Sehr schöner FIlm: Nothing Personal.
Man muss sich (...) einlassen auf den langen Atem dieses Films, der sich genauso behutsam an das Wagnis einer Beziehung herantastet wie die Protagonisten. Diese scheinen beide den Schmerz zu fürchten, der mit jedem Sich-Einlassen verbunden ist. So wird das erste Lächeln zu einem revolutionären Ereignis, das gemeinsame Essen zu einer Zeitenwende.
Autodrom und Zuckerwatte: FM4 Field Recordings aus dem Wiener Wurstelprater.
In einer kontrollierten, leistungsorientierten Welt laut zu kreischen und zu schreien, ohne dass es um echte Bedrohung geht – das ist also das Lustprinzip von Grusel und Achterbahn. Es funktioniert. Ich weiß, dass die Monster, die mich aus dem Dunkeln akustisch anfallen, nur einfach gebaute mechanische Puppen sind, aber es ist eine pure Freude, laut aufzuschreien, wenn sie dämonisch lachen.
Now might be the best time to learn software development.
“Go become fine steaks and leathers!!” one boss in a stetson will yell, and the cows will oblige. Devs will take the lonely road into the sunset, and historical romance novels will rightly remember us as rugged and sexy.
Vibe coding FTW.

Who Is to Say Modern Yoga Practitioners Have It All Wrong? On Hindu Origins and Yogaphobia.
A growing movement courts fear of contemporary popularized forms of modern yoga, warning that yoga is essentially Hindu. Christian protesters, whose position is identified as the Christian yogaphobic position, warn about the dangers of yoga given the perceived incompatibility between its Hindu essence and Christianity. Some add that yoga's popularization threatens the Christian essence of American culture. Hindu protesters, whose position is identified as the Hindu origins position, criticize popularized forms of yoga for failing to recognize yoga's Hindu origins and illegitimately co-opting yoga for the sake of profit. This article demonstrates that these positions are strikingly similar insofar as they are polemical, prescriptive, and share Orientalist and reformist strategies, and suggests that the two protesting positions emerge as much from the cultural context—that is, consumer culture—that they share with popularized forms of modern yoga as from a desire to erect boundaries between themselves and modern yogis.
