Boomer radicalisation is such a ln overlooked problem

Wow. It won’t but wow.

the dailup sound was a protection spell the computer said for us every time we went online but we thought we were too good for it. we wanted to be on the phone and the computer at the same time. we wanted to be on the phone and the computer at the same time and now we’re fucked

It is 2025. Your computer writes essays for you, if you can get the start menu to work.

Unglaublich. Vielleicht noch’n Poster dazu von den “coolsten” Rechten?

Appreciation tweet for Luxembourg’s METRO band, never forget the great music you made.

This is the story.

I can understand that.

Für den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt wäre es sehr zuträglich, wenn Menschen wieder Kopfhörer für ihre Telefonate benutzen. Oder das Telefon einfach wie im letzten Jahrtausend ans Ohr halten.

Gott a wuel och e lëtzebuerger Geriicht. 🤷🏼‍♀️ De Sport spillt eng grouss Roll beim Krééiere vu Virbiller. Wa mer eppes géint « toxesch Maskulinitéit »  maache wëllen, da komm mer weise Jongen, dass gewalttäteg Behuelen net toleréiert gëtt an Täter net och nach eng eenorm Bühn kréien.

Look I just know I’m not a good pilot.

The Great Wall of China may not be visible from space but Almería's greenhouses certainly are. An essential piece in European supermarket supply chains, migrant workers toil in their heat to keep our tomatoes cheap. Illegal wages and slums without electricity, running water or sanitation.

Wow, what a horrific typo. Right on the cover.

You might not know it but Gallium Nitride (GaN) is apparently of a wait for it… Wurtzite yes Wurtzite compound structure.

a huge amount of elite weirdness over the past 10 years has been driven by people who are mostly politically conservative but don't see themselves at the type of person (socially) who is conservative and can't reconcile the two facts

I think a lot of artificial intelligence conversations are free will conversations pretending to be math conversations.

People want to consume media that flatters them instead of challenging them, and there’s now a way to do that at scale, and that incentivizes the production of it. This synergizes well with something @opinionhaver.bsky.social said that has really stuck with me:

Wow, das nenne ich Mut! Max kommt aus Sachsen-Anhalt, geht in die 10. Klasse und schreibt auf X: "Seit 5 Jahren laufen Querdenker ungestört durch meinen Wohnort. Keine Gegenrede. Heute habe ich mir ein Herz gefasst, bin zum “offenen Mikrofon” gegangen (...)". Aber seht selbst. 1/2

As a soon to be middle-aged man it is normal to get into birding and while I appreciate the esthetics of magpies (the iridescence is a bit too much but it’s their style whatever), they clearly act like jerks to other birds. I yell at them from my kitchen window unsuccesfully.

Iwwerliewen an der Kuerz-Zäit - All Schaffdag gëtt Photovoltaik installéiert, laang net just bei early adopters, well et finanziell Sënn mëcht etc. - dat schaaft Fakten. Ideologie gouff geruff, mee méi Leit verstinn datt dat just Niwwel war, e Kipp-Punkt ass erreecht an d’Elektrificatioun gewënnt.

I find “people don’t actually know how things work” has a lot of explanatory power. I don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way. I’m only vaguely aware of how my microwave or the car radio work. A lot of modern life is assuming the functioning of complex tech and models.

The word of the day is circuit breaker.

Für diesen Post gab es damals scharfe Kritik. Der Medienredakteur der @faznet.bsky.social rückte Kollegen und mich in die Nähe von Verschwörungstheoretikern. Nun, mein Post kam nicht ganz out of the blue, zumal ich damals an der MSC teilnahm.🧵

Some eye-poppingly bad views on the Le Pen judgment kicking about this morning. Call me old fashioned but if I didn’t want to be declared unfit for public office I just wouldn’t criminally abuse public money on an industrial scale.
