Aufgrund der Gefährdungslage werde ich in den kommenden Wochen weniger öffentlich auftreten und auf die öffentliche Ankündigung von Veranstaltungen verzichten. Meine wissenschaftliche Arbeit zum türkischen Rechtsextremismus wird fortgesetzt. Einschüchterungsversuche werden mich nicht davon abhalten.

But sometimes, they need their own space.

As you can see in this picture, #GuineaPigs are highly social creatures who enjoy the company of their kind.

Protecting the piggies from airborne and feline predators while they enjoy their lunch on the lawn. I should be at my desk, revising an article after peer-review, but this is much more satisfying. Short #AcademicBreak with #GuineaPig support.

Hubble could use a friend. We socialize him, as we do the rabbits and other piggies in rescue foster. But Guinea pigs are social and love to have friends within their species. Hubble is neutered so if you have a girl piggy that needs a friend let us know and we’ll set up a date. [email protected]

The #GuineaPigs had a lunch of freshly cut grass. Artemis ("Temmi") sat on the food so nobody could steal from her. Cassiopeia ("Kessi"), seen only by her butt in the top right corner of the image, had to periodically check something in the cardboard box. Then they all took a nap in the shade.

Past and present, #ScanLines and #pixels, #DNA and #code, #dinosaur hide and #CheckedShirts. RIP Sam Neill.

"Ismail Küpeli ist eine der bekanntesten, fundiertesten wissenschaftlichen Stimmen hierzulande zum Einfluss des türkischen Rechtsextremismus in Deutschland. Er erlebt Anfeindungen und Einschüchterungsversuche, die darauf zielen, seine Forschung zu diskreditieren und ihn zum Schweigen zu bringen"

“We cannot choose to become idiots.” Well … #AI

Early lunch with backyard #GuineaPigs Snofru, Artemis (not visible because inside the box on the left), Persephone, Penelope, Juno and Cassiopeia (clockwise from left to right).

Und natürlich war es Habermas, den ich nicht erkannte. 😂

Raus nach fünf.

Neben den Morddrohungen gibt es weitere Versuche der türkischen Rechtsextremisten mich einzuschüchtern: neben Hassnachrichten erlebe ich immer häufiger juristische Angriffe, in denen versucht wird, von Datenschutz bis hin zu Persönlichkeitsrechte alles zu aktivieren,um mich zum Schweigen zu bringen.

NEW RESEARCH: One German tabloid coined one word. "Heizungshammer" spread to 1,100+ articles and helped to effectively kill Germany's heating law. We analysed 333 BILD articles to trace how tabloid framing became legislation. Out today, open access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Spinal Tap?

Old enough to recognize this as a data center

So Net Neutrality has fallen under the onslaught of "AI". E.g., cpuworld.com blocks me because I'm supposedly in a data center range, while I'm connected via Vienna's prevalent cable provider. (They are blocking an entire capital city because of some actor.) Something has do be done about this.

#CRT #RetroTech

Temperatur in der Küche momentan: 36,0° Celsius. Also heute abend vielleicht doch keine TK-Pizza aus dem Ofen.

Wie man's macht, ist es falsch.

11:30 Uhr, 33,0° Celsius in der Küche. Also kein dritter Cappuccino heute. Stattdessen: Eiskaffee. Ersetzt kalorienmäßig auch eine Mahlzeit, brauche also gleich nicht den Herd anmachen. Win-win.

Today, I'm going to listen to the Beach Boys all day and imagine I'm lying on a beach in California.

Bud Fraker’s shot of Audrey Hepburn on the set of Roman Holiday, in 1953, is one of the great Hollywood portraits.

Gillian Anderson & David Duchovny

Am Ende eines langen, heißen Arbeitstages habe ich zwei große Teller lauwarmen #Nudelsalat verschlungen. Es war fantastisch, aber jetzt ist alles aus.

„Es geht um die industrielle Zukunft Europas“. 🤔 Knapp vorbei ist auch daneben.

29,8° Celsius in der Küche. Mir egal. I'm going in: dritter #Cappuccino des Tages.

One pig, two pics. Persephone (“Percy”) squatting and hopping. #GuineaPig

Young Persephone (“Percy”) next to Snofru, the sole (neutered) male of the herd—and its, somewhat reluctant, leader since the death of undisputed senior lady Minerva (“Mimi”) in February. #GuineaPig

In Köln war dann alles wieder beim Alten: Zugausfälle, Verspätungen, Gleiswechsel. Matrix is healing.

Persephone (“Percy”). She’s so hot right now. #GuineaPig

Glitch in der Matrix? Alle Züge der DB, mit denen ich heute fahre (und es sind viele), sind nur leicht verspätet wtf

Die Konversationen einer Gruppe von jungen Männern und Frauen in der Regionalbahn über „jaw line“ usw. sind gruselig mitanzuhören.

Returning home from a fantastic conference on #Technostalgia in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 hosted by Valérie Schafer and her colleagues. Great talks, great discussions! Met old friends and made new ones. Stayed at a hotel befitting #media #archaeology and #nostalgia.

Arriving (late, because of Deutsche Bahn) in lovely #Luxembourg 🇱🇺 for #Technostalgia conference. Looking forward to meeting my wonderful colleagues and to our discussions! #Media #History #Technology

The herd, from left to right: Artemis (“Temmi”), Snofru, Persephone (“Percy”), Juno, Penelope (“Penny”), and Cassiopeia (“Kessi”).

Newcomer #GuineaPig girl Penelope (“Penny”) still very camera-shy and not quite ready to join the herd outside.

Just messing with msx basic..
