As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Die Jobcenter operieren jetzt schon am Limit. Aus dem Freundeskreis weiß ich, dass Vermittlungstätigkeit kaum stattfindet und wenn, Qualifikationen und Präferenzen kaum berücksichtigt werden. Und nun sollen die Mitarbeitenden auch noch das Sanktionsregime der Bundesregierung umsetzen. Klasse.

Die Lage der Deutschen Bahn ist ernst. Und sie wäre noch ernster, würden die Mitarbeiter nicht alles geben. Doch viele können nicht mehr.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

"You will marry whoever you pick at the Royal Ball," the king told the princess.
"We'll hold another Ball," the king said. "Pick anyone of noble birth."
"We'll hold a third Ball," the king said. "Pick a man of noble birth."
"Wait," the queen said. "Maybe she doesn't even want to marry."
"What?"

Wenn Netflix Warner kauft, dann wird endgültig alles zu Content; es gibt dann keine Filme mehr, sondern nur noch Content; keine Kinos, denn Content wird nicht zelebriert; Filmtitel, Serientitel werden egal, schnell vergessen, alles ist nur noch ein Strom, am Ende wird aller Content wie Tiktok sein.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Gold octopus-shaped ornaments from Bronze Age Mycenae, Grave IV, Grave Circle A.
The curled tips of the arms create eyelets for stitching the ornaments onto a garment or shroud some 3,500 years ago.
