Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song is a breathless novel that's perhaps now even more chilling to read than in the fall of 2023, when I visited Dublin and picked up this copy. Everyday feels like one of our Western democracies is inching closer to closer to the Prophet Song's reality. #booksky
Prophet Song and our Democracies’ Event Horizon

das absurdeste an der ganzen colbert-sache ist, dass er im vergleich zu seth meyers und john oliver geradezu gemäßigt ist. und selbst das war zu viel. alles nur weil die paramount-besitzerin das ding an den sohn von larry ellison verkaufen will. alles opfern für noch mehr milliarden.

"Hoffentlich siehst du dir die Zeitungen nicht zu genau an, was für eine dumme und niederträchtige Welt das heute ist. Ich sehe sie mir nur noch Sonntags an, und schon das bringt mich um die Möglichkeit, mich wirklich auszuruhen."

Norbert Röttgen trifft sich laut eigener Aussage „seit Jahren“ mit Vertretern der Heritage Foundation - der Organisation, die den Angriff auf die US-Demokratie, der gerade läuft, federführend vorbereitet hat.
Norbert Röttgen: In Vorbereitung auf eine zweite Amtszeit Donald Trumps treffe ich seit Jahren den Think Tank Heritage Foundation regelmäßig. Dort ist man am nächsten an Trump & den Republikanern dran.
Gestern haben wir über Freihandel & die Notwendigkeit einer entschlossenen Politik gegenüber Russland gesprochen.
