A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

Hades II is amazing. There are nods to both Lattimore's and Wilson's Odyssey translations.
Lattimore: “Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways…”
Wilson: “Tell me about a complicated man…”
Hades II: “Some know him as the man of many ways; certainly he is a complicated one.”

Art forgery is a victimless crime that should not be prosecuted if the artist and immediate heirs are dead. Also, heists like the Louvre, the punishment should be limited to handing back what is stolen if the execution was victimless and cool enough. Especially if a tunnel is involved.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I know correlation isn’t causation, and I know numbers this small are anecdotes not data, but Redford, like Lynch, certainly does provide evidence towards the notion that trying to do good in your life might be related to continuing to get hotter right up until the day you pass from this earth

Diese Kirk-Meinungsartikel überall zeigen so ein stumpfes Bild von Politik. Fokus nur auf Form, null auf Inhalt.
Hauptsache man debattiert, dann ist das demokratisch und gut. Was die Inhalte sind, ist egal.
Menschenverachtung scheint für diese Autor:innen ok, solange sie anständig vorgetragen wird

Charlie Kirk war nicht "konservativ" oder "rechts-konservativ". Charlie Kirk war ein rechtsextremer Rassist, Sexist und Faschist. Jemand mit Einstellungen, die Teile der AfD moderat erscheinen lassen. Man muss sein politisches Projekt nicht beschönigen, um seine Ermordung zu verurteilen.

Sehr empfehlenswert. Ich habe absichtlich langsam gelesen weil ich nicht wollte, dass das Buch allzu schnell endet.
Da ich – wie viele Autor*innen – Bücher verkaufen muss, um überhaupt die Chance zu bekommen, weiter Bücher machen zu dürfen, hier nochmal:
Mein Roman "Unter weitem Himmel" ist erschienen und ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr ihn lest, weiterempfehlt oder ihn einfach zur Deko in eure Wohnung legt.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because
a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked
b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books
