Gibt Leute die glauben lieber an 🛸 als an russische Drohnen.

Anstatt das vernünftig zu sehen und an beides zu glauben.

I propose thinking of online media as products. Products marketed to children under the age of consent undergo quality scrutiny - like our food or clothes. If it’s bad quality - aka designed to be addictive - it’s not pg18. I don’t care about some book or author. This argument is sound to me.

“The internet is today’s public square.” A common argument but Id like to post a friendly challenge for it. 99% of the internet users engage with most of the time is privately owned & driven by commercial interests. Users aren’t valued customers but data assets exploited & sold to other corporations

Kafka meets Orwell in the 21st century.

Yes sure. But for all the hating we forget to vehemently love democracy. Passionately love human rights. Violently love freedom.

And yet I’d never propose restricting their artistic expression or anything. You can find it distasteful and offensive and let it exist. That’s how we’re different from fascists.

Just call it something else not Anne Frank. Then it could be a good musical. But using her for marketing purposes? That’s outrageously greedy.

Though I respect her- I think Greta has more attention than impact. She’s very good at raising awareness but stops short of research (scientists/journalists) or org building. I’d rather want one of those journalist that actually went to Gaza/Ukraine and reported from the frontlines get recognised.

I think it was founded in 1920/30s Germany. So what they caught must have been a ghost. Which makes a lot of sense in many ways.

While we’re at it- bring back the extensive education in manners, music, poetry, dancing and dead languages too

I was literally thinking the other day - how come Gaga & co haven’t crafted a good protest anthem yet… history needs a soundtrack.

Meanwhile “men back then” minding their business
George IV (1762-1830), when Prince of Wales - in a decidedly flamboyant dress and cocky posture - having nothing in common with today’s conception of manliness.

He’ll probably get fired soon so someone should start a go fund me for him.

Knowing the AI policies of other countries, this is not “all in” - this is a cautious step in the right direction, which, if implemented successfully, may still leave us behind actual high tech nations.

The US isn’t at war in Europe. It’s messing with a war in Europe trying to get the most out of it. Huge difference my friend.

In Merkels first term I was too young & just excited to have a female chancellor. Never been a fan after that. She worked like a sleep pill - people paid less attention to politics.

We’re still waking up. We’ve gotten out of bed alright but now in the bathroom shocked at what we see in the mirror.

I don’t have any questions whose side I’m on. I think most people don’t. Let’s not pretend whose side to be on is a difficult philosophical conundrum. Good and evil are clearly outlined in this case.

Palantir and “worried about reputational damage” is not something that goes together.

More likely: they got wind their supreme leader King Trump will take a turn against Starmer soon so they exit Labour affiliated projects ahead of time.

Love it. The imagery is really powerful cause it both shows the ridicule of the officers and that you don’t have to be a superhero to stand up to injustice.
