1. Trump's brain is paranoid mush 2. Trump's paranoid mush-brain is looking for scapegoats to blame when it comes to the impending collapse of his position in US politics after the mid-terms 3. Trump's desperate search for scapegoats will focus on Ukraine, Canada and Europe

Frage: Sind die Algorithmen, die einen immer größeren Anteil der Information weiter Teile der Bevölkerung steuern, nicht auch Teil der „kritischen Infrastruktur“? Vielleicht sogar noch mehr als Autobahnbrücken?

Ich war ja mal Wechselwählerin. Ich habe zweimal Angela Merkel gewählt. Dann hat die CDU beschlossen, Leuten nachzulaufen, die Angst vor Lastenrädern haben und Einwanderern Zahnarzttermine missgönnen. Und jetzt bin ich keine Wechselwählerin mehr.

My most boomer opinion is that you should be able to connect a printer straight out of the box with a cable to the pc and print. No wifi, no bluetooth, no freaking app.

Ein Komiker, dem es sehr häufig darum geht, was man angeblich alles nicht mehr sagen darf, will einen Kommentar über sein Programm verbieten. Ich vermute mal, das soll ein practical joke sein. Alles andere wäre schon sehr … komisch.

derstandard.atDieter Nuhr verlangt Löschung eines Kommentars und droht dem STANDARD mit KlageAnlass ist der Kommentar "Bei Dieter Nuhr müssen selbst Femizide für eine Pointe herhalten". Nuhr TV erwägt rechtliche Schritte, der STANDARD weist die Kritik zurück

The most dangerous wrong ideas in public policy are the ones that sound so intuitively true that any attempt to push back or even nuance them can be sneeringly dismissed as academic foolishness that flies in the face of 'common sense'. I... may have written a book about this. 👀

I can excuse @iaindale.bsky.social's ignorance here. Just because anyone with a very basic economics education should recognise the lump of labour fallacy doesn't mean he should. But the arrogance combined with the absolutely deliberate refusal to think is quite remarkable.

It’s a special kind of pleasure to see a Russian investment and a MAGA endorsement backfire massively ☺️

2. Ties to Russia... not good! Being anti-Ukraine fell flat for Orban despite a huge propaganda effort. 3. Ties to Trump... also not good! Expect ramped up efforts to tie far-right parties to Trump and for far-right parties to distance themselves. In general, anti-American rhetoric will ramp up. 2/

This morning, I was at Pearl’s Bagels eating a bagel and lox, chatting with the lady behind me about the war. Her three-year-old chimed in and said that Trump was vastly underestimating the geopolitical consequences that will reverberate from another war in the Middle East.

Alle die Rubio auf der @munsecconf.bsky.social applaudiert haben, dürfen sich jetzt von Vance hämisch verhöhnt fühlen:

JD Vance on Europe: "They are doing a lot of things to sabotage themselves. We would like that to stop. We would like them to be an ally in the true sense of the word."

1/ Thoughts: It's good when people who didn't agree with me change their minds. However, exactly how much grace I offer them post-revelation depends on a range of factors. My tent is big and so has room for many people. It's also large enough that I can let someone in but not sit with them.

Henry Mance@henrymance.ft.com

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

Murder rate per 100k inhabitants for US, Russia and Germany. The first two recommend to the Germans to vote for AfD because the criminally rate is increasing. It's self speaking...

A few quick thoughts about this morning's decision. Don't believe the spin from various Russians & others: it's a big deal. The EU has now unambiguously demonstrated that it is able and willing to provide the external financial support Ukraine needs, for as long and as much as it takes. (1/N)

1/ So many thoughts on this, but the tl;dr is that these gatekeeping dweebs can go screw themselves with a +5 Vorpal Longsword. Dungeons and Dragons and tabletop roleplaying games more generally are wonderful, and it's brilliant that more people are getting to experience them.

A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

Der oö. FPÖ-Landesparteisekretär Michael Gruber lässt am Freitag um 23 Uhr (!) jene Presseaussendung verschicken, zu der er gerichtlich verpflichtet wurde: Er muss seine diffamierende Behauptung über das @doew.at widerrufen. Na dann helfen wir ihm doch, seinen Widerruf zu verbreiten!

Das Schwierige ist ja: Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der gleichzeitig so viele schreckliche oder schockierende Dinge sichtbar* werden, dass man schnell überfordert ist Ich glaube, das Wichtigste ist, sich nicht komplett zurückzuziehen, sondern ausgewählten Themen die eigene Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken

(I assume this will lead to some shouting in my general direction but I think you can't both say "we need more people in positions of power to leave Twitter and come to Bluesky" and "it's fine and good when people with power get on here and get yelled at non-stop", you've got to pick one!)
