  1. The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man

    Just finished reading this excellent 1912 novel by James Weldon Johnson - the fictional account of a young biracial man living in the post-Reconstruction era of America. The title of the book is a bit misleading since throughout most of the lead character's story he is exploring his place in society with full acknowledgment of his true racial identity.

    Weldon was a writer + civil rights activist - an early leader of the NAACP. He was known during the Harlem Renaissance for his poems + wrote the lyrics for "Lift Every Voice and Sing", which later became known as the Black National Anthem.

  9. John Hurt, Richard Burton – George Orwells „1984“ (1984)

    Als George Orwell seinen Roman schrieb, lag Europa in Trümmern. Es war das Jahr 1949. Der Faschismus war besiegt, aber sicher nicht verschwunden. Der Stalinismus war auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Macht, die britische Arbeiter:innenklasse erschöpft, der Kolonialismus des Empires in Auflösung. Orwell – geboren als Eric Arthur Blair – war Sozialist, doch er hat jeder Macht misstraut, selbst einer linken. (ARD, Neu!)

  10. We can tell how well Twitter is doing by the quality and appropriateness of its adverts.

    Big name brands, well targeted, indicate a healthy advertising ecosystem. Weird ads for niche products suggest something's wrong.

    I'm now being fed ads for discount ecumenical clothing. 🤯 #birdsite #Twitter #ElonMusk #twittermeltdown

    I've heard the suggestion that Facebook is great if you're interested in people, and Twitter is great if you're interested in ideas. That was certainly the reason that I favoured Twitter!

    Unless you write like that, of course!

    They're lying. We know they're lying. They know we know they're lying.

    Brexit is simply about power. The power to smash and claim that it's constructive. The power to isolate and claim that it's global. The power to steal and claim that it's patriotic.
