WHO is deeply concerned that a full-scale military operation in Rafah could lead to a bloodbath. More than 1.2 million people are currently sheltering in the area, many unable to move anywhere else.
(“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned … It has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”)
Funny — the journalists who spoke up said McDaniel’s departure was required to
🔸preserve their journalistic mission and the network’s credibility,
🔸not out of any need for “alignment.”
We can only hope that NBC and other news organizations take away something more than “don’t hire a MAGA mouthpiece”
A few ideas:
• Create a #mission#statement that affirms your goals are telling the #truth and defending #democracy, which protects the First Amendment — not fake balance. • #Stop#pretending four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump and his movement are presenting #alternative “#policies” as a normal party would. They are fighting for an alternate system: authoritarianism. • Politicians’ outright #lies must be identified, not just labeled as their “response” or “position.” • Instead of obsessing over #polls, devote extensive coverage to #analyzing the Heritage Foundation’s “#Project2025” and Trump’s #fascist#agenda. Feature #historians and political #scientists during news segments (not only on panels) to put Trump’s views and statements in context. • #Don’t excerpt a few words from a Trump rally or speech, dub it an “argument” and #ignore his mental short-circuits and #deteriorating#intellect.
SLUB verlässt die Social-Media-Plattform X (ehemals Twitter)
Aus unserer Sicht ist wissenschaftliche Kooperation und Kommunikation nur durch Diversität und eine respektvolle Gesprächskultur ohne Diskriminierung möglich. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist Twitter/X nicht mehr die geeignete Plattform für uns.
“The pulverising of #Gaza now ranks amongst the worst assaults on any #CivilianPopulation in our time and age. Each day we see more dead children and new depths of suffering for the innocent people enduring this hell.
Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:
A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.
Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply more likely to file bugs.
Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA
Ok folks if you are in the path of #hilary, the time to prepare is almost over. Leading bands are already hitting the desert floor. Last minute stuff, get it done now. The danger here is not so much wind, but water. #CalOES is already pre positioned swift water teams. The early bands, ahead of the main event are already hitting desert communities.
It will hit the coast relatively soon. Landfall expected tomorrow.
"Live in a facist policestate and I don't want my family and myself to be forcibly disappeared for speaking my mind!" [i.e. in North Korea and "P.R." China]
or
"I'm a naive bootlicker and I want to profiteer from opression!" i.e. [#USA, #EU & most of the world]...
Analysis: This is actually a #defeatist and #anti#democratic#statement that sets the scheme up for never being able to influence the rules of the game.
It’s anathema to what democracies are supposed to be about: Rewriting the rules of the game so it’s more fair and more just for an increasing amount of people.
And the most succesfull of them turn in a huge profit, because they increase amounts of win-win #games over win-lose & lose-lose.
