Es war als digital detox ganz interessant. Und ich habe endlich Wall-E gesehen (klare Empfehlung). Und Hidden City (naja, man schaut halt, was herumliegt).

Nachdem uns ein Böller den Internetanschluss für fünf Tage weggesprengt hat, haben wir eine gute Auswahl an DVDs im Haus sehr zu schätzen gelernt. Die wird jetzt ausgebaut und demnächst wird es auch noch einen neuen DVD-Player auf Vorrat geben.

Ich denke, re-offline ist aktuell ein Trend.

Barthes Studies @barthesstudies.bsky.social · 8h

The most British moment in all of Barthes:

→ The Weather: false referent that enables people to communicate, to come into contact with one another, when ordinarily the subjects in question:
(I) don't know each other; (2) don't feel that they belong to the same class, the same culture; (3) can't bear silence; (4) want to talk to each other but don't want to offend, to risk upsetting anyone, conflict; (5) or, at the other extreme, who love each other so much that they use the very tactfulness of the trivial expression as a means to express their love;

People point out inconsistencies, contradictions, and logical fallacies and consider this to be insightful criticism. Any meaningful critique of ideology begins with questioning the function of contradictions and the conditions that produce and sustain them

Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

so cool that this guy who can barely stand up straight or read off a piece of paper can order military strikes on civilian targets and abduct foreign leaders

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

OF THE EMPIRE

We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Beautiful quote on one of the many reasons this is so harmful.

Among the library’s frequent users has been Santiago Gassó, an atmospheric scientist. When he wanted to learn about chaos theory, he went to the Goddard library, plucked old textbooks and sat down to read. Dr. Gassó, said liked the library’s quiet spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows.
“I get very creative when I go there,” he said. “There’s nothing like going to the bookshelf, picking out a book, and then seeing the one next to it. You start to browse.

Die unbegrenzte Böllerfreiheit der Libertären setzt eine kostspielige staatliche Infrastruktur voraus: Feuerwehr, Polizei, Notärzte, Müllbeseitigung. All das kostet viel mehr als ein Feuerwerk der öffentlichen Hand ohne das Chaos auf den Straßen. Ein Beispiel für libertäre Illusionen generell.

Dann vielleicht als aktuelles Update aus der Hauptstadt: Die "Straße" hat die Debatte bereits beendet, offenbar gewonnen und scheppert daher jetzt in diesem Moment Feuerwerkslärm durchs Viertel, als wäre es schon morgen.
