The presentation of @pluralistic - ah, let's call it a Brandrede - at the #39c3 is really good. And, congratulations on that, is a rather positive one amidst rather dark times. In this speech we find recipes that should absolutely be tried out.

Trump has staged an unscheduled, midair rapid disassembly of the global system of trade. Ironically, it is this system that prevented all...
One of the most important examples of #Trump #censorship to date:

Drüben im @verfassungsblog gibt es gerade die Serie "Wem gehört die Wissenschaft?" zu #OpenScience. Darin der sehr lesenswerte Beitrag von @brembs über Publikationsdienstleistungen allgemein und den Ausbruch der EU aus dem strukturellen Verlagsmonopol mit der neuen Open Access Publikationsplattform „Open Research Europe“ (ORE).
Leseempfehlung!

Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission
I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).
By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?
Thank you for your consideration
Senile reality show host no longer able to distinguish reality from show:
The consequences of dismantling the science power house of the world, in the words of scientists:
"From beginning to end, 2025 was a year of devastation for scientists in the United States."
"With our federal funding cut by 60%, my team and I are unable to continue developing our addiction medicine curriculum and enrolling medical schools and clinicians into our program."
"We are [...] focused on treating pediatric cancer [...]. This research is being crushed "
US science lost a great deal in 2025, including tens of billions of dollars of federal funding, entire research agencies and programs, and a generation of researchers.
Your attention, scientists and others out there. A petition has been setup by the AGU to protest against the closure of NCAR
"[...] Erst recht nicht, wenn diese Bevorzugung in eine Struktur führt, die Steuermittel verschwendet, Grundrechte verletzt, unzuverlässige Wissenschaft belohnt – und die wissenschaftliche Praxis insgesamt in Geiselhaft nimmt. Wer heute dennoch in den alten Journalen veröffentlichen möchte, sollte in der Tat sämtliche damit verbundenen Kosten selbst tragen – sowohl die finanziellen als auch alle anderen."
Genau das, genau so. Danke für diesen Text Björn @brembs!
