A beautiful and emotional story that has a lot of great complicated perspective on wearing hijab, plus a lot of Egyptian historical and cultural details that I didn't know anything about.

"In order to make a revolution, you have to discard the notion that anything one has previously regarded as truth about human beings is necessarily true. Revolution is an effort to discover or to create truth, not to prove what is true. [...] The highest level of human creativity is the constant developing and advancing of your vision."
Joshua and Grace Lee Boggs, Revolution and Evolution in the Twentieth Century
I get that everyone loves the guillotine imagery right now, but it's probably worth reminding everyone that The Terror wasn't a leftist thing. It was a centrist thing. The French Revolution wasn't a socialist revolution, it was a Liberal revolution. The Jacobins were radical liberals.
There's an ideological rythme and meter that flows through history. Where Robespierre killed those to his right but killed far more to his left, so has the Liberal state always done exactly the same. And where the result of murdering away the left ended with a reactionary dictatorship in France, so has the American Revolution ultimately played out more slowly but with the same results. Not with guillotines but with prisons, not with the Committee of Public Safety but with the FBI and COINTELPRO.

Okay, I'll just say it. The problem with the "new" Butthole Surfers album is of course it isn't new, it's just an official release of the album that would become The Weird Revolution. Almost all of the songs are the same or similar. Fans have had After the Astronaut for years, since the early 2000s. 🙄 Just wish it was REALLY new material. What, Weird Revolution didn't have Junkie Jenny in Gaytown? I know. But it's all everywhere already.

Why is war so economically costly?
Our answer is that modern war lowers output not only by destroying productive factors,
but also by making the surviving economy work less efficiently
Our key policy implication is that restoring allocative efficiency
–and preparing institutional arrangements that facilitate rapid reallocation in times of stress
–is critical for sustaining economic capacity, defense, and national security.

Historiker Magnus Brechtken hat im FAZ-Interview einen Vorschlag gegen Ost-West-Frust: einfach mal mit Geschichtsfakten um die Ohren hauen.
