A person has died. By the train in which I was sitting. What remains is not only shock – but also the question: Why do we find it so difficult to become still when life comes to a standstill? olafgrewe.substack.com/p/a-little-h...

Susan Rice on Pete Hegseth attacking DEI while betraying his own incompetence: "If you're a white, Christian, cisgender, macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That's apparently what we've learned from this episode."

Autocrats brazenly broadcast their lies to the world, cheerfully twisting facts to justify their wars. Our moral compass is utterly deranged. What can we do to protect ourselves? The answer: think scientifically and critically. open.substack.com/pub/olafgrew...

Simple answers to complex topics? 🤔 Not really. But we, as comms professionals, can help reframe these topics and communicate them more effectively. The recent event in the Oval Office was the tipping point that pushed me to finalize my blog post. open.substack.com/pub/olafgrew...

When hate spreads and violence becomes the new normal to fight political opponents, then we need to be cautious. And Zuckerberg kicks out Factchecker and leaves it to the crowd. Not too wise imho #conspiracytheories olafgrewe.substack.com/p/the-milita...

More details on the Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” which launched a new campaign on Bluesky earlier, investigated by @eliothiggins.bsky.social. No social platform can avoid #Misinformation, it's how they deal with it that matters.

🔔 Klartext: Wer Elon Musk heute noch unterstützt, unterstützt den systematischen Angriff auf unsere Demokratie. 💰 Mit Milliarden im Rücken hebelt er unsere freiheitliche Grundordnung aus. 🎭 Seine Maske? "Freies Unternehmertum" und "Meinungsfreiheit". olafgrewe.ch/2024/12/21/d...

New York City is served by three major airports — LaGuardia, Kennedy or Newark Liberty (in New Jersey, an entirely different state) — and there is no easy way to get to them. For residents, devising a way to ease the journey is its own holiday ritual.

“An online course founded by…Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users. … A source with knowledge of the breach told the @dailydot.bsky.social …that the platform’s security was described as “hilariously insecure.”” www.dailydot.com/debug/andrew...
