@gildasahebi.bsky.social durfte dem Gespräch zwischen @janboehm.bsky.social und und dem schwafelnden sogenannten Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer lauschen. Der seinen Aufstieg auch einem FalseBaLanz und einer Maischberger, wegen der sogenannten Ausgewogenheit, zu verdanken hat.

Sie wollen wieder Listen führen
"Für internen Unmut sorgte dabei, dass nach taz-Informationen einige Fakultäten offenbar ohne große Diskussion bereit waren, für das Ministerium Listen zu erstellen. Letztlich entschied die Uni sich, keine Listen zu erstellen und auf die Wissenschaftsfreiheit zu verweisen." taz.de/AfD-hetzt-ge...

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

I truly wish all of the German Feuilleton bros who have been fawning over Thiel would read @adriandaub.bsky.social‘s piece in the Guardian and take some time to think long and hard about the fact why they believe Thiel to be a brilliant intellectual genius.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Auf die Frage, was er zur Kritik sage, dass die völlige Streichung von Bürgergeld und Mietzahlungen Obdachlosigkeit produziere, antwortet Friedrich Merz, dass in Deutschland jeder, der ein Dach über dem Kopf benötige, auch eines bekommt, und das ist die unverfrorenste Lüge seit langem.

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

It is (almost) funny to me how, for decades, we've seen the decline of appreciation and funding for liberal arts (and subsequently enrollments), and for 10 to 15 years, we've also seen the rise of (technocratic) authoritarianism, but people won't connect the dots. www.startribune.com/liberal-arts...
Liberal arts are on a long decline. Some Minnesota schools are finding new ways to boost them.
English majors in Minnesota have declined by 44% while health professions have increased sevenfold, for instance. What’s the future for the liberal arts?
