Oettle berichtet über einen Hundeangriff mit Schusswaffengebrauch in #Ulm – und zeigt nebenbei die Parallelen zwischen seiner persönlichen Hundeaversion und den Befindlichkeiten des deutschen Michels auf. #Satire #UlmDonau

Schusswaffengebrauch und Hundeführerschein: Hunde in den Zoo!
Die Mainstreammedien schweigen das Thema Tod – Cornelius W. M. traut sich: Lesen Sie hier die Wahrheit über Hundekriminalität.

I appreciate the idea that you can respond to tickets really fast, but when it is obvious some sort of LLM is being used to respond and not answering the question asked, it is worse.

Calamus 24 I hear it is charged against me
This poem feels just so typically Whitman, but lesser somehow. Not one of my favorites.
He says he is "charged that I seek to destroy institutions". Charged by whom, one wonders, is he really so important? He sort of denies this, or is ambivalent to it, and then gets to the queer part:
I will establish ... the institution of the dear love of comrades
And here we are again at the central queer question: just what does he mean by "dear love of comrades"? As I read these poems I'm increasingly thinking it's both things. Sure, it's brotherly love, adhesiveness, a sort of robust fraternity. But so much of his writing and life is homoerotic it has to also have that charge. It can be both.
I feel like I've heard that phrase "the institution of the dear love of comrades" repeated often.

Ich bin an dem Punkt, wo ich einfach gern eine halbwegs funktionierende freiheitlich-demokratische, rechtsstaatliche Regierung hätte. Wo diese mit meinen persönlichen Überzeugungen und Vorstellungen übereinstimmt, ist mir inzwischen (beinahe) egal.

I've really been moved by Edward White's death and the tributes to him being written. His books have meant a lot to me as a gay man. I wrote a blog post with more links, many also shared on @…

What is this nonsense?

Plex has tried to trick me twice in the last month into agreeing to the abusive data sharing agreement that I first refused in March.

Calamus 23 This moment as I sit alone
A promise of global unity, Whitman sharing his adulation for men in other countries.
I guess this is an antidote to Whitman's nationalism? His celebrations of America seem sweet and sincere but they are very American-centric. Here he's explicitly saying men of other lands can be just as wise, beautiful, or benevolent as American men. It seems unusual that he feels he has to say it explicitly.
As for the queer reading, his conclusion is
I know we should be brethren and lovers
There's that word, "lovers". It's so brash it's hard to understand. It seems uncharacteristically direct even understanding Whitman as a gay poet. Maybe this is some 19th century romantic language, mixing what feels very gay in with a more general celebration of brotherhood? Or maybe it is literally what it says, Whitman eroticizing international men.
