Picture of the day: Schattenburg Castle in spring. The Schattenburg in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, is the city’s landmark and was the ancestral seat of the Feldkirch line of the Counts of Montfort until the death of the last count in 1390. #schattenburg #feldkirch #castle #vorarlberg

In the past, the US had Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, David Berkowitz, the Zodiac Killer, the BTK Killer and the DC Sniper. Today, they have ICE.

Picture of the day: An old stone tablet in Götzis (Austria). Inscription: A warning to us all: thoughtlessness and greed, apathetic citizens, businesspeople who destroy the environment, and ignorant politicians are causing the downfall of human civilisation. We must prevent this. Let’s change!

The more ­intellectual and creative tasks we ­delegate to computers and AI, the more stupid we become. That is a fact.

If you have a Spotify subscription, you’re not paying the artists; you’re paying Spotify and the music industry. #music #FairPayForMusic #PayMusicians #SupportMusicians

Wir zwingen ­Mädchen kein Kopftuch zu ­tragen, weil wir nicht wollen, dass sie gezwungen werden eines zu tragen. Wir wollen also die Freiheit der Mädchen selbst zu entscheiden wahren, indem wir ihnen die Freiheit selbst zu entscheiden nehmen. #austria #kopftuchverbot

The events at Cornell ­University tell you everything about patriarchal societies.

Listening to Spotify and truly valuing the artists who make the music don't mix.

I consider the entire species insane, but the male half’s spiral of escalation is definitely a sickness in a class of its own.

Societies must make it clear to potential rapists that they will ruin not only their victims’ lives, but their own as well.

Many things make me angry. Rape fills me with burning hate.

A world in which people are arrested for peacefully demonstrating for human rights, and men are allowed to rape women without facing ­prosecution and can even go on to hold the highest offices, is a dystopia.

Part of me says that these men should be castrated. Were it not for the other part of me that says such a punishment would also affect innocent men in the event of a miscarriage of justice, I would consider it an appropriate punishment.

The companies that develop AI and claim they cannot keep their own agents under control are trying to convince us that we must ­integrate their technologies into all our systems.

A typical everyday ­conversation in autumn 2026: ‘Have you heard? They’re saying on the news that AI is going to kill us all in the coming months.’ ‘Yes, that’s awful. So, how was your holiday?’

It is a remarkable feat by Trump that a state which had only just been slaughtering its own population comes across as the less evil one in a conflict with the US.

I am anti-anyone who judges people’s worth and rights on the basis of skin colour, ethnicity, nationality, gender or sexual orientation. That definitely makes me an anti-fascist. If Netanyahu or whoever claims that this also makes me an anti-Semite, then so be it. I don’t give a fuck!

If it is antisemitic to ­condemn Israel's crimes, I am antisemitic. If it is antisemitic to ­believe that all people have a right to freedom and peace, then I am ­antisemitic. And for that reason, I regard all Jews who likewise consider all people equal and equally entitled as brothers and sisters.

When the ­reports about Trump’s madness no longer seem absurd enough to me, I turn my attention to developments in AI.

Dear Ed, in 1964, four young men from Liverpool in Florida refused to play in front of an audience ­segregated by skin colour, even though that would have meant losing their entire fee.

Trump has renamed ­Artificial Intelligence (AI) as Superintelligence (SI).* *) No joke! PS: I wonder why not ‘American intelligence’?

An AI agent is given some trivial task and, in its eagerness to carry it out to the best of its ability, leaves no ­resources remaining for life to sustain itself. The Earth would then carry on running for all eternity, like a factory where the last person ­forgot to switch off the lights.

When the dream of many scientists has come true and AI has erased every riddle, they will discover a new question behind it: And now what?

Die Orientierung der Konser­vativen an den Forderungen der Rechten hat den Eindruck ver­mittelt, dass diese recht hatten. Kein ­Wunder also, dass Wähler:innen ihr Kreuz heute gleich dort machen.

I’ve just asked an AI for a puma and got a sneaker. So if AI ever wipes us out, it can only happen by ­accident. It’s reassuring to know that.
