Germany, hotbed of AI accelerationism. We're hoping to leapfrog the digital democracy phase – straight from fax-based government to rule by AGI.

As a library dweller and former resident of the city, I really enjoyed this article on Berlin's libraries by Laney Lenox. I'd definitely recommend anyone with a connection to the city to dig into the @slowberlin.bsky.social literary archives 👌 www.slowtravelberlin.com/berlins-best...

Very disappointing to read a well-established literary scholar’s article about François Bon and see that he paid very little attention to the spelling of women’s names. Published in 2005, Akerman was hardly a niche filmmaker...

Stop de verhoging van de AOW-leeftijd. Na de vakbonden zeggen zelfs werkgeversorganisaties dat de AOW-leeftijd niet verder moet stijgen. Afspraak is afspraak. Hoe betrouwbaar zijn D66, CDA en VVD eigenlijk?

Ok we all need some silliness right now, so I'll tell you that there is a polish rapper called "Taco Hemingway" who produced a song called "I fell in love next to a pharmacy", in which he raps about a specific painkiller - so now his fans are emptying Polish pharmacies because they see it as merch.

Of course, something MIGHT happen, but it is very very unlikely. When I see that tower, I definitely am not shocked. H is not really doing this for the difficulty of the climb but because he's always wanted to climb a building & saw an opportunity to make some money out of it.

A little bit of Breton working-class history, taking you back to 1924! Tonight, my partner is celebrating their birthday and I picked this card from my collection for the occasion. It portrays the failed assassination attempt of the communist mayor of Douarnenez, Daniel le Flanchec.

He was targeted by local factory owners for supporting the Penn Sardin strikes. Lucky you! I also got a postcard with the most important of Penn Sardin Strikers: women! Women demanding better working conditions at fish canning factory, led a successful six-week long strike.

It's a bit of revolutionary Breton history, but it is a pity to see that men's wages were significantly raised more than women's wages, despite it being their strike.

this definitely reflects what I see around me: so many friends on universal credit (including myself), and these are friends with degrees of which no one thought you'd ever be on UC, chemical engineering, structural biology...

Scariest chart I've seen in a long time. If this is real, UK graduate vacancies have fallen 70% relative to 2017 and are as low as at the bottom of the pandemic. Data is from job matching platform Adzuna. www.ft.com/content/c894...
