First time Dogs wear boots is funny 🤣 pet boots are good for paw protection on hot cement or snow/ice. It takes a little while but they get used to them.
@ingmar.wsocial.eu - look who is getting translated into Japanese! The Japanese ATProto user base is second after the US, with the highest penetration rate per capita and the highest daily time spent (and they are third on X). So, one guy built skyphone.social to get it all translated seamlessly.
The idea that the Russia-Ukraine War and the US-Iran War are merging into one global conflict is perplexing. The US is siding with Russia even as Russians help Iranians kill American soldiers. So the new global war would have to involve the USA helping others kill Americans.
🇹🇷 "No future? The Growing Exodus of Young Turks" by @news.dw.com Under 30 year olds make up half of Turkey's population. Most of them want to leave. They are angry. Democracy, civil liberties are being restricted. The job market looks gloomy. Turkey is in danger of losing its youth.

Wenn das ein hybrider Angriff gewesen wäre, um Europas Entschlossenheit, Zusammenhalt und Reaktionsfähigkeit zu testen, dann hat Europa den Test nicht bestanden. Das ist auch eine der Lehren der letzten 48 Stunden.
Jan Skudlarek@janskudlarek.bsky.social · 4d ago"Die Europäer haben auf eine Bedrohung von außen nicht gemeinsam reagiert, sondern sind übereinander hergefallen. Der gestrige Tag war ein schwarzer Tag für Europa und ein Fest für seine Feinde." www.zeit.de/politik/2026...
Ukraine Foreign Affairs Minister: "We have detected intensive Russian propaganda campaign across Europe using pictures from Ceuta to sow destabilisation." Far-right from EU (& US!) falls with open eyes for hybrid threats from the weaponisation of migration, even fan the flames. #unity #solidarity
Imagine a smartphone that does not require an Apple or Google login, but runs Android apps. You can log in with an Atmosphere account by Bluesky, Blacksky, Eurosky, Wsocial... One day, this could lead to a federation of mutually compatible Africa phones, Euro phones, India phones, etc.
Scooty@scottlanoue.com · 5d agoHappy Friday! I've been building towards an "Atmosphere OS", where my atproto account is the identity layer on a real phone. I wrote a little bit about it here:
Ukrainians have been teaching us what russian "hybrid" warfare is all about for over 12 years, but oblivous Westerners still don't get it. Missiles exploding in Kyiv, migrants surging into Ceuta, Brexit, Trump-for-President, disinformation in the news media – it's all one global war for Moscow.
A heavy lesson to take from a summer movie? If great powers break the international law of their time, they risk becoming the architects of their own downfall. #odyssey
Gesine Weber@gesineweber.bsky.social · 6d agoIf you fancy a blend of pop culture (Odyssey) and international law: my colleague Sabina Stein has written an excellent take on this. css.ethz.ch/en/center/CS...
How an overemphasis on analytical thinking causes us to lose wisdom and meaning. Brain researcher and philosopher McGilchrist gives people who feel modern society has become bureaucratic, mechanical and spiritually dry a rigorous, intellectual framework to explain why. With #Re-Enchantment appeal.

Musk was humiliated in his interview with The Economist editor Zanny Minton Beddoes. She called him out on his bullshit, pointed out his lies and ignorance and extreme prejudice. We need more interviews like that. This is the response of the world’s thinnest-skinned man.
Finally! The edit button is on the product roadmap of #Wsocial When will we see it on #atproto based #bluesky?

🇬🇧 Will Nigel Farage lose the #Clacton by-election A. because of a rather serious sense of humour failure? B. because populism eventually become its own worst enemy? C. his supporters, over time, simply transcend into an other state of being? What do you think? youtu.be/yqKqarXU8Mc?...

Alles, alles war und ist bekannt und es wird weiterhin ignoriert. Wir haben den Pyrocumulonimbus 2020 erklärt, die Mechanismen sind die Gleichen. In Frankreich war zumindest ein Cumulus dieser Art zu beobachten. Die Brände erzeugen ihr eigenes Wetter. #Klimaignoranz ist tödlich.
🇬🇷 "Classical antiquity matters [...] The real reason the Odyssey has never stopped mattering is that it isn't simply the story of an ancient king of Ithaca. It's about the longing to return home, about loss, temptation, endurance, family, and the search for the place where we truly belong."

A "20 friends" approach and a "nest feature" might be key for social networks like @bsky.app, @wsocial.eu and others. Sociologist Robin Dunbar found that humans can maintain around 150 social ties, but only 5 to 20 form a core group of friends. Find them and everything else follows.
Spain has shown us that if you are happy and work for the group, you can achieve anything you want. That's the whole point of the EU.
Loved the Odyssey, what a triumph of imagination. The main message: don't break the rules of your civilization or it may crash and burn around you
The next generation of social media networks needs to stop chasing the myth of a single global language. Instead, the goal should be mutual accessibility.

Fussball WM Endspiel - Pressestimmen @derstandard.at "Messi und Argentinien haben nichts verdient, denn sie haben nichts geleistet [...] Nichts als Foul, Foul und noch mehr Foul. Das war hässlicher, deprimierender Anti-Fußball. Und der hat bekommen, was er verdient." - urteilt hart The Telegraph
Pressestimmen: "Spanien beendet Messis Weltmeisterschafts-Ära"
Weltweit waren sich Medien einig: Der Sieg der Furia Roja gegen Argentinien war mehr als verdient

🇨🇳 In China werden Studenten bei Prüfungen dafür belohnt, die KI "fix und fertig zu machen". OK, das ist jetzt überspitzt. Realität: Punkte gibt's, wenn Studierende die KI an ihre Grenzen bringen und möglichst viele Fehler dokumentieren.
China löst Problem, an dem Schulen und Universitäten in Deutschland gerade scheitern
Ein Universitätskurs in Shanghai ließ Studierende drei Sprachmodelle gezielt an ihre Grenzen bringen. In Deutschland bleibt man beim Thema KI vorsichtig.

The Iran oil shock was supposed to end the world. It just never happened. Turns out it's because China single-handedly stopped it from hitting – pulled off a set of moves no one thought were possible – changed the history of oil overnight – and did it all in secret. Here’s how they pulled it off.
