Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather
All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable." REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—" YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. "So we can believe the big ones?" YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. "They're not the same at all!" YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—" MY POINT EXACTLY.

Ein sehr schöner sehenswerter Film von @ingwarpero.bsky.social zeigt an wunderbaren Beispielen, wie eine kluge Verkehrspolitik die Lebensqualität in unseren Städten rasch und drastisch verbessern kann! Die Reise geht von Paris über Gent, Utrecht und weitere bis Kopenhagen. youtu.be/R5jQc1jXLAU?...

Die Zeichnung zeigt die klassische Krippe-Szene aus der Weihnachtsgeschichte. Man sieht eine schlichten Krippe bzw. Hütte auf freiem Feld. Am Himmel erscheint ein leuchtender Stern mit Schweif, der starkes Licht auf die Hütte wirft. Neben der Hütte stehen Schafe, was die klassische Weihnachts- bzw. Krippenszenerie aufgreift. Aus der Hütte kommen mehrere Sprechblasen. Darin stehen die Fragen: „Ist es ein Junge?“ „Ist er der Heiland?“ „Passt er ins Stadtbild?“ Als Antwort kommt aus der Hütte selbst die Antwort: „Sei still, Friedrich!!“

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

This view is wrong

A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

Ruft mal bitte bei der Roßmann-Hotline an und lasst Support und Lob da. Die Dame an der Hotline meinte eben, dass sie heute viel Hass für die Entscheidung bekommen haben. Oder schreibt Emails. Überlasst den vermeintlichen "Diskurs" nicht den blaubraunen.

Das Wadephul innerhalb der CDU nun stärker unter Druck gerät als es Spahn je wird, sagt alles über den moralischen und geistigen Zustand dieser Partei (und leider auch des Landes) aus.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

There is a special place in hell for professors who annoy their students.
The cartoon by Tom Gauld shows three characters inside a cave-like "hell". In the centre stands a devil figure with horns, a tail, a trident, and a medallion. On the left is a woman, drawn as a professor, and on the right is a man in a suit raising his hand. The devil says: "Welcome to Science Hell, Professor. This is Tony, he once saw something on the internet about your field of expertise and is going to spend eternity lecturing you on it." The joke is that the professor's personal hell is being endlessly "educated" by a layperson armed with internet half-knowledge.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.

We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology.

And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.

Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.
