The Best of Neon 2025: An Umlaut and an Eszett.

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

@golod.bsky.social Die Vernichtung des Zettelkatalogs der Berliner Staatsbibliothek droht: Nicht nur als Historiker bin ich überrascht und entsetzt wie man überhaupt auf eine solche Idee kommen kann. Das wäre eine kulturhistorisch nicht wiedergutmachende Zerstörung. (FAZ 19.8.25)
