Wenn ich eine Sache ays deutschen Lehrplänen streichen könnte, wäre es Gedichtanalyse
Gedichte versteht man nicht mit der Schablone und einer Metaphern-Lookup-Tabelle
Lest Gedichte mit den Kindern, aber hört auf mit der Analyse dahinter, gerade bei Lehrern, die selbst keine Gedichte verstehen

The only reason Germany is not the worst team on the field is that the referees are also technically a team #ESPGER

Für diejenigen hier bei bluesky, die meine Darstellung in Zweifel gezogen haben. Vielleicht vertrauen sie ja dem Reporter der Tagesschau.

Was einer der renommiertesten und bekanntesten deutschen Journalisten, @ronzheimer.bsky.social, heute auf X schreibt: Schockierend. Die Pressefreiheit ist in Deutschland von allen Seiten zunehmend gefährdet.

Watching the news: many Airbus A320 need to stay grounded to install an important software update since it was recently found that intense light can damage data collection vital for steering

Me who just last night flew in on an Airbus A320:

I had no friggin' idea Gaius Valerius Catullus had this much poetic G A M E

This is like Bukowski meets Ginsberg in 60 BC

This guy was casually 2000 years ahead of his time

I wished that when airport announcements call out missing passengers for their flights and say "This is the last call for you" they actually meant it
You don't need to make 15 final calls

So first I wanted to study creative writing to become an author but I didn't get in so I studied German Studies & Philosophy as next best thing then switched to Philosophy & Economics to get practical skills then switched to Econ to better get the real world then fell in love with stats & coding

I recognize that this is mainly absolute nonesense but one underappreciated effect of AI's generative capabilities like AI song covers is that it gives us a better feeling for which songs might be better than we give them credit for

What's really strange is not the ad itself. It's that someone thought "Let's advertise someone who is fully isolated and talks to a machine because there is no human being around, that's going to make people want to be like him" and actually got this through internal processes.

@ckhead.bsky.social & @thierry-mayer.bsky.social‬ argue that the recent estimate of an equivalent 45% tariff in intra-EU costs is likely too high & vastly overstates the barriers which could be lowered due to Commission policy decisions.

#EconSky
Graph of the evolution of EU15 integration in four datasets. All 4 datasets agree that the impact of borders has gone down over time. A recent paper which has gathered significant attention estimates a 45% tariff equivalent of intra-EU border costs. This column argues that this estimate is likely too high and depends on the particular dataset used and specific estimation choices. Therefore, it also vastly overstates the barriers that are akin to tariffs and could be lowered as a result of European Commission policy decisions. Instead, it argues that there are more urgent reforms with larger potential benefits, such as boosting EU innovation capacity and R&D spending.
