Zu Lëtzebuerg One Battle after Another kucken ze goen ass frustréirend, well d’Leit net laachen. WÉISOU. De Film ass immens witzeg. Et ass eng Satire!

I like the new #IanMcEwan book - the way it seeks how art survives/gets preserved/alters in the face of crisis and collapse. It just feels too close to home. The midterm future scenarios he lays out for us are so bleak yet very plausible. Might need to finish something different in between. 📚

Overheard at the sauna today. Two men talking. “So what did you end up seeing at the cinema yesterday?” “One Battle after Another. It was sh*t. Woke. Woke sh*t.” “Well that happens when you let your girlfriend choose the movie.”

Leit huelen et net eescht genuch wann ech soen dass si ELO DIREKT SOLLEN ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER KUCKE GOEN ELO!

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

Feel like everyone disappointed in Bill Burr missed all his weirdly misogynistic undertones over the years, but glad to see there's a ceiling on accepting him

And people disappointed in Jimmy Carr must've missed most of the career of Jimmy Carr

Felicitatiounen un den Eric Lamhene, deem säi beandrockende Film “Hors d'Haleine” an d'Oscar Preselektioun gaangen ass! De Film dréit derzou bäi, dass mir dat wichtegt Thema vun der haislecher Gewalt enttabuiséieren, an de schroen Impakt vun der Gewalt weisen. @megaluxembourg.bsky.social

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Charlie Kirk and the pundits and politicians sanitizing his legacy.

Das ist ja nur Nius. Bis es dann bald eine gaaaanz leicht abgeschwächte Mager-Variante von diesem Schmarren gibt, und Thiel, Bittner, Pfister, und schließlich Feddersen und die Jungle World sich drauf einschiessen. (1/2)

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

‘Prejudice against the disabled was still so widespread that in 1980 a Frankfurt court ordered the reimbursement of the cost of a hotel to a tourist who had been upset by the presence of a group of guests with cerebral palsy.’ Richard J. Evans on German eugenics: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Satire is dead.

"I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from “democracy” to “authoritarianism.” Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Every authoritarian regime that embraced this aesthetic inflicted violence and chaos on its society

Came across this honker in DIE ZEIT: "No doubt has so far arisen within the North American universities now being harassed by Trump whether their excessive reliance on identity politics and their endowed chairs for gender studies might not have also contributed to the rise of their attacker."

Re the detransitioning trans person who shot up the school: individual crime does not beget collective guilt, but if it did it is always worth bringing up that the great majority of mass shootings are by (cis-gender) straight white men.

My partner is a die-hard LotR fan. So I went ahead and read the books and watched the movies and it’s all very charming. Unfortunately, I take a lot of pleasure in RoP and especially in the Haladriel timeline. My partner’s devastation over this heresy cannot be overstated. #RingsofPower #LotR

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Family member said they wanted to see Young Frankenstein for the first time tonight. But it's not streaming anywhere, nor even available to rent digitally. So we got a copy at the library. God bless both libraries and physical media.

Good morning, folks. The sky says trans rights are human rights.
