That was a really insightful presentation!
I think I haven't disliked a film so viscerally since Forrest Gump.
I am still thinking about why I found the style of the film so disconcerting, apart from the unlikeable protagonist.
@eileenj19.bsky.social made a lot of valid points in her critique.
I am now all the more glad I was spared the undeserved epiphanic finale.
After having just walked out of Marty Supreme after its first half, it's comforting to see that meaningful film criticism is not yet dead.
Dieses Jahr könnte ein Anders-Jahr sein, denn vor 70 Jahren veröffentlichte der Philosoph, Schriftsteller und Sprachkritiker Günther Anders (1902–1992) den ersten Band seines Hauptwerkes »Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen«.

Martenstein am Rednerpult
Ich habe mir in einem Anflug von Masochismus die Rede von Martenstein beim "Prozess gegen Deutschland" angehört. Ihr wisst, das ist dieses dreitägige Theaterprojekt von Milo Rau in Hamburg. Martenstein hat auf dieser Bühne etwas bekommen, was er bei Bild nicht bekommt: die Aura des Kulturellen. 🧵
The air quality in Berlin and actually all the eastern parts of Germany has been consistently bad for a couple of weeks now. Yet there is virtually no reporting in the media about this. Why is that?

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Shaftesbury is the most rewarding source for thinking about enthusiasm in modernity, alas largely forgotten nowadays...
I feel the same in regard to ENTHUSIASM which is much more than mere euphoria.
I’m truly excited to share that The Oxford Handbook of Emotions in International Relations, co-edited with Andrew Ross , is finally out in the world. lnkd.in/dZYNS2Jb
This project has been a journey: full of ideas, conversations, challenges, and inspiration.I’m deeply grateful to all contributors.
Thank you!

Huge thanks to my brilliant colleague Chris – you did a fantastic job!
«Critical thinking is not the sole attribute of literature and philosophy departments. Instead, it is embedded in science, engineering and other hardcore technical disciplines, where logic and problem-solving are non-negotiable.»
No, critical thinking is not «problem-solving».
It's problematization

As a one-sentence response to the “promise” of generative AI, this may never be topped.
Totenpost ist allerdings ein Highlight
Dieses Buch wird auffällig intensiv beworben, vor allem die englische Fassung. Cui bono?
This is not news to many of us, but nonetheless a confirmation of the anti-constitutional and racist views held by the electorate.
21% voted for AfD in the parliamentary elections in Feb.
AfD is currently polling ahead of the conservative Christian Democrats.

I listen to this recording a lot these days. It’s pretty fantastic tbh
