Family member said they wanted to see Young Frankenstein for the first time tonight. But it's not streaming anywhere, nor even available to rent digitally. So we got a copy at the library. God bless both libraries and physical media.

There are pink and blue bands in the morning sky. And clouds!

Good morning, folks. The sky says trans rights are human rights.

80 Years After Hiroshima Bombing, Art Needs ‘Courage to Be Afraid’ Eighty years after the city’s destruction, we seem to be blundering into a new age of nuclear perils. It is time for culture to rediscover “the courage to be afraid.”

‘Anders came to conclude, in books such as “Hiroshima Is Everywhere,” that modern man had fallen into “a Promethean gap”: a chasm, grown wider by the year, between what our technologies can do and what we think they can do.’

Famine à Gaza : qui stoppera Nétanyhaou ? Entre tirs sur les civils affamés et distribution d’aide erratique, le Premier ministre israélien pousse sa vengeance à l’extrême. Seule une mobilisation massive des sociétés civiles dans le monde pourrait faire bouger les lignes.

Entre tirs sur les civils affamés et distribution d’aide erratique, Nétanyhaou pousse sa vengeance à l’extrême. Face à cet «abîme moral», des voix s’élèvent, mais trop peu nombreuses.

L'édito dans Libération ce jeudi :

CBS will end 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' next year Colbert confirmed the cancellation during a show taping on Thursday. CBS said the move was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night."

Das ist so unfassbar räudig und beängstigend.

„Jagd auf Regenbogenfahnen“: Bundestagsabgeordnete müssen Flaggen in ihren Büros abhängen – Verwaltung spricht von „Routinevorgang“ Mit Verweis auf die Hausordnung fordert die Bundestagsverwaltung Abgeordnete dazu auf, Regenbogenflaggen aus ihren Büros zu entfernen. Die Betroffenen sind empört.

Liebe Jurist*innen, wo genau findet sich eigentlich dieses "Neutralitätsgebot", auf dessen Basis Julia Klöckner die Bundestagspolizei nach Regenbogenfahnen fahnden lässt?

Measles Cases Hit Record High Since U.S. Eliminated Disease Experts worry that if vaccination rates do not improve, deadly outbreaks will become the new normal.

Breaking News: Measles cases have hit a record high this year surpassing any other since the contagious virus was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000.

Women's rights face 'full-on assault' due to UN and aid funding cuts Four major international reports on women's rights, including recommendations on how to prevent domestic violence and discrimination, will not be published this year, a U.N. document showed, part of what rights groups describe as a broader backlash against gender equality.

Traditional commemoration in remembrance of the LGBTIQ+ victims persecuted, tortured & killed by the Nazis. We need a culture of remembrance. So that history does not repeat itself.

A Guide to Thesis Writing and a Guide to Life Writing and research manuals like Umberto Eco’s “How to Write a Thesis” offer a vision of our best selves, Hua Hsu wrote, in 2015.

Umberto Eco’s enduringly popular manual “How to Write a Thesis” is more than a guide for undergraduates; the book is a celebration of the magical process of self-realization.

Would’ve been cheaper to let Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson have a chat in some dino-print t-shirts. I, for one, would pay good money to see that.

Rep. Andy Ogles V @RepOgles Follow Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi. June 26, 2025 The Honorable Pam Bondi Attomey General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, De 20530 Dear Altomey General Bondi, I write to request that the Department of Justice open an investigation into whether Zohran Kwame Mamdani, currently a candidate for Mayor of New York City, should be subject to denaturalization proceedings under 8 U.S.C. § 1451(a) on the grounds that he may have procured U.S. citizenship through willful misrepresentation or concealment of material support for terrorism. According to public reports, including a June 21, 2025 New York Post article, Mr. Madani expressed open solidarity with individuals convicted of terrorism-related offenses prior to becoming a U.S. citizen.' Specifically, he rappod: "Free the Holy Land Five / My guys." The Holy Land Foundation was convicted in 2008 for providing material support to Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization. Publicly praising the Foundation's convicted leadership as "my guys" raises serious concerns about whether Mr. Mamdani held affiliations or sympathies he failed to disclose during the naturalization process. While 1 understand that some may raise First Amendment concerns about taking legal action based on expressive conduct, such as rap lyrics, speech alone does not preclude accountability where it reasonably suggests underlying conduct relevant to cligibility for naturalization. If an individual publicly glorifies a group convicted of financing terrorism, it is entirely appropriate for federal authorities to inquire whether that individual engaged in non-public forms of support— such as organizational affiliation, fundraising. or advocacy that would have r…
