"Wirtschaftsprognose jetzt etwas besser als frühere Wirtschaftsprognose". Ok. Hätte ich auch noch bis zum Abend ausgehalten davon zu hören.

you think it's a coincidence that the most evil and corrupt people alive want you to believe that trans people are the real problem?

Obviously we must trust the people who can see billions of years into the future but who can't conceive of a time before the 1980s.

I'm as happy as anyone to see Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor fight dinosaurs but man, that is bleak.

Minor spoiler: The movie opens with a block party that brings the whole neighborhood together, but when something happens that affects literally the whole neighborhood, no one ever seems to attempt to check on each other or help each other out.

The End of Oak Street is great fun. It can't quite decide, though, if it wants to be a critique of Reagan-era suburbia and the individualism of the nuclear family (in which case the point gets lost among all the dinosaurs) or an—at least implicit—endorsement of the worldview of right-wing preppers.

Certainly looks like the shallow pop history interpretation of what happened in the 60s was extremely influential in a very unexpected way.

25 years on, I remember how I thought that the U.S. president at the time was a bumbling fool who was in way over his head, and hopefully people would come to see that no one as incompetent should ever hold that office again.

Happy 60th, Star Trek! You've always been there when things have felt overwhelming, and that's no mean feat.

The future of education is apparently "what if you combined the maleficent rigor of Victorian boys schools with the handwavy pseudo-science of 1950s psychology experiments?"

Fun fact this was changed from the Springsteen version's "got goose like a douche" because Mann rightly thought people wouldn't understand the obscure reference.

This is one of the objections I have when people talk about how useful LLMs can be for literature searches or for any kind of search, really. Even beyond the biases that inevitably (and, in some cases, intentionally) show up, part of a good literature search is seeing information *in context.*

Das 👇 ist ein Versagen von Wissenschaft. Der Kollege ignoriert die verfassungsrechtliche Einordnung dieser Fragen durch das Bundesverfassungsgericht mit Blick auf den Kern der freiheitlich-demokratischen Grundordnung, und das als Politikwissenschaftler an einer Universität.
