Spending the reading, writing or editing skills I have spent a lifetime building with blood, sweat, and tears on ChatGPT-generated verbiage that is not properly marked as such truly is the Sisyphean punishment we humanists of late capitalism deserve. After all, we failed at preventing this disaster.

I want to tell all students of the so-called 'rip-off degrees' named below that your critical thinking is important and makes valid contributions to culture and society

Without your skills, we wouldn't be able to unpack toxic discourses and do something about them

This makes me so angry. These people view all life as training for lifelong servitude/work. There's no room for interest, enjoyment, and culture in their bleak vision of education. At least she'll never be in power to see it through. Though Reform are probably worse.

Badenoch: Curb students taking "rip-off" degrees such as English. The performing arts, sociology and anthropology are among the subjects the Conservatives would like to cut

The Verwurstung of books.

In 1974, the artist Dieter Roth experimented with the materiality of books - and made, among other "literature sausages", Hegel's complete work to 20 sausages using traditional sausage recipes, replacing the sausage's meat with book paper.

It is important to keep in mind that currently the Trump administration is weak. They only try to look tough.

They are a schoolyard bully who throws their weight around until a teacher grabs them by the ear and marches them to the headmasters office.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Haha. If they reproduce my results, they’re plagiarising.

I try to shield from graphic footage, as I know it is likely to affect me deeply.

Just saw ICE agents shooting a pastor in the head with a pepper ball. From a roof. Well outside any physical danger for the agents.

Yes, ‘less than lethal’.
Yes, a disgrace.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Deutsche Linke werfen 2025 das Gedenken an jüdische Widerstandsgruppe im Nationalsozialismus auf den Müll. Wegen "zionisistischer Ausrichtung" der Gruppe.

Ich mag nur noch kotzen.

Weddinger Hauskooperative seit 1980
Küfa in der Groni 50 am Montag, 06.10.2025 entfällt
Die für heute Abend geplante Veranstaltung hat innerhalb der Groni 50 zu verschiedenen Diskussionen geführt, vor allem bezüglich der zionistischen Ausrichtung der jüdischen Widerstandsgruppe, die sich hier im Haus während der Nazizeit versteckt und organisiert hat. Wir haben als Hausgemeinschaft beschlossen, dass wir dieses Thema an einem anderen Datum und mit mehr Vorbereitungszeit öffentlich diskutieren wollen. Heute zeigen wir uns solidarisch mit dem Streik für Palästina, und die Küfa entfällt.
