Erstens wünsche ich allen Deutschen alles Gute zum Tag der Deutschen Einheit. Auf X habe ich dazu etwas aus meinem Archiv geteilt. Zweitens können deutsche Staatsopern, die aus Naivität sich die Ottomanen zurückwünschen, so laut spielen wie sie wollen. Es juckt die Toten nicht.

While independent economists have found out that there is enough money and that the problem is its distribution, politicians and politically minded people still try to push the lie that there is no money and that there are so-called household deficits.

The Blues Novel: Aesthetic, History, Survival
What follows is an abstract on, not an attempt to define, what I think is the most vital fusion of African American musical, cultural, and narrative traditions in American literary history.

This week, 350,000 Haitians in the US will lose their legal status in light of the Supreme Court's decision allowing the Trump administration to gut the Temporary Protected Status program. No other state will feel the repercussions more than Florida, where half of the 350,000 in the US now live.
