Good.
Really interesting analysis, plus clear enough for a layperson like me to follow. Thanks!
Great speech by Barack Obama celebrating Jesse Jackson, effortlessly sailing between conversational humour and high oratory. Chef’s kiss!
Fab show! I brought a friend who was equally enthralled.
Yes, but even at the time, I was thinking: none of the students will care about this huge effort because in their view, they’re buying a product. Totally predictable, yet another unintended consequence of making students pay for education rather than the taxpayer.
Feudal serfs.
"Media veterans looking to join a groundbreaking publication will receive a plot of land to tend and protect in exchange for publishing ten articles per week and complete loyalty to the Crown."
Art on the street, because murder is on the street.
Every day brings a fresh opportunity to marvel at what the f*** is wrong with people.
This makes me want to scream, but I’m too exhausted by all the pointless stupidity to try. This is my council. Hope we vote these people out before they do even more damage.
Petty-minded destruction.
When kings were less nasty…
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
Text from Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism, "The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy."
The reason why they're still pressing ahead is not because they have some secret plan, but the pretty classic Umberto Eco fascist-folly - because of their ideology they are "constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy."
Well yeah, certainly possible…😞
This is extremely similar to your previous post with the sentence: “Believe what you see.” Deleted. This looks like you have been censored.
There are so many ways that the US has become scary. See below for yet another shocker.
Excellent.
Evergreen advice.
Fantastic satire, sadly.
A photograph Robert Jenrick being painted over by Mickey Mouse
Yeah, but I reckon even that might be a reach. *sighs in timid realpolitik*
Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year
Hard agree.
BBC bias 😁
I don’t think that’s how learning to swim works.
I’d be sad about that, even though tricolons can indeed be boring - especially if that’s the only rhetorical device the writer/speaker feels confident using.
“Already had”, jeez. If only there was an edit function.
I went dancing at that nightclub in 1995! It had all the already whiff of yesteryear- the matt black décor of the Soviet era sophistication. Feeling nostalgic now.
