Get it wherever fine books are sold. Or probably the only cool indie book store in your city.

Every time the police here seize a bunch of drugs and post about it on Facebook, there is always the comment “Is this item still available?” and I think that’s great

Several businesses in Germany have hiring posters that say "we're looking for you." In German that phrase is "wir suchen dich," which could be mistaken for an English phrase with a somewhat different meaning.

Donald Trump interrupted national tv today to promise a million people (with guns!) two billion dollars he doesn’t have on a timeline he cannot meet to buy Christmas gifts he has personally fought to make less affordable
he doesn’t and the most likely outcome of this is that it doesn’t happen
How does the president have independent authority to mail out Christmas bonuses?

Me, a sophisticate: “Wien” is the name of Vienna in the local dialect. The W sound in German is V in English. The -er ending in German is frequently associated with “of” or “from”. This is Viennese nougat.

Socialism really isn't about throwing taxpayer money at problems. It's about *recovering* the hoards of money stolen by the rich (think Smaug) from workers and putting it to use *for* workers and other ordinary people. Much cheaper than having billionaires if done right.

Also, you’re gonna get some packages at that door. Plural. Every day. They’re not yours, so don’t ask. Just do whatever it is that brings YOU joy and let them packages be between your woman, the delivery man, and God.

Dude selling memorabilia at the Tallinn flea market had matchboxes with Hitler, Putin, Trump, and ABBA featured on individual boxes. Not sure if it was due to admiration or disgust and I’m fairly certain I didn’t want to know.

December 7, 43 BCE: Death of Cicero. Antony ordered his hand(s) and head to be placed on display on the Rostra in the Forum, according to Plutarch (Cic. 49). penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Rom... The people shuddered because they saw “not the face of Cicero, but an image of the soul of Antony.”
Plutarch • Life of Cicero
An English translation. All of Plutarch's Lives are onsite; in turn part of a very large site on classical Antiquity.

The worst part of this isn’t even the bigoted old man going on an appalling rant, it’s the crowd of supposed leaders standing frozen behind him. At some point it is your solemn duty to whatever you believe to be good, holy, and decent to announce “This is horrific and wrong,” and walk out.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

the actual suicide of the West will be combining a rapidly aging population with hostility to migrants. however we must give credit to East Asia, especially Japan, for pioneering this model.
