"It’s perfectly fine to say: We want you nowhere in our systems.
The problem with what the government is doing here is saying: We’re going to destroy your company.

Excellente (et déprimante) #vulgarisation
2/2 "No one has been held accountable in a single one of the cases of targeted killing identified in 2025. That is a longstanding pattern seen worldwide, those responsible for the murder of journalists are not investigated, and certainly not held to account." www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

2/2 "The countries that are determined to have the strongest democracies have the healthiest & best-funded public broadcasting systems. This doesn't necessarily argue for causation, although I found positive correlation that they tend to rise and fall together." www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

"Whatever ideological baggage you bring to the question of A.I. oversight, the political deadlock left us with a pretty strange status quo. The country is hugely anxious about what’s to come while at the same time seeming to lack real faith in anyone, or in any institution, to actually manage it."

Stanley Plotkin, 93 ans, a vu au cours de sa carrière de moins en moins d'enfants mourir de maladies qui étaient devenues évitables grâce à des #vaccins. Y compris des vaccins qu'il avait lui-même contribué à développer. Il n'aurait toutefois jamais cru être témoin d'un renversement du pendule.
Francis Dupuis-Déri sur les réactions à sa recherche sur les élèves sexistes et homophobes: «Qu’en pensent les adultes ? Au-delà d’échos très positifs (merci !), plusieurs ont critiqué la recherche, minimisant ou niant ces problèmes graves sans aucune empathie pour les victimes»
