‘God, you’re hot’ Tennessee school board member says to student during board meeting
Hello all! I am just coming to the end of the fantastic Culture series by Iain M Banks and I am looking for recommendations for similar books/authors. I have also enjoyed James S A Corey’s The Expanse books so if anyone has a good recommendation for similar sci-fi books it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
But think of the children!
These are the same people who push things like age verification, and banning porn. The really worse part about this, despite his hand-waving “I didn’t mean to offend anyone” bullshit, is that this apparently has become so normalized that this has become something that is taking a large amount of effort and time to resolve (if it ever gets resolved).
In any normal timeline, this a) would have never happened so publicly, and 2) he would’ve been immediately removed and stepped down in shame.
But here we are: the Dark Ages pt. 2. Their masks are off, and they are leaving their shame behind. This is our new normal.
La crisi consiste appunto nel fatto che il vecchio muore e il nuovo non può nascere: in questo interregno si verificano i fenomeni morbosi piú svariati.
Now is the time of monstrous acts
You might think history teaches; it repeats;
page after page, a poem in perfect rhyme
tolls echoing bells from both sides of the sheets
for births and funerals, tells the time
of ageless Alice, Hamlet’s fallacies—
the latest light from vanished galaxies.
As Antonio Gramsci would put from his prison cell while wondering why Italy became Fascist without people putting up a fight.
History teaches, but it has no pupils
We fell to the same thing, we let the wealthy define our culture. Our culture is now that of being cruel and taking. And people wish to be popular and wealthy more than moral or right. So we shift towards their world and act like them, till we have the cruelty in our own hearts.
