The real genius of DEADWOOD is in Milch's uncanny insight into how different classes of people with different temperaments talk to and fail to talk to each other.

Um ein KfZ zuzulassen, wartet man acht Wochen, auf einen Termin zur persönlichen Ummeldung sechs Wochen, eine Verkehrslenkung findet praktisch nicht statt, die Bahnen sind überfüllt, die Busse unpünktlich - aber haut mal schön rein, ihr Deppen.

„Ich kann da durchaus argumentative Unterstützung gebrauchen“, schrieb Christian Lindner während des Ampel-Streits über E-Fuels per SMS an Porsche-Chef Markus Blume. Der setzte den Wunsch unverzüglich um. (1/2)

Welcome to Trump's America, where you can bribe the president in exchange for legal immunity. The United States was founded on the principle that everyone is subject equally to the law. MAGA is converting us into a mafia state, a haven for obscene criminality.

These: Wenn wir nicht schaffen, Journalismus auf neue Art zu finanzieren, ist die freie, demokratische Gesellschaft nicht zu halten. Den größten Unsinn gibt es überall gratis, für kluge Hintergrundartikel muss man überall zahlen. Was wird sich logischerweise schneller verbreiten? So wird das nichts.

Hat Frau Prien eigentlich diese Idee, Menschen zu Hause andere Menschen pflegen zu lassen, mit ihrem Chef, Herrn Merz, abgestimmt, der die Menschen doch jeden Tag aus ihrem Zuhause heraus zur Arbeit treiben will und der sie faul nennt, wenn sie nicht jeden Tag bis zum Umfallen auf Maloche sind?

Re-upping: If anyone anywhere in US journalism is planning a story this coming week on "Joe Biden's fitness," .. . ... Look at yourself in the mirror and focus on what is happening right now. Our problems, NOW, do not involve Joe Biden.

Thanks for teaching me a new word that really has to enter my political lexicon. "Epistocracy". Nice.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

Because until recently, Orban was connected enough to wider realities to know when to pull back and stop annoying the EU as well as the Hungarian business elite. A self-preservation skill he has increasingly lost touch with as he becomes immersed in his own myths of world historical greatness

Donald Trump’s inner circle is charging $5 million for a private dinner with a president. But at least they aren’t hiding his cognitive decline from the press the way that Biden’s inner circle did.

So, this is funny, but I would actually contend that a significant part of our political dysfunction right now is that we, as a nation, are still caring about 'stupid bullshit,' but we're expressing that care through politics which can only change policy, but not the stupid bullshit.

I spent ten years attacking universities as illiberal and overly woke. Now that the Trump administration is using my rhetoric to destroy American science and higher education, I am horrified but not horrified enough to apologize.

Das ist wirklich bemerkenswert. Statt den Shitstorm von rechts als Partei einfach mal auszuhalten, gibt es eine Welle von Beschwichtigung, die natürlich dem Shitstorm weitere Nahrung gibt. Gelebte parteiinterne Entsolidarisierung.

Die Unfähig- und -willigkeit des grünen Partei-Establishments mediale Logiken auch nur mal verstehen zu wollen, von sich ne eigene situationsadäquate Medienstrategie zuzulegen rede ich erst gar nicht, ist mir wirklich ein absolutes Geheimnis. (Sowas wie hier darf 2012 passieren, aber NICHT JETZT.)

The pathetic aspect of Kretschmer's approach is that he has done everything to appease pro-Russian and xenophobic parts of Saxon society only to stop the rise of the AfD only to still be condemned by them for "betrayal" as the AfD rises to dominance in Saxony www.zeit.de/politik/deut...
