Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
Real Alexander the Great shite here.
I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.
From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.
„A move toward genocide is always piecemeal and it has to be supported by even the most obscure and niche professions.”

Servus 🇦🇹 Nun in der besten Tageszeitung Österreichs: Meine Seite im STANDARD über den Holz-Unternehmer KundanLal Gupta, der 1938/39 mindestens 14 Juden aus Wien vor dem #Holocaust bewahrt hat. Sein Trick: Er holte sie als Fachkräfte nach #Indien - inklusive eines Juristen, Ehefrauen & Säugling Alex.

THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH A HISTORY MAJOR
Off to see this exhibition for the second time as it is huge and needs a few visits at least. Highly recommended if you're in Vancouver.

While AI models excel at technical tasks, the job roles that use these models demand versatility and the precise meta-skills developed through liberal arts education.
It is. It's appalling to see academics push GenAI.
A Vancouver violinist who was threatened with legal action by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra after breaking a non-disclosure agreement and speaking out about an alleged sexual assault by one of its former senior musicians says she won't be "intimidated" into silence.
Nice of 2025 to remind me on its last day that it truly is a cursed year.
auch dieses juli zeh interview lasse ich ungelesen vorüberziehen wie einen tag mit garstigem wetter
Was Thomas sagt. Alles ist Politik, auch und gerade der Versuch, diese Tatsache zu bestreiten.
Mandatory quote in coverage of far right towns: “I am normal, my neighbours vote for Nazis but I am not someone who would be friends with Nazis so my neighbours are not Nazis. The foreigners are not like me and so I am indifferent to their fate compared to the hurt feelings of my neighbours.“
The cover of my forthcoming book The Crown’s Silence, out with Mariner next month!
You all, after YEARS of archival research and writing, my book is out in exactly ONE month and it’s my job to promote it. Please help me spread the word!! 😀📚#booksky
We’re just going to produce entire generations unable to write or read aren’t we
No steps! Boarding at ground level! that's modern.
Good luck with the rest of the journey!
Es ist im Übrigen völlig egal, ob die Wähler*innen der AfD sich selbst als Rechtsextremist*innen identifizieren oder nicht. Die wenigsten Wähler*innen der NSDAP sahen sich selbst als Nazis, sondern sie verrieten ihre jüdischen Nachbarn allein aus Staatsbürgerpflicht.
"In other words, they argue that Holocaust memory, which was designed to prevent the worst, is being used to motivate and justify the worst. And they feel outraged — and betrayed." Dirk Moses thediasporist.de/is-holocaust...
This Christmas Eve, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
Big AI firms have built their models by hoovering up copyrighted material from the internet as training data. They say this is legal, but copyright holders disagree - and this year they hit back in a major way
Wir sind erst seit Kurzem hier bei Bluesky und bräuchten bitte eure Unterstützung: Insta legt unseren Hauptaccount immer wieder lahm und wir würden hier gerne die verlässliche demokratische Alternative aufbauen. Könntet ihr unseren Account vielleicht weiterempfehlen? Das wäre eine Riesenhilfe 💝🌟
Walter Benjamin wrote that the work of translation is “to liberate the language imprisoned in a work" to find the “pure language” of “the unfathomable, the mysterious, the ‘poetic’”. This is all, of course, utterly anathema to AI
Still waiting for AI to cure diseases, eliminate climate change and give every animal a home. AI is basically crypto at this point. A propped up Ponzi scheme that will eventually collapse under its own weight.
I think one of the best things my university could do for my mental health is allow me to unsubscribe from end of year emails that tell what a great and wonderful 12 months that was and how jolly things are looking for the future. It's like getting newsletters from a parallel universe.
