Ich habe übers Wochenende Über Menschen von Juli Zeh (DE 2022) gelesen und mich gut amüsiert.
Neuer Roman von Juli Zeh
Juli Zeh hat früher weniger literarisch geschrieben. Diesmal ist viel Satire in die Darstellung von Klima- und Corona-Hysterie geflossen und der Stil ist dichter.
Die Protagonistin wird von Corona aus Berlin vertrieben in ein kleines Dorf in Brandenburg.
Grosse Überraschung: Nazis sind Menschen!
Das macht sie nicht notwendig zu harmlosen Mitbürgern, aber es ist eher schädlich, sie aus der Kommunikation auszuschliessen.

"In its almost 70-year history, documenta has developed into the world's most important exhibition of modern art. Every five years, it creates a space for artistic perspectives on the central issues of the global world. This was and is only possible thanks to the complete refusal of politics to exert any influence on artistic issues and the strict preservation of artistic freedom. This finds its limits in the law, which is bindingly established by the courts, not in parliamentary resolutions, not in the opinions of politicians, not in reasons of state and also - as is now planned for documenta - in enforced voluntary commitments by curators and artists. This petition demands that artistic freedom, as enshrined in Article 5 of the German Basic Law, continues to be preserved and is not restricted by political or other external influences, which is why we at the #standwithdocumenta initiative are doing everything we can to support you in protecting this important platform for modern art and preserving its independence. Please sign this petition now!"

The Cult of the Spargel Eaters — 40% German https://40percentgerman.com/home/2021/3/26/the-cult-of-the-spargel-eaters-w8f8a-k53x4-6grx9

Nevertheless, the Germans have their own signal that spring is springing. As the weather begins to brighten, small makeshift stalls appear along numerous lay-bys and country lanes, each proudly announcing that Germany’s embodiment of spring, Spargelzeit (Asparagus season), has begun.

Statement by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on X

Seriously, what would they have done if their consulate was bombed and their staff were murdered by say Iraqi resistance or Yemeni rebels?

Would they have the same kind of understanding?

What did US do when e of it's occupying soldiers were killed when they were in syria? Did they refrain from retaliation?

Fuck Abdollahian and IRI, but these people are out of their minds trying to protect the terrorist regime of Israel.

At the Deutsches Museum in Munich

This is a real gem. The museum sits on an island in the city's Isar river and is one of the most exciting places to go. The focus is history and applied science and technology.

One, for sheer size (can spend a full day in there easily), and two for nifty details in architecture (roof terrace, see photo, and underground tunnels) and every exhibition (interactivity in all parts).

An excellent team is running the thing on a consistently high level.

An interview with Nancy Fraser, who had her Albertus-Magnus-Professorship cancelled by Uni #Köln bc of her stance toward #Palestine.

She received an Email from the organising Professor telling her that there were concerns about her signing an open letter “Philosphy for Palestine”* and that she should clarify her views. Her reaction (in mind): How dare you …! 👍
