"We need to imagine different forms and infrastructure for our knowledge. We can't fix DeepSeek or X - we need to start rebuilding the places and the architecture for preserving and sharing the knowledge commons, so that people reluctant to share can find trust in those spaces again." #openknowledge

#Feminism in #journalism will make many people cringe - I say, get over yourself. View any conflict through #womensrights, and you will see a pattern emerge.

You can read about in my piece on #women, #leadership and #peace in the #Israel-Palestine conflict: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/02/isra...
These Palestinian and Israeli women are showing how to stand up for peace
Women from Israel and Palestine have spent nearly a decade building trust across borders, and a united front for peace and equality.

“Vote in February, so that #Merz doesn’t come.” / “Stem til Februar, så Merz ikke kommer til magten/i bukserne" 🙊

Friederich Merz of centre-right CDU is most likely #Germany's next chancellor. Left-wing protesters in #Riesa, 11.1.2025, clearly disagrees. #GermanElection #Tyskland

Elon Musk and Alice Weidel on X.

They both stressed the importance of #freespeech, noting how the Nazis rose to power by controlling the media. How this differs from the media ownership of Trump and Musk wasn't discussed.

Tl;Dr: At no point was the audience allowed to comment or ask questions.

Media coverage of "extreme weather" in the UK and Germany focused on heavy snow and flight cancellations on Saturday and Sunday. ❄️✈️
