Es ist so absurd wenn man bedenkt das die alle die Kohle hätten einfach Klimawandel, Welthunger etc zu lösen und in die Geschichte einzugehen als die Person die das getan hat. Like you want legacy? Here is a way to echo through mankind history for centuries.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Warum/Wie eine gute Kritik keine Bewertung enthalten sollte, erschließt sich mir dagegen nicht. Wirklich ein Problem sind die Arbeitsbedingungen/Strukturen: die schlechte Bezahlung und die Frage, wer als Kritiker*in überhaupt einen Fuß in die Tür zur bezahlten Schreibarbeit bekommt. 2/2
Hörte gestern diese nicht mehr ganz neue Sendung zur Lyrikkritik und fand es erfrischend zu hören, dass einer der Befragten mit etwa 30/40 Prozent der deutschsprachigen Lyrik nichts oder wenig anfangen kann. 1/2

A giant pomelo over a country estate. The image is part of a book about famous citrus fruits of Nuremberg (VD18 14760916).
What looks like an alien starship visiting a small country estate in eighteenth-century Germany is in fact, *checks notes* a giant pomelo. So nothing to see here, #skystorians
