I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat. -- Rebecca West (The Clarion, 1913) #feminism #quotes

Ein beispielloser Takeover der ehemals antifaschistischen (†) und antinazistischen (†) Bundesrepublik: Neonazis sind jetzt Landtagspräsident und Landtagsvize. Bald soll noch ein bekennender Faschist als Ministerpräsident dazukommen. UND DER BUNDESKANZLER SCHWEIGT! Wir sind eine wehrlose Demokratie.

Look, Trump welcoming the idea of a foreign enemy murdering millions of Americans isn't great, but at least it's nowhere near as bad as Obama saying economic dislocation can lead people to scapegoat others, or Hillary Clinton saying millions of Republicans are good, it's just the bigots who are bad.

This follows from a turbulent time at Roskilde University, with political attacks from the central government for their (previously) high admission of foreign students and widespread student protests against genocide.

The picture it paints of Roskilde University can best be described as disturbing. Academic staff Danish newspaper Politiken talked to wished to remain anonymous, and communicated over Signal as they are afraid of being wiretapped. They were worried they would be fired for illoyalty.

Setting aside the fact that this is obviously racist and idiotic, note how she says ‘English, Welsh, and Scottish’ but erases Northern Ireland. That’s because she’d have to awkwardly say Irish following the same ‘logic’, and that would be politically disastrous.

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.
