Russland will die Menschen in Kyjiw und der gesamten Ukraine in Dunkelheit und Kälte bomben. Nicht zusehen und abwarten sondern Taurus liefern, Schattenflotte stoppen, Visa für Russen canceln, jetzt!

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

This is really one of the best charts by @ourworldindata.org 📊 Amazing how much research and work goes into creating a chart like this. And it's such a good insight into society.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks. On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

“One of the saddest lessons of history: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle… It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken… Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan

„It’s not fascism unless the military is used against the population.“ Well.

OTD in 2015 Russia began bombing Syria. -we denied we'd do it -we then did it -we bombed lots of hospitals, shopping centers & schools to create refugees -we said it would be WW3 if NATO got involved -when NATO helped throw us out we just ran away Sound familiar?

When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that. One summer I went on that bus to go volunteer in an old people's home in Southend-on-Sea. I had just turned 18 and was... 🧵

This year, the world will deploy between 700 and 800 GW of solar, probably. Might sneak over the 800 GW value. If it does, it puts us on pace to deploy 1 TW in 2026. None of the adults in the room are projecting 1 GW in 2026, because you know, it’s gotta slowdown *sometime*. Right?

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

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...

Knowledge is elitist. Education is snobby. Expertise is detached. The only way to be truly "democratic” is to crowd-source reality. That has been the political vibe of the last ten years, not just in Britain, and it is the road to ruin. The pandemic probably didn’t help.

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.

Oxford has been around since 1096. Imagine tossing almost a thousand years of academic reputation into the garbage, setting it on fire, and then pissing it out over a useless fucking plagiarism machine what loses billions of dollars a year telling people to kill themselves.

signal-noise-ratio can fall even as signal increases if noise increases at a faster rate and your ability to filter noise does not improve

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

I confess I become increasingly irritated with Brits who inform me in what kind of deep trouble my country is in, and how blind we are supposedly to this, at a time when right wing nationalism is surging in Britain and NATO is hanging by a thread. My Friends. We are in the same boat.

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

Elon Musk hat auf einer Großdemonstration zu Gewalt aufgerufen. Doch die Bundesregierung und viele Medien sind weiterhin auf seiner Plattform X. Was muss eigentlich noch passieren, bis sie diesem gewaltbereiten Rechtsradikalen den Rücken kehren? Ein Kommentar. netzpolitik.org/2025/komment...

Wir sollten eigentlich mal darüber diskutieren, ob wir X verbieten sollten in der EU, aber unsere Regierung hat noch nicht mal damit aufgehört, diese Plattform zu nutzen.

Die Reaktionen auf den Mord an Kirk zeigen klar, wie deutsche Konservative den Trumpschen Stil aus Halbwahrheiten, wilden Beschuldigungen und Hass kopieren. Das ist keine spontane Gefühlswallung, sondern Strategie. Millionenschwere (US-)Stiftungen und rechtskonservative Netzwerke arbeiten daran 🧵

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

It's feel like we're counting down to the first mass killing of US citizens by the US military.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

"If you are a student, a professor, or a self-taught intellectual — fight. Fight by refusing to abandon your humanity, your originality, and your will to explore... Do not submit to anyone, including the plagiarized digital detritus called “AI.” Read and think on your own terms with your own words."

My thinking on this is guided by the heuristic that researchers should be reviewing around twice as many papers as they submit, since each paper needs at least two reviewers. There are currently very long delays in the review process because this equilibrium is not being achieved.

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to @ellenrykers.com for pointing me to it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...
