"Der Soziologe Maurice Crul und die Sozialwissenschaftlerin Frans Lelie sind bei ihrer Studie [...] darauf gestoßen, dass eine nicht unerhebliche Gruppe in der alten Mehrheitsgesellschaft in der Praxis positive Erfahrungen mit ihrer migrantischen Nachbarschaft macht, aber dennoch Vielfalt theoretisch negativ sieht. Das gleiche gilt auch andersrum. Menschen, die Vielfalt positiv sehen, lassen sich oft durch praktische negative Erfahrungen nicht beeinflussen." (1/4)

Begegnungsorte in Deutschland: Einer für alle
Wir müssen mehr miteinander reden, heißt es. Aber wo? Eine Spurensuche vom Volkshochschulkurs bis zur Eckkneipe.

Both scenarios can be and likely are true: this tech can turn out to be genuinely valuable for some purposes when the dust settles •and• be wildly overvalued now. (My guess is that the overvaluation as measured by investment money is currently around 2-3 orders of magnitude. Whatever. Nobody actually knows, certainly not me.)

So many people are affected, but there is no vaccine against the insidious Epstein virus.

Speaking as a retired chemist, this is absolutely essential to help maintain California's strength in science and engineering.
On the other hand , the most valuable parts of my education (as opposed to training) came from the humanities. Yet we don't seem to recognize how important and central that non-STEM segment is. Why not?

The proposed ballot measure would fund research grants as federal grant freezes threaten California labs and universities.

The Harvest: Canada’s MAID Program, Eugenics, and the Commodification of Despair
When a state administers death as a healthcare service and then discovers the dead have commercially valuable parts, the question is no longer about dignity. It is about inventory. Something has gone structurally wrong in Canada, and the evidence is no longer ambiguous. In 2024, 16,499 Canadians died through the country's Medical Assistance in Dying program, accounting for 5.1 percent of…

"A porous liquid is a liquid solvent combined with a porous solid material — a combination that essentially creates a liquid full of tiny cavities. Those cavities create empty space inside the liquid, allowing it to absorb and store gas molecules."

Pore choices: A new twist on gas capture
Food scraps, manure and sewage are natural byproducts of the U.S. agricultural industry. They are also rich in biogas, a mixture that contains methane and other valuable chemicals. A team of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are developing chemistry that could help capture methane from biogas and separate it from other gases so it can be put to good use.

Rechts versus links lijkt me steeds minder relevant in de politieke arena. Het is meer 'ikke-en-de-rest-kan-stikken' versus 'gemeenschapszin-en-solidariteit'.

The standing ovation that European politicians gave Marco Rubio in Munich serves to diminish his influence in the US administration, according to Anthony Scaramucci. Trump does not like anyone in the administration but himself to get a standing ovation, and the fact that Rubio has had one will definitely be held against him.
