Share (human-made) art. Cook for your companions. Wear a mask. Reject liberal fatalism and hyperindividualism. Deny genocide and eugenics any ground. Nurture care-driven connections amidst the wreckage. There are other ways of living in this world.
Oh, to work between Xmas and NYE : no meetings, finally getting things done that have been on the To Do for weeks, uninterrupted soundtrack flowing through the headphones and the peaceful sipping of coffee.

Now, I’ve never read The Hunger Games, only seen the movies, I get it.
However Georges Perec’s ‘W or The Memory of Childhood’ is one of my favorite books and that’s also a little bit on the nose.

If the last 15 years of the tightening chokeholds on society and culture from the tech sector and the American conservative animus have taught us anything, it’s that it’s healthy to be extremely skeptical of anyone calling the humanities “low utility” or similar

Smthing that's been grating on me *big time* lately:
"I listened to these 10 albums so you don’t have to" is less a hook than ever and is starting to feel very literal, almost reading as an instruction: "Consume someone else’s pre-chewed takeaway, not the work. Your time is better spent elsewhere."

So fun.
Need to give the original audio (in German) a try. Could talk about Perec like a nerd for hours. What’s new, really ?

Afterwork treats : fancy olive oil and some new (old) Perec.
La Machine (1968, new FR translation 2025) : previously unpublished play about a machine that decrypts poetry by using a Goethe poem.
Not pictured: the olive oil.

It’s unsurprising but a little funny to open the comment section under a vid of the NYC Mayoral Debate & see « Mamdani is a socialist » as an insult for supposedly being a radical leftist, when rn, in France, we use « socialist » as an insult for someone who’s (somewhat) « unusually » leaning right.

I focused this, far too long, thread primarily on policy and tried, as much as possible, to keep personal views limited. Here's what really pisses me off though, at least Conservatives and Reform are honest about who they target with anti-immigration bs, Labour still pretends to be "progressive" 1/5
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/
