Kein Land hätte es sich gefallen lassen, dass man auf seinem Boden einen „jüdischen“ Staat errichtet und die ansässige Bevölkerung vertreibt. Und ausgerechnet das Land, das sechs Millionen Juden ermordet hat, am allerwenigsten.

Friction is so important to creative work that people *add* friction to allow themselves to do it. Just one example: meter, in poetry. You create a framework that restricts you, that limits you, in order to give your thoughts a scaffold within which to build.

klimmzug stange überm Bett installieren und dann wie eine Fledermaus kopfüber hängen bis man bewusstlos wird und friedlich schlummernd in die heia stürzt

Bin ein bisschen überrascht vom ganzen Schock und Outrage. Like this is Germany. It always has been. You can fight better when you don’t let it trigger you. The outrage and shock is what they want; to paralyse you. The best thing to do is accept that this is what your country is, get over yourself,

Nobody believes you that you dislike Piker for any reason other than he is correct about Israel, correct about US empire, and correct about the shitty geriatric democrats who do nothing. You are lying.

"People are really mad and however mad you are, it’s not enough. Because there is something so profound about no longer believing in the future, about seeing no value in our shared home, in the natural world. They’re traitors to creation.” www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

bei menschen in schlechter finanzieller lage kommt die AfD auf 65% und wenn wir nicht endlich begreifen, wie der klassenkampf der reichen, vertreten durch CDU und SPD, diese partei befeuert, werden alle brandmauern, verbotsgutachten und gegen-rechts-demos nichts nützen

The better AI gets, the more (and more subtle) AI psychoses we're gonna see, especially among intellectually inclined people. Not because the machines make you insane, but because it's becoming painfully obvious that sanity isn't just an individual-level property, but something social, ...

yeah man "woke 1" sucked ass. I "woke 1" morning from uneasy dreams to find myself transformed into a giant insect

Aug. 6, 1926: Gertrude Ederle swims across the English Channel to become the first woman to accomplish the feat—and, in 14 hours, 34 minutes, faster than any man before her. The smiling 20-year-old “Queen of the Waves” joins Babe Ruth and Red Grange as all-American heroes of a sports-mad age. 1/9

NEW: A glimpse at how AI image generators are used. Researchers set up a fake image editor on Hugging Face and within a week received 1,000 prompts. 73% of them were sexual and 83% of those were asking for people (women) to be “undressed”. Around 6% of the sexual requests also targeted minors

It’s not even code. It’s policy. It’s policy written down in manifestos such as the AfD’s. Manifestos that people can vote for in the next election. Manifestos which almost 1/3 of Germans say they will happily vote for. They really mean all immigrants too. “Ausländer raus!” is what they chant.

tarot is a billion times cooler than astrology to me one is a roguelike poetry/advice session and the other is haha hey what if the circumstances of your birth were insurmountable wouldnt that be cool

Elon Musk says “by the end of the year” like England supporters say “it’s coming home”

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

AI images are easy to spot because they all look like photorealistic Ben Garrison cartoons

You're never gonna get me to care about piracy as an issue when companies like Rockstar are literally selling empty game cases to people.

As a European it is imperative to hate the French, but I will say I hate climate change more

Advertising was originally called “propaganda” before that word took on negative connotations in the English-speaking world during WWI. And it’s the most insidious and ubiquitous form of propaganda there is. I genuinely believe it’s bad for your health. Everyone should limit their exposure.

You can't achieve perfection without destroying yourself in the process. This is why the Soviet Union fell shortly after inventing Tetris

Is there a reason why "organic" compounds aren't called "carbonic", other than linguistic inertia?

a small part of the problem with AI is that even if you see good use cases for the technology, focusing on them is a little like saying radiotherapy is going to be great for treating cancer while stores still have radium toothpaste on the shelves www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

In light of the US government trying to debase their loudest socialist and the precipice it's going to create if they succeed, I really think you all need to familiarize yourself with Hasan Piker right now. Abandon what preconceived notions you have and please watch this youtu.be/WvqeXFnqXCo?...

the only solidarity i feel with Donald Trump is the bone-deep knowledge that, if I were also his father, I'd ignore Don Jr. the same way

Heute ist #Nakba-Tag: Die Nakba ist kein abgeschlossenes Ereignis, sondern ein Prozess, der mal mehr, mal weniger intensiv vorangetrieben wird. Aber seit 1967 nie so intensiv wie jetzt. Dazu medico-Nahostreferent Riad Othman: 1/5
