"Vielleicht ist das gerade der Punkt, an dem man aufhört, mitzukommen.

Nicht resigniert, nicht apathisch – eher so, als würde man in Zeitlupe erkennen, dass alles, was man je als „normal“ bezeichnet hat, längst abgewickelt wird."

A version of the princess-leia-meme where an officer hands Leia the plans to the death star. In the meme the hand of the officer is carrying a picture of Zohran Mamdani.

Kurze Durchsage an die FAZ-Kollegen: Zwei Prozent mehr Einkommensteuer für Millioneneinkommen und günstiger ÖPNV sind nicht linksradikal, sonst wäre es die SPD auch.

Der Irrsinn wie auch die Logik der VWL besteht darin, die Notwendigkeiten und Zwänge des Kapitalismus zu beschreiben als allgemeine Zwänge „des Wirtschaftens“ und sie damit zu verewigen, zur Natur zu machen

if you can't refuse, can't opt out (let alone any notion of opt in), can't inform a "more human-centered" blah blah blah, can't escape... then what options do we all have, except to destroy systems that target and harm people?

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets

Ah yes, the holiday where everyone wears a "scare people away" costume. I am more interested in the "dont scare people away" costume you all seem to be wearing the rest of the year and where I can get one.

Der Bundesverfassungsschutz wird bald 75 Jahre alt. Guter Zeitpunkt, mit dem Mythos aufzuräumen, Marx und Post-Kapitalismus seien "undemokratisch". Im Dissens-Podcast spricht Alex Demirović anlässlich seines Buchs "Marx als Demokrat" genau darüber 👇

"Wenn also Influencer*innen ausgerechnet mit einer Behindertenwerkstatt kooperiert, ist das kein persönlicher Fehltritt, sondern ein Paradebeispiel für diese Selbsttäuschung: die Idee, man könne strukturelle Ausbeutung moralisch überdecken, indem man sie ästhetisiert."

A reminder that CEO of bluesky Jay said a while ago she'd welcome Trump if he joined

www.wired.com/story/big-in...
Democratic Party stars like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have also joined Bluesky. Are you doing anything to court celebrities and influencers? We’re doing some community outreach. We’re seeing a lot of growth in sectors with maybe not as big celebrities but a lot of traction, like sports media. The sports reporter Mina Kimes came on and created a starter pack, which got a lot of followers very quickly. We have game devs, we have sports, we have science. Would you welcome President Trump? Yeah—Bluesky’s for everyone, and we think that over time, the broader public conversation needs to be on an open protocol. That lets people choose their own moderation preferences. We think that it’s flexible enough to serve every use case and everyone.

People keep mentioning a new book by Rainer Mühlhoff, titled “KI und der neue Faschismus” (“AI and the new fascism”), to me.

Unfortunately, the book is an example of “convenience criticism”. It narrows the horizon of possibilities for fighting fascism.

Good text.

Reminds me of a quote from a famous Biden-administration advisor: "Transparency is usually a substitute for actually doing something."
petertarras.bsky.social Peter Tarras @petertarras.bsky.social · 27d
Andrea Reyes Elizondo @altibel.bsky.social and I have responded to a blog, recently published on @leidenmadtrics.bsky.social, which argued that using AI responsibly in research means being transparent about it. We object that supposed transparency obscures more fundamental ethical questions.
Why AI transparency is not enough
Recently, a taxonomy to disclose the use of generative AI (genAI) in research outputs was presented as an approach that creates transparency and thereby supports responsible genAI use. In this post we...

Over on the other (actually decentralised) network I wrote a bit about Ursula K. Le Guin's book "The Dispossessed" and why neurodivergent readers might relate to the fictional (but practically relevant) story about an anarchist scientist struggling for social change.

Looking at the meltdown of what is left of Bluesky's former semi-liberal brand I feel like this site here has irrecoverably startet its own exodus-timer.

With that in mind I'd kindly remind everyone that there are different solutions available, most prominently: Mastodon*

By the way, this is blatantly not true if you look at the way they suspended a bunch of people after Kirk's death. You can absolutely harass these people into moderating the way you want them to, you just have to be a right winger.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.
