Keywords Use/mention errors, linguistic representations Abstract Azzouni seeks to identify and resolve a set of use/mention confusions both in general terms and especially as they arise in epistemology. The paper extends Azzouni's insights into linguistic theory, where similair confusions occur and which can be resolved in much the same terms as Azzouni proposes for epistemology.
Das letzte Abendmahl (2025)
Jerusalem, kurz vor dem Pessachfest: Jesus kommt noch einmal mit seinen engsten Gefährten zusammen. Was als gemeinsames Mahl beginnt, wird zu einem Abend voller unausgesprochener Konflikte und brüchiger Loyalitäten. Während draußen die politischen Fronten sich verhärten, fällt im Inneren eine Entscheidung, die alles verändern wird. (Quelle: Kinostar) Ihr Browser unterstützt kein HTML5 video.

The War on Drugs in the Philippines
It is impossible to specify the number of extrajudicial killings that have occurred in the Philippines since President Duterte announced his ‘war on drugs’ in May 2016. What is certain, however, is the disruptive impacts that these ‘strongman’ politics have had on daily life in that country. This short film shows how Philippine photojournalist Raffy Lerma has documented the human cost if this war.

Remembering For Against's Brilliant Post-Punk Classic " PopMatters
Coalesced Words on Music The first time I listened to For Against, it was a track from their bracing sophomore album December (1988). My initial impression was that I was listening to something akin to the Chameleons, especially their earliest releases, but with Mark Burgess’ muscular vocals swapped out for something equally impassioned yet also brittle, like a deadly serious version of legendary producer and Let’s Active frontman Mitch Easter.

Woodward chronicles Biden’s handling of global conflicts in fly-on-the-wall account By: Reviewed by John K. Collins Posted: 2:00 AM CST Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024 Bob Woodward shot to fame 50 years ago when he and Carl Bernstein wrote the exposé All the President’s Men, implicating President Richard Nixon in the Watergate burglary. Since then, he has written 22 best-selling books on American governance, including three on Donald Trump.
What Are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are special plant fibers that help healthy bacteria grow in your gut. This makes your digestive system work better. Both prebiotics and probiotics are good for your gut, but they help in different ways. Prebiotics are a source of food for your gut’s healthy bacteria. They’re carbs your body can’t digest. So they go to your lower digestive tract, where they act like food to help the healthy bacteria grow.
Disunity of personal taste
1 INTRODUCTION So-called “predicates of personal taste” (PPTs) are used to express a subject's experience or judgement about some thing or event, even if the subject (the judge/experiencer) is not overtly referenced in the construction in which the predicate appears. The article argues that, linguistically speaking, there is no uniform class of PPT predicate. There is an F(un)-type PPT that takes infinitive complements expressing events.

QAnon conspiracy theories’ many followers more than just the fringes of American society By: Reviewed by John K.

Anthony Edwards dunk perfectly summed up John Collins season with the Utah Jazz
John Collins is having the season to forget in Salt Lake City. By Chad Porto | Mar 19, 2024 Multiple things can be true. The Utah Jazz got John Collins for a steal from the Atlanta Hawks and was an obvious upgrade over Rudy Gay. None of that has changed. It's all still true. What's also true is that Collins was expected to have a Lauri Markkanen-like emergence in Utah, where he'd finally be healthy and able to take the reigns properly, like many expected him to do in Atlanta.
Letter: Wyden needs to get his priorities right
While watching the evening news recently there was extensive coverage of some serious issues that are facing the country right now. Among the topics were our military involvement in the Middle East, the southern border, and destructive weather in some parts of the country, subjects that I would think would be high priorities and generate the attention and action of all of our elected leaders.

Ione Belarra: To Stop Genocide in Palestine, We Must Use Our Heads and Our Hearts — Weave News
As part of my commitment to bringing justice-oriented voices from Spain to a broader audience, especially in the context of the ongoing struggle for justice in Palestine, I am providing this English translation of remarks made by Ione Belarra, leader of the leftist Podemos party and Minister of Social Rights in the Spanish government between 2021 and 2023.

Miguel Urbán: The Palestinian Struggle is Our Struggle in Europe — Weave News
And this is what we are proposing here. But we have seen that the highest European authorities - the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, and let’s not forget the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola - traveled to Israel to give the Israeli authorities a blank check. At no time did they talk about war crimes. At no time did they even talk about Palestinian victims.
Spanish journalist Olga Rodriguez: “They want the massacre of the Palestinian people to be normalized” — Weave News
At the same time, we see how the United States since the first day has claimed Israel’s right and duty to defend itself, and there has been no condemnation of the Israeli crimes. That’s what is happening these days. When Brazil presents a sensible resolution with a condemnation of the Hamas attacks, calling for peace talks, calling for humanitarian corridors, calling for a ceasefire, the United States votes against it, vetoes it. We see constantly that there is a double standard.
“This is not a defense”: Retired Spanish General on Israel’s War in Gaza — Weave News
As Israel continues its brutal assault on Gaza, I continue to be struck by the difference between some of the news coverage here in Spain (as imperfect as it is) and the coverage I am used to seeing back home in the U.S. In my previous article, I wrote about the Spanish public television program La Noche en 24H and the interview they aired with former International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo.
Media Confronting Genocide: Open Discussions vs. “Shadow Bans” — Weave News
As I noted in my recent report on Madrid’s October 15, 2023 Palestine solidarity march, protesters here in Spain have been seeking to focus attention on the genocidal aspects of Israel’s actions in Gaza. “No es una guerra, es un genocidio!” (“It’s not a war, it’s a genocide”) is one of the most common slogans heard at these solidarity events.
Rising Concerns About Hacktivism in Israel-Hamas Conflict
Hacktivist groups have asserted responsibility for launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and defacement attacks on Israeli websites in response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Cybersecurity experts now warn about the potential for more significant and impactful attacks. According to a report by Radware, Israel experienced 143 DDoS attacks from October 2 to October 10, making it the primary target during that timeframe.
“Israel Kills, Europe Sponsors!”: Spaniards Mobilize for Palestine, Call Out EU Complicity — Weave News
Calls to hold Europe accountable Of particular interest, however, were the chants that sought to focus attention on the role of the EU and many member governments in enabling Israeli state violence against Palestinians. Cries of “Israel asesina, Europa patrocina!” (“Israel kills, Europe sponsors!”) echoed through the air as the crowd wound its way toward Sol, where the 2011 anti-austerity indignados movement (known in Spain as 15-M) began.

Corporate Media Outlets Are Obscuring Settler Colonialism in Their Gaza Coverage
Part of the Series Struggle and Solidarity: Writing Toward Palestinian Liberation Much of the mainstream U.S. coverage of the recent Hamas attacks in Israel and Israel’s escalating war on Gaza — such as former New York Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief Steven Erlanger’s October 9 analysis piece or NPR reporter Juliana Kim’s story of the same day — focused heavily on the Israeli security establishment’s alleged failures of anticipation or comprehension vis-á-vis Hamas.
Oxford a pipeline for U.K.’s ruling caste
In a brilliant backhanded compliment, Simon Kuper praises Canada for being one of the most socially developed countries in the world — and then goes on to say that this is because we don’t have any world-beating universities. Kuper, a Financial Times columnist, is contrasting Canada with the United Kingdom, which has some of the world’s most renowned universities, including Oxford. Yet those Britons born poor are more likely to remain poor, and those born rich are more likely to remain rich.
