All these polls for close Senate races say the same thing: voters think the Dem would do a better job, but they just wish they were a bit more racist.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

2026 as a whole is now on track to end up roughly tied with 2024 as the warmest year on record in ERA5, at 1.6C above preindustrial. And 2027 waiting in the wings to be quite a bit warmer on the back of a record-setting El Nino event.

I know that we caveat "socially constructed" with "social constructions are still real, it is not shorthand for 'fake'", but also... Race and ethnicity *are* mostly just kind of fake imo? Like I've heard some Singaporeans reify Chineseness a lot in the last few years and it all strikes me as silly

Ich fand den Tagesthemen-Kommentar von Jörg Thadeusz über die Linke schlimm, weil er null Maß hatte. Wer einen dünnen, aber sehr lauten Kommentar spricht, kriegt anschließend trotzdem einen prominenten Diskussionsplatz in der ZEIT. Das nervt mich kolossal an diesem Format www.zeit.de/2026/42/koal...

Die Partei darf in Berlin nicht an die Macht kommen, weil sie jüdisches Leben gefährdet, sagt der Moderator Jörg Thadeusz. SPD-Politikerin Cansel Kiziltepe widerspricht.

The European Union is inhumane in many ways but the Council of Europe banning the death penalty in the 1950s and simply never looking back - and making abolition of the death penalty a prerequisite for membership - is one of the best things about it

Ich würde weiter gehen und sagen: Man kann den Begriff "Terrorist" nicht sinnvoll definieren und sollte ihn nicht nutzen. Das willkürliche am Konzept *ist* das Konzept. Es dient dazu, dass man Menschen nicht als Kombattanten oder Verbrecher, also immer noch als mit Rechten versehen, behandeln muss

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

Imo Republicans understand that Trump is demented and should be removed from office but feel that they cannot admit to this, because it would lead to the obvious question "so why didn't you impeach him sooner?" Incidentally this is also the relation of Germany's media and political elite to Israel

I read a couple hundred death penalty cases for a case once and I think you’d all be shocked at how often this happens. The death penalty is one of the cruelest things in our system, an obvious violation of the 8th amendment cruel and unusual punishment clause, but we just love to kill.

Lesenswert: Der Bruder des getöteten „Kochs von Gaza", Mahmud Almadhoun, über den die Zeit einen langen Podcast produzierte, kritisiert die Art und Weise, wie dessen Tod zu einem Rätsel gemacht wurde.

German media—most recently DIE ZEIT with their five-part podcast series The Gaza Chef—keeps producing podcasts and articles about my brother Mahmoud, treating his death like a mystery to be solved. They bring on experts to discuss AI algorithms, "target rooms," and pattern-recognition errors. They ask whether a machine made an operational mistake because our kitchen was "near" a hospital Israel had designated a target.

They wonder out loud if a baker moving through his own neighborhood looks, to a computer program, like a fighter. They call it "the banality of AI in warfare." I call it a targeted assassination.

When this project started, participating seemed like a good idea on the surface. It felt like a chance to honor Mahmoud's legacy and make sure people knew who he was and what he built. When we spoke to the reporter, we genuinely felt they would be fair. I still appreciate the time and care they put into investigating his life, and we got along well—I'm not attacking the person who worked on the story. But seeing how it all took shape, the final picture just feels incomplete.

When I look at the media coverage, even the basic geography gets twisted. Our kitchen wasn't near that hospital. It was over half a mile away. You do not make a half-mile error with high-precision surveillance and guided munitions. That is not how any of this technology works, and everyone writing these pieces knows it.

When I go back to what actually happened, the reality is plain: Mahmoud was killed because he was feeding starving people in northern Gaza. He was killed because someone decided that keeping thousands of displaced families alive was something that needed to be stopped.

There is a fundamental bias running through all of this coverage, German media most of all. Israel's military is treated as a system where violence only ever happens by accident—a glitch, an operational error, never a conscious choice. Israeli sources get believed automatically. Palestinians get treated as suspects who have to prove their own innocence, even after they've been murdered. Germany, burdened by its own unresolved history and national guilt over World War II, continues to let Palestinians pay the price for German sins—rationalizing Israeli crimes under the guise of journalistic objectivity and "institutional morality."

If you want to talk about AI, stop asking whether the system made a mistake. Ask how completely you have to dehumanize a population before you hand an algorithm the power to decide who lives and who dies.

My brother was not a glitch in a target room. He was a chef. He was a lifeline for people who had nothing left. He was murdered by a decision made with full intent, and I am done letting anyone dress that decision up as a software bug.
