The fact that Germany is so confident in their anti-voter fraud is wild, even though the only information one needs is a copy of someone’s id and a ‘signature’ mail in voting can be cast.
Don’t let Germany become corrupted like the US, voter fraud is still a real threat digitally and physically

Is literature a 'self-contained system of value', or does external recognition shape its legitimacy? This post explores Bourdieu’s theory of cultural fields, and its relevance to contemporary thought.

We as humans are limited by our own cognition of The Translingual Field. our ability to measure, define, and communicate a field is restricted by the structure(s) that form it.

Here are the alternative scripts and regional uses of my conlang, now named ‘nyapudyade’ or ‘nyapu’ for short. Light Green is the Universal Root version, Purple is the modernised version, dark green is royal script, red is military, and blue is specifically math related.

I don’t know if anyone cares, but I finished my conlang‘s alphabet and main grammar.
I just need to study the root words a few more times, and then I can tackle compound words using two character combinations. As of now there are 170 characters.

The nuances of the "Paradox of Intolerance" is actually really challenging to sift through, right now I am reading Karl Popper, Chantal Mouffe, and a few others to better understand how to deal with media-described 'radical' movements, but it ain't easy being cheesey.

Does anyone else utilise LLMs for data gathering and inspiration for historical, cultural, and even fantastcial figures for your own creative works?
I have been comparing and contrasting various characters for the last hour, and it has been a blast.

Facebook was recently discovered to have accounts automatically like and follow certain accounts, and I am pretty sure the same method was used to ‘influence’ some local election results, but I am looking into the legality of discussing such methods publicly…

Why on earth is there not a „Night on Bald Mountain“ ride at Disney Land, could you imagine the fanstasia soundtrack going nuts as the devil himself traumatizes children going into 2025.

Why is that when I don’t want to do something, two hours feels like an eternity.
But the moment I want to do something, two hours seems much too short?

What a wild article a lot of my students asked to discuss today.
TLDR; “do a job interview you don’t want in hopes of another job role opening up”
Honestly sounds like bad advice for most people.

Is completely abandoning twitter counter-productive to fighting misinformation?
If we just leave the table, who’s left with the microphone?
Maybe we should utilise bluesky as an unbiased platform, while continuing to challenge harmful discussions on other platforms?
