So "NATO 3.0" is supposed to be a "warfighting organization"? I thought that NATO was a "defensive organization." "Warfighting organization" sounds more like a spear to be controlled by the US....

Der (wahrscheinlichste) Fahrplan für die nächste Hitzewelle: 2 Tage noch gut lüften, ab Mittwoch rollte die Hitze über Österreich und bringt eine gute Woche lang Temperaturen verbreitet über 35 Grad, Spitzen bis 39. Vereinzelt sind sogar noch wieder 40 Grad denkbar.

In Österreich geht wirklich alles. Der Geschäftsführer (!) einer Zeitung (nebenbei VÖZ-Präsident) etabliert an der Redaktion vorbei ein Podcast-Format für sich & interviewt harmlos einen Autokraten. Begründen tut er es damit dass er als Journalist Mist gebaut hat. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

"Presse"-Redaktionsausschuss "irritiert" von CEO Nowaks Vučić-Interview

Erster Gast der Gesprächsreihe "Rainer Nowaks Meisterklasse" ist Serbiens Autokrat Aleksandar Vučić. Nowak will das nicht als Zustimmung zu Vučićs Politik verstehen

Both the Times and the Post are saying Trump "Fell Far Short" or "Stops Short" or providing evidence of election tampering. These are lousy euphemisms that do not tell the reader the actual state of the evidence, and imply that evidence of a broken election system actually exists. It doesn't.

Bislang hat Trump in Ankara • seinen eigenen Iran-Deal aufgekündigt • das Ende des Handels mit Spanien angekündigt • erneut auf Grönland bestanden • den ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj irrtümlich „Putin“ genannt • den Iran mit Japan verwechselt. Aber es ist ja erst 16 Uhr.

BREAKING: Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen again rejected Trump's demand for the US to control Greenland at NATO. She said Denmark is “ready to defend every inch of NATO including our own territory.”

The NATO summit was supposed to focus on defense spending. Trump's strikes on Iran changed that

President Donald Trump has thrown a major twist into a NATO summit in Turkey by launching a series of strikes on Iran and revoking a license that allowed Tehran to sell its oil on the world market.

Warum fällt es mir schwer, hier an Zufall zu glauben? Und selbst wenn es einer sein sollte: das ist ein Versagen vermeintlich „neutraler“ KI. Gerade im Vergleich zu Claude mit viel ausgewogeneren Werten.

Tabelle, welche Nachrichtenportale von ChatGPT am meisten zitiert werden und „welt.de“ vom Springer Konzern liegt mit 264 mit sehr großem Abstand an der Spitze. Dahinter liegt Deutschlandfunk mit 55 und graduell absteigend weitere 8 Medien bis zum Wert 12.

Newly released emails show a lobbyist for autonomous weapons manufacturer Anduril drafted legislative language exempting the company's Ohio factory from local referendum challenges after residents repeatedly tried to force votes on real estate developments. By: @tkbarnes.bsky.social

In Ohio, Who Really Gets a Say in Anduril Weapons Factories?

Residents of a small township in Ohio wanted a vote on a new Anduril weapons factory. Then the state changed the rules.

I think it's a moral abomination for Ezra Klein to have Chris Rufo on his podcast and then get a transcript of it published in The New York Times as if this is a conversation between equals and not a radical centrist and a fascist telling each other 'exaaaaactlyyyy'

Another argument you make in that piece is: “The popular slogan that ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ betrays similar problems” — the slogan being Ben Shapiro’s. In reality, feelings almost always overpower facts. Reason is a slave of the passions. Yes, that’s true, and we’ll caveat — we love Ben Shapiro. We’re Ben Shapiro fans, of course. But I think that he’s very wrong on that, and I think conservatives have made a fundamental error in latching on to that. And really, what it is — it’s a rationalization for losing. It’s like: Yes, we may have lost the great political question that operates on emotions or passions, but we have the facts on our side, and if only people would read our white paper, our regression analysis or our rigorous logical argumentation, then we would be vindicated. But look, while we should have the facts on our side, and while we should use logic, by itself, it’s insufficient. And, in fact, politics operates on a deeper level, an emotional level. And politics occurs on the field of sentiment and public opinion — much more on the field of abstract argumentation at the top. Then you go on in the same piece to make an argument for “agitprop” — an old Soviet Union term for agitation and propaganda mashed up together. It doesn’t have a great reputation — “agitprop” is usually not a term of endearment. But you say: “Agitprop doesn’t mean sacrificing the truth but, rather, channeling the truth toward victory.”

People in France: please put out water in bowls for animals. If you put a shallow dish with some rocks in it, bees can drink also. Different sized bowls are good for different animals. You might see cool wildlife and they will be very grateful even if you don’t see them!!

Statt endlich die Gesetze für Klimaanlagen an den Stand der Klimakatastrophe anzupassen, wurde in Österreich also wieder das Hitzetelefon in Betrieb genommen. Wie immer Scheinlösungen statt echte Problemlösungen.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

It breaks my mind that Trump saying a deal is close with Iran still secures one of five news slots in a BBC radio bulletin. He's fucking said this for months guys. Months. None of it means anything.

Jarvanka Kushner met Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama in 2021 This deal has been in the making since 2021, not 2024 when Ivanka 'suddenly found paradise' www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Sold to the Trump family: one of the last undeveloped islands in the Mediterranean

The long read: Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have spent more than $1bn on an Albanian island that will be a luxury resort – once the unexploded ordnance has been removed

Rubio has come a long way since cosponsoring the legislation that bars POTUS from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO. That legislation is besides the point if POTUS can wreck NATO from within—including by threatening the territorial conquest of NATO allies.

Greenland remains part of Denmark "for now," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a Wednesday House hearing — a nod to President Trump's repeated threats to take over the allied island.
