Gr@ntlɘr wrote that without X one learns nothing about the destruction of the 150-year-old town hall of Limoges. He compared the extent to previous destructions by the Islamic State and stated that, according to Tagesschau, this time protesters against high living costs as well as possibly students or Yellow Vests had damaged the building. The campanile and the roof were lost, and the facade was largely destroyed. In his view, politics and media largely remained silent about the culprits and the extent of the damage. He concluded by asking if this was the "new normal." #Kulturdenkmäler #Zerstörung #Politik (translated)

Gr@ntlɘr wrote that what was shown is neither a computer game nor AI or a group of needy students.

Moreover, he wrote that it could unsettle people. #Kultur #Gesellschaft #Medien (translated)

Alexander Teske wrote that in the days before his reading from "Inside Tagesschau" there were attempts to discredit him and prevent the event. The reading took place the day before as part of the "Week of Press Freedom" at the public libraries in Hamburg. Teske thanked the organizers for standing firm on the event. He found the exchange to be beneficial, although he felt somewhat emotionally attacked at times and some guests had made their presence known through interjections. Additionally, he thanked a former colleague for her presence and especially for her critical contributions. Such evenings were exhausting for him, Teske wrote, because he had the impression that some wanted to close their eyes to reality. #Pressefreiheit #Medien #Lesung (translated)
