Leider kein Artikel aus dem Postillon, sondern ein Bericht über den neuesten Tritt ins Fettnäpfchen des deutschen Bundeskanzlers, dem jegliches Feingefühl und diplomatisches Geschick fehlt.

Wer jemals im Ausland war, weiß, dass nicht überall wie in Deutschland gefrühstückt wird. Meine Güte.

Die putzig “Die Familienunternehmer“ benannte Lobbyvertreung der Konzerne gibt die Brandmauer auf und will zukünftig mit der AfD inhaltlich umgehen. Eine Wirtschaft, die sich nicht gegen den Faschismus stellt, ist eine Wirtschaft, die sich gegen die Gesellschaft stellt, was noch nie gut ausging.

My feed is full of either Jacobin socialists furiously getting off to a full red-brown fantasy, or panicked liberals who are fearing a red-brown nightmare. Both are wrong: Mamdani is Zelensky, trying to stay on Donnie’s good side. Trump fawning over him does not reveal some ideological horseshoe.

AI … is a crisis… History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost for many Americans, ranging from ostracism to death. Those in power recognized that oppression is best maintained by keeping the masses illiterate, and those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation.“

To “my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.”

In todays News: der Sprecher für Antisemitismusbekämpfung der CDU Berlin findet, ein respektvoller Umgang mit den Opfergruppen des Holocaust ist nur was für die "Antifa". Der Mann hat definitiv den falschen Job. & die CDU Berlin sollte bald mal erklären, wie sie sich Erinnerungskultur vorstellt.

Had a great time consulting with the “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” team over the past couple months, and they kindly gave my book a shoutout during the episode.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

It’s absurd that this post describes something that really happened today in exact detail. In America. On earth…

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.
