If you can look past the foolish title, this is a fairly good introduction to Lou Andreas-Salomé's wide-ranging and often paradoxical thinking. I hope some people who watch the video will go on to learn more about her writings.

Follow-up from my previous post: We need someone like Cuomo was during the pandemic - a televised conference every day, telling the public about the reality and what needed, fueling public opposition & action. Schumer's an anachronism; Jeffries is great but wedded to the legislative inside game.

Looks like Trump wants to become the "Lebensraum President." What's that, he might ask? Something great about me? Or some woke type word? No, Donald - go look it up.

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.
As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?

The NBER's analysis of 100 yrs of income and enrollment data from 65 of the most selective universities in the US is hard to misinterpret, writes @liamknox.bsky.social. "America’s top colleges are no less elitist now than they were during the Roaring Twenties." www.insidehighered.com/news/admissi...
No change in elite college low-income enrollment since 1920s
A comprehensive new study found that the socioeconomic makeup of highly selective colleges is roughly the same as it was a century ago, even as access to higher education has exploded.

New in PN: Trump's corruption of the DOJ goes much deeper than Gaetz
"The Gaetz nomination is a giant middle finger to anyone who believes in the rule of law. But Trump's nominees for other key DOJ roles are potentially even more dangerous for democracy."

Mandate? Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824.
4 Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried—compared to zero in 16 and 20.
GOP poised for its smallest House majority since the U.S. had 50 states.
