I’m reading it too- can you answer this probably banal and naive question?

When these East Berliners β€œescaped to the West”, surely they were just trapped in West Berlin, since it’s completely surrounded by the GDR 🀨

Absolutely not. You row with your boss, that’s one thing, but if you call him out in public too you’re basically asking for the sack

I wondered for a while why Trump was so excited by Brexit, even to the point of getting Farage to fluff him. It was simple, really: proof that, with the support of enough bent media, bad people selling bigotry & lies really could persuade people to vote to punch themselves in the face forever.

Not only do palindromes exist in French @acjimbo.bsky.social but Georges Perec wrote a 1247 word palindrome 🀯. Check out also his 300 page detective novel β€œLa Disparition” that contains no letter e in the entire work

a white sheet of paper hanging from a black clip against a blue wall. the paper is a worksheet with the words, "my dog is a..." with the instructions to circle one of the following words, "hero," "companion," or "worker." instead, the word "circle" has been circled in pencil, and the rest of the sheet reads, "because he is round" in crude handwriting. next to the explanation as to why the dog is a circle, is a drawing of a very rotund dog with a tiny tail and little feet. this is an A+ assignment if we've ever seen one.

Trump orders retaliation after Colombia sends back deportation flights President Trump says he will impose tariffs and sanctions on Colombia after it blocked US military flights carrying deported migrants.

Here we go. The start of the chaos. Immigrants treated like pollution. Ordinary consumers in US and elsewhere hammered by tariffs. Escalating rhetoric. Breakdown in international cooperation. And all of it achieving precisely nothing. Just a fucking waste of time.
