Faschisten hören niemals auf, Faschisten zu sein
Man diskutiert mit ihnen nicht, hat die Geschichte gezeigt

James Joyce published his first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man #OTD in 1916.

Joyce had spent nearly 10 years in Trieste trying to get his fiction published when, near the end of 1913, he learned that both of the books he had written would be published. Dubliners came out the following year (1914), and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was published on this day in 1916.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is available at PG:

Habe gelesen, Schäuble wäre ein großer Demokrat gewesen.

Tja. Und ich dachte, er wäre an einem der größten Korruptionsskandale der CDU beteiligt gewesen.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As folks gather at the birthplace of Wikileaks #37c3, I wonder who will raise the alarm that #DDoSecrets needs donations to continue? https://donorbox.org/ddosecrets-five-years-later Wikileaks hasn't published a leak since 2019, while DDoSecrets has published millions of documents. But the Germans like to pretend history ended when Julian got arrested. The leaks didn't stop, it's just the funding for the leaks kept going to the bloated ancestor, instead of going to the active publisher. Who will archive and publish leaks when #DDoSecrets runs out of funding? Unclear, but don't expect to see anything new from WL.
