Der Fake-News-Fake
Die allgemeine Verharmlosung des Lügens hat mittlerweile dazu geführt, dass Betrug ganz offiziell als Dienstleistung angeboten wird Gerade zu Jahresbeginn sollten wir uns wieder darauf besinnen: Früher war nicht alles besser. Aber manches schon. Zum Beispiel das: "Es existiert ein Mensch, der allein Schuld an allen gesellschaftlichen Fehlentwicklungen von heute hat." "Wer?" "DER STEINSCHEISSER-KOARL!!!"

Here’s why Nazis are loving Ann Coulter’s latest tweet
Madonna sang that “life is a mystery” and never has that been more true than today—the day Ann Coulter cryptically tweeted a single number, and set the world aflame with speculation. 14! — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 5, 2017 What could Ann possibly mean? Is she (incorrectly) counting down the days until President-elect Trump’s inauguration? Is she celebrating the birthday of a particularly long-lived dog? Life truly is mysterious.

Scherzkekse ändern "Hollywood"-Schriftzug in "Hollyweed"
Schelme änderten den berühmten Schriftzug über Nacht mit Planen Los Angeles (Kalifornien) – Der berühmte "Hollywood"-Schriftzug wurde in der Nacht auf den Neujahrstag offenbar Opfer von marihuanaaffinen Scherzbolden. Wie diverse US-Medien, etwa der "Hollywood-Reporter", berichten, haben bisher unbekannte Personen am frühen Sonntagmorgen die "O"s des Schriftzugs so mit Planen verhangen, dass dort statt "Hollywood" nun "Hollyweed" steht.

Mehr Farbe – weniger Angst
Auch in Hamburg haben sie Vorgestern an Weihnachtsmärkten Betonklötze aufgestellt, die gegen eventuelle Anschläge schützen sollen. Eine Nacht später sahen einige dann so aus.

Strache-Flynn-Treffen? Vilimsky dementiert Dementi
Ein Sprecher von Donald Trump dementiert, dass der FPÖ-Chef dessen künftigen Sicherheitsberater Michael Flynn getroffen hat. Der freiheitliche Europaabgeordnete Harald Vilimsky bestreitet das.
Ein Sprecher des designierten US-Präsidenten Donald Trump hat dementiert, dass FPÖ-Chef Heinz-Christian Strache vor einigen Wochen den künftigen Nationalen Sicherheitsberater, Ex-General Michael Flynn, sowie Kongressabgeordnete und Lokalpolitiker getroffen hat. Das aber hatte Strache, der unlängst in den USA war, allerdings auf seiner Facebook-Seite behauptet. Am Freitag zitierten nun mehrere US-Medien den Trump-Sprecher Jason Miller, der als künftiger Kommunikationsdirektor des Weißen Hauses nominiert ist, mit den Worten, es habe "falsche Berichte" (fake news) darüber gegeben, dass sich Flynn mit einem österreichischen Politiker getroffen habe.

Tracking the flow of quantum information
If objects in motion are like rainwater flowing through a gutter and landing in a puddle, then quantum objects in motion are like rainwater that might end up in a bunch of puddles, all at once. Figuring out where quantum objects actually go has frustrated scientists for years. Now a Yale-led group of researchers has derived a formula for understanding where quantum objects land when they are transmitted. It’s a development that offers insight for controlling open quantum systems in a variety of situations.

The Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Board Game, Inspired by Hunter S. Thompson’s Rollicking Novel
There was a time, fair children of the late 20th century, when every movie and television show had itself a board game. Most were bad. But we bought them, and then tried our best to make it work. You can see a collection here. Few ever recreated the spirit of the original work, but instead coasted by on a cynic’s heart hoping to harvest your pop culture memories.

Apollo 8: The (second) greatest Christmas story ever told
Sometimes it can be easy to get so immersed in the detail of spaceflight, the documentation, the politics and the technical minutiae, that we lose sight of the very real emotional connection that our achievements can have. Occasionally when things come together just right, for a brief moment we can all pull together and feel a collective human wonder at events we see unfolding. I suspect many of us have our own ‘special mission’, indeed one of the great pleasures of meeting fellow space enthusiasts is to swap stories of these pivotal moments, the wonder they gave us and the lasting glow that keeps us wanting to learn more. Increasingly these may be missions we only learn about decades after their completion – we come new to these experiences, yet they can affect us just as they affected the generation that witnessed them first-hand. For me there will always be a special place in my heart for Apollo 8.

2016: The Year the Media Broke
Rupert Murdoch’s bid for a full takeover of Sky TV demonstrates graphically that the extreme concentration of media ownership has not yet run its course. It also yet again underlines the extent to which the Leveson Inquiry was barking entirely up the wrong tree. There is no question to which the correct answer is increased government control over free speech. Any inquiry into the media should look first and foremost at its highly concentrated ownership and how to instil more pluralism. It is probably now too late to expect that a vibrant, diverse traditional media is achievable. We can however be cheered by the continuing decline of the political influence of the mainstream media, as illustrated by its “Fake News” panic. Even five years ago, if the mainstream media carried a meme that was fundamentally untrue, the chances of persuading public opinion of its untruth were almost minimal. Similarly if they wished to ignore an inconvenient truth, it would be very hard indeed to get it out to a significant number.
