If Your World Is Not Enchanted, You're Not Paying Attention

It is an English translation of a German word, Entzauberung, that means something like “de-magic-ifcation.” To say that the modern world is disenchanted is to say that it is no longer experienced as a realm of magic, mystery, or other non-human forces and agents. It also means that we inhabit a world bereft of any intrinsic meaning or purpose and which thus generates relations of alienation and exploitation.

You're always welcome here. *pats seat*

Dickless explains to his rally crowd what "grocery" means.

"It sort of means, like, everything you eat. THE STOMACH IS SPEAKING!"

The only example he could think of was "bacon".

This is a man who's never bought food for himself, or used so much as a TOASTER, in his entire life.

"Wow! Where does the bread go?"
"Got me. Isn't that WEIRD?"

MEPs in the EU Parliament greeted Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, with a rowdy rendition of the classic anti-fascist anthem Bella Ciao.

One fine morning I woke up early
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao
One fine morning I woke up early
Find the fascist at my door

My favourite version...
