The epistemic crisis and the rise of the far right: toward a conceptualization of counter-knowledge orders in digital knowledge society - Publizistik

Years of global crises since the turn of the millennium and recently the coronavirus pandemic have made the opening fault lines of rationality in digital knowledge society more visible. This paper dra...

Eine rechte US Regierung kündigt eine „Blitz Operation“ gegen die eigene Bevölkerung an - irre übrigens, das unkritisch als News abzudrucken btw. Und hierzulande überlegt der Feuilleton, ob nicht doch irgendwie der „linke Zeitgeist“ an allem Schuld sein könnte.

Trump-Regierung startet Einsatz gegen Migranten in Chicago

Die US-Regierung kündigt einen "Blitz-Einsatz" gegen illegale Einwanderer in Chicago an - und eskaliert damit den Streit mit den Demokraten.

Dreamt that I taught an elementary school class tonight and now I don’t know what to do with that in my teaching philosophy 🤷🏻‍♂️

At some point, all classes gathered in a big auditorium for lunch and each class sang in a choir.

Guess heavily AI „assisted“ reviewer comments are our brave new age of peer review now lol… we’ll only get overly generic recommendations in lists of three applicable to a wide range of input texts and odd typesetter-level punctuation from now on.
Only consolation: The former we also got without AI.

Defrosted my freezer today and oh my the effort was ridiculous, but oh my the sense of accomplishment is insane. Wish I’d get that kick out of finishing my dissertation lol

You know what’s really relaxing after #ica25? Being able to sit in a café/restaurant as long as you wish, not being rushed out the second you put your fork down 🙌

(I know that’s because US staff can’t make a living without max. fluctuation - makes it all the more annoying/wrong on multiple levels)

Update: It seems safe-ish now (aka air gas-free at the venue), still many major roads around the conference hotels are closed - get home safe ppl 🙌

“How do I stop my students from cheating with AI?” Universal basic income, for starters

Matt Salomone @matthematics.com · Jun 7

One hundred percent. Economic precarity breeds transactional education, which incentivizes grades over learning, which creates demand for cheating, for which AI provides an abundant supply.

Prof Ben Britton @bmatb.expmicromech.com · Jun 7

This is shared in reflection of prior comments on Bluesky that many academics comment that a degree provides a student with the opportunity to "stretch" their learning, and the "struggle" of writing is part of the learning experience - yet if students are grade/degree hungry, is this relevant?

Dass das nicht die Titelseiten der Tagespresse füllt wundert mich leider nicht mehr. Eine Schande ist es trotzdem. Wenn sich nicht bald (lol) entschiedener Widerstand gegen die extreme Rechte aus der breiten Mitte der Öffentlichkeit formiert, sehe ich tiefbraun. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/asyl...

Ich sag’s euch wie‘s ist: Wenn der ÖR #cosmo einstellt, gibt es für Menschen unter 60 einfach einen Grund weniger, ÖR Radio zu hören. Mit ein/zwei Männer-Fußballspielen weniger wäre Cosmo doch ausfinanziert, oder nicht? www.radioszene.de/203320/cosmo...

To be fair, space living is also more likely to be the solution for the super-rich after social peace has finally been shattered by the housing crisis on planet earth 😅

Looking at that by wealth quantiles would be interesting.

Die AFD hasst diese Trick!
Eine Stadtratsmehrheit unter Führung der AFD möchte die städtischen Gelder für das soziokulturelle Zentrum "Telux" in Weißwasser streichen. Nun werden Spenden gesammelt, nicht für das Telux, sondern für die Stadt Weißwasser - und zwar zweckgebunden 😎
Warum das clever ist🧵
