In der Logik müsste Weimer gegen eine CDU-Regierungsbeteiligung in Berlin sein, nachdem die ehemalige CDU-Kultursenatorin unter Verdacht steht, Fördergelder für die Antisemitismus-Prävention veruntreut zu haben. Die Audacity von Rechtskonservativen, so unangenehm. www.n-tv.de/der_tag/Bei-...

Important public opinion patterns described here by Steve. The fragmented elite-level consensus on climate change and aggressive anti-net zero campaign on the (far) right is starting to show in UK public polls. Once again evidence that elites matter, leadership is lacking and apathy is a tragedy.

Ich muss es verpast haben, dass führende Politiker:innen von SPD von Grünen die in der CDU weit verbreitete Queerfeindlichkeit angesprochen haben und es als Bedingung formuliert haben sich von dieser Queerfeindlichkeit zu distanzieren, bevor man in eine Koalition gehen kann.

How do we measure environmental concern? In our new paper in Environmental Politics, @phanxi.bsky.social and I suggest a refined scale that: * Captures nuances among highly concerned citizens * Predicts env. behaviour & policy support * Allows for short scales www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Es ist absurd wie AfD Wähler mit Samthandschuhen angefasst werden. Keine Agency, keine Verantwortung dafür eine rechtsextreme Partei zu unterstützen, die Rassismus, Sexismus, Queer- und Demokratiefeindlichkeit propagiert. „Besorgte Bürger“ mit legitimen Sorgen die man ja nicht kritisieren darf.

„While other sectors are decarbonising, aviation and shipping are likely to account for half of Europe’s transport emissions by 2050 if growth continues unabated.“ (and, no, SAF won‘t be the answer)

Emu night (1/2)

Comic page 1: a group of young emo people are hanging out in a venue with a banner that reads EMO NIGHT. Outside the venue, an emu is on the phone. He says, “yeah, could you pick me up? I think I misread the flyer.” Suddenly, behind the emu someone exclaims, “hey!”

Schade habe ich kein «sehr hohes Einkommen». Grafik aus dem sogenannten «Verteilungsbericht 2026» des Gewerkschaftsbundes. www.sgb.ch/fileadmin/re...

Zwei Liniendiagramme vergleichen die Steuerbelastung in Prozent des Einkommens von 2008 bis 2025. Beim mittleren Einkommen von 85’000 Franken bleibt die Belastung relativ stabil und sinkt bis 2025 leicht auf etwas über 13 Prozent. Beim sehr hohen Einkommen von 1 Million Franken fällt sie stärker: von rund 32,7 Prozent im Jahr 2008 auf etwa 31,7 Prozent im Jahr 2025. Die Abbildung betont, dass die Steuerentlastung bei sehr hohen Einkommen deutlich grösser ausfällt als bei mittleren Einkommen.

Declaration.

The outputs from scientific research are many and varied, including: research articles reporting new knowledge, data, reagents, and software; intellectual property; and highly trained young scientists.

Funding agencies, institutions that employ scientists, and scientists themselves, all have a desire, and need, to assess the quality and impact of scientific outputs. It is thus imperative that scientific output is measured accurately and evaluated wisely.
The Journal Impact Factor is frequently used as the primary parameter with which to compare the scientific output of individuals and institutions.
