Dig up your book proposals! At Brill, we're launching a book series on Bodies & Abilities, asking what bodies can and can't do, what counts as an ability, and whose abilities count. I am excited to serve as series editor with a stellar editorial board! brill.com/page/boab

“Timmermans reageert met een concreet programmapunt: de overheid moet meer geld vrijmaken voor het verschraalde openbaar vervoer in de buitengebieden. Het komt hem op een tegenwerping te staan die typerend is voor waar talkshows het doorgaans niet over willen hebben: de inhoud.”

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

cities with syndromes named after them:

• paris (disappointment)
• florence (becoming over-awed)
• jerusalem (religious fervour)
• stockholm (allegiance with captors, now discredited)

if your city had a syndrome, what would its effects be?

leeds syndrome: just going absolutely fucking feral

Ik ga even mijn hand in 't vuur steken voor de EO. Want dit is best geniaal. Het gaat hier over antifa. Ze gaan niet mee in t frame dat antifa een terroristische beweging is maar dat 't alleen 'je uitspreken tegen fascisme' is, waar ze gelijk in hebben.

“Cataclysmically bad”

This new series of ECR blog posts on the French History Network makes for grim reading, perhaps grimmer even than some in UK #FrenchHistory might have realised.

1st post, anon ECRs in French History on what it’s like right now out there:

Even over Vandaag Inside.

We hebben deze week iets te veel getetter vanaf deze talkshowtafel gehoord. Getetter dat groepen Nederlanders wegzet als tuig.

Media en politiek hebben de taak om haat te bestrijden met nuance en medemenselijkheid. Ook talkshowtafels.

I remind readers of my plot of pay at the University of #Edinburgh in real terms, and of the blog post showing how I calculated the results: blogs.ed.ac.uk/hughpumphrey... (and its linked predecessors)
Plot showing pay at a UK university (Edinburgh) in real terms (by CPI/RPI/CPIH and by UK average weekly pay, all as a percentage of how it was in 2008. All the lines go downwards from about 2010 onwards.

In de Berlijnse bus hebben ze daar precies een redelijk agressieve boodschap voor die zegt dat t in je oor moet en niet over de luidspreker.

📢📢📢 Upcoming Conference: 'Rethinking Weimar Cinema' (University of Oxford, 17 - 19 June 2026)

Full Call for Papers: drive.google.com/file/d/1pxBI...

Deadline: 31 October 2025

Please share widely with anyone who may be interested in joining us in Oxford next year!
Call for Papers: Rethinking Weimar Cinema (University of Oxford, 17 - 19 June 2026) Keynote Speakers: Dr Paul Dobryden (University of Virginia) Dr Sara F. Hall (University of Illinois Chicago) Dr Qinna Shen (Bryn Mawr College) Film Screenings: TBC, in collaboration with the Ultimate Picture Palace and Weimar 100 Organizers: Dr Lawrence Alexander (Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford) and Dr Molly Harrabin (University of St. Andrews/University of Warwick). Deadline for submitting proposals: 31 October 2025 The centennial years of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) have seen a rise in academic engagement with and public interest in this period of German film history. As one of the most dynamic and experimental periods in global cinema, Weimar film has long been recognized for its aesthetic innovations, sociopolitical commentary, and influence on subsequent film movements. Yet these anniversary commemorations have not only reaffirmed the significance of this era, they have also opened the door for new questions, perspectives, and critical paradigms. This conference seeks to build on this momentum by revisiting Weimar cinema through fresh critical lenses and innovative methodologies, inviting participants to reconsider its cultural, political, and aesthetic significance in light of new archival discoveries, theoretical frameworks, and interdisciplinary approaches. The conference will take stock of our current understanding of Weimar film to map where this field may be heading as well as offering new genealogies of those images, figures, and texts that have defined it thus far. In addition to traditional conference papers, we welcome contributions from archivists, practice-based researchers, and works of videographic criticism. Please submit proposals of up to 300 words to lawrence.alexander@rsa.ox.ac.uk and mlh21@st-andrews.ac.uk by 31st October 2025. Notices of acceptance will be sent out in December. A limited number of bursaries are available to contribute to travel and accommodation costs for postgraduate and early-career speakers. This event is hosted by the Weimar Film Network and funded by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) as part of a three-year Promoting German Studies networking grant awarded to the German Screen Studies Network, co-directed by Dr Paul Flaig and Dr Dora Osborne.

Tip: volg 1 seizoen Markus Lanz en Maybrit Illner, bij ZDF. (Lanz op dinsdag, woensdag en donderdag; Illner voorafgaand aan Lanz op donderdag).

Simpel format, geen publiek, geen schijtlollige filmpjes; 1 of 2 onderwerpen, niet 5. Kritische bevraging, geen politicus die wegkomt met bullshit.

Het echte probleem binnen de NPO is niet dat er vooral rechtse talkshows zijn. Dit wel:
-kijkcijferfanatisme; gebrek aan durf te confronteren en te verrassen
-onvoldoende kwaliteit en simpelheid op redacties; onvoldoende dossierkennis; pupillenvoetbal;
-ontbreken sturend journalistiek hart & visie
