Trump Lashes Out at ABC Reporter After Disastrous Vance Interview
Donald Trump refused to take a question from an ABC reporter in his meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei.

Der offene Rassismus der Merz-CDU ist nicht nur gefährlich für alle, die er direkt angreift. Er ist auch gefährlich für alle, denen Friedrich Merz Sicherheit verweigert, weil er seinen Innenminister an der Grenze streunen und kläffen lässt, damit der sich nicht um Vergewaltigungen rund um Bierzelte kümmert, damit der sich nicht gegen Häusliche Gewalt einsetzt, damit Femizide unterm Teppich passieren und weil soziale Sicherheit keine Aufmerksamkeit in seinem Kabinett bekommt.

From Grounding to Skolemization: A Logic-Constrained Vector Symbolic Architecture for Complex Query Answering
Complex Query Answering (CQA) over incomplete Knowledge Graphs (KGs), typically formalized as reasoning with Existential First-Order predicate logic with one free variable (EFO$_1$), faces a fundamental trade-off between logical soundness and computational efficiency. This work establishes the Grounding-Skolemization dichotomy for systematically analyzing CQA methods through the lens of formal logic. While Grounding-based methods inherently suffer from combinatorial explosion, most Skolemizatio…

2/2 Reflection on #citizenship:
I do not treat the concept of “#democracy" lightly. I was born into the aftermath of centuries of totalitarian oppression that ended suddenly, leaving the nascent Ukrainian state of the late 90s and early 2000s floundering in the turbulent whirlpool of hopes and fears felt by millions of people who were finally allowed to ponder: how to build a free democratic state in the place of Soviet and imperial ruins?
I was taught the words "democracy", "citizen", "freedom", "voting", “liberty" (and more) by people who, less than two decades prior, weren't allowed to leave the borders of their country. I was told about self-determination by people whose political choices were ridiculed, punished, and eviscerated form most of their lives. The duty of governing ourselves felt to us ephemeral - a nice fantasy, akin to a fairytale or a utopia from fictional works.
And then I saw those same people fight with their bodies and souls once the previously unfathomable democracy was threatened. Protests in 2004, then again in 2014, then the unthinkable war against foreign invasion in 2022. Democracy no longer felt abstract or silly. It became as tangible as saying "I love you".
I write of Ukraine as I reflect on becoming a citizen of another country because the history and values of my adopted United States feel as real as the skin on my legs, the significance of its legacy lays as heavy as the weight of my waist-long hair, and the desire to uphold the freedoms of its Constitution burns my throat as harshly as dehydration after a long day in the sun.
People have asked me why I even want to join this country, when the present moment is shrouded in impenetrable darkness. And I answer: because I've felt the warmth of a newly lit fire of freedom breaking through shadows that for centuries looked like solid walls. I have seen kindness, and solidarity heal the fear and hate of oppression. I've seen liberty emerge from nothing but the human soul.
I am not a religious person, but I have faith. Faith in the ideals at the foundation of the American project. Faint but powerful recognition that "we the people" now includes me.
I love #America. And I hope to keep loving my home for the rest of my life.

We must stay angry and keep calling out these completely lawless killings by Trump. The International waters around Venezuela are a shooting gallery where Trump may kill as he likes.... No ally is protesting...

Continuation Semantics for Fixpoint Modal Logic and Computation Tree Logics
We introduce continuation semantics for both fixpoint modal logic (FML) and Computation Tree Logic* (CTL*), parameterised by a choice of branching type and quantitative predicate lifting. Our main contribution is proving that they are equivalent to coalgebraic semantics, for all branching types. Our continuation semantics is defined over coalgebras of the continuation monad whose answer type coincides with the domain of truth values of the formulas. By identifying predicates and continuations, …

State Algebra for Propositional Logic
This paper presents State Algebra, a novel framework designed to represent and manipulate propositional logic using algebraic methods. The framework is structured as a hierarchy of three representations: Set, Coordinate, and Row Decomposition. These representations anchor the system in well-known semantics while facilitating the computation using a powerful algebraic engine. A key aspect of State Algebra is its flexibility in representation. We show that although the default reduction of a stat…
