Robert Harris said in a course, whenever he meets extremely religious students claiming "the Tora says", he picks up the book, puts it to the students' ears and asks them what the Tora says because he cannot hear anything.
That picture really got stuck with me.

An analogue I’ve noticed between fundamentalist scriptural exegesis and jurispudential originalism as actually practiced in the wild: Both enable a kind of ventriloquism by assuming univocality in the texts they purport to interpret.

Alright, as I won't be finishing another book today, here is 2025's reading list. Don't know how I managed to read 50+ books (my average is ~35), maybe insomnia has its perks.

My two top occasions:
"Have you ever tried to get a five year old to be quiet" (father whose kid has been screaming, crying or singing non-stop after being repeatedly asked to change coaches)
"I cannot talk, really, I'm sitting in the quiet zone" (woman on the phone, very loudly - continues)

Of all the things going on in the designated quiet area of a train, enthusiastic whistling might be the worst I had to endure so far

So, I actually just went to the movies today. It's a cool movie. Funny, the right amount of depth. I think I got most of the jokes (relied too much on subtitles though).

This is annoyingly wholesome. They could only fuck that up, and they fucked everything up - and then they pick it up.
(Don't expect surprises, though. It's season 2 again).

Um mal was Positives zu sagen: Gerade kamen die Ergebnisse der Lohnverhandlungen und die Bedingungen für die untersten Gehaltsgruppen haben sich echt verbessert. Ich hab im April 2022 mit 47.500 CHF gestartet. Die gleiche Lohngruppe bekommt ab Januar 53.500 CHF. Das ist schon gut.

So, in Gossip Girl, Dorota is Polish and Vanya is Belarusian but they're having a Russian wedding because that's 'east-european'.
And Vanya is a proud russian man. How little research is expected.

Nota Bene: Das Problem war historisch und ist aktuell, dass Linke ein Problem mit der liberalen Demokratie haben. Was sich offenbar hauptsächlich darin zeigt, dass sie Plauderrunden mit Faschos problematisch finden.
Der "Fehler" damals war, dass Linke und Rechte, stalinistische KPD und Nazis, denselben Feind hatten: die liberale Demokratie. Der Fehler ist heute, dass die Linke ihren Anteil an der Zerstörung der Republik nicht zugibt und darum - wie Sie - lieber Liberale beschimpft als Rechte kritisiert.

Fun fact: Phillip Aries mentions a consilium to allegedly be the first to prohibit suicide, not putting any reference. Everybody cites him. For my master's thesis, I tried to find out about it. Found nothing (didn't dig too deep, but still).
Here's my thoughts about the fake citation thing.
First, it's not really that new. I've seen citations in papers and not been able to track them down before. What's more, there are tons and tons of citations to real papers which claim they say things that they definitely don't say.
