Wir verlassen X. In Hamburg sagt man Tschüss (zu Fake News, Hetze, Diskriminierung, Hatespeech & Verherrlichung von Gewalt). Der mit Musks Übernahme von Twitter eingeleitete Niedergang hat zuletzt einen nicht mehr zu tolerierenden Tiefpunkt erreicht: blog.sub.uni-hamburg.de/?p=3… #eXit

My cartoon for this week’s @GuardianBooks
ALT Image: A bedroom at night, a face is lit up by the glow of a phone screen displaying cat memes. On the book-cluttered bedside table, three books look on angrily. The lead book waves a large knife and says: "Nobody needs to get hurt... Let's just put the phone down, nice and slowly..." Caption: Bedside reading pile turns nasty

On this day in 1883, precisely at noon, North American railroads switched to a new standard time system for rail operations, called Standard Railway Time (SRT). Almost immediately, many American cities enacted ordinances, thus resulting in the creation of the time “zones.” 🧵
