In an open and free society, the State or media owners knowingly propagating lies should be be considered exactly the same as them censoring the truth.

Freedom of speech is the freedom to openly debate the truth, not the freedom to control media to subvert it.

All Sane People Are Radicals Now The era of patient explanation is over. What next?

Massive civilizational paradigm shift incoming. All sane people are radicals now.

Neoliberal luddites are the real extremists. Let orthodox economics die. Bring in UBI. Compensate care work. Defend ecosystems against assault. Rewrite the legal code.

Usually someone talking about Greek Music Theory spends more time explaining why others are wrong about it than saying what it is(was).

He studied at there for 6 semesters. Shortly before his acceptance, in September, this photo was taken, showing the young artist in a suit, holding a palette and painting tools. 

Schiele is looking out of the photograph with big eyes, calmly, yet expectantly. After largely unsuccessful years at school, during which he had felt misunderstood, he was now finally able to focus on his artistic activities. His ambitions were dampened by the Academyโ€™s conservative spirit, however, which is why he left the Academy prematurely after completing his triennium in 1909. A Calling Card and a Triangular Protractor survive from his time at the Academy.

Israel's US-supported and funded genocide in Gaza has generated a massive carbon footprint, estimated to exceed the annual emissions of over 100 individual countries. And this latest foray against Iran will undoubtedly add to that deathblow against the earth.

Kids instinctively love trains, buses, boats, all kind of mass transit. Only in the US do we beat it out of them and tell them peak living is owning a depreciating asset that kills their world while using it.

Capitalism is a death cult. So is car culture.

Maybe Iran is different and the more secular, progressive people live in the rural areas and not in the urban cores that Amerisrael is war criming. Otherwise, we'd be murdering the people we are telling to rise up and we're too smart to be doing that, right? People love having no water and oil rain!

Democrats are not opposed to the war in Iran. They complain about lack of plans, clarity, not being read in, etc. They complain about procedure, NOT about the war itself. They support the war. They are not an opposition party.

You do not hate Democrats enough.

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

Spain really seems to be the post child for heterodox inflation policy, with a focus on supply-side measures, price regulation and accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels. www.euronews.com/2026/03/11/s...

the really dangerous thing about having finance and market structures completely detached from objective reality is that we used to have some faith that people wouldn't do stupid shit because doing stupid shit would tank the markets. Not anymore.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain thatโ€™s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are โ€˜just circling backโ€™ to see if we can โ€˜move the needleโ€™ on โ€˜key initiativesโ€™? NONE of those things are berries.

Don Hong-Oai was born in Canton, China, and spent most of his life in Vietnam. 

At the age of 13, he began an apprenticeship at a photo and portrait shop. When he was not at the studio, he traveled and took photographs of the landscape. 

He stayed in Vietnam through the war, but fled by boat to California in 1979. He lived in San Franciscoโ€™s Chinatown where he had a small darkroom to create his photographs. While living in the US, he returned to China every few years to make new negatives.

Hong-Oaiโ€™s style was heavily influenced by the legendary photographer Long Chin-Sanโ€™s technique of layering negatives. By taking 3 negatives, foreground, middle ground, and far ground, and selecting a subject from each negative, Don would construct a serene landscape. Each uniquely handcrafted photograph is, in its entirety, a concoction of the artist's imagination. He assembled and printed the photographs by himself, never having an assistant or master printer aid him. 

Donโ€™s work has won many international awards and has work has been collected worldwide.
