Was für ein Verlust für die Kölner Kinoszene. Bernhard Marsch, zentrale Figur des Filmclub 813, ist Sonntagabend bei einem Unfall verstorben.

Bernhard Marsch verstorben - Film und Medien Stiftung NRW
Der Kölner Regisseur, Drehbuchautor, Filmproduzent und Schauspieler Bernhard Marsch ist überraschend bei einem tragischen Unfall im Alter von 63 Jahren verstorben.Der 1962 geborene Filmemacher war eine engagierte Persönlichkeit der Kölner Filmszene. 1990 gehörte Marsch zu den Gründungsmitgliedern des Filmclub 813, dessen langjähriger Vorsitzender er war. Der Filmclub wurde mehrfach mit dem Kinematheksverbundspreis ausgezeichnet und gilt als fester Bestandteil der Kölner Filmkultur.

It seems like, again, just following the plain logic of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence (which, again, I do not subscribe to), that every law passed under Trump, every supreme court justice appointment by Trump, every supreme court ruling by Trump appointed justices, all the illegal firing, etc, must all, necessarily, be null and void.
And if not following from the insurrection act, or from the oath of office, then following from the Declaration of Independence itself. The logic here being that a constitution is a contract between the people and their government, which the later upholds in order to maintain its legal status. The violation of said laws by the government violates "consent of the governed" (which, again, I have issues with the concept entirely but we're just going to ignore that) and therefore nullifies the authority of that government, granting " the right of the people to alter or to abolish it."
That seems a lot like the hard reset some folks have been looking for. Given that existing flaws allowed this state to be reached, it would also be necessary for the true authority to correct those mistakes before assuming authority that derives from these principles.
Now, personally, I don't subscribe to any of this logic but it's interesting to explore, as an outsider, where the logic goes.

How Warm-Glow Alters the Usability of Technology
As technology increasingly aligns with users' personal values, traditional models of usability, focused on functionality and specifically effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction, may not fully capture how people perceive and evaluate it. This study investigates how the warm-glow phenomenon, the positive feeling associated with doing good, shapes perceived usability. An experimental approach was taken in which participants evaluated a hypothetical technology under conditions designed to evok…

Ferroelectric switching of quantum anomalous Hall effects in MnBi2Te4 films
The integration of ferroelectric and topological materials offers a promising avenue for advancing the development of quantum material devices. In this work, we explore the strong coupling between topological states and ferroelectricity in the heterostructure formed by interfacing MnBi2Te4 (MBT) thin films and monolayer In2Te3. Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that the polarization direction in In2Te3 can strongly alter electronic band structures in the MBT/In2Te3 heterostructure, …

Spin-Splitting Magnetoresistance in Altermagnetic RuO2 Thin Films
The recently discovered altermagnets, featured by the exotic correlation of magnetic exchange interaction and alternating crystal environments, have offered exciting cutting-edge opportunities for spintronics. Nevertheless, the altermagnetism of RuO2, one of the earliest-discovered altermagnets, is currently under intense debate. Here we try to resolve this controversy by demonstrating an altermagnetic spin-splitting magnetoresistance (SSMR) effect that is driven by a spin current associated wi…

No to 15 mph e-bike speed limit, yes to real safety! - Transportation Alternatives
A ridiculous 15 mph speed limit for e-bikes won't work. Tell Mayor Adams and City Council: We need effective, data-driven policies that protect everyone, and accountability for the corporations fueling chaos on our streets — not the cyclists surviving it.

I nearly gave my credit card to a legit-looking Maine business, until I noticed their “privacy policy” linked to Wikipedia. That’s not laziness but AI-generated HTML vibecoded into place without review. And a lot more can go wrong than a missing legal page.

Four-fold Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Antiferromagnetic Epitaxial Thin Films of MnPt$_{x}$Pd$_{1-x}$
Antiferromagnets are emerging as promising alternatives to ferromagnets in spintronics applications. A key feature of antiferromagnets is their anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), which has the potential to serve as a sensitive marker for the antiferromagnetic order parameter. However, the underlying origins of this behavior remains poorly understood, particularly, in thin film geometries. In this study, we report the observation of AMR in epitaxial thin films of the collinear L1$_{0}$ antifer…
