I've always been fascinated by these Brutalist war memorials in the former Yugoslavia. They're featured heavily in Jóhann Jóhannsson's 2020 film, Last and First Men which is based on the Olaf Stapledon novel.
"Perception sometimes is people's reality," Barnes said. "And you know, one photo of your back turned to the wrong person could give the impression that we are supporting one side or the other." In fact, an official review found SPD showed bias against pro-LGBTQ counter-protesters.
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters
Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

Technocapitalists’ great trick is to make people who hate all this bullshit feel like they’re suffering from the same fogeys-not-coping-with-a-changing-world syndrome every generation succumbs to, rather than, say, just rejecting a rampant evil that seeks to rob us of our individuality and soul.
Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

it's awesome how much money grocery chains are willing to spend on Theft Deterring Infrastructure like chest high traffic gates and "AI"-augmented cameras and riot-geared rentacops, but they absolutely refuse to pay for more than one cashier to man their four dusty checkout lanes at any given time.

I do appreciate cis advocates of trans healthcare, especially in these times, but I do wish more of them would let go of the "experts know best" framing. I'm aware it's safe, palatable, sellable, but there's a century of "experts" torturing, converting, and sexually abusing trans people. So.
