Friends, does anyone know of a good alarm clock app that plays podcasts, alternatively radio? I’ve searched through the App Store and downloaded a few and they all turn out to be crap, so I need a recommendation that you actually have experience with. I used to use Podcast Alarm but it had an […]

One of my big pet peeves is when people say "people used to ..." and they describe something well-off or only wealthy people did in the past. "but nowadays people just..." and they describe something poor and broke people do today. We don't have as much documentation of how poor people lived in […]

Hvis jeg havde en krone for hver gang jeg havde hørt en journalist kalde noget for "vildt" som ikke er specielt vildt. Case in point: så er det altså hellere ikke vildere at Danmark taler om at indgå i et nukleart samarbejde med Frankrig […]

This book is from 1979. The accuracy with which it describes a reality still present is excruciating. (Edward Said: The Question of Palestine)

A page from The Question of Palestine by Edward Said, discussing the treatment of Arabs in Israel, including issues of torture, illegal detention, and media coverage. It references various reports and criticises the lack of acknowledgment in American media.
