  • It is offered with an outstretched arm, which is similar to other fascist, right-wing extremist organizations, and represents a stylized wolf’s head: the outstretched fingers are the ears, the other fingers form the snout. The deceased founder Alparslan Türkeş, who is worshipped as Başbuğ, is mystically revered.

    Grey Wolves is the name given to Turkish right-wing extremists such as members of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) or the Great Unity Party (BBP). They have committed numerous acts of violence and murders in the past, especially in the 1970s.

    In Germany, the party is represented by three umbrella organizations, which include around 303 clubs nationwide with more than 18,500 members. This makes it the largest right-wing extremist organization in Germany.





  • Thursday is a Holiday in Germany, so many will take the Friday off as a bridge-day for a long weekend. That means that Wednesday is this weeks Friday. And as we all know that “Thursday is the small Friday”, todays Tuesdays is basically the small Friday of the week and this Tuesday is almost already at lunchtime, so there is no much incentive to start things, now that the weeks is almost over. I will arrange things on my table for two more hours and then prepare on this Tuesday for next weeks Monday. PS: I am exhausted


  • My pocket cast stats: You’ve listened for 115 days 14 hours

    Honorable mentions not yet seem in this thread (English only):

    • The Guardian: The Audio long read - full articles read by real people (30-45 min.)
    • Economist: Drum Tower - China correspondence about culture and politics
    • Aquired - 3h+ episodes about tech IPO and the history of companies. Sounds boring but it gives a look behind the curtain of the tech industry from the 30s to today (fun example episode: PowerPoint)
    • WNYC: On the media - Meta talk about media topics and enshittification
    • Law and Chaos - Previously on Opening Arguments, now in their own podcast: US justice topics, GOP bashing and of course: Trump











  • How do you solve the discoverability issue? A platform gives you some place where people could stumble upon you, while a website is an island in the middle of an ocean that people have to actively browse to. Do you crosspost your new work now more to get the word seen by others? I find it hard to believe that people would like to browse to x different websites to see if an artist has new works, only to find out that they don’t. For finding new artist a central place or a feed, like a platform can provide, seems to be nearly impossible to replace.
