🎶The Homin Choir performed Mykola Leontovych’s world-famous Shchedryk in the Austrian Parliament.
The song — now a global Christmas classic — was originally written in Pokrovsk, a city that is currently being destroyed by Russia.

Jo Wolff lecture very worth a watch, lots of enlightening observations - I can only recommend it - then again I am biased as he refers to my favourite authors and thinkers of that time ❤️
Thanks Thomas! I don’t think it will be broadcast. Might be recorded. There are a few of my lectures on YouTube. This one has the highest production values!

Well given that DOJ in July this year closed an investigation on basis that there was no 3rd party to investigate - this seems very weird 😂
Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

Rereading Hannah Arendt "On Lying and Politics" - I am reminded that politicians lying also destroys democracy ❤️
Critique is not automatically criticism
It should be an essential part of democratic debate (and academic debate for that matter)

Hell, fuck it:
Give the UK ID Card project to the 🇫🇷 Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANTS), IDEMIA, and La Poste while you're at it
We'll do a better job and have been running ID card systems for decades while you brits have been crying about the illuminati coming to steal your jaffa cakes

So maybe everyone should lobby against Palantir having a role in the project, rather than lobbying against the incoming UK ID card system?
