Recommended reading: Rudolph Herzog's book about humor — what jokes were allowed, what jokes weren't, what jokes could get you imprisoned, what jokes could get you shot — during the Third Reich. It's sobering reading right now, as Trump attacks comedians, late night talk show hosts, and actors.

Hey scumbags, Jews in Manchester have fuck all to do with Palestine or Israel. Commenting beneath news stories about dead British Jews with 'what about Palestinians?' is just fucking antisemitic bullshit. If you think Jews are your enemy, you are the enemy.

Jews are not Israel.

WAPO: “.. the capital expenditures made by a small number of companies are now contributing more to GDP than the spending of all of America’s consumers.”

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

Benn Steil considers how the political historian Carl Schmitt, who rose to prominence in the German Weimar Republic of the 1920s, would view the United States’ turn toward authoritarianism:

Fun piece from @rossandersen.bsky.social about the "Hubble tension"--the problem that different methods for measuring the expansion of the universe give apparently incompatible results, which is leading some researchers to believe that something is drastically wrong with standard cosmological ideas.

These Sora videos feel like a more capable version those “Elf Yourself” videos from a decade ago. Except this time, any silliness is overcome with a nagging sense of dread.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

On this day in 1970, Charles Schulz replied to a 10-year-old kid who had written and asked, “What makes a good citizen?"

Werden wir wissenschaftlich abgehängt? Ein Kommentar von Prof. Ulrike Diebold, Vizepräsidentin der österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Lesenswert!

Carl Schmitt: Der Inbegriff des Politischen ist die Unterscheidung zwischen Freund und Feind, und nur wer über den Ausnahmezustand entscheidet, ist souverän. Man kann eine direkte intellektuelle Linie ziehend zwischen der politischen Theorie Schmitts und dem aufkommenden Autoritarismus in den USA.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

American officials may have imagined that the images that came out of the Vietnam War would be heroic. Of course, the opposite was the case.
