Today in Labor History July 3, 1883: Franz Kafka was born. He died at age 40, of tuberculosis, before any of his major works were published. He was born to a middle-class, German-Czech Jewish family, but declared himself an atheist by the time he was a teen. As a young man, he participated in the Klub mladých, a Czech anarchist, anti-militarist, and anti-clerical organization. Supposedly, he wore a red carnation to school to show his support for socialism. Much of his fiction explores themes of alienation, guilt and power, and is often characterized by protagonists faced with bizarre and often incomprehensible bureaucratic nightmares. His own life was filled with anxiety and self-doubt that provoked him to burn roughly 90% of his own manuscripts, and much of the 10% that survived was lost or never published. In his will, he instructed his friend, and fellow writer, Max Brod, to destroy his work. Brod ignored this request and helped get “The Trial,” “The Castle,” and “America” published. In 1962, the film version of “The Trial” came out, starring Anthony Perkins as Joseph K, screenplay and directed by Orson Welles. Most film historians and buffs place Welle’s “Citizen Kane near, or at, the top of the list for all-time greatest films ever made. However, Welles considered this film to be even better. And I agree.

Ach, Kafka....

Während meine Verstand glaubt,
Kafka winken zu sehen,
dreht sich mein Herz einfach weg,
träumt sich nach "Casablanca"
und hört Rick Blaines Worte:
"Ich seh' dir in die Augen, Kleines."

Habt einen schönen Tag, ihr Lieben, 🧡
vielleicht etwas gefühlsentspannter als meiner...☀️

Die #Kafka-Serie ist aktuell wieder in der ARD-Mediathek!

ardmediathek.de/serie/kafka/st

www.ardmediathek.deKafka - Staffel 1 der Serie - jetzt streamen!Kafkas Schriften sind seltsam und dunkel, seine Persönlichkeit ist kompliziert, sein Einfluss unvermindert. Doch ohne seinen besten Freund hätte die Welt nie von ihm erfahren. Franz Kafka (Joel Basman), geboren 1883 in Prag, ist ein komplizierter Mann: Mit den Frauen hat er es nicht leicht, ins Büro geht er ungern, und sein tyrannischer Vater Hermann (Nicholas Ofczarek) macht ihm das Leben schwer. Seine Leidenschaft ist das Schreiben – Nacht für Nacht arbeitet er an seinen dunklen Geschichten. Franz’ bester Freund, der Autor Max Brod (David Kross), glaubt fest an Kafkas Genie und tut alles, um ihn als Schriftsteller bekannt zu machen – auch gegen dessen Willen. Das Genie Kafkas wird aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven erzählt.

Another amusing and absurd fact from the German unemployment bureaucracy is that you are not allowed to work on open-source projects while unemployed, because it's "work", and people that work don't receive unemployment benefits.

Getting a bit defensive, I argued it's less like work and more like training for getting a job, and I've been told that it's the same, if I'm taking part in training that *they* haven't provided for me, then that's also considered as reason to not being "unemployed".
