I often hear that traditional German cuisine is dying out. Being a historian, I feel it's my responsibility to help preserve the country's cultural heritage as best I can...

The new powers of the Mate Mate State empowered by a generation of nasty thickos using AI is going to unleash cultural revolution levels of petty malovelence
Replying to @PolitlcsUK
From today, police, councils, social landlords and transport networks can apply to a court for a Respect Order, which can also include drug or alcohol rehabilitation, curfews or unpaid community work
They will be logged on the Police National Computer so officers can identify breaches and make arrests
As breaching an Order will be a criminal offence, the Government says they will only apply to adults to avoid giving children criminal records unnecessarily

Anything can happen when no one can share news of what's happening. And anything can be said about it later.
Just in: France's Prime Minister asked telecom companies to prepare to block social media platforms. "I wish to have the ability to temporarily suspend access to these services in case of a repeat of urban violence," he wrote. @blast news broke the story.

This is actually a condescending view of working-class people. I grew up in a working-class immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster and The Cheesecake Factory for "fancy nights out." But even we understood that the White House should not look like the inside of a Red Lobster. Working-class people are not culturally illiterate just because their experiences are shaped by their limited means.

I want a disheveled Gary Oldman delivering one of his beloved Beckett monologues (with a theme tune sung by Mick Jagger doing the world’s worst Mick Jagger impression) and occasionally firing Chekhov’s pistol at Hugo Weaving while swearing in a performatively off-the-cuff way.

Another East German classic for dinner last night: Karlsbader Schnitte.
Toast with tomato paste, ham, sliced gherkins and cheese. Then Worcester Sauce (versions of which were produced in the GDR) on top. Washed down with "Grüne Wiese" (Green Meadow): Blue Curacao & orange juice.

Je suis tellement triste.
Ce magasin c'est Sat Elite, un magasin de Jeux Vidéos indépendant situé boulevard Voltaire.
J'ai vécu 15 ans là bas, je passait très régulièrement, après l'école ou le collège, dans cette boutique pour parler avec les gérants ou admirer avec mes potes tous les items qu'ils avaient, qui allaient de l'original Banjo kazooie sur N64 aux editions spéciales japonaises de la switch en passant par les gamecubes et wii d'occasion, à des prix bien moins démesuré que ce qu'on veut nous faire croire.
Voir que ce magasin à été pillé me rend extrêmement triste car ça signe très probablement sa fermeture. Si vous connaissez un peu le boulevard Voltaire, vous savez que c'est loin d'être la seule boutique de jv qu'il y a pu avoir dans cette rue et c'est malheureusement une des seules qui reste, car elles ne parviennent plus à rester attractives face aux géants de l'e-commerce ou les grandes surfaces.
L'énorme majorité de ces boutiques étaient/sont tenues par des personnes avant tout passionnés car croyez moi bien que le profit facile ne se situe pas dans ce genre de business (regardez les nombreuses fermetures de Micromania pour le comprendre).
Il suffit de voir les avis google pour savoir que c'était une boutique appréciée, tenu par des passionnés, pour des passionnés et non des arnaqueurs ou des voleurs.
Ayant perdu des années de stock d'items rares, anciens et d'occasion, qui faisaient la particularité de cette boutique, je pense malheureusement que c'est la fin de Sat Elite (en tout cas tel que je l'ai connue), et je suis abattu à l'idée de savoir que la prochaine fois que je passerai à République, je ne pourrai surement plus rendre visite à cette boutique qui est une belle partie de mon enfance.

Musing on the level of ice-cold narcissism that it must take to watch a man being savaged by a tiger and think, "But what if it was me, and I was stronger than it, and it liked me?"

Almost no plot. Almost nothing to it at all. A love scene that never happens. No resolution because there is nothing really to resolve. Memory, loss, healing. Real joy, but fleeting. A painting uncovered as lots of other lovely things fade away. One of best books I’ve read for ages.
