Death by Shakespeare Causes of 74 deaths in Shakespeare's plays #ShakespeareDay

All the worst cunts in the world - from journalism to politics, the Kermlin to the White House - are suffering tonight.

The unbearable lightness of being. 'Not commenting', om vervolgens te commenten dat hij de oranje fascist steunt. Wat een schande voor de mensheid.

Distraction, digression, inaction and dead ends are pathways to intellectual breakthrough, not obstacles to it. This is often left out of the observation, which Klein cites, that the process is an essential part of the outcome. The process includes inefficiencies that expand our concept of "work."

Europe spent years debating whether the energy transition was affordable. Spain quietly answered the question: gas now sets its electricity price in only 7% of hours. Strategic autonomy doesn’t arrive via summit communiqués. It’s built in advance — in wind farms, solar parks, and grid investment

The war in Iran is giving me pre-Covid shut down vibes. It's like February 2020. Life is proceeding fairly normally, we're joking about using hand sanitizer. Everyone assumes this will just be a blip. It's really just a few pandemic-nerds that are freaking out because they know what's coming.

Brilliant. An expat im Dubai has a startling revelation, by @stephencollins.bsky.social

Not sure this is great thinking on Zelensky’s side. It’s quite obvious that US security guarantees are not worth the paper they are written on.

All Respekt fir d'Martine Deprez, déi sech, wéi et ausgesäit, géint di geballte Muecht vun der Lëtzbuerger Bourgeoisie gestallt huet, am Interessi vun de Patienten! www.tageblatt.lu/Nachrichten/...

Op wien wellen Wilmes a Prum, mat enger massiver Kampagn an de Medien RTL a Wort, wou Formfroen solle skandaliséiert ginn, Drock man? Just op d'Ministesch oder och op Patienten vum Dr Wilmes, déi emmerhin am Tageblatt zu Wuert kommen? Ech froen mech, ob dat net kontraproduktiv wärt sinn.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Personne ne regarde ailleurs - mais tout le monde comprend que les négateurs du génocide palestinien qui prétendent soutenir le soulèvement du peuple iranien sont de sordides tartufes.

Why the comic "Histoire du Luxembourg 963-2025" reveals a triple failure #histlux www.forum.lu/article/gesc...

There was a world after Auschwitz, there is now a world after Gaza and @brunomacaes.bsky.social sets out to describe its horrors.

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US This view is wrong A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

I don’t think the Rutte “daddy strategy” worked

It becomes overly clear why #MeToo was considered such a threat by powerful men and why they have done everything to mock and discredit it.

Die intellektuelle Dürftigkeit des Kulturstaatsministers Weimer erkennt man daran, dass er den #Kolonialismus u.a. darum aus dem Gedenkstättenkonzept streicht, weil er nicht "auf deutschem Boden stattgefunden hat". Dieser Logik zufolge müsste man auch den #Holocaust herausnehmen. 1/

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand. Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

It's a remarkable trajectory, since Paris in 2015, but especially since Copenhagen in 2009. The US and increasingly Europe have washed their hands of a catastrophe of their own making. And the Rest is solving it for themselves with investment and tech from China.

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.

Dem ADR-Nationalismus ass d'Wuel vum Land egal: Den LU Schoulsystem, wéi en ass a war, ass eng Gefor fir d'Land, well en inlännesch Aarbechtskraaft net ideal forméiert - am Numm vum Provënzielitismus. En ze reforméieren, stäerkt d'Land a mëscht et méi onofhängeg vun externer Aarbechtskraaft

The West is going to suffer terrible consequences from Israel's genocide. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When the Luxembourg pro-genocide faction is more extreme than D. Trump, you need to start asking questions about real motives. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

De Framing vun deem Incident ass dach relativ erschreckend. D'Kand gëtt als "Israeli crybaby" vernannt, net als "Jewish crybaby". Ass dat also Antisemitimus? Wuel nëmmen, wann ee keen Ënnerscheed méi tëscht Israelien a Judde mecht. Vläicht hunn di aner Kanner deen och 1/2 www.wort.lu/luxemburg/st...

Lees deze column! Hartverscheurend! 💔

This is maybe the best statement a politician has made on this horrific anniversary.

Alarmistesche Kommentar mam Tenor: déi béis Francophonie kënnt. Wat mat kengem Wuert ernimmt gett: dat stuert Festhalen um ale System, deen extrem diskriminéierend ass, klappt net méi, well d'Zusammesetzung vun der Populatioun ännert an Auslänner net just subaltern sinn. www.wort.lu/politik/wie-...

Conflating Jews with Zionism (what people protest against) is not only anti-Semitic even according to IHRA, but is probably what went through the head of the attacker from Manchester as he stabbed Jews to death on Som Kippur. Congratulations Keir Starmer for the dumbest tweet.

Call this what is it: colonialism on the back of genocide (something the "collective West" has been familiar with for centuries). Giving the chair to the absolutely horrible T. Blair is only logical. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Glad to know IDF does everything in its power to avoid casualities among Hamas fighters. Most moral army indeed. Oh wait… www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

"Only about one-third of American Jews support Israel’s military operation in Gaza, according to a new survey by the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Rochester." www.ynetnews.com/article/bk9a...

"Antisemitismus ist damit einmal mehr das Hammerargument, wenn nichts mehr geht. [...] Es fällt schwer, dieses gezielte Vorgehen gegen die Zivilbevölkerung nicht in eine Kategorie wie „Völkermord“ zu fassen."

Silhouetted remains of the High Court Banksy creating a curiously medieval quality...as if depicting Thomas a Becket being attacked in the crypt 'It is dangerous for men in power, if no-one dares to tell them when they go wrong' Thomas A Becket 1118-1170

Absolutely shameful hagiographies of Charlie Kirk by “liberals” like Ezra Klein and Gavin Newson. It’s like Fortuyn all over again. It is perfectly possible to oppose the killing of people you vehemently and wholeheartedly disagree with.

@franzfayot.bsky.social "The first of these two questions relates to the well-established rule, one of the cornerstones of the law of State responsibility, that the conduct of any State organ is to be considered an act of the State under international law, and therefore gives rise to the

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

👏👏👏

My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.

Es läuft immer nach dem gleichen Schema: 1 Sie töten Zivilisten 2 Sie leugnen es oder behaupten, alle waren Hamas 3 Sie behaupten, sie hätten sich selbst getötet 4 Wenn die Beweislast zu groß wird, behaupten sie, es war ein Missgeschick 5 Deutsche Tastaturexpterten verbreiten ihre Propaganda *

The head of the Italian Bishops' Conference led a prayer vigil on the eve of the Feast of the Assumption where he read the name of every child who has died in the conflict between Israel and Hamas since the start of the war in the Holy Land two years ago. www.ncronline.org/news/cardina...
