Congratulations! 💯

Available on many platforms, half of which I've never heard of because I am digitally obsolete and listen podcasts on youtube or soundcloud (btw. Chinese Philosophy Podcast is also on youtube, though not mentioned here).

Another fresh paper by Veith Selk on the "the obsolescence of democracy and the conceptual exhaustion of democratic theory" as the classical democratic narrative is questioned not only by right-wing populism, but also progressive and ecological theory&citizens.

Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of coupling academic texts with cat tax.
Also, reminds me that I haven't exposed my beautiful cats to the internet enough, recently.

I love crowded trains where there's rows of double seats taken with one person + one small bag 😂
People wanting to be left alone, I guess. Something something individualism and lonely society.
Of course, not too difficult to ask "Is this seat taken?"

To be fair, Germany gets a bad rep and talks less grandiose than some other countries, but ranks number 2 in total aid to Ukraine (different story per GDP, of course).
