"In der Praxis gibt fast jede zweite befragte Frau (49 Prozent) an, sich im Berufsleben aufgrund ihres Geschlechts bereits benachteiligt gefühlt zu haben." Und die Betriebe pfeifen wieder zunehmend darauf. We live in Backlash Times. Statt besser, wird es schlechter

Surely not a coincidence…

Khamenei believed to have been killed in Iran www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u... Pentagon cutting ties with seven think tanks: CSIS, New America, Brookings, the Atlantic Council, CNAS, CFR and Stimson Center.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

#Breaking an official with the EU naval mission Aspides says vessels have been receiving transmission from Iran's revolutionary guards saying no ship is allowed to pass the strait of Hormuz

In case you thought this won’t cause a wider war in the ME:

This statement is scary. Kallas can’t even bring herself to condemn US admin:

I really don’t understand why there is so much unfounded euphoria in Europe (Germany specifically) that this illegal attack on Iran will lead to more stable outcomes and in the long run to less suffering and killing.

Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. It’s a Mad King war.

“Empire of AI” by Karen Hao really revealed Sam Altman to be astonishingly dishonest person. Truly disturbing for him to have so much power

TL; DR He wants to murder more children.

Hey, remember when Sam Altman was abruptly fired from OpenAI back in 2023 - but only briefly? No reason, no reason. Hey, what was the plot of Terminator again?

Here's one we baked already www.programmablemutter.com/p/who-loses-...

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

one of the funniest things to keep coming out of the anthropic reporting is that the pentagon was trying to convince amodei by proposing elaborate hypothetical scenarios. buddy do you think an EFFECTIVE ALTRUIST has never considered a bizarrely specific and elaborate hypothetical scenario??

one way of seeing anthropic vs. the pentagon is as a fissure between the two silicon valley tribes most enthusiastic about ai: "rationalists" and "accelerationists" maxread.substack.com/p/what-anthr...

What’s funny is that Anthropic is saying that their RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY products should not be making kill decisions, but military leaders should.

Yarvin äußert auf Elmau „Nothing is ever impressive, when it’s weak“. Verachtung von Schwäche = Merkmal des Faschismus. Die SZ ist jedoch ganz fasziniert, beschreibt ihn als "furchterregend enttäuschten Idealisten", als "das große andere zum liberaldemokratischen Establishment".

Schon vergangenen Donnerstag, 19. Februar, hatte Yarvin in der Wiener Josefstadt in der Alberthalle – dem ehemaligen Sitz der Hitlerjugend – eine Lesung auf Einladung des Orbán-nahen rechtskonservativen Magazins „The European Conservative“ abgehalten. Fotostrecke: flic.kr/s/aHBqjCKVA3

Einen Tag nach dem Wiener Akademikerball (21. Februar) richtete die rechtsextreme IB-Studierendengruppe "Aktion 451" im Wiener Ferdinandihof eine Lesung des US-Neofaschisten Curtis Yarvin aus. Zahlreiche Führungsfiguren der IBÖ, aber auch der IBD nahmen teil. Fotostrecke: flic.kr/s/aHBqjCLzqV

I hope someone gives John Oliver a new home after he's fired

Just a reminder that this happened two days ago. David Ellison is the nepo baby who runs Paramount/Skydance and brought on Bari Weiss to destroy CBS News. He will now run Warner Bros and CNN after the likely merger.

Pro Trump, Pro Netanyahu fanatics Larry and David Ellison will most likely now control Paramount, CBS, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros, and TikTok

Block the Paramount/Warner Bros deal, Dems in California. Play hardball.

Thursday: Warner's says Paramount bid is superior, Netflix pulls out. Trump has steered CNN's parent company to a crony, who already owns CBS News. www.mediamatters.org/cnn/paramoun...

A senior CBS News staffer expressed sympathy for employees at CNN who are frustrated and upset over the Paramount news. "I need to keep reminding myself it can - and will - always get worse," the staffer told me, adding that CNN staffers "should" be freaking out since "it's hell over here."

really not in the mood to have to approve of anthropic but…

Gates did say that he had an affair with a “Russian bridge player who met me at bridge events, and one with a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities”. You gotta be kidding me... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Very good piece

United States abstains in UN vote on support for peace in Ukraine. Fascist Russia voted against. The US objected to text in the resolution on the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the need to achieve a just peace. Under Trump, the US has fallen so very far, so very fast.

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How ironic:

Anthropic told defense officials that it did not want its A.I. used for mass surveillance of Americans or deployed in autonomous weapons that had no humans in the loop Mr. Hegseth and others in the Pentagon were furious that Anthropic would resist the military’s using A.I. as it saw fit.

Seeing Trump and Kash Patel interact with the men’s hockey team is a solid example of how misogyny functions as a male bonding ritual. Patel is clearly trying to impress the athletes and Trump, Trump is trying to impress the athletes, and the athletes are trying to impress the president
