Ist es radikal, optimistisch zu sein?

Nach der Debatte über das WDR-Lied »Meine Oma ist ‘ne alte Umweltsau« fragt sich unsere Kolumnistin, wie eine gemeinsame Gesprächskultur der Generationen aussehen könnte.

... “Denn was ist schon ein Lied, das bewusst provokant ist, aber erst einmal nichts verändert, im Vergleich dazu, welche Formen der Macht gerade von der Eltern- und Großelterngeneration der jetzigen Schulkinder ausgeübt werden und die Zukunft dieser Kinder beeinflussen? Ein freches Lied kann man abschütteln oder sich ein paar Minuten darüber ärgern. Doch die Erderwärmung? Die kann ein Kind nicht von seinem Smartphone löschen, sie bleibt.”

The Art of David O’Meara

David O’Meara is an artist based in London, who work primarily in digital.

In terms of my digital work, I enjoy creating scenes that bring about a sense of foreign nostalgia. Places you know you’ve never been but feel like you have. The atmosphere plays an important role in creating this, so it’s always been a priority. I try to create pieces that are ‘moody’ and emotive. Using exaggerated colors with bold contrast to do so. A lot of my scenes are portrayed at dawn or dusk, without necessarily specifying which one. Some might see it as an ending where others might see it as the beginning. I like leaving them open to absorb as many narratives as they can. I set the scene, it’s up to others to fill it. Things are always more interesting that way. H/T

Who makes the decisions about women’s bodies, and who dominates the public discourse about their right to choose? Well. ...

Double standards much?

Forschergeist 072: Verantwortung in der Informatik

Gespräch mit Peter Purgathofer von der TU Wien, der dafür eintritt, dass Software-Entwickler sich der Verantwortung bewusst sind, die ihre Arbeit hat. Denn Informatik wird zunehmend zur zentralen Wissenschaftsdisziplin schlechthin.

Jede*r die*der in IT arbeitet* sollte das hören. Sind zwar 110, aber tatsächlich interessante und relevante Minuten. *Und eigentlich alle anderen auch. ;)

Women for Trump Is a Motley Crew of Bigots and Frauds

They’re the ‘squad’ you should actually be worried about

(3 min read)

Women who support limiting others’ rights for their own benefit — a study in Trumpism if there ever was one — are not new. - aka “The Squad” we should Actually be worried about.  Let’s take a look at who’s leading that squad: The advisory board of Women for Trump is a who’s who of bigots and swindlers — with a few former beauty queens, Apprentice contestants, and a Pussycat Doll thrown in for good measure.

Birtherism Was the Beginning, but What Is Trump’s Endgame?

His persistent attacks on the freshman WOC ‘Squad’ have an all-too-familiar ring

The Squad represents a consciousness and an unwillingness to submit to the dystopian future Trump and his red hat Klansman have in store for America.

Gloomy Sunday

Latest addition to Memo Akten’s ongoing ‘Learning to See’ project demonstrates a neural network powered realtime image translation framework, presenting possibilites for visual poetry:

A pre-trained deep neural network making predictions on live camera input, trying to make sense of what it sees, in context of what it’s seen before. It can see only what it already knows, just like us.
