🎉 Some important #CrossBorderRail news! 🎉

This weekend I watched Mike Monteiro's "How to draw an orange" keynote and I think more people should. Because while it has some great "AI" criticism emerging from a deeply humanist and creative perspective I really enjoyed how it talks more about the structures that keep us from becoming […]

Based on lots of feedback (and some pretty niche complaints!) about earlier versions of the #schengen and borders ID diagram, I am now up to version 1.3.0

Ich fand ein Europa ohne Grenzen eine wunderbare Idee. Offensichtlich sehen das ein großer Teil der Deutschen anders. Es macht mich sehr traurig, dass wir diese brillanten Vorschritte dem Rassismus und der Engstirnigkeit opfern.

Palantir Software ist nicht nur ein Problem, weil es so "in die Hände der AfD fallen könnte". Sie ist ein Problem, weil sie demokratische Grundsätze Computationalismus unterordnet. Auch ohne Faschisten im Parlament wäre die Anschaffung unwürdig und zu bekämpfen.

Die Aufnahme dessen, was gestern im Oval Office passierte, geht 49 Minuten & ist im Sinne der Eskalation von Affekten sprechend. Das Hintergrundthema der Pressekonferenz ist ein völlig anderes: Es ist Trumps Entscheidung, seriöse Pressevertreter aus dem Presscorps auszuschliessen, was dominiert. 1/5

Bodo Ramelow übt sehr nachvollziehbare Kritik auch an der Rolle der Medien beim Wahlerfolg der AfD, weil alle über kein anderes Thema als „kriminelle Ausländer“ mehr gesprochen haben. www.deutschlandfunk.de/interview-mi...

Plans to boost capacity at St Pancras are welcome. But the hurdles to run trains from London to 🇩🇪, 🇨🇭 and 🇫🇷 beyond Paris are elsewhere, as I explain in this piece for the iPaper https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/travel/rail-routes-st-pancras-upgrade-open-up-fewer-hurdles-3548255 […]
