Was linke Buchhandlungen in der BRD angeht, ist *Das Buch* Uwe Sonnenbergs "Von Marx zu Maulwurf" @rlspang.bsky.social
eigentlich sollte Uwe unbedingt ein Kommentar zu dem ganzen Schlamassel schreiben!

“Socialism or barbarism” is a phrase we‘ve all heard many times. But it’s never felt it so viscerally true before now.
With the weather gentler and the sun shining in Berlin, it’s time to visit some bookshops
Never gets old
I'm afraid I can't just sit here and say nothing when another law professor gives false testimony to Congress about the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Ilan Wurman has given false testimony to Congress, being fully on notice of the falsity. I do not think this is fairly debatable. 1.
The most pressing contemporary question is how to escape the perpetual loop of taking something that was *already bad* and making it much worse.
Weimer lügt - und ist feige, wie es sich für einen autoritären Charakter gehört. Er hat in seinem Absage gegenüber den Buchhandlungen tatsächlich behauptet, die unabhängige Jury hätte so entschieden. Es ist so unfassbar.
Die Affäre um den Deutschen Buchhandlungspreis geht weiter: Der Beauftragte für Kultur und Medien (BKM) hat die drei ausgeschlossenen Buchhandlungen belogen. In einer E-Mail vom Februar teilte der BKM ihnen mit, die Jury hätte sich nicht für sie entschieden. Das war unwahr. (1/6)

It’s exactly a month until my book publishes on 9 April! THE ASSET CLASS is a narrative investigation of private equity, a relentlessly destructive wing of finance that infiltrates almost every corner of modern life. Here are some of the very generous things that people have said about it so far…
A fascinating approach, highly recommended
Managed to go to both presentations and the information, the method and the framework of analysis just keeps giving. So check out future dates in case you get a chance to attend, definitely worth it.
Didnt notice any cameras/microphones but can’t be sure. @quinnslobodian.com @bentarnoff.com ?

For those who couldn’t make it, worry not. Happening today too!
Great presentation and discussion last night by @quinnslobodian.com and @bentarnoff.com on the occasion of the German edition of their book Muskism.
Am 10. März 1943 starb Martha Liebermann im Jüdischen Krankenhaus Berlin.
Ein Kriminalbeamter, der sie zum Abtransport ins KZ Theresienstadt abholen wollte, hatte sie fünf Tage zuvor im Koma in ihrer letzten noch verbliebenen Wohnung in der Graf-Spee-Straße 23 (heute Hiroshimastraße) aufgefunden. 🧵
Maybe it's time someone took away his playstation
If for whatever weird reason he ever ends up being held accountable (he won’t, I know), his legal defense might be quite hard.
The conditioning of people’s thought process to a relentless attention-seeking timeframe has made (too) many incapable of understanding why the actual world does not move with the same speed as the clickbait headlines imply. A constant state of self-reinforcing anxiety is the only consequence.

«ΝΕΡΟ» in Greek means water.
Keep reading about how this shipping legend “braves” the high-risk Hormuz strait - even though *he* is not on these ships. As some annoying radicals noted some time ago, in capitalism all risks are acceptable when things are so arranged that those who actually take them have no choice in the matter.
No debate there
