Dear fellow #Indians! Why? What part of your #education, #sanskaar, #culture or #upbringing motivates you to do this? Why such contempt for other cultures? Is this some sort of #conquest #fetish?

People #travel to learn & experience #places, #cultures and #cuisine that aren't our own. You're ruining it for us too.

PS: If you're an Indian who hates this too, please fight this perversion. Or we'll all lose the privilege to experience & enjoy the world one day.

„Israel has expanded its control of the Gaza Strip to nearly 60% of the territory despite the ceasefire, as it prepares for a possible #resumption of the war, Army Radio reported on Sunday.
Senior military officials, cited by the broadcaster, said they are pressing to restart fighting, arguing that now is the optimal moment to defeat Hamas.“

⚠️ Broken Arrow launched a public PTE, a big test build with a tech overhaul and the new Conquest mode.

Tanks got a NUTS lethality buff, weak‑spot hits can now delete almost anything; AA, artillery, aviation and helos were rebalanced, SPGs split into clearer subclasses; infantry gained stealth for snipers and vehicle-based ammo resupply, and mortars can auto-fire. Conquest adds dynamic income and individual respawn timers, shifting the flo...

⚡️ Broken Arrow launched a public TEST branch with a major rebalance and an overhauled Conquest. Players can try changes and leave feedback.

Conquest now uses 500/1000/1500 thresholds: zones give fixed income and phase score‑compensation was removed. Economy is nonlinear with a 1500 cap. New systems: single‑target damage cap; transports supply troops (heal/ammo); per‑unit respawn timers and squad panic if transport dies; a 'Sneak' ste...

A Trip to the Moon

History, Artemis, and Humanity’s Space Junk

There is something almost innocent, at first glance, about Georges Méliès’s A Trip to the Moon. The painted sets, the theatrical gestures, the famous image of the capsule lodged in the eye of the moon — all of it feels whimsical, handmade, full of wonder. It bears the marks of ingenuity in their freshest form. Cinema is still young. Imagination is learning what machinery can do. Human beings are discovering that they can build not only devices, but dreams.

And yet, to watch the film closely is to feel a disturbance beneath the delight.

The voyage is not simply a journey. It is an invasion. The moon is not approached with humility or reverence, but penetrated, subdued, and turned into a stage for conquest. The lunar beings are encountered not as neighbors in wonder but as hostile “natives,” there to be struck, shattered, and overcome. The travelers return not merely with experience, but with a captive and a triumphal procession. What looks at first like fantasy reveals itself as a little parable of empire.

That is why the film still matters. It is not only an early science-fiction spectacle. It is an early warning.

Mindbogglingly tone deaf for a day like today.

I think I've had enough of American Grotesque for tonight....

Let's see if we can build a #BetterWorld tomorrow.
