Trump IS a mob boss. This is the worst of all worlds. Whether Venezuelans themselves will go along with his scheme remains to be seen. I somehow doubt it, meaning this is going to turn ugly very fast, while Russia and China laugh at American hubris.

A lifetime of hearing US politicians solemnly intone about the glories of the constitution and the sacredness of law. Now they don’t even have the post 9/11 fig leaf. The whole vast military machinery is the plaything of a senile old man and his corrupt circle and most of them don’t care

Just a little something for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to read when they sweep my social media if I mistakenly get on a plane to the States…

Struggling to understand what all this means? Maybe you relied too often on (inaccurate &/or biased)
#AI
summaries, rather than using your little grey cells. I could draw a picture of it for you, if you'd like, but, to make up for all the graphic work I've lost to AI, my fee went up.

Miriam Frey's The Building Inspector is a gem. The boorish inspector leads us in and out of rented flats in a decaying block, oblivious to the quiet suffering of the tenants he intrudes on. But as it says on the back: 'His unsettling visits are nothing compared to what happens after he's left'.

I mean, literally demolishing part of the White House to build some kind of Russian Imperial kitsch wedding venue? 2016 us would have said too on the nose

It’s true. We are publishing a mini-collection by this talented writer. Normally we publish stories singly, in pairs. If that makes sense. Something made us break that pattern.

Just saw this in the November issue of the NZZ‘s Folio magazine. The guy‘s a TV comedian (don‘t know his work, really, so can‘t say if he‘s any good), but his taste is impeccable.

Microsoft Word once again hilariously trying to sabotage my translations by insisting that "resit the exam" should be "resist the exam" (tbf, the students who are supposed to read the finished product probably wouldn‘t mind if I went with 'resist' 😅).

All these apps asking "What do you want to do?" and me, shouting at the screen, "None of your effing business!" Modern software is clearly not being developed with people like me in mind…
