Trump will Wissenschaft durch AI erzeugen lassen. Das klingt bedrohlich. Ist das der historische Wendepunkt, an dem die USA wissenschaftliche Qualität aus der Hand geben? Es liest sich nach der Cartoon-Variante von Wissenschaft, so stellen sich naive IT-Bros Forschung vor. (Thread)

It's so interesting to me how consistently students describe Pharisees with the word "strict", even when a gospel story is simply a matter of "how" to observe a given commandment. The idea of legalism is ingrained early.
Then you introduce them to the Talmud...surprise! flexibility!

Die #COP30 endet mit einem schwachen Kompromiss
Am Ende bleibt ein kleiner Schritt in die richtige Richtung, aber keiner, der der Realität gerecht wird. Solange der Ausstieg aus Kohle, Öl und Gas nicht klar festgeschrieben ist, bleiben wir hinter dem zurück, was Wissenschaft und Menschen verlangen.

Somehow, I do miss the SBL meeting #aarsbl25, but I am making the most of this year by combining my protest against the Trump administration with my resolution to protect the climate and not fly. I wish everyone in Boston every success, enjoyable conversations, and wonderful experiences.
