Democracy doesn’t die in darkness; it dies in plain sight, with everyone watching—and some even cheering. For many, democracy has become a floating signifier, losing its importance and meaning. #USElection2024
Hi everyone—I'm a #DemocracyResearcher, & I'm deeply concerned about where we're headed. The challenges to democracy we’re facing right now aren’t just sobering; they're alarming. This affects all of us— not least in Europe —now’s the time to stay vigilant & engaged.

Der Chef der Konservativen im EU-Parlament, Manfred Weber, hat erneut seine Fraktion dazu gebracht, zusammen mit den Rechtsextremen ein Gesetz abzuschwächen. Anders hätte er keine Mehrheit erhalten.
Mit dem bestehenden Gesetz sollten eigentlich Wälder weitwelt geschützt werden.
Unglaublich!

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool.
It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Die EU hat den Digital Services Act beschlossen, um Social Media-Konzerne besser zu regulieren.
Praktisch alle haben ihre EU-Zentrale - aus Steuergründen - in Irland.
Aber das irische Justizministerium verweigert regelmäßig die Arbeit.
Und die EU-Kommission schaut dabei zu.
