This stuff is so tiresome. In a world where hard skills like coding are getting replaced faster than they can be taught, it’s the soft skills that arts degrees teach you that remain valuable.

Brexit didn’t kill the EU as many Tories hoped, but the populist forces Brexit unleashed in UK politics sure like they’re about to finish off the Tories. The irony.

The US is on a collision course for a constitutional crisis, as Trump attempts to federalize members of red states and send them to invade blue states against the will of the governors in blue states such as Illinois and California.👇

I‘ve been doing some thinking about why there’s is still a stunning hesitancy when it comes to using “fascism/fascisization” as a category for describing what is going on in the US right now. Imho it’s important to distinguish between two factions. /1

Die Free Planets Alliance hat einfach die hässlichsten Uniformen ever. Die sehen im HD Remake noch beschissener aus als im Original. Da waren die wenigstens noch Oliv statt Blau.

Legend of Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These. Wir gehen rein. Das OVA Original aus den 1980ern ist epische Space Opera vom feinsten. Das Remake folgt der Story im Großen und Ganzen, aber besticht vor allem durch das optische Makeover und die flüssigere Animation.
