it time for a thread of books I have read this year
...starting with Joyce's Ulysses. Outstanding, difficult, disorienting, impossible, inventive, too clever for its own good and funny as hell. This is an absolute must read for anyone who loves great literature.

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of BOUND boxd.it/bJjqFl
Saucy, stylish & seductive noir provides an exhilarating ride. Get on!
Gina Gershon, Jennifer Tilly & Joe Pantoliano are perfect triangle of chaos, but who's zooming who? Special shout out to sexy psycho Chris Meloni.

Finally got my copy of our book "Design als Kulturpraxis", published with @springernature including my paper about the implanting character of design.
Co-edited with my colleague Gesa Foken, collecting a group of amazing female researchers from theory and practice!

Passend dazu hatte ich neulich das hier in der TL und keinerlei Bereitschaft zu verstehen, dass Mamdani und "Anschlag" & "Ground-Zero" hier natürlich antimuslimische "er ist ein Islamist"-Chiffre sind. Festes Eingraben, dass das nur normale Begriffe sind und nur ich das hier im 9/11-Kontext lese.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if an academic sets out to finally concentrate on writing for a few hours somewhere nearby loud roadworks must commence.

1/ In case you missed it: on Sunday evening, Jason Stanley was invited to speak at the Jewish Community of Frankfurt to commemorate the November Pogrom of 1938 (referred to as 'Kristallnacht' in English). His talk was cut short after members of the audience shouted him down. German interview below:

Der US-Philosoph Jason Stanley sollte in der Jüdischen Gemeinde Frankfurt eine Rede halten. Sie wurde abgebrochen. Stanely ist schockiert.

Added a paragraph on why I think the “Reports” are important for reading early Critical Theory, especially given how weak even the better attempts to “restart the disrupted debate” between the CTers & the Vienna Circle have been
