I think you people have bigger problems than this

This piece by Rebecca Solnit is one of the most deeply moving explorations of what tech takes from us, how it transforms us, how it demands we become more like it and less human, that I've read www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

So, socialism. ;)

*boop*

Josina Manu Maltzman hears echoes of the other occupation.

Of course, as anyone with even passing knowledge of Trumpism could tell you, there were plenty of so-called "libertarians" and lib foundations/institutes that fueled Trump's rise with their active, willing, visceral, public support. Curiously missing from this piece. Hint: it's the racism.

Wake up, workers of the world, a new second-person plural pronoun dropped.

I know we’re all having to focus on everything all the time, and it’s impossible and overwhelming, but this from Iran is worth some of your attention, if you can spare it. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Wissenschaft droht sich abhängig zu machen von KI — & sollte dringend gegensteuern: Das haben @maximilianiras.bsky.social & ich vor ziemlich genau 2 Jahren in der FAZ geschrieben. Seitdem sehen wir das Gegenteil: Academia buckelt vorm KI-Hype. Epistemische oder ethische Bedenken: Nebensache. Bitter!

Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name. "These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

If there are people studying our era in the future, they will be amazed that all that is unfolding was entirely predictable Every post on my wall is like: - how fascism is being enabled - how it could easily be countered - how the people in power do the opposite while pretending to care

im sitting on a train in front of a guy who's reading foucault's history of sexuality I (looking like foucault himself). should i spoil it for him, or would that be too evil?

Wowwwwww

since you all seem to like cat pics, here's one with Mr. Fat Fuck✨️

It’s good to see papers start to address LLMs as structural plagiarism — provenance, more hidden than the original words or training data. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

what a great episode of @futurehistories.bsky.social! Found it while working on a prezi on "resisting AI's command and the fascism in us all" and it's been a really fruitful framework✨️ open.spotify.com/episode/7Lwt...

"Education at its best sparks curiosity and critical thought. “Bullshit education” does the opposite: it trains people to tolerate meaninglessness, to accept automation of their own thinking, to value credentials over competence."

core philosophy moment: writing abstracts at 3am Schleswig doesn't seem to approve

Save the date: I am very excited to be part of this roundtable with some amazing colleagues — on February 16 at HU Berlin, Matteo Pasquinelli, @annanosthoff.bsky.social, @rainermuehlhoff.bsky.social and yours truly will discuss our perspectives on the «Critique of AI», moderated by Jacob Blumenfeld

I'm beyond grateful that the book from @manongarcia.bsky.social finally landed in my hands. I devoured it overnight and, honestly, it brought me an unexpected sense of peace, as it resonated with my own lived experience. I'm very much looking forward to discussing it at our colloquium in January!

Really smart piece on how to think about democracy amidst the failure of shared knowledge.

oh, now I get it

"In the images of the area, even the sunlight looks different and otherworldly. I couldn’t figure out why, until I realised it was because there were no structures to filter it. No shade, no shadows. A home returned to is just a plot on which to pitch another tent and wait for aid."

„Das #Erinnerungskonzept #Kolonialismus ist in dieser Form beispielgebend, weil es ein Arbeitsauftrag von der Zivilgesellschaft für die Politik ist – und weil es im Gegensatz zum #Gedenkstättenkonzept des Bundes auch das Gedenken an die Verbrechen des Kolonialismus in den Fokus nimmt“ Dr. Ibou Diop

wuppertaler Herbstschule day 1👀 yapped a lot about abolition, epistemic advantage, and grappled with the question of "can men read texts in feminist way" 💅✨️

YES! THIS on GenAI! Please read this absolutely splendid piece of writing that had me cheering, a little bit weepy, and writing in the margins: "An extraordinary amount of money is spent by the AI industry to ensure that acquiescence is the only plausible response. But marketing is not destiny."

The fascism is the colonialism. The colonialism is the fascism. They’re expressions of the exactly the same project—a spatialized regime of racial expropriation, exploitation, & genocide.

Charlie Kirk war nicht „rechtskonservativ“. Er war in den letzten Jahren dem Spektrum des White Nationalism zuzuordnen, ein Faschist und offen rechtsextrem, hat gegen BPoC und LGBTQ Menschen gehetzt, ein radikaler Sexist obendrein. Man kann seine Ermordung verurteilen ohne ihn zu verharmlosen.

"How Do We Tell the Story of Gaza’s Murdered Journalists? Steven W. Thrasher on Trying to Make Sense of a Slaughter" my latest in @literaryhub.bsky.social lithub.com/how-do-we-te...

„Yet in Germany – a country that prides itself on having learned the lessons of its own genocidal history – some of the most powerful media institutions have played a part in enabling Israel’s actions. Some German journalists have even justified the killing of their Palestinian colleagues.“

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I am absolutely DISGUSTED & HORRIFIED that someone can present on 'killjoys' at an event with an IDF office & a speaker from the IDF. Shame on you! Katharina Klappheck GET THAT WORD OUT OF YOUR PAPER & THIS EVENT! White supremacy = this. Genocide = this. NO to this! www.hsu-hh.de/ztb/tagungsp...

Bei extremer Hitze forschen, lehren, studieren …? Viele dt. Hochschulen haben bislang keinen Plan, der heiße Tage erträglicher macht. Spoiler: „Viel trinken, morgens lüften, luftige Kleidung“ ist noch kein taugliches Hitzekonzept! Dabei ließe sich mehr tun. Konkrete Vorschläge in #ArbeitInDerWiss!

Gern geschehen, lieber Spiegel.
