The reflection of post cold war neo-liberal honeymoon in basketball was shooting big men. With the rise of facism now every team seems to be back with big line ups. Big men like s. Adams j. V'nas, r. Gobert who can't shoot or dribble are gaining attention again. Good!

Ohne jemals in Berlin gelebt zu haben, würde man dieses Video für kreativ halten. Es ist aber einfach nur dokumentarisch... Das wird mir immer am Herzen liegen. youtu.be/m2JRghbgeYw?...

Gerichte als Ideengeschichtsschreiber. Ein wunderschöner Beitrag bei Verfassungsblog.

A sign that I'm getting older: After seeing this beautiful piece, I tried to be quiet for a minute. I found it difficult at the time. Now I can easily reach 20 minutes... youtu.be/gYbQRPxI9Z0?...

Woke up the day like Elijah Wood in the music video of ridiculous thoughts... Running away from deadlines with the support of good music. Hang in there body... www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LM4...

​Ich lese momentan ein spannendes Buch über transnationales Recht, dessen Namen ich nicht nennen möchte. Dem Hauptteil des Buchs hat der Verfasser eine Einleitung vorangestellt, in der eine Geschichte des modernen Rechts unter Bezugnahme auf verschiedene Rechtsphilosophen erzählt wird+

Ray Wise stars in Mad Men as Ken's father in law. Whenever he shows up, O should stop watching it and tell myself he is not him... That's how powerfull the twin peaks was hitting...

Barry Lyndon has been in the Kino in a 4k restored version for more than 4 weeks. Hopefully I'll watch it this week. It's gonna be 3 hours of visiul therapy.

Any concept that includes the attribute “soft,” such as “soft power” or “soft law,” always implies a feudal version of its modern counterpart.

The discussion around whether AI can possess authority in any field of knowledge remains one-sided so far the concept of authority is taken to be something that primarily depends on the power of objective knowledge. In the end it´s about if the info provided by AI is gonna be seen sufficent by users

An letzten 2 Tagen musste ich wegen unerträglicher Hitze zu Hause bleiben. Schön, dass ich ab jetzt wieder Angst vom Unwetter haben kann... So ist in Berlin der Sommer.

N65(bei BvG) ist wie ein Gesellschaftsvertrag...

Ich habe mega Lust, einen philosophischen Aufsatz zum Thema "Ersatzverkehr" zu schreiben am Beispiel BVG. Der Titel könnte so lauten "moderne Stadt als Prozess des Ersetzens"

I believe that we usually misconceptualize clear language in writing especially in academia. It does not neceserraly have something to do with clear ideas. One can have some clear ideas and still doesnt want to express them in a clear way. Communication is not the only reason of writing.

Sorry but, if making photo walks with bunch of people does not contradict the very spirit of the street photography then there is no such a thing as street photography.

Grandpa Eugene makes Sally read Gibbon's Decline and Fall lol.

There is an American way of portraying the inseparability of good and evil, which rather ends up with emphasizing the separability of them (as in Star Wars or The Matrix).

Wearing slim fit jeans in 2025 feels like you're a cowboy with a gun and other some heavy stuff on your belt riding your horse 7392020 km in sunny Texas summer.

Ich finde den Hinweis auf die Gefahr der Relativierung des Gewaltverbots sehr wichtig. Völkerrechtliche Gewaltverbot so offen auszulegen, kann dessen praktische Abschaffung heißen.

I like the idea that all these are, to some extend, about being employed/unemployed: The Odyssey Das Kapital Murphy(Beckett) Naked(Mike Leigh)

I expect a massive turn to Hobbes in the american political thought.

I see people, and even academics complaining about that Trump expresses his own thoughts instead of representing the hole executive body of the government. They dont want to believe that US. foreign policy looks that brutal when it's articulated in that way.

Whenever I'm out and about on Friedrichstraße, I can't stop myself from checking out the bestsellers at Dussman! From what I've seen today, I can say that there are three questions that everyone is interested in: How can I therapy myself? How can I get inspired? Is the whole world based on a lie?

Nothing feels better than finalising your text.

Eigentlich wollte ich ja zum Karneval der Kulturen gehen, aber berlines Wetter überrascht mal wieder nicht!

I believe that Regular Shows Party Horse episode has something to do with (West) Berlin. 1) You should pass the american history exam 2) You should make party all the time If you couldn't pass the exam you are not allowed to do though.

It seems that everyone who writes a PhD thesis has a certain book in mind as inspiration, whether structurally or contextually. In my case, it was and still is “The Normal and the Pathological” by Georges Canguilhem. What is yours?

Whenever I read about Gans in a book whose main protagonist is not him, I always read similar accounts. There are two or three sources in circulation and you barely learn something new.

Als ob "Mehrwert" nicht genug wäre.

There are historical facts that terrify us reading about them. If there will be one from today, it will definitely be about pets!

I've just started to watch Mad Men after 15 years and I'm very surprised by its potential to be read critical that I've not been aware of.

You are a photographer in the field and I come up with a camera: 8x11 CMOS, 17 MP only in JPEG, 32mm 2.8 Compact lens. No video. I ask you what year the camera was produced. What would you say? Fujifilm says 2025 and wants you to pay 800 Euros to have it. Sorry but it is beyond fraud.

Ein Kollege von mir hat einmal vorgeworfen, dass Studenten kein Interesse am römischen Recht haben. Er meinte,man müsste im Studium zumindest Corpus iuris civilis studiert haben ... Ok.

I was just wondering if H&M ever thought about changing their policy of posters after triangle of sadness. They might have to be honest.

Ich habe das ganze Buch mit großem Vergnügen gelesen. Besonders empfehlen kann ich den Beitrag von Bertram Lomfeld zum Thema Immaterialgüterrecht als reflexives Eigentumregime.

I wish I could write a social history of analytic jurisprudence...

There is a tendency in academia which I barely understand, especially in legal philosophy. They take a legal institution and argue that we have to understand it in a different, let's say more progressive way. I think I'm too conservative to see the sense of it.

Thats exactly what I've been trying to tell my friends who naively praise AI. All good things that LLM's offer in terms of academic capability are the ones that students must have after an average education.

People dont want to see that the things that you work on are soically relevant. All they want to see is that you give your best to convince them that they really matter.
