Claus WilckeWir starren auf die <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usa</a> und die <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/junta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#junta</a> <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trump</a> und seine <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/henchmen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#henchmen</a> - der stellv.

Auch ein Widerstand in der <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/%C3%84sthetik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ästhetik</a> wäre gut:

Claus WilckeAlright, in den <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usa</a> befürwortet die Generalstaatsanwältin Pam <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/Bondi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bondi</a> dass das Strafverfahren gegen <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/ny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ny</a> Bürgermeister Eric <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/Adams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adams</a> „heute eingestellt wird“. Die den Fall leitende Staatsanwälting <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/Sassoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sassoon</a> ist zurückgetreten, nachdem sie den Befehl bekam, den Fall zu schließen. Das ist offen <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/politischejustiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politischejustiz</a> und damit ein Kennzeichen autoritärer <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/Regime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Regime</a> Die <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> sind keine <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/liberale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liberale</a> Demokratie mehr.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02/14/nyregion/eric-adams-charges-doj" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02/14/nyregion/eric-adams-charges-doj</a>

World History EncyclopediaCentered around the story of the Sassoons, a Jewish family in Ottoman Baghdad that spanned two continents, this book is not only a family story but also a story of global trade and global capitalism. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/OttomanEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OttomanEmpire</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EastIndiaCompany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EastIndiaCompany</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Sassoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sassoon</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HistoryFacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryFacts</a> <a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/review/400/the-global-merchants-the-enterprise-and-extravagan/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.worldhistory.org/review/400/the-global-merchants-the-enterprise-and-extravagan/</a>

Daniel DvorkinLots of people posting pictures of themselves in <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/uniform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uniform</a> today. Smiling, mostly. I remember many of them when they looked like that, and the ones I don’t—well, I still remember being them.Photographic evidence of my <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/service" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#service</a> is oddly thin on the ground. That sounds like it should be much more cool and mysterious than it actually is! “His paperwork says he was in the service. But there are no details. Not even a snapshot.”What it really means, of course, is that I just didn’t draw enough attention to get people to want to take many pictures of me, and in the pre-camera-phone era, that was easy. The one picture I have of myself in uniform that I really like is already posted in my Facebook photos, and it’s deliberately goofy. As for the rest, there just wasn’t usually anyone with a Polaroid around when I was [REDACTED].No objection to anyone else posting their photos, to be clear. I like seeing us when we were young and strong and pretty.I also haven’t posted my usual annual series of Siegfried <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Sassoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sassoon</a> poems. There’s no reason for that except distraction and exhaustion, which I think he would understand very well. “For the world’s events have rumbled on since those gagged days / Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways” … yes indeed. Life keeps happening, for most of us. Beats the alternative.Next year the poems will be back, most likely. There’s a reason I keep posting them. Sassoon captured the sheer insanity like no one else, which is why <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/McCrae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McCrae</a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Brooke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brooke</a> and yes, even <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Owen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Owen</a>, are more popular. Cleaner. More palatable.Those pictures. Sassoon also gave voice to the thoughts we’re ashamed to admit. Not shame over weakness in the face of overwhelming <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horror</a>: that was revolutionary a century ago, but a cliche now. Craving the horror, that part is still hard to face. Smiling faces and pressed uniforms and red dreams.<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Binyon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Binyon</a>: “Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.” That’s in every young <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/soldier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soldier</a>’s head, and anyone who tells you it’s not is a liar. Young and strong and pretty forever. Unlike most of the fantasies, it doesn’t go away, after years back on civvie street. I know it’s more on my mind with every passing decade, and I bet I’m not alone.I’m glad I’m still here, and a lot of other people are too. We’re not ready to throw the torch from failing hands just yet.So I won’t wish a happy day, nor offer thanks for service. Congratulations to all of us for making it this far. Food and showers and beds are just over the next rise. One foot in front of the other. Follow me.
