Walter Lübcke steht für etwas, das größer ist als eine einzelne Person: nämlich für eine menschliche Haltung, die in der CDU inzwischen ins Hintertreffen geraten ist.

Dafür hält ihn das Zentrum für Politische Schönheit in Ehren. Zu Recht.
Die Empörung über die Kunstaktion mit Walter Lübcke ist überzogen
Das Zentrum für Politische Schönheit stellt eine Statue des ermordeten CDU-Politikers Lübcke vor die Parteizentrale in Berlin. Das ist legitim

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

The United States did not start the war in Ukraine. We owe Putin nothing. Giving him concessions now, like recognizing territories he annexed, would make the US look so weak.

Excellent blog post on the infeasibility of putting data centers in space.

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right.

Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

Interessant, wie Merz seine neuerlichen Ressentiments jeweils rahmt, indem er sie jeweils zu legitimieren sucht mit Verweis auf andere Gruppen. Beim „Stadtbild“ waren es die „Töchter“, die man fragen solle, was er meint, bei Belém die Journalisten.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Reminder: current Chief Justice John Roberts was one of the WH lawyers in Bush II writing memoranda that authorized exercise of executive powers in war on terrorism. If any case makes it way to SCOTUS to challenge these claims, the chief justice has already signaled his vote for the WH
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/
