Was die SVP will? Billige Arbeitskräfte statt Menschen. Was die SVP dafür tut? Den bewährten, von rechts bis linksliberal in der Schweiz verankerten Rassismus schüren: Dichtestress, Arbeitsplätze, Wohnungen ... Wer einknickt? FDPMitte und Teile der GLP und der SP. Ich geh kotzen. #10MillionenSchweiz

And then I discovered that the creator of comic strip "Mutts" put out a book collection in 2020, the cover of which was a tribute to Zappa's Hot Rats album. No doubt, it got lost amidst the pandemic (at least to me). May have to get this one.... #musicsky #music #comics #zappa #hotrats

Always grateful to visit Stephane Grappelli’s magical music room at his home in Paris. Thank you!!!!!! 🎻🌎🎹🤎

"You know, the young ones get confused about me being able to play with them. Hell, I was listening to Stravinsky when I was a kid. It's not a question of being modern. It's just music. That's what music is - adventure." Coleman Hawkins November 21, 1904 - May 19, 1969

Are different ways of developing machine learning possible? Maybe, but hardly under current political and economic conditions. Many critiquing AI remember the promises once attached to the open web – actively destroyed by the very same actors now pushing AI 6/

In its current form, what is called AI – again, not reducible machine learning technologies – is a product of platform capitalism, and its large-scale implementation is used to solidify dominant and increasingly monopolistic power and property relations. Of course, this has to be rejected 5/

I hear critical positions towards so-called «artificial intelligence» nowadays framed more and more as «rejectionism», and this is especially formulated as a critique of the left. The argument often goes something like this: Rather than seeing the potentials of AI, the left merely rejects it 1/

WTF, NYer. "If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work..." We do not. So much for the bastion of erudite journalism. This is sensationalism, damaging our most vital institution: education. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

Die #SVP will mit ihrer Initiative nicht weniger Zuwanderer:innen, die sie in Wahrheit mit ihrer Standortpolitik zu Hunderttausenden ins Land gelockt hat, wie Statistiken zeigen. Sie will ihnen Rechte nehmen und den Wohlstand im Land umverteilen. 👇🏼 @republik.ch www.republik.ch/2026/05/11/w...

Vielleicht naiv, aber es spricht mir aus der Seele!

I’m aware this is news to CBS and this dude but we were literally shouting about this a year ago, it’s not unearthed, and it’s even stupider than you think: the cruise ships paid their salaries. It literally paid more than it cost. We gave money back rather than control disease because RFK

Incredibly, in their hantavirus communiqué, the WHO does not recommend respirators when in contact with suspected or confirmed cases, and brings the infamous "aerosol-generating procedures". I for one would feel better wearing a respirator when facing a patient infected with a 30% mortality virus.

So IF it’s true that the French person sat with a two rows distance to the infected woman and had never been on the ship then “prolonged close contact” is bullshit, then it’s airborne. #Hantavirus
