[Mastodon quotes]

I quoted a news post from @Slate , adding some thoughts on the issue.

It's probably a bot profile that will never approve my quote. I'm just registering a small annoyance.

Then I shared the news without any comment.

I recently realized that one of my favorite Borges books was written at one of humanity’s darkest times, at the height of hatred the world has ever seen, when Europeans were killing each other.

A satirical political cartoon depicting Friedrich Merz, the current Chancellor of Germany and leader of the CDU, embracing Alice Weidel, co-leader of the far-right AfD party. The text below them in German reads: ‘Es wird merz – die Tage werden in Deutschland wieder länger und dunkler,’ which translates to ‘It’s becoming Merz – the days in Germany are getting longer and darker again.’ The illustration critiques the political climate in Germany, referencing the controversial relationship between Merz’s CDU and the AfD.

How Charlie Chaplin used his uncanny resemblance to Hitler to fight fascism

This is a black-and-white photo of Charlie Chaplin in his iconic role as Adenoid Hynkel from the 1940 film The Great Dictator. Chaplin is standing at a podium, giving a dramatic speech. He is dressed in a military-style uniform with a cap that has a double cross symbol on it. His right arm is raised, and he has a serious, intense expression on his face, with his signature toothbrush mustache. Behind him, there are several microphones, and a crowd of uniformed soldiers can be seen in the background. The scene is a satire of authoritarian leaders, blending comedy with powerful social commentary.

What Brazil can teach to the United States: the trial of Jair Bolsonaro.

*Excellent*.

The cover of *The Economist* magazine. The background is bright yellow. At the top, the magazine’s title, *The Economist*, is written in bold white letters against a red background. The main image shows Bolsonaro wearing a dark suit and tie. His face is painted with the colors of the Brazilian flag-green, yellow, and blue. He is also wearing a large, dramatic headdress with bull horns, giving him a striking and symbolic appearance, similar to one guy who invaded the Capitolio. The cover’s main headline reads: **"What Brazil can teach America."** Below this, there is a subheading: **"The trial of Jair Bolsonaro."** On the left side of the cover, there are smaller headlines for other articles inside the magazine: - The Federal Reserve - Can China keep innovating? - After tariffs: India’s next move - Office life—feuds, grudges, and revenge The cover uses bold text and vivid imagery to draw attention to its themes of politics, economics, and international relations.
