Just as Disney re-instated #JimmyKimmel, businesses will keep investing in #renewables and at one point we might realize when Trump acts like he thinks he King of the World doesn't actually make make him King of the World. Canute, with his waves, understood this!

This weekend @iwm.at is hosting the #ViennaHumantiesFestival. One of the guests is Leonie Haiden who has been giving me tips on how how to become more resilient to #FakeNews, #disinformation and #misinformation fm4.orf.at/player/20250... via @fm4.orf.at

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

How to cope with the deluge of #FakeNews? it's clear the tech giants won't help, so we have to create habits and systems where we learn to think critically but still accept their is truth that can be established by #science, facts and context. says Leone Haiden: fm4.orf.at/player/20250...

Another planetary boundary has been transgressed as our oceans turn dangerously acidic - @sabinema.bsky.social of @pik-potsdam.bsky.social explains why this is so dangerous and why quickly stopping carbon emissions is the only realistic solution: fm4.orf.at/player/20250... via @fm4.orf.at

"The World's Most Powerful Man Baby... Deranged" Daily Mirror

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

Do you think it was Mads Mikkelsen ?

Big oil company increases its predicted demand for its oil and gas #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

There is a new film coming out about downhill #skiing and of course I have been asked to review it.. after all, as you can see, I am a mega expert: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUU6...

This story from #Vienna seems only ever have been reported in the US papers... it seems #FakeNews was live and well in the 1920s. Or does anyone in Austria know better about Pierre the Orangutan? youtube.com/shorts/4LKou...

The environmental group Changing Markets Foundation says the #meat industry plans to use anti- #science misinformation to undermine a @thelancet.com report on the relationship between #diet & human and planetary health - fm4.orf.at/player/20250... @fm4.orf.at

Everyday I seem to be dealing with an anti-science backlash (more later on fm4) And every day #science brings us incredible breakthroughs - particularly those medical researchers. This story made me so happy: Fund research, fight ignorance, have hope. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

There is no much hate on the internet, so I thought what we might all need today (since there is no Sunny Side Up) is a clip of the late, great #RobertRedford #skiing with the late, great Warren Miller. (I just need Glen Plake to turn up and I'm in heaven.) youtube.com/shorts/--nS7...

I met my parents at the Johann Strauss monument in #Vienna yesterday and it reminded me that, on blustery days only, I am a classical music expert 😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQM7...

It's exactly 2 years since I was in #Brazil's precious #Cerrado savanna with @wwf.at. It's an incredibly rich and vast ecosytem that we are destroying to grow soy to feed the global #meat industry (soy for cattle/pig feed)... sadly since then it has just got worse youtu.be/UXWxX3MJiiE

It's summer in autumn and a joyous @fm4.orf.at #sunnysideup today with MC Solaar, nu and classic cumbia, a comic erotic French song involving making love while wearing clogs and carrying a rake (!!), Brazilian soul, Resi Reiner & new music from Tame Impala, 10am here: fm4.orf.at/player/live

We lost many thousands of Europeans this year in the heatwaves who would have lived on were in not for #climatechange. These deaths should be a call to action: no #mitigation will be enough if we don't cut emissions immediately and dramatically. fm4.orf.at/player/20250... via @fm4.orf.at

From a competing in the future global economy perspective... well, I have doubts about sagacity of the policy of sticking to fossil fuels and combustion engines.

I still can't quite get my head around the fact that MAGA weirdos keep coming to Europe and lecturing us on #freespeech www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdGL...

I love this podcast. And I find encouragement in this statistic: "They have 15m downloads a month and more than half their audience is under 35" I believe it is not identity politics that matter but whether something is fun and interesting. #TheRestIsHistory. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Wie sieht die humanitäre Lage aktuell in #Syrien aus? CARE-Länderdirektor David MacDonald sprach mit @christianccummins.bsky.social von @fm4.orf.at: "It is a challenge. Some families live in places with no walls and roofs. There is a huge need for reconstruction in Syria" fm4.orf.at/player/20250...

I wasn't going to have any thing at all to drink today, but then I thought "Well you don't have to be more abstemious than those chimps, why not one glass?" www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Austria wants former refugees to return to #Syria now #Assad has gone, but at @care.at I met Syria country director David MacDonald who describes neighbourhood's in rubble, ruined infrastructure and lingering fears of violence. He calls for more funding fm4.orf.at/player/20250... via @fm4.orf.at

This weekend Elon Musk seemed to think British people needed a lecture on what British culture is all about. He got it very wrong. Dear Elon, I believe it is not about the nonsense you spouted, it is rather about this: cheeky, peaceful protest and not kowtowing to rich vulgar men

As the world unravels I am sure there are many things I SHOULD be doing; but I am going to tell you what I will be doing. I will be playing this music and adopting this vibe on @fm4.orf.at's #sunnysideup this weekend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eH3...

"He stood for an America we have to keep fighting for.” Jane Fonda on #RobertRedford

Help me out, isn't this the guy who came to Munich and, in a very patronising tone, lectured Europeans on free speech? (I find the 'celebration' of any death online distasteful but I can't think of a law in a Western country that actively bans it. Free speech is not always pleasant) #freespeech

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

So #climateaction and #naturerestoration is too expensive?

1) You can assert the abhorrence of all homicidal violence. All life is valuable. 2) You can feel compassion for the grieving family 3) But that doesn't mean you have to rewrite the victim's biography to edit out the darkness.. writes Moira Donegan #CharlieKirk www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I thought I'd let Olivia Dean set the tone for this week's @fm4.orf.at #sunnysideup with "Nice To One Another". That's the plan! There's Sharktank, Leyya, Alt-J, soulful music from Taiwan & Brazil, Harry Belafonte performing in the Sotho language of southern Africa: 10am! fm4.orf.at/player/live

I've been speaking to @fm4.orf.at's US correspondent Pricilla Huff on the public and political reaction to the #CharlieKirk killing.. fm4.orf.at/player/20250...

"Violence begets violence. Increasingly divisive rhetoric, fuelled by social media echo chambers and easy access to firearms, leads to raw nerves and a heightened potential for bloodshed." #CharlieKirk www.bbc.com/news/article...

"His strongly right-wing politics were not mine or those, I imagine, of most TNW readers. But his political methods were admirable. He headed to as many campuses as he could and invited students – many of them deeply hostile – to persuade him that he was wrong." Matthew d'Ancona on #CharlieKirk

Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk. What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.

After decades of hard work, first by tobacco, then by the fossil industry, science denial is now official U.S. policy. Good luck with that, America. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Stat of the day: Globally, pets are thought to eat around 20% of the world’s meat and fish (says The Week)

My few days at #ARSelectronica made me more than a little anxious about the future of #AI. On the flip side I came across this AI story today (I read no news this summer! 🙃) which could be a massive medical breakthrough saving millions of lives... #antibiotics www.bbc.com/news/article...

This isn't normal... US news headlines in my teenage years were dominated by Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. The idea was that the US President had to have decent morals. But now everyone seems to be shrugging much worse allegations away.... #Trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Not all traffic is car traffic, thankfully. Imagine all these people driving instead…

I believe that #science belongs to us all & the #Danube belongs to all people who live near it. The #danube4all is a #citizenscience project that aims to make research feel more inclusive, empowering and beneficial for local communities. fm4.orf.at/player/20250... via @fm4.orf.at

I think my highlight at #ARSelectronica this year was chatting with tech artist Josh Harle for the need for more skepticism as we pursue new limits of the technically possible... His parents developed nuclear weapons, which was clever but.. sound.orf.at/podcast/fm4/... @fm4.orf.at

Fake news, #disinformation... it's everywhere and it is easy to fall for it and repeat it. We need to learn tools to cope At #ArsElectronica I played a game called "Breaking News" explained to me by Antonela Tommasel of @jku.at, fm4.orf.at/player/20250... via @fm4.orf.at

So Alcaraz and Sinner had to wait 37 mins to start their final at the #USOpen and thousands of fans missed the first set, so that Rolex could flirt with Donald Trump?

My favourite expression to describe a lazy person, from Spain, is trabajas menos que el sastre de Tarzán. It means “you work less than Tarzan’s tailor.”

Please come aboard the @fm4.orf.at #SunnySideUp bus for what is going to be a joyous 3 hour journey. Belarusian band SOYUZ have taken a step to freedom, there's Kati Castillo & James Hersey, as well as my favourite ever Italian song 10am fm4.orf.at/player/live

Amil Khan, who was a Reuters war correspondent in Iraq and Sudan, has witnessed how disinformation can be used to increase power or wealth by sowing dangerous instability & division.

How the "#MigrantCrisis" of ten years ago has shaped EU politics - the late summer of 2015 certainly was a turning point for Brussels, explains @jackeparrock.bsky.social fm4.orf.at/player/20250... via @fm4.orf.at

Journalist @nickthorpe.bsky.social wrote The Road Before Me Weeps, a very moving account of the experiences of migrants, refugees, and local communities. Ten years ago he was reporting on Hungary's response to what became called "The Migrant Crisis" fm4.orf.at/player/20250... @fm4.orf.at
