Lehne ich mich zu weit aus dem Fenster wenn ich sage dass der Kampf gegen Demokratieprojekte und Zivilgesellschaft auch in Rache konservativer Akteur:innen ("Die haben mich, meine Machenschaften und Vorherrschaft kritisiert") und dem Wunsch, diese Kritik in Zukunft zu unterbinden, verortet ist?
Demokratie ist kein Lichtschalter, den man an und ausmachen kann. Über 140 Träger der Demokratiearbeit wenden sich mit deutlicher Kritik an Karin Prien: Die geplanten Umstrukturierungen von Demokratie leben! kommen faktisch Kürzungen gleich. Die Entscheidungen fallen, bevor Evaluationen vorliegen.

Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.
Embarassing.
A disgraceful reality of our era is the lack of anger and condemnation towards Moscow for the enormous massacres of Ukrainian civilians it perpetrated especially in Mariupol. Nobody knows the death toll, but it is clearly in the tens of thousands. And the criminal state is destroying the evidence.
Persönlich halte ich das #Kukoon ja für einen der allerbesten Läden in #Bremen überhaupt, aber was weiß ich schon ... 🤷
Another data point for the "everybody is 12 now" theory. That's the billionaire CEO of the world's biggest and nastiest surveillance company who also just released a high concept technofascist statement. He and I are the same age. And I am, I cannot be clearer, an Old Man.

The problem is that the people at the top of this ecosystem are GIANT ASSHOLES, it would be good to see you recognize this
Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse
Friedrich #Merz, Temukanzler, unbeliebtester Regierungschef der Welt, wollte sich heimlich sein Jahresgehalt um 60000€ erhöhen. Als es rauskam, war alles plötzlich gar nicht mehr so gemeint gewesen.(!) web.de/magazine/pol...
Das muss man sich echt mal auf der Zunge zergehen lassen. Der Innenminister will seinem Chef heimlich das Gehalt um 60000€ und sein eigenes um 50000 erhöhen und als es auffliegt, tut er so, als sei es ein Versehen gewesen. Warum lassen wir uns das alles gefallen?

I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

„ #Merz leck Eier“ - die Staatsanwaltschaft #Gießen ermittelt noch wegen der Aussage auf einem Demo-Plakat. Für @ronensteinke.bsky.social ist die Aussage nicht strafbar, sondern „ganz klar von der #Meinungsfreiheit gedeckt“.
Inzwischen gehören auch „Merz leck Eier“-Sticker zum Stadtbild. #Streisand

Karikatur "Behinderten- und Jugendhilfe" aus dem Jahr 2026. Friedrich Merz trägt ein Rollstuhlreifen unter dem Arm und entfernt sich. In der Bildmitte steht ein zur Seite geneigter Rollstuhl mit nur einem Reifen. Die Person, die in dem Rollstuhl sitzt, stützt sich mit ihrer linken Hand am Boden ab und blickt fragend in unsere Richtung.

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.
4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commi
8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.
12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.l. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese
Ein Softwareunternehmen ruft öffentlich zur Errichtung einer neuen Weltordnung auf, garniert mit Positionen, die man nur rechtsextrem nennen kann.
Diese Software hat in deutschen Behörden NICHTS verloren.
Dieser Konzern gibt sich wirklich alle Mühe vor sich selbst zu warnen.
#Palantir ruft in einem "Manifest" zur Errichtung einer neuen Weltordnung auf, behauptet manche Kulturen wären weniger wert und dass die "Kastration" Deutschlands und Japans nach dem 2. Weltkrieg überwunden werden müsse.
Mehr Milei wagen? Die Bilanz ist verheerend
Tja. Wie überraschend🙄
Der deutsche Innenminister, also der oberster Chef der Exekutive (Ihr erinnert euch dunkel? Demokratie, Gewaltenteilung, Rechtsstaat und so?) ignoriert seit seinem Amtsantritt die Judikative ohne jede legislative Konsequenz.
