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.

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

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

Wann ist ein Medienangebot als journalistisch einzustufen? In unserem Sammelband "Alles Journalismus, oder was?" haben wir anhand der Beiträge unserer AutorInnen und bisheriger Kriterienkataloge eine praxisbezogene "Checkliste" entwickelt, die Politik und Werbewirtschaft eine Orientierung bietet.
Checkliste zur Bewertung eines Medienprojekts als "journalistisch" anhand drei Kategorien: - WER? Beruflicher Hintergrund und Professionalisierungsgrad der Redaktion (Akteursbezogen) - WIE? Organisation und Finanzierung (Organisationsbezogen) - WAS? Medial vermittelte Inhalte (Inhaltsbezogen) Je mehr der darin erfüllten Kriterien erfüllt sind, desto eher ist von einem journalistischen Angebot auszugehen.

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!

Heronkind. Nature's Sculptures.

We went to a sculpture garden today. I forgot to take any photos of sculptures, but I did take a few hundred photos of beautiful herons, so there's that.

Tricolored Heron, Yellow-crowned Night Heron, Great Blue Heron, and Tricolored Heron again
Close-up of the back and head of a Tricolored Heron. These are really lovely dark blue-purple birds with yellow on the face and the bottom of their otherwise black beak. Note the plumes on their back and how they shimmer purple. Close-up of a Yellow-crowned Night Heron face. The bird's neck and body are gray. The head is black, with a white patch on the cheek, light yellow on the top of the head and on plumes that shoot backward from the back of the head. The eye is blood red, and the beak is black, thick, and stout for a heron. Great Blue Heron, a big gray heron on the edge of the pond, looking rumpled with feathers in all directions. Tricolored Heron fishing in the saltmarsh. It is poised over some fallen plants, looking for fishes. The bird has yellow-green legs, yellow near the eyes, and a body that is gray-blue and chestnut brown.

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.
