you don't have to read "difficult" things if you don't want to. you'd understand that if you read more old books.

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

Der SWR lässt in seiner Berichterstattung leider aus, warum Naidoo vor Ort war. Er lässt aus, dass rechte Organisationen sich an eine Veranstaltung gehängt haben, in der Frauen, die als Kinder sex. Gewalt erlebt haben, für ihre Rechte demonstrieren. Dass diese Veranstaltung benutzt wurde,

Der Höhepunkt der Berliner Republik war eigentlich erreicht, als Justizministerin Herta Däubler-Gmelin 2002 zurücktreten musste weil sie George W. Bush angeblich mit Hitler verglichen hatte, und ihre Verteidigung war "seit Adolf Nazi" sei in Deutschland eine gängige Zeitangabe

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

in 2023 when I was organizing parents against our archbishop’s transphobic new school guidelines, one dad asked how loud I thought it was prudent for us to be, given how punitive the Archbishop is. I was like “loud enough that all the trans/nb kids at your parish see it” and he was like “…. oh”

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Ich fragte, nicht weil ich mir wünsche, wir wären eingeladen (Kelch, vorüber usw), sondern weil die Richterin eine Liste von Absagen vorgetragen hat, um zu zeigen, dass es bemüht wurde, "ein möglichst vollständigen Bereich auszufüllen, damit wirklich alle Argumente ... vorgetragen werden können"

Herr Rau scheint ja auch irgenwie auf dem schmalen Brett, die Absage führender AfD-Kader und von rechtsradikalen Kultur-Stars wie Ellen Kositza sei ein Zeichen für die aufklärerische Kraft dieses Theaters. Aber warum sollen Leute mit der Reichweite ihre Zeit im Thalia mit Luschen vertrödeln?

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

Despite everything, I did some great reading last year, most of it was by Elizabeth Taylor. (Not included, The Soul of Kindness which I read on Kindle)

Wenn der Außenminister im „Bericht aus Berlin“ sagt, dass die Rede von Rubio verbindend gewesen sei und insbesondere den kulturellen Aspekt betont habe, dann meint er damit White Supremacy.

Was für schreckliche Zeiten uns bevorstehen.
Marco Rubio spricht von einem europäischen „Schuldkult“, fordert die Abkehr davon, und alle europäischen Spitzenpolitiker und Eliten stehen auf und applaudieren.

Europäische Rechte und Rechtsextreme können ihr Glück kaum fassen.

Heated Rivalry shows us that the most transportive, visionary, speculative future isn’t one that looks different from our reality. It’s one that feels different. It’s a difference that we as the audience can feel as if we’ve already lived in that world too.
