What annoys me most about the current gen AI hype is how clearly it demonstrates every single day that people will sacrifice ethics, accuracy, privacy, energy balance, and the sanctity of artistic achievement to gain just the tiniest bit of convenience.

The line is crossed when Trump has committed suicide in his bunker after the civil war he started failed and pictures of all the camps for immigrants, POC and political opponents have been published in the NYT and indictments are being drafted. Until then nothing is too much for these guys.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

Universities like UT Austin have shown that they will place ideology and political power ahead of the most vulnerable students, faculty, and staff they serve.

Fight against the closure of Black, Latino, and Gender Studies at UT Austin. Support our students.

Eine Professorin, die unseren offenen Brief an die Bildungsministerkonferenz unterzeichnet hat, schrieb uns dazu:

"Die Situation der PDs ist in der Tat extrem prekär. Da werden Prinzipien angewandt, die in eine Zeit zurückreichen, in der modernes Arbeitsrecht noch nicht in Ansätzen existierte."

Absolutely crucial point here by Greg Sargent. When we don’t call propaganda what it is, we co-produce it, and hasten disaster.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Solche Fälle sind keine Einzelfälle. Entfristung mit ü50 ist *keine* Seltenheit – Schluss damit! Dafür kämpft auch das Netzwerk #PDprekär!

Helft uns dabei, die Bildungsministerkonferenz auf das desaströse Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Kettenbefristung hinzuweisen. Macht mit uns Druck! #IchBinHanna

Kommentar von Ludger unter unserem Offenen Brief:

Mit 56 Jahren habe ich seit diesem Semester meinen ersten unbefristeten Arbeitsvertrag. 14 Jahre nach meiner Habilitation. In einem Alter, in dem andere an die Frühverrentung denken. Und ich bin kein Einzelfall. Da muss sich was ändern!

Vor 3 Jahren habe ich einen kleinen Bleiwurz gekauft (hatte die Jahre zuvor schon mehrfach 1 gekauft, eingepflanzt,aber dann nicht durch den Winter bekommen).Die kleine Pflanze habe ich die letzten 2 Jahre reingenommen (Bild 2) und im Frühjahr wieder rausgestellt. So sieht er jetzt aus (Bild 3&4) 🤩
