The term "land-based flight" is something a drunk ostrich would fight you for.

I’d have thought that boarding a ship _was_ an “incident”?

Berliner Fördermittelskandal: Wer recht hatte, muss als Erster gehen Der Staatssekretär Oliver Friederici hat Rückgrat gezeigt. Er muss nun die Kulturverwaltung verlassen, weil sich die Senatorin über seine Warnungen hinweggesetzt hat. Ein Kommentar.

Ulrich Seidler: „Dass mit Friederici ausgerechnet der Mann im Konflikt zwischen Hausleitung und Verwaltung geopfert wird, der sich kraft seines Amtes für die Einhaltung dieser Regeln starkgemacht hatte, ist zynisch und wird diesen Konflikt nicht auflösen.“ www.berliner-zeitung.de/article/kons...

Un homme tire à la carabine sur des enfants (!) en tenant des propos haineux.

Mais seule la presse locale en parle.

Rien sur CNews & consorts. Aucune réaction politique tonitruante.

Il faut croire qu'une personne raciste âgée de 65 ans, cela ne colle pas au narratif habituel.

il parle de lui et des milliardaires de son genre non?

Evening reading... 😇

I would die. Also lol.

The Prussian Mine and Foundry Company (today known as the package holiday provider TUI) triumphs again.

Good Morning Resistors!

Palantir posted a manifesto that reads like the ramblings of a comic book villain Palantir shared 22 points excerpted from CEO Alex Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska's 2025 book, The Technological Republic, and they're troubling.

so I just read the whole thing and it as clear a distillation of fascism as you can get

You know what else goes faster than humans? Cars.

Quatre robots humanoïdes tapent au clavie de leurs ordinateurs.

Phrase abominable entendue sur une pub pour l'IA sur YouTube: "Maintenant, avec Chat GPT, tout est pensé pour nous". Je pense que son auteur ne s'est même pas rendu compte de ce qu'il écrivait.

Promenading with very dear chum below the avenues of cherry blossom 🌸 in a busy Meadows, on a gorgeous day.

Simple delights; silken blossoms, happy people using the Meadows, a chum on your armas you walk. Perfect.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

If universities think AI can and should replace faculty and the basic skills students used to be taught, then why not replace all varsity athletes with robots?

Who needs humans to play varsity football when robots can do it for us?

Palantir is its own agnotology machine. Do not engage with their discourse, which throws spaghetti at the wall of media: every strand introduces a new kind of doubt. You try to consume & debate it but in the end all you are is tangled in spaghetti and covered with marinara.

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.

Palantir likes Schuldkult-diskurs

🔋 500 GW Batteriespeicher stehen bereit – und könnten Strompreise senken, Netze stabilisieren und fossile Gaskraftwerke verdrängen.

Doch sie werden ausgebremst und nicht ins System gelassen.

Wir brauchen Speicher jetzt – nicht mehr fossile Blockaden.

Every time mainstream news outlets quote the sitting president of the United States, they are introducing misinformation into Americans' news ecosystem.

It's really as simple as that.

Ah, interesting to hear... might be the same famous blog 😎

“Mr. Mamdani, 34, grew up a child of the Manhattan elite, his mother an Oscar-nominated movie director, his father a tenured Columbia professor. But his tax returns show no signs of his parents' success filtering down to his bank account just yet.

Apart from having a warped sense of what culture workers & professors make, WTF does the NYTimes mean by this “just yet” in the reporting on Mamdani’s taxes? “don’t worry we’re still digging because those brown ppl are up to something? We’ll get back to you when they die?

It's the blog post version - so I'm not really thinking along the lines of plagiarism... it's more the denial of credits dimension that bothers me. I see the transmission value, but would do this differently myself...

Oh, I should have meen more precise: It's a piece of "popularization", so no real scientific claim. Still it feels weird not to be mentioned in the text, like "let me tell you about this interesting article", but only as biblio reference... Wouldn't proceed like this myself, I have to say...

Hm, just had a strange experience: Saw an English article online that basically recounts the content of a French article I published years ago... My text is mentioned under "further reading"... Wonder what other medievalists think about that?!
