Verfassungsschutzbericht, Seite 63 der pdf:

Die Demonstrationen im Rahmen des gegenwärtigen Nahostkonflikts waren zwar nicht per se antisemitisch, jedoch konnten im Zusammenhang mit dem Demonstrationsgeschehen regelmäßig antisemitische Vorfälle beobachtet werden. Immer wieder kam es bei bundesweiten Demonstrationen zu antisemitischer und völkerverständigungswidriger Agitation und entsprechenden Sprechchören, wie beispielsweise „From the river to the sea – Palestine will be free“ oder „Kindermörder Israel“

"From the river to the sea" ist ein Paradebeispiel dafür, dass Straftaten nicht zwingend steigen, weil mehr Strafteten verübt werden, sondern weil Tatbestände ausgeweitet werden.

Mehrfach wurden diese sechs Worte als alleiniger Grund herangezogen, um Menschen aus Demonstrationen zu ziehen und Ermittlungen einzuleiten. Und da die Kriminalstatistiken so funktionieren, wie sie funktionieren, ist es unerheblich, ob in einem Fall überhaupt Anklage erhoben wird oder eine Verurteilung erfolgt. Sobald die Akte der Staatsanwaltschaft übergeben wird, geht in der Statistik der Zähler hoch.

Berlin hatte zwischenzeitlich verfügt, dass jeder Gebrauch der Phrase einen Anfangsverdacht rechtfertigt. Das muss sich allerdings erstmal bis zum letzten Versammlungsteilnehmer rumsprechen. Später wurde die Verfügung wieder aufgehoben, doch mittlerweile gilt die Floskel als "Kennzeichen einer terroristischen Vereinigung" – namentlich der Hamas. Damit ist jede Verwendung dieser sechs Worte quasi per se strafbar, da ein Bezug zur Hamas auf einer palästinasolidarischen Versammlung jederzeit zurechtgezimmert werden kann.

Dass die Hamas selbst den Slogan gar nicht verwendet, interessiert die Behörden dabei nicht.

Die Rechtsprechung sowohl zu "From the River" als auch zu "Kindermörder Israel" war und ist indes nicht einheitlich. Gerade letzteres wird von Gerichten durchaus als überspitzte Kritik am Staat Israel als zulässige Meinungsäußerung gewertet. Entsprechende Berichte über gezielte Tötungen Minderjähriger gab es bereits seit 2024, doch spätestens mit dem jüngst veröffentlichten UN-Report dürfte die pauschale Bewertung als "völkerverständigungswidrige Agitation" sich als äußerst schwierig erweisen.

Auf die Statistiken hat das aus den bekannten Gründen allerdings keinen Einfluss.

isn't it fun how quality standards just do not apply to AI?

I just had to call a customer service hotline - but now they put you through to an AI. I had a pretty simple request, a simple piece of information to be relayed to a responsible party. But the AI couldn't do that, so we went in circles (drip-drop goes the water~) until I finally got put through to an actual human person employee, who took my message and e-mailed the person and that was it.

BUT what's interesting is: I got the announcement "Your call might be recorded, please stay in the line to evaluate this conversation-" between my "conversation" with the AI and before I got put through to the human employee. Not before talking to the AI. Before talking to the actual person. Mind you, the AI failed this pretty simple task and went in circles and was useless. The employee was friendly and immediately helped me, no problem. But I can only evaluate her, not the crap AI.

Any negative evaluation on my part would reflect poorly on the person who helped me, so obviously I give a positive evaluation - but that also means that from the perspective of the company, customer satisfaction remains constant ("yay AI was a success!") OR it gets worse for the human employees when people take out their frustration with the AI on them. Pisses me off.

My asshole son (Muffin the cat) has been on a diet, on account of him being overweight. I've been losing my fuck damned mind because he is not losing weight, even when sticking to the vet reccomended diet.

Found out that the dickhead (affectionate) has figured out that the food is in the utility room cupboard. He has figured out how to hook his claws into the door, pry it open, and get into the fucking cupboard at night, where he then shoves his head in the bag and eats as much as he wants.

He then exits and closes the fucking cupboard like the genius little goddamn prick he is.

Update; my fluffy 25 pound dickhead of a Maine coon mix Disapproves Strongly of the child locks on the food door. Loudly. Is now attempting to figure out how to work a child lock with his enormous crime paws.

So this is interesting because entire thing is communication, and it also shows how important different threat/aggression postures are.

The first cat comes in ready for a fight. Low down, trying not to be seen, stalking/wary posture.

Second cat jumps in the air and then does the exaggerated arch. That's an absolutely terrified cat. No cool, no chill. A cat willing to fight would not have gone full arch because it's moving them out of a position where they could launch themselves at the other cat. However, a scared cat can move from this to a preemptive attack if they think the other cat is going to attack them and just moving slowly.

Realizing the second cat doesn't want a fight, the first cat comes out of the low, threatening slink quickly to roll around to say hey, whoops, they weren't here to attack, they don't want to fight either.

With similar speed and exaggeration as the arch, the second cat does the same wiggle that yes, I too have no desire to fight, look at me doing the same thing and conspicuously not attacking when you're vulnerable.

To function as a social species, you need checks and deescalation. Both cats don't have perfect information about the other cat, and they need to know that they could misread or be misread, and then adjust their behavior to fix the problem.

Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!

Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-

a funny thing about having conversations with people within institutions (academic in this case but also others) about gatekeeping, is that you end up having a conversation over and over in which you're like, "hey this alligator spike pit moat you have erected around your institution is keeping a lot of people out," and they're like, "well *I* navigated the alligator spike pit moat just fine," and you're like, "right. by dint of us having this conversation, you within the institution and me without, it is understood that you navigated the alligator spike pit moat. due to that being an inherent requirement of entering the institution," and they're like, "I don't think you understand the prestigious history of our alligator spike pit moat," and you're like, "is there a reason why there needs to be an alligator spike pit moat encircling the concept of higher education?" and they're like, "look, the alligator spike pit moat isn't for everyone. some people just aren't cut out for the alligator spike pit moat :)" and you're like, "right, yeah, like disabled people and people coming from poverty or unstable home environments or underserved communities or people dealing with difficult to navigate life events like pregnancy or abuse or prison or addiction or the death of a loved one, for example" and they're like, "how dare you imply that we are keeping those people out on purpose. it's their own problem if they can't wrestle the alligators and avoid the spikes while also disabled and/or poor and/or pregnant etc" and you're like, "well that seems evil," and they're like, "it sounds like maybe you're just bitter about the alligator spike pit moat because of your totally random individual experience with ONE bad alligator spike pit moat. have you considered therapy?" and you're like, "did you know that there's some patterns here in terms of how y'all are handling this stuff?" and they're like, "actually yes. we even have a department of alligator spike pit studies :)" and you're like, "that's great, how do I get access to and participate in those conversations?" and they're like, "well firstly you must cross the alligator spike pit moat"

if you can document that you have a medical condition that might make it challenging for you to navigate the alligator spike pit moat, they'll give you an extra 20 minutes to complete your navigation of the alligator spike pit moat

IMPORTANT: any injuries incurred as a result of navigating the alligator spike pit moat will be the sole responsibility of the injured parties. once you leave, the people who made you navigate the alligator spike pit moat and the institution that installed the alligator spike pit moat will never contact you again. except sometimes to ask you for more money.

genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using ai because of witch hunt and proper grammar/structure in their works must be what being a woman in the 1600s who is wrongly accused of being a witch because she can read and is intelligent feels like
