Die Empörung ist wichtig, aber ganz ehrlich, das ist erst der Anfang und viele die jetzt auf das ZDF einschlagen werden sich noch umschauen. Attribution wird eines der größten Probleme des Journalismus werden @niggi.bsky.social

Falsche Videos im ZDF-"Heute Journal": So zerstört man Vertrauen
Wie das ZDF mit gleich zwei falschen Videos im „Heute Journal“ umgeht, ist schwer begreiflich. Die Aufarbeitung gehört auch in die Öffentlichkeit.

Sure feels like the 'AOC is a foreign policy lightweight' would be a more interesting argument if every president since George H.W. Bush hadn't also been a foreign policy lightweight when not actively a Dunning-Kruger disaster.
Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.

It’s time for progressives to get more sophisticated about national security and foreign policy.

One of Jesse Jackson’s lines that hits hardest: “Most poor people are not on welfare. They do the heavy lifting. They take the early bus. They work the late shift. They work every day that they can and still cannot lift their children from poverty, still cannot afford health care.”

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

"Look at this dumb bitch, taking 20 seconds to give a live answer to one of the most complex geopolitical questions of the 21st century," I smugly write as I fuck up basic titles in an article I wrote in unhurried tranquility with the benefit of internet access, a fact checker, and an editor.

[Cognitive capacity nobody understands] is very important.

However,

the underlying neural mechanisms remain enigmatic.

Here we show that

[stimuli somehow related to the capacity]

can be decoded from

[spatiotemporal description].

Our results show that we can do what we did.

Es schaudert, wie sich in Deutschland der illiberale rechte Autoritarismus seinen Weg in die Politik bahnt, rechtsaussen durch Putinismus und nun im Lager der konservativen Mitte durch Trumpismus. Wehe wenn sich dieses ideologische Gemisch in einer demagogischen Figur vereint!
Tatsächlich deutliche Worte von Stephan #Detjen:

“Also am Ende ist das Publikum geschlossen aufgestanden und hat dieser, man muss sagen ethno-nationalistischen, kulturkämpferischen Rede, stehende Ovationen gespendet. Einschließlich Wadephul und Pistorius, stehend applaudierend in der ersten Reihe.”
„In der Substanz ist das das Gleiche wie bei Vance“ – dafür gab es „stehende Ovationen“. Stephan Detjen ist die Irritation deutlich anzuhören. Selten gab es eine so klare Einschätzung zu dem Sachverhalt wie heute im DLF.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

Really surprised how an entirely predictable question could sink the entire Berlinale jury.
"We have to stay out of politics" (Wim Wenders) could have been said in any authoritarian regime, where artists often are political. Here it was disgraceful.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

These accounts are indistinguishable from what happened in early concentration camps of other regimes, where many people died of malnutrition or diseases. This is the time to stop these. Right now. Because we know what is next.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
