"Esther and Sebastian discuss the 1932 fragment Nonsychronism and the Obligation to its Dialectics from Bloch's Heritage of our Times. Our hosts talk about their personal encounters with Bloch, revolutionary traditions and the meaning of the communist dictatorship of the present over the past. Special guests include: Kanafani, Amel, and Pasolini. Bloch's essay, as Walter Benjamin commented, "takes its place inappropriately". Perhaps its time was never there, perhaps it contains a utopia waiting to be excavated."

Wielka Brytania idzie na wojnę z algorytmami. Rząd chce odciąć 16-latków od social mediów
To, o czym eksperci od zdrowia psychicznego alarmowali od lat, wreszcie materializuje się w formie przepisów. Po tym, jak w grudniu 2025 roku Australia wprowadziła pierwszy na świecie zakaz korzystania z mediów społecznościowych dla młodzieży, Londyn mówi: „sprawdzam”. Choć to na razie tylko konsultacje, polityczny kurs Brytyjczyków wydaje się jasny.
Jak informuje BBC, brytyjski rząd oficjalnie rozpoczyna konsultacje nad wprowadzeniem analogicznego zakazu dla osób poniżej 16. roku życia. Cel jest jeden: przerwać pętlę uzależnienia.
Szkoła „domyślnie” bez telefonu
Plan rządu Partii Pracy, przedstawiony przez Sekretarz ds. Technologii Liz Kendall, jest dwutorowy. Po pierwsze: bezwzględna granica wieku. Trzymiesięczne konsultacje mają odpowiedzieć na pytanie, jak skutecznie weryfikować wiek użytkowników i odciąć najmłodszych od cyfrowych platform.
Po drugie: szkoła wolna od smartfona. To nie ma być już tylko dobra wola dyrektora. Ofsted (brytyjski odpowiednik kuratorium oświaty) otrzyma uprawnienia do kontrolowania polityki telefonicznej placówek. Oczekiwanie ministrów jest jasne: szkoły mają być strefami wolnymi od telefonów „z definicji”. Co więcej, nauczyciele otrzymają wytyczne, by nie używać prywatnych urządzeń w obecności uczniów, dając tym samym dobry przykład.
Głos matki i „bombardowanie algorytmami”
Za suchymi przepisami stoją ludzkie tragedie. Twarzą kampanii na rzecz zakazu stała się Esther Ghey, matka zamordowanej nastolatki Brianny Ghey. W poruszającym liście do premiera odrzuciła argument, jakoby social media były niezbędne dla „wrażliwych dzieci szukających swojej społeczności”.
„Jako rodzic niezwykle wrażliwego dziecka, zdecydowanie się z tym nie zgadzam” – pisze Ghey. „W przypadku Brianny media społecznościowe ograniczyły jej zdolność do wchodzenia w interakcje w świecie rzeczywistym. Miała prawdziwych przyjaciół, ale wybrała życie online”.
Wtóruje jej Catherine McKinnell, była minister ds. standardów szkolnych, która zwraca uwagę na mechanizm uzależnienia: „Dzieci nie powinny być bombardowane informacjami przesyłanymi przez algorytmy zaprojektowane tylko po to, by generować pieniądze dla firm technologicznych”.
Czy zakaz jest rozwiązaniem? Eksperci podzieleni
Choć politycy (zarówno rządząca Partia Pracy, jak i opozycyjni Konserwatyści) są w tej kwestii wyjątkowo zgodni, środowisko naukowe zachowuje sceptycyzm.
Organizacje takie jak NSPCC czy Childnet ostrzegają przed „fałszywym poczuciem bezpieczeństwa”. Argumentują, że twardy zakaz może zepchnąć młodzież do „podziemia” – na szyfrowane komunikatory czy do niszowych serwisów, gdzie nie ma żadnej moderacji. Profesor Amy Orben z Uniwersytetu w Cambridge zauważa wprost: „Wciąż nie ma silnych dowodów na to, że zakazy oparte na wieku są skuteczne”.
Co to oznacza dla nas?
Decyzja Wielkiej Brytanii może wywołać efekt domina w całej Europie. Jeśli Londyn wprowadzi te przepisy i – co ważniejsze – znajdzie techniczny sposób na ich egzekwowanie, presja na Unię Europejską (i polski rząd) będzie ogromna. Jesteśmy świadkami końca ery „Dzikiego Zachodu” w internecie. Pytanie tylko, czy budujemy płot, którego nie da się przeskoczyć, czy tylko taki, który zasłania dorosłym widok na problem.

Une Vie Nouvelle: Chapter 1:
#FanFiction #EstherAndErie by @art_of_goulwenr
#Wss366 #MastoPromptThe torn papers fluttered in the cold Atlantic wind, drifting down until they landed on the gray water, and eventually disappeared in the wake of the #Danish liner Ruritania.
Lady D’Arcy stood at the railing in a morning dress the color of the waves, dove-gray with white lace foaming at the collar and cuffs. The last of the papers left her hands as another woman joined her.
D’Arcy surveyed the woman’s gown: spring colors—too bright for chiffon, yet not bright enough for sunshine. She dismissed it at once as tasteless. The red hair earned its own judgment. “Undoubtedly Hibernian,” she thought. “Crass.”
“Mademoiselle D'Arcy. Vous vous êtes levée tôt. Peut-être pour saluer le nouveau jour et la nouvelle année?”
The woman’s French was marred by a heavy American accent and contrasted sharply with D’Arcy’s reply. “Un jour nouveau, une année nouvelle, une vie nouvelle.”
“You speak impeccable French, Mademoiselle,” the American said, switching to Albion.
“I am fortunate to have grown up with it. But you, too, have arisen early. It’s my #understanding that that’s the American way. I hear your motto is, ‘The early bird catches the worm.’ L’oiseau matinal… attrape le ver,” she said, letting her tongue linger on ver.

“Inspector Bradstreet, pray tell what business brings you here at such an hour. Entirely uninvited, I may add.” Lady D’Arcy’s mouth had set into a smile bordering on a sneer.
Bradstreet looked up at her. He would have bowed, but the boa constrictor had him tightly trussed up. “I took the liberty of letting myself in. It was meant as a surprise.” He nodded toward the box, which was large enough for him to fit comfortably inside. Next to it lay a sack from which coal had spilled.
“Hmmm.” [Tap] [Tap] [Tap]
“Might…” he began.
She held up a hand, silencing him. “I find I cannot resist admiring a burglar—police inspector, though he be—caught quite literally with his trousers down.” Bare legs, exposed between the serpent’s coils, bore evidence of his lamentable state of undress.
She toed the sack. “And this? Coal? Pray tell, have I truly been so very bad to a mere inspector?”
“Ha! The coal is meant for me. I’m a most improper elf: I smoke, I drink, and I keep the worst of company—yourself most graciously excepted, Milady.”
“I see: droll English humor. Very well, Morgane. Release the inspector.”
The serpent looked at D’Arcy, its tongue flickering as if to say, “But I was having fun.”
The coils gradually loosened, revealing the inspector’s green shirt, elf cap, and a pair of red-striped, ivory-white legs, sans trousers. Lady D’Arcy tapped the inside of Bradstreet’s naked thigh and asked, “What urgency drove you to such lengths? I appreciate your dedication to humiliation—I couldn’t have done better—but I might quite easily have shot you.”
“I wished to see you once more, perhaps for the last time.”
The crop flicked higher, producing an intake of breath accompanied by a wince. “Do you intend to remove yourself elsewhere, or have you set your sights upon some wealthy sow?” she asked.
“No, Milady. Queen of Humiliations. A consulting detective by the name of Holmes has begun sniffing about for the connection between yourself and a certain missing peer.”
The lady’s eyes grew sharp, and the inspector gasped again with more feeling. Remembering his manners, he followed with, “Thank you, Milady.”
“You will delay him until I have put my affairs in order.” She planted a foot on him. “It should take no more than a day or two.”
As she shifted her weight onto that foot, she continued, “I’ll be sure to destroy all evidence connecting us as I board an outgoing ship. Don’t fail me, worm.”
“I won’t fail, my queen. London will be a #desert of #regret without you.”
The crop flickered once more, followed by a gasp and a thank you.
Lady D’Arcy turned to leave the room, calling over her shoulder, “Come along. I find myself in need of an outlet for my displeasure.”
Bradstreet smiled and replied, “As you command, Milady.”

#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #EroticMusings 30. The elves are busyLady D’Arcy descended the stairs armed with a crop in one hand and a revolver in the other. Both objects had been handy on her bedside table. Her silk robe swished softly as she descended, starkly contrasting with her hard eyes. Aroused, a palpable haze of malice surrounded her like a dusky perfume that settled like smut behind her.
Gradually, the floor at the foot of the stairs became visible, gleaming from the reflected gaslight. First, an expensive Persian rug came into view, followed by a table for calling cards, and finally, a parlor door off to one side.
She stepped off the stairs and listened. It was silent, except for the tinkling of glass icicles hanging from her parlor Christmas tree. Then she heard, “I say, might you call this off?”
She sighed, laid the gun next to the calling cards, and entered the parlor, her riding crop tapping against her leg. Before her was a surreal scene: an enormous box wrapped in silver foil lay crumpled near a Christmas tree. Within its ruins lay a man restrained by a boa.
