In den USA politisch sozialisiert, geprägt von Vietnamkrieg-Protesten, Bürgerrechtsbewegung und zivilen …

After months of resistance, the Democratic National Committee finally relented this May and published a draft of its "autopsy" of what had gone wrong in the 2024 election,
saying it was releasing the unfinished document “in its entirety” in the interest of transparency.
But, according to Paul Rivera, the man who wrote the autopsy, the draft omitted a chapter titled
“What Happened in 2024,”
which he said he had printed out and placed in a three-ring binder th…

When this year began, the Democrats were heavy underdogs to take back the Senate in the midterms.
The task would require not only toppling Susan Collins in Maine but also winning at least five states that voted for Donald Trump in 2024,
while holding on to all of the party’s existing seats.
The realistic best-case scenario seemed to be a replay of the so-called blue-wave 2018 election, during Trump’s first term,
in which Democrats took back the House but the Senate re…

I'm not even the first person to say things along this line either:
"Another motivation for reducing the steel intensity of modern society is to limit the consequences of geopolitical conflicts. The more steel we produce for peaceful purposes, the more steel becomes available for war and destruction. Remarkably, the production of military equipment is absent from modern steel statistics, and if mentioned, its share is very low. However, in times of war, steelmaking facilities switch to producing steel for military purposes. The steel industry can thus be converted into a weapons industry at any moment, and there is now a lot more steel production capacity available than there has ever been in history."

Oh, and that article also shows the math that proves that there is no way to move to EVs without absolutely blowing through the carbon budget. You have to switch to bikes and trains. There's literally no other way to keep an even close to habitable planet.

In 2024, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping "pay-to-play" investigation examining interactions between Sen. Susan Collins and a top donor, records and emails show.

Confession: The donor, an ex-defense contractor, told agents his company won millions in federal contracts by bankrolling campaigns of powerful politicians.

ChatGPT is bullshit - Ethics and Information Technology
Recently, there has been considerable interest in large language models: machine learning systems which produce human-like text and dialogue. Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005): the models are in an important way…
