Die Psychologie hinter Online-Kommentaren.

Obama und Merkel reden auf den Facebook-Chef ein, die Witwe eines toten US-Soldaten verklagt Twitter. Ständig diskutieren wir über unsere »Debattenkultur«. Dabei wissen wir sehr genau, warum Diskussionen missglücken. Schuld sind wir selbst, sagen die Psychologen. Also auch Sie. Das Gute daran ist: Wir können es besser machen.

Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando: Der Gaulschreck im Rosennetz.

Eigentlich beginnt alles ganz harmlos: Der patriotische Jaromir von Eynhuf beschließt, seinem Landesvater zu dessen Regierungsjubiläum seine Milchzahnsammlung zu verehren.

The origins of the high five, and its inventor – an unsung gay pioneer.

But perhaps even more fascinating than the high five’s impromptu, exuberant birth is the story of its inventor: MLB’s first openly gay player. The extraordinary story of a largely unsung pioneer, The High Five revisits Burke’s life, a man who quietly challenged traditional notions of masculinity decades before lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender athletes in professional sports became headline news.
