The book "bourgeois coldness" by Henrike Kohpeiß. The cover is marroon and the text is red and white.
I saw this referenced in a talk last week and bought it instantly for the title alone.

It'd make you nostalgic for the understated dignity and grace of Sepp Blatter though.

oh not for any profound reason - i just associate his writing with a strand of english left-liberal environmental crusading that I find kind of insufferable.

RTÉ to boycott Eurovision Song Contest over Israel
Ireland will not participate in next year's Eurovision Song Contest, and it will not be broadcast by RTÉ, after the European Broadcasting Union confirmed today that Israel will be allowed to take part...
Good! "Ireland’s participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza... RTÉ remains deeply concerned by the targeted killing of journalists in Gaza during the conflict and the continued denial of access to international journalists." www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

whenever my 3yo refers to a kid from the nursery who she considers a baby (basically any child < about 18 months) she very formally prefaces their name with the title, 'Baby' - Baby Michael, Baby Aoife etc - like they're members of a tiny religious order

Is ChatGPT Conscious?
Many users feel they’re talking to a real person. Scientists say it’s time to consider whether they’re onto something.
It feels like the more important issue here is not the (stupid) question itself, but instead the fantasy of the machine that is both pliant and conscious, and what sort of collective wish that fantasy might index.
