This is a sacrilege.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Lawyers recharge on weekends like old phones. They’re “resting” for two days, still only get to 62%, and then suddenly it’s Monday again.

I love America. That one 👇

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT (who left us 19yrs ago today) was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

Architect Norman Foster staring astonishingly at the problem he created.

Schlecht: Bayern versucht seit über 20 Jahren das Grundbuch zu digitalisieren. Gut: Sie haben eine News-Seite, auf der sie seit über 20 Jahren ihr Scheitern dokumentieren.

If you hate Pope Leo because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

@FT So it‘s true

Trump officials deny threatening Church over Pope Leo’s criticisms ft.trib.al/7ZDDK8G

Donald Trump will be the first United States President to be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity.

BREAKING: Trump Says "A whole civilization will die tonight". This is literally a genocide. What the f-ck is wrong with him? I warned you all about this man.

Von Putin lernen. Ein Szenario von Trump, das @TimothyDSnyder voraussieht, um es zu unterbinden. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-cou…

A longer version of this argument with more historical detail is on my substack under the title “The Next Coup Attempt.” (17/17) snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-cou…

Provocation is not a complex form of politics. Let’s not imagine Trump is not smart enough to have thought of this. He is. And exploiting a wartime incident to try to seize total power is normal tyrannical behavior. It’s on us not to dodge that historical fact. (3/17)

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

@sbuehler The strength was earned from struggle

Das Urteil sei "eine kleine zusätzliche Motivation", denn es zeige: "Satire tut weh, meine Arbeit wirkt", so der Wagenbauer Jacques Tilly, nachdem er von einem russischen Gericht in Abwesenheit zu acht Jahren und sechs Monaten Haft verurteilt wurde.

Ein Moskauer Gericht hat den Düsseldorfer Wagenbauer und Satiriker Jacques Tilly zu acht Jahren und sechs Monaten Haft sowie zu einer Geldstrafe verurteilt. Angeklagt war er wegen seiner satirischen Karnevalswagen, auf denen er auch Putin abbildete. www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/rh…

BOMBSHELL: Trump accidentally says the quiet part out loud. He admits the only reason the US is in the Middle East is to steal resources. He openly declares he wants to just "take their oil" from Iran, exactly like he claims they did in Venezuela. Pure imperialism!
