I'm bad at the self-promotion part, so I'll keep this short.

I started a newsletter for people in the nonprofit world trying to make sense of AI without the hype. It's the thing I kept wishing existed over the last 2 years - plain, practical, honest about what actually matters and what doesn't.

First issue goes out tomorrow. Would love to have the fediverse there.

Making sense of AI for nonprofit leaders.

The Thing Is

Here's an unsolicited newsletter recommendation for a Monday evening: check out @natera's publication. He writes about moving away from algorithms and towards real connections – something I've found really fulfilling over the last couple of years of writing my own newsletter and finding the fediverse. Great photography too.

Photography Without Instagram

Is it possible to build a photography community without Instagram at the centre? From the Fediverse to newsletters, exploring what it means to share work beyond the algorithm.

Today we held it all: the burning boats off Accra and the welcome bags in Portland, the senators counting and the witches stockpiling, the fist and the open hand. A party learning that loyalty bought with terror has a shelf life. A sea keeping count with all our names on the bill. A study that caught the left flinching at a soft voice. This whole rickety beautiful thing runs on readers who chip in — not billionaires, not ad networks. No billionaire owns a syllable here. If today's words fed you, feed them back: click one of our advertisers. That single tap is the net beneath the whole tightrope, and it's woven from nothing but us.

Newsletter: Where am I submitt...

KalkĂŒle und Rechnungen

Esther Menhard/netzpolitik: “Rechenzentren in der EU – Stromfresser sollen uns souverĂ€n machen”. Solche Rechenzentren könnten politisch die nĂ€chsten “AKWs” werden in den BĂŒrgerkriegen der Zukunft um die begrenzten Ressourcen (bitte achten Sie immer unten auf den Rheinpegel). Vincent Först//netzpolitik kommentiert in seiner Sonntagskolumne die Welt des Onlineshoppings: “Trugbild: Schöne (un-)heile Welt”.

Roland Appel zur “Rechtsextreme FlĂŒchtlingspolitik – von CSU und Co”.

In der UNO ist es so gekommen, wie es Andreas Zumach vorhergesehen hat. Dazu Roland Appel: “Selbstverantwortet sicherheitsratlos”.

Henning Venske stellt sich Alexander Dobrindt als “Bettpfannen-Tester” vor, unter der Überschrift “Freude, schöner Götterfunken”.

“Lesen Sie selbst”, was es im DLF zu Liberalismus, Postliberalismus und Linken zu sagen gab. Hierzu verfasst Roland Appel eine Kritik. Bitte schauen Sie hier nach, ob sie fertig ist. Hinweis-Link erfolgt morgen.

Da draussen in der Welt haben sie andere Probleme, aber auch Ähnlichkeiten, die uns Gilbert Kolonko nĂ€herbringt: “‘Online-Kakerlaken’ jetzt auf der Straße – Was als Internet Protest der Jugend Indiens begann, hat nun die Straße der Hauptstadt New Delhi erreicht”. Zahlreiche Leser*innen dĂŒrsten offenbar nach Nachrichten aus der realen Welt da draussen, die hiesige Medien immer weniger liefern.

Von ganz hier um die Ecke Gudrun Giese/ver.di-publik: “Ein Branchentarifvertrag muss her – Befragung in der Weiterbildung offenbart hohe Anforderungen bei niedrigen Honoraren”.

Aus dem Radio:

“Das kommt – Vieles in den Niederlanden steht uns noch bevor – aber manches ist jetzt schon schlimmer”.

Im TV:

“Dokumentarperlen? – Morgen auf Arte und schon verfĂŒgbar”. In einem der empfohlenen BeitrĂ€ge wird grundsĂ€tzlich problmatisiert, was Andre Meister/netzpolitik an einem konkreten politischen Beispiel berichtet: “Automatisierte Falschmeldungen – BKA meldet Kinderpornografie, die keine ist”.

Zum Fussball:

AndrĂ© Dahlmeyer: “WM, Unterklassen & das Familienlos”. Und kurz nach Mitternacht finden Sie hier Hausaufgaben zur “WM-Vorbereitung”.

Eine Woche mit 5 Werktagen? Kaum zu glauben, oder? Das wird den Bundeskanzler aber freuen, wo er doch so wenig zu lachen hat.

Week 23-26 - Curiosities

Greetings from the Mesa! Well howdy! We are back to being hosted on Ghost. Yours truly made a really stupid mistake with my hosting provider, and lost my whole website (and email) temporarily. So we are starting from scratch, thankfully I still had 6 months left on my Ghost plan

Of Wonder and Wander
