#ThinkTanks
Just realised: most of the 'Sadiq Khan is going to ban Uber' UK thinktanks (he wasn't) are now 'Deliveroo drivers are the enemy of the West' thinktanks (they aren't).
Reminds me of the hot takes when Uber was going to be banned in London.

Like clockwork , as soon as you criticise the fossil fuel companies and executives – out come the lobbyists and shady thinktanks based at and near the infamous SW1 55 Tufton Street .

Zu den Geldgebern zählen laut dem Forschungsteam etwa #ExxonMobil, #Shell und #Chevron. Sie spenden an Lobbygruppen und Thinktanks.

#FossileMafia aufgeflogen 👍

I've decided to become a thinktank.

This is how thinktanks work. They decide to become a thinktank, declare themselves thinktanks and then because they're thinktanks, they can be quoted as newsworthy.

I can now spout any bollocks I like, and can be used in any news piece that it suits.

Menschenwürde steht nicht „unter Finanzierungsvorbehalt“, sondern im 1. Artikel unseres Grundgesetzes. Das sollten auch staatlich alimentierte ThinkTanks der CDU wissen.

The way that money into thinktanks influences public debate is not mostly by corruption. The people who work at the thinktanks generally hold their opinions in good faith, and are not bought off.

But money into thinktanks biases public debate via SELECTION.

Mit Trump als Präsidenten gewinnen auch seine marktradikalen und klimafeindlichen Ideen an Einfluss: Wir zeigen, welche Politiker, Thinktanks und Ökonomen seine düsteren Thesen in Deutschland 🇩🇪 und Europa 🇪🇺 verbreiten – bis hinein in die CDU und zu ihrem Spitzenkandidaten Merz.

Could MattGPT face scrutiny under the UK’s ‘proceeds of crime’ law? The British right is awash with money from Orban thinktanks…which Hungary’s new PM says was stolen.

Brilliant deep dive into Orban’s vast UK network by @McCoolingtons
for @thenerve_news. 👏
NEW Hungary’s new PM has described Viktor Orbán’s funding of propaganda bodies as criminal and vowed to investigate.

Bad news for ultraconservatives in the UK!

das Großkapital im Sinne gerechterer, nachhaltigerer, sozialerer Wirtschaft abzubauen.

Er folgt damit 1:1 dem „Projekt 2025“ benannten Leitfaden des amerikanischen Thinktanks Heritage Foundation zur Umschichtung, Destrukturierung, Entdemokratisierung von Gesellschaft.

This only happened after years of delay by activity linked to thinktanks, funded by plutocrats’ foundations and deploying complicit scientists. It was an easier fix, so they didn’t fight as long.
In a world of Matts, be a Derek.

Wir können uns rechtsextreme Thinktanks nicht leisten. Weder finanziell, noch inhaltlich.

Nun unterstützt die Heritage Foundation ihre ungarischen und polnischen Partner-Thinktanks dabei, einen ähnlichen Plan für die EU umzusetzen mit dem Ziel, die EU zu zerstören.
Trumps Project 2025 ist ihr Vorbild: Wie rechte Thinktanks um Viktor Orbán die EU zerstören wollen
Rechtsextreme Kräfte aus Polen und Ungarn wollen die europäischen Institutionen schwächen. Schützenhilfe erhalten sie dabei aus den USA. Die Europäische Union muss diese Pläne ernst nehmen.

Lam took a bunch of X posts from far-right racists and so-called "thinktanks" and turned them into a policy that collapsed as soon as anyone actually read it/understood it.

Would have been an absolute travesty if she hadn't won!

Klingt ganz nach dem Parteiprogramm eines linksradikalen Thinktanks: Der Bundesrechnungshof fordert unglaubliches!
Der Bundesrechnungshof empfiehlt die Abschaffung von Subventionen, Steuervergünstigungen und die bessere Bekämpfung von Steuerhinterziehung, dieser weltfremde Sozialistenverein

It’s a great betrayal: poor communities neglected while multimillionaires peddle a global Maga agenda. How is that America first, asks Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi

He's right of course.

The pages of the Telegraph, the Spectator, GBNews, right-wing "thinktanks" are increasingly dominated by bigots and racists like Murray whose reasoning and objectives are no different from the BNP of the 1990s.

This nonsense has become a fucking cult. Collective AI psychosis intertwined with shameless grift. Two of the authors operate out of AI thinktanks opaquely funded by philanthropic donations (i.e. tech-bros), they used chatbots to help write it, & the paper hasn‘t been peer reviewed. Garbage.
Can the new cutting-edge AI models feel pain? They at least behave as if they do, according to a recent study.

The work, which has not been peer reviewed, has divided #AI researchers. https://scim.ag/4hHU6BA
