Brecht and Lotte Lenya always lift me up, when Trump and his corrupt crew weigh me down.

Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem is out of a job.

So, it's back to shooting puppies for cowgirl Barbie. Let the professional TV wrestler protect the Reich and Heimat for a month or two.

We've driven the country off the road and wrapped it around a tree. An election won't fix it. A few performative laws won't help. Time for a reset, a new constitutional convention. Let the states vote whether want to stay or go.

For four years, Biden's justice department dragged its feet and let Trump avoid the consequences of openly, blatantly, publicly breaking the law repeatedly. Do democrats care more about not wanting to hurt people's feelings than about justice?

Two neighboring countries virtually identical on a superficial basis, this far apart in mentality? Wow.

Some day I'd like to visit Gerhart Hauptmann's home down there in Silesia. Now a museum. A bit remote, but doable I think.

Markets don't like Trump's chaos.

If the point of this war was regime change, why didn't Trump have a talk with the CIA (not surfer girl)? They already changed the regime there once before back in the 50s.

As a humanities major, I took a year of calculus because I felt every education needs a balance.

"As a STEM professional, I can truly say STEM without humanities only teaches people how to destroy, extract, and dominate better. Humanities are essential for ethical science practice."

My breath was taken away by this post so I had to share it - best thing I've ever seen a STEM person write about academia and the fact that it's so shocking I almost wonder if it was written by a stealth humanities person says a lot about how little we are succeeding in fully educating in STEM.

"Lout" A good one I've not heard in a while.

Sulpicia (fl. late 1st century BCE) was one of the very few known female poets of ancient Rome whose work has survived, offering a rare glimpse into the inner world of a Roman woman. Associated with the literary circle of the poet Tibullus, she wrote a small but striking body of elegiac poems expressing love, desire, and personal emotion, and the first and only known woman from that era associated with comedic writing. She was also known for openly discussing and writing poems about female sexual desire Unlike the idealized women often portrayed in Roman love poetry, Sulpicia spoke for herself—boldly and authentically—writing of her passion for a man named Cerinthus. Her poems break from convention by celebrating female agency in love, an unusual and daring subject for her time. Though only six short poems are definitively attributed to her, Sulpicia’s voice stands out for its honesty, wit, and literary skill.

I know evangelicals who think divine grace is a get out of jail free card. Karma wants to have a word with them.

Republicans may lose an election because a vast swathe of Americans hate them and Trump, hate I’ve not seen before. But hate will not carry us forward. Trump must meet justice. We need justice and help for all who suffer from this malignant administration.

I started learning German when I was 20. A bit later I read Kafka and said to myself, “Whoa. Only an angel can write with this purity.” He was such an inspiration.

True. One of his biggest mistakes.

It’s Done On Iran: looking forward, not back.

A bad means to a good end only adds more bad to the world. Republican presidents have gotten used to ignoring the constitution and starting wars on their own.

Surely this was on official act as president. Besides, they always let him do it.

I think Putin also claimed his invasion of Ukraine was a defense operation. Maybe that's where Trump got the idea when he did the first strike on Iran.

True. I would hope that Merz and Meloni both know they cannot trust Trump farther than they can through him, which is not very far.

It sounds like Germany's Merz is trying to work a "deal" with Trump: we help you guys in Iran, but you gotta help us with defending Ukraine against Putin.

As near as I can tell, there's no difference between governments in the US and Iran--thugs and religious fanatics.

They must have both worn cowboy hats in their ads.

Vertical view of interior of Solvay Library in Brussels featuring a gigantic hall in eclectic style with precious-wood décor and bookshelves, an upstairs balcony area, mosaics and coloured stained glass windows. A woman crossing the hall adds a dimension of the place. The Solvay Library, the magnificent setting of the former Institute of Sociology, was created under the impulse of Ernest Solvay and built by the architects Constant Bosmans and Henri Vandeveld. Inaugurated in 1902, the Solvay Institute of Sociology is one of the most prestigious remains of the Leopold Park. Abandoned and vandalized for several years, this listed building was restored to its former glory in 1995 after a restoration campaign led by the architects Deleuze and Metzger. After having hosted researchers from all over the world, it is now a place for private and cultural events.
