it time for a thread of books I have read this year

...starting with Joyce's Ulysses. Outstanding, difficult, disorienting, impossible, inventive, too clever for its own good and funny as hell. This is an absolute must read for anyone who loves great literature.

Er ist sehr gut. Apokalyptische comedy aber viel mehr. Béla Tarr hat auch einige der Bücher verfilmt, was bei diesem Regenwetter auch ganz gut passt.

A lot of dunking going on, but this sort of framing is an egregious failure and its propagation from people with a soapbox is a *problem*

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Better headline: "Extremely Stupid People are Angry at Pope for Being Catholic".

Pope Leo letting folks know he's not going to be played..my latest for @msnbc.com

Opinion | Conservatives are angry at Pope Leo for sharing Catholic thinking

The pope’s statement calling out the inhumane treatment of immigrants by the United States predictably infuriated conservatives and prompted a response by the White House.

Ich bin fassungslos und zittere noch am ganzen Körper. Ich wollte nur im Regio von Jena nach Berlin fahren. Plötzlich stiegen zwei dutzen Hegelianer ein und schlugen alles kurz und klein als sie bemerkten, dass ich in Schellings Philosophie der Offenbarung gelesen habe.
