Hey #ica26, I recently wrote a little something that I believe might be interesting to many. Over years I tried to find a way to properly keep up to date with new journal publications across those journals that are most important to me... (1/n)

‘Backward’ photo panned for display of patriarchy, signaling that ‘women’s voices don’t matter in shaping global order’

People are very bad at predicting what other people want when it comes to climate change and clean energy. Most people want rapid buildout of clean power, now. There is an durable super-majority of Americans that want climate action. Somehow this is not accepted as reality by people in power.

Ignore the liberals who say that the Democrats should support fossil fuels to be popular. They are wrong. According to the latest Yale data, majorities support generating renewable energy on public land. MAJORITIES OPPOSE DRILLING AND MINING FOR FOSSIL FUELS on public land.

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

"Cites Falsehood" is a very pathetic way to avoid saying "Lies." NY Times headline: "Hegseth Cites Falsehood to Defend His Firing of Senior Officers"

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Bessent dismisses the threat of climate change and melting ice caps: "As we all know, the natural habitat for the Earth is actually water."

I’d especially like to encourage women to apply. We’re a fantastic department with excellent scholars, in beautiful Vienna. Data shows that women are less likely to apply for positions than equally qualified men (Muriel Niederle & Lise Vesterlund 2011), so if you’re considering it, please go for it!

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country. The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...

Compare that, for example, to the continued normalization and sanewashing by NYT

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Lorenz Meyer@thereallorenzmeyer.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.
