New Past Lives: Around 600 CE, a man died and was buried near the city of Verona in northern Italy. He had led an interesting life, including a migration from present-day Hungary. Most intriguing of all, his right hand had been amputated and replaced with a knife prosthesis. pod.link/1852618120/e...

Jeder anständige Mensch würde sich jetzt erst bei den Buchhandlungen für den entstandenen Schaden entschuldigen - und dann zurücktreten. Weimer ist kein anständiger Mensch. Darum wird er im Amt bleiben und seine Lügen wiederholen. Hoffentlich verklagt ihn jemand. www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...

Buchhandlungspreis: Wegen dieser Sätze schaltete Weimer den Verfassungsschutz ein
Dokumente zeigen, dass vage Anhaltspunkte Kulturstaatsminister Weimer genügten, um im Falle des Buchhandlungspreises den Verfassungsschutz einzuschalten.

Recherchen zeigen nun nämlich, dass das Gegenteil der Fall war. So urteilten die Beamten in einer Vorlage für die Hausleitung: "Es wird empfohlen, dem Votum der Jury zu folgen... Alle empfohlenen Buchhandlungen erfüllen die Teilnahmebedingungen für eine Auszeichnung." Na das ist ja überraschend.

Wisst ihr noch wie Wolfram Weimer im Frühjahr drei Buchhandlungen von einem Preis ausschloss? Er begründete das damals damit, dass "unsere Fachbeamten, die sich in der Buchhandlungsszene sehr gut auskennen, ... in drei Fällen grundsätzliche Zweifel an der Preiswürdigkeit" hatten. Well, war gelogen.

It’s important that Google Earth/Maps has done this, but worth noting that so far the updated 2026 imagery is only of southern Gaza—the imagery of northern Gaza is still from before the final destruction of spring-fall 2025, giving the impression that large areas of Gaza City and Jabaliya are…

A feature of post-war German democracy has been that the left has traditionally had far more of a firewall to the far left than the center right has had with the far right. The central role of anti-communism in Cold War West Germany created a structural asymmetry that has not been reckoned with.

If we cut off military aid to israel, israel would conjure up Mk84 2000lb bombs from a Stargate dimensional portal and continue to drop them. Because Israel has access to psionic dimensional mages, we must sell them regular bombs made in Garland, Texas instead

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.
A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".
