Wenn ein Polizeigewerkschaftssprecher gewaltlegitimierende Metaphern verwendet, ist das leider keine Drohung, sondern eine Ankündigung: "„Linksextremismus ist ein demokratiegefährdendes Krebsgeschwür, das sich durch unsere Gesellschaft frisst und leider auch im politischen Raum immer wieder auf Nährboden trifft.“" (https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/linksextremismus-razzia-nach-anschlag-auf-strommasten-im-september-in-berlin-15392388.html, ursprünglich gepostet auf, wen wunderts, Fascho- und Verschwörungsplattform X.) Denn wie geht mensch mit Krebsgeschwüren um, was meint ihr?

Welllllll this isn't great.

Blaming cyclists, invisibilising drivers: How 🇨🇭 media report collisions 🚲 🚘

🔍 With Lucca Reymond we identified recurring biases in 204 articles on collisions
➡️ Cyclists are the focus
➡️ Drivers are omitted or invisible, replaced by their (autonomous?) car
➡️ Language (passive voice, non‑agentive phrasing...) obscures responsibility or points to the cyclist

For example, the most frequent title is "A cyclist injured"
➡️ The focus is the cyclist
➡️ No mention of the cause (collision)
➡️ No mention of a driver

The fact that a motorist is involved appears in only 42% of the titles but is usually depicted as "a car"

‼️ Media report do not reflect crash data. Responsibility in collision
➡️ Cyclist 28%
➡️ Motorists 64%
➡️ Both 8%

‼️ Road design and infrastructure are rarely mentioned, reinforcing the idea that collisions are individual mishaps rather than preventable outcomes. Only 1 of the 204 papers included an expert outside the police.

🧠 Why it matters
Media narratives shape public and political understanding of road safety. When reporting implicitly blames cyclists and normalizes driver invisibility, it becomes harder to build support for safer mobility policies (#motormativity).

It's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.

How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.

But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.

Liberale Systeme fördern Kritik und kritisches Denken, um daraus zu lernen.
Autoritäre Systeme unterdrücken beides.

Ich möchte in einem liberalen System leben und einer offenen Gesellschaft.
Die @Bundesregierung bevorzugt offensichtlich das Gegenteil.

EU: Große Unterschiede im Nutzungsverhalten öffentlichen Verkehrs. Allgemein gesagt ist da wohl noch Luft nach oben 🙂

Es ist ein bisher einmaliger Vorgang: Eine Bundesbehörde will ein Demokratie-Projekt weiterfördern – aber das Innenministerium untersagt die Finanzierung ohne Begründung und trotz Warnung anderer Beamt*innen.
