Creating hybrid institutions that are strategically crucial to state capacity without any of the oversight structures of a civil service yet are expected to be run as businesses with sub-standard management frameworks that are 30 years out of date is a bad idea, actually.

Auch voll interessant zu lernen, wie die Vorzensur-Prozesse beim ZDF laufen. Anders kann man ja einen Prozess, in dem eine Satire-Sendung ihr Material anscheinend Wochen vorher der obersten Schriftleitung vorlegen muss, damit die entscheiden kann, ob das nun vielleicht doch zu links ist.

There’s a big push to blame teen mental health issues on smartphones but this story made me wonder about exploring other things that have since become normalized. Should we expect kids who grew up post-Columbine on regular school shootings and active shooter drills to have great mental health?

Frage an die gesammelte, geisteswissenschaftliche Schwarmintelligenz: Was macht für euch einen guten Vortrag zur Verteidigung einer Dissertation aus? Die meisten Ratgeber beschränken sich de facto auf Empfehlung, 'die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Arbeit zusammenzufassen'.

I’m also fairly sure Klein didn’t write anything like this after the assassination of multiple Dem politicians in Minnesota. I’m not saying this as a gotcha, but rather the show the implicit assumption of our discourse, which is that Right Wing violence is to be expected, and thus tacitly accepted.

Fred Astaire should be an unlockable character in Tony Hawk

News of the pratfall leaked. “Fred Astaire, aged 77, has broken his wrist by falling from a skateboard,” announced The Associated Press in a world news bulletin. Three days later a spokesman for Golden Films, Astaire’s company, issued their own update. “It was a clean break but his wrist will be in a cast for six weeks. We wanted to have a picture taken with the cast but he is a little shy about the accident,” a spokesman told California local newspaper The Daily Review.

Although he was embarrassed about the accident, Astaire noted drolly that some of his actor friends had cautioned him about the dangers of doing skateboarding tricks at such an advanced age. “Gene Kelly warned me not to be a damned fool, but I'd seen the things those kids got up to on television doing all sorts of tricks,” said Astaire. “What a routine I could have worked up for a film sequence if they had existed a few years ago. Anyway I was practicing in my driveway and fell off.”

A great read on UChicago, arguing we’re seeing the result of decades of mismanagement: “The university’s trustees and leaders view it preeminently as a tax-free technology incubator, and its debt load is so great that it is abandoning ideals it once held dear in order to sustain that goal.”

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt. journalists too...

a post from itch saying “I don't see any indexing restrictions on your game. Your game does have a content warning because of this setting on your page though (check the "Metadata" tab). It's possible at some point you could have added a tag to your page that is commonly associated with explicit adult content.”
