In my latest academic publication I propse to supplement the concept of dated film (Jamie Baron), which encompasses cultural and aesthetic datedness, by ideological datedness.

Films of the Soviet period now constitute our “new cinema”.

Unser Tipp für alle, die nach Gießen fahren:
Diese Gesichter gehören zu Personen aus dem rechtsextremistischen "Reporter"-Kreis. Sie haben Pseudo-Presseausweise und sind vor allem daran zu erkennen, dass sie mit ihren Smartphones streamen. NICHT mit ihnen diskutieren, am besten Maske tragen.

Vairāk par vārdu un tā izrunu meklējiet livonian.tech/meklesanas-r..., ierakstot vārdu “niksōrali”.

To learn more about this word and hear its pronunciation go to livonian.tech/en/search-re... and search for “niksōrali”.

#līvõkēļ
At the top of the image is the Livonian word "niksōrali". Below it are its Latvian translation "degunradzis" and its English translation "rhinoceros". In the middle of the image is an example sentence using the word in Livonian: Jedālāfrikõs um jemīņ niksōraliži äbku Pūojkurāmōl. Below the Livonian sentence on the left is its Latvian translation: Dienvidāfrikā ir vairāk degunradžu nekā Ziemeļkurzemē. Below the Livonian sentence on the right is its English translation: There are more rhinoceroses in South Africa than in northern Courland. On the bottom right is the hashtag: #līvõkēļ

Do you remember this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

[President Trump]:
Well, I haven't heard it, but that's a standard thing. He's got to sell this to Ukraine, he's got to sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does.
