one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

If you'd like to listen to a haunting track recorded on The Great Stalacpipe Organ - a huge lithophone organ in a cave, you're in luck. Pepe Deluxe 'In A Cave' youtu.be/rkvvcN6rt-I?...

Really enjoyed discussing the strategic challenges that Europe faces in a post-American world with Marco (in German) for the ForeignTimes podcast

That is so stupid, so inexperienced in foreign policy, that it hurts. The Kremlin will take note of it with pleasure.

Diese russisch-(us)amerikanischen „Verhandlungen“ werden in Lehrbüchern für Diplomatie eingehen. Man kann wunderbar lernen, wie passives Verhalten, garniert mit Scheinzusagen, lauten Empörungen, tatsächlicher wie auch angekündigter Aggression zum Erfolg führen können - Erfolg für Putin. 1/2

I found this episode of Archive On 4 very moving: Kenneth Williams reading Bible stories in full and fine voice (his Satan is particularly good), and the programme weaves these into his own life story and complicated Christian faith, much of which feels familiar. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

One of the earliest surviving images of Pan, this bronze statuette (5th century BC) depicts the god with goat's head and legs but a human torso. Pan’s raised hand shields his eyes from the sun while he watches over a flock of sheep or goats.

A lire, ce très beau papier de Nejma Brahim dans @mediapart.fr, sur Manssour Sow, ouvrier agricole mauritanien dans la Creuse, menacÊ d'expulsion et soutenu par un tas de gens sur place. Une France rurale que l'on voit peu dans les mÊdias. www.mediapart.fr/journal/fran...

Ethel Lina White (1876-1944) wrote incredible suspense novels in the 1930s like THE WHEEL SPINS and SOME MUST WATCH that were adapted into films by Hitchcock, Siodmak, and more. But she never got a NYT obit, until now. My latest, for the paper’s “Overlooked No More” section:

Hallo Häkelbubble, bitte seid so lieb und teilt das. Hat jemand Anfang des Monats bei Aldi Nord das Häkelset mit dem Schaf gekauft und könnte mir die Anleitung abfotografieren? Ich hab meine verloren und krieg hier Zustände 🥲

#BD Dans les années 1970, une maison d'édition se lance dans la réalisation de biographies de dirigeants africains sous forme de bandes dessinées. Sauf que les scénarios ne reflètent pas toujours la réalité historique... C’est la naissance d’Afrique Biblio Club. Par @kalidousy.bsky.social ⬇️

(Alte) Chinesische Kßnste haben auf dem Kunstmarkt schon länger ziemlich Konjunktur, auch weil da mittlerweile viele chinesische Sammler mit tiefen Taschen unterwegs sind. 32 Mio $ aber auch fßr diesen Markt wild. Im Artikel wird die Dynamik fßr Chinese Imperial Court Art bissle beschrieben.

Eigentlich auch schade, dass sich dieser Ultra-ornamentale insulare Stil (gemeint sind die britischen Inseln) mit den wilden Keltischen Knoten sich nicht gehalten hat. (Ich finde krass faszinierend, wie fĂźr die Realismus ein komplett irrelevanter Zugang zu Darstellung ist / vlt. sogar zur Welt)

So sieht es gerade in Belgrad vor dem RTS-Gebäude (staatlicher, Regime-naher Rundfunk) in der Stadtmitte aus. Folgen: • Sendungen ausgefallen • Programm gekürzt • Ausstrahlung vom Studio eines anderen Senders Das schwächt das autokratische System, Vučić, der sonst omnipräsent im TV ist. #Serbien 1/2

Als 2018 in Ungarn die Geschlechterstudien verboten wurden, erklärten Geschlechterforscher*innen immer wieder geduldig, dass das alle besorgen sollte, weil es ein 1 brutales ideologisches Signal der Regierung war. Das Echo war damals, sagen wir, eher verhalten. #Wissenschaftsfreiheit

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I bring you this news. Ochieng' Ogodo, Mongabay's East Africa Editor, passed away suddenly at the age of 64.

“Neither of them laid anything but a symbolic track between California and the East. They hardly even enriched their shareholders. Instead, they had a good deal of money made for them. Such was the role of the Great Man under global capitalism.” From Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris

It took Peter Staley two weeks to build 200 full-sized coffins. The longtime AIDS activist, with a group of volunteers, fashioned them out of styrofoam, tape and velcro. On Thursday, the volunteers stacked coffins 10 layers deep outside the State Department to protest cuts to global AIDS relief.

"We kiss every Paska [Easter cake] so that our children come home alive." Three men from the family of Emiliia Koblyk, a resident of Medzhybozh in Khmelnytskyi region, are defending Ukraine at the front line. Mrs Emiliia brought her own hand-baked Easter cakes to the local church.

The dollar remains the main medium of the world economy, but can this system last? If not, what comes next? Join me and my colleagues Katharina Pistor, Alan Taylor, and Jeffry Frieden on April 22 for a vital conversation on "The Future of the Dollar System."

Kunstmarkt ist oft gar kein schlechter Kanierenvogel in den Kohleminen des Finanzkapitalismus. Laut UBS Art Basel Art Report – DER Kunstmarkt-Analyse, wenn man sich für die reine Assets-Seite interessiert – ist der Umsatz 2024 um 13% zurückgegangen. --> theartmarket.artbasel.com/global-market
