stellen wird. Für sie ist Herr Merz aber kein Zugpferd mehr, sondern Ballast.

'[A] problem that really needs to be worked on […], is that really good teachers are not thought of highly by the academic society. […] "publish or perish" has been a catastrophe. […] But for [people] to keep their jobs and get the proper promotion they've got to do it.' (Hannah Arendt, 13.07.1972)

Lovely that German Protestantism's Jahreslosung 2025 is that Bible verse from Lakatos' Proofs and Refutations.
TEACHER: I am even willing to set out to 'prove' a false conjecture!
THETA: I don't follow you.
KAPPA: He just follows the New Testament: 'Prove all things; hold fast that which is good'

Als Briter, der zuerst 13 Jahre in NRW wohnte und dann vor 18 Jahre nach Thüringen zog, frage ich: Wann bekommen wir endlich eine Wahrheits- und Versöhnungskommission zur Untersuchung der ersten Jahre nach der Wiedervereinigung? [Treuhand und co.]

A famous thinker recently said it "would be odd to oppose something without understanding it". By contrast, an evangelist says that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not: and despite being Christian and not Zoroastrian, he clearly implies that darkness opposes light.

Oh, and a bonus chart that I think will fry a lot of people’s brains and break a lot of narratives:

For all the talk of six figure costs of college in the States, here’s how much debt graduates leave university with in the UK and US vs other countries

600 days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine and Ukrainians are standing and fighting. According to recent polls, more than 80% of Ukrainians are against any territorial concessions as that would mean Russian terror and oppression. Please continue to #StandWithUkraine
