  2. Je mehr Trump unternimmt, desto öfter und intensiver sollten wir uns um die Epstein-Files kümmern. So viele Seiten, so viel immer noch unveröffentlichtes Material: Die Brisanz muss immens sein, angesichts der Anstrengungen, die Trump unternimmt, um sie zu verheimlichen.

  3. More students head back to class without one crucial thing: their phones

    Sequoia Carrillo, September 1, 2025

    Excerpt: "In Texas, every public and charter school student will be without their phones during the school day this fall. Brigette Whaley, an associate professor of education at West Texas A&M University, expects to see "a more equitable environment" in classrooms with higher student engagement.

    "Last year, she tracked the success of a cell phone ban in one west Texas high school by surveying teachers throughout the year. They reported more participation by students, and also said they saw student anxiety plummet – mainly because students weren't afraid of being filmed at any moment and embarrassing themselves.

    " 'They could relax in the classroom and participate,' she said. 'And not be so anxious about what other students were doing.'

    "The findings in west Texas align with results from many of the states and districts that are heading back to school without phones: Students learn better in a #PhoneFree environment. Getting cell phones out of the classroom is a rare issue with significant bipartisan support, allowing a rapid adoption of policies across red and blue states alike.

    "Some 31 states and the District of Columbia now restrict students' use of #CellPhones in schools, according to Education Week."

  4. A quotation from Cicero

    No person is so foolish that they don’t understand that if we remain asleep at this moment we will have to live through a rule that is not only cruel and arrogant but ignoble and disgraceful too. You know this man’s arrogance, his friends, and his whole household. To serve shameful lusts, bullies, disgusting and irreverent thieves, those drunkards — well, that is the worst suffering married to the greatest dishonor.
     
    [Nemo est tam stultus qui non intellegat, si indormierimus huic tempori, non modo crudelem superbamque dominationem nobis sed ignominiosam etiam et flagitiosam ferendam. Nostis insolentiam Antoni, nostis amicos, nostis totam domum. Libidinosis, petulantibus, impuris, impudicis, aleatoribus, ebriis servire, ea summa miseria est summo dedecore coniuncta.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 3, ch. 14 / sec. 34-35 (3.14/3.34-35) (44-12-20 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2021)]

  6. Here's a question for you:

    When was the last time you plunged into something with all your senses?

    Not watching, reading, or screen scrolling.

    I'm talking about the soaking how shadows move during sunset kind of plunging.

    If you're like me, you'll struggle with an answer.

    That's why Today I wrote about how to recover focus on the blog:
