“Death to the IDF”
“Free Palestine”
“From the river to the sea”
Beautiful video!
Guy's name is Bob Vylan and he puts out some bangers.
"White folks love quoting Martin Luther / 'Cause he held hands and prayed while they bombed his building / Good for him but the times have changed / And don't forget, white folks still killed him"
(Song is "Pretty Songs")
Idk if any of y'all know of Lexi Alexander, but she was banned on Bluesky two days ago. She's a leftist, Palestinian-American filmmaker (she directed Punisher Warzone and some other, more niche movies) who's been outspoken against the genocide in Palestine. Doubt anyone here has any illusions about Bluesky being any better than Twitter, since they've been banning Palestinians & leftists without warning & making space for TERFs and white supremacists for ages now, but...
Update: Lexi was unbanned. First thing she reposted was a video of Bob Vylan's "death, death to the IDF" chant. Queen.
Contemplating going back to my home town Tuesday to form an anti racist protest as a reaction of Geert Wilders and his anti immigrant protest over there. But it's at 6 and I have a job and it's over an hour drive so probably won't make it. Just hope others are able to then.
Another stabbing in the city. This time a guy got stabbed by a woman after allegedly harrassing her friend. Which, if true, based of course.
Why do I feel like there will be a prade of people saying the harrasment is bad but it should not be a death sentence... and that he should have gone without consiquinces starting now
If anyone ever wants to know something about the cluster fuck that is Belgian politics:
Belgium is devided into a Dutch speaking part and a French speaking part. As a result, most parties have grown into a Dutch side or a French side. This can lead to either one being elected for government. This is now the case with the socdems. The Dutch part of Vooruit is elected to rule with the neolibs while their French part PS is not. Vooruit is going along with the budget cuts while PS is fighting against it. Literally fighting against their own party.
They even share the same building in Brussels. Can you imagine having to work on finding ways to do opposition while possibly sitting next to your coworker working on government plans?
This just leads to the question, of why would you opt to split your party like this. All it does is puts you at a disadvantage, your on the hook for all the terrible things that are done AND you still opposed any good thing your party was able to force through
I don't understand either. Out party doesn't do it and remains one party throughout the country. Much easier.
So Jeff Bezos can rent out the entire city of Venice for his wedding and all the media are so quirky about it like it's not a fucking bizarre thing to do
Its funny that he is going to be divorced in like 2-3 years tops anyways.
Depending on the prenup Jeff Bezos might enter history known as the man that is responsible for one of the richest woman on earth, twice.
I often wonder what life in the DPRK is like and today I figured: someone must have uploaded some google maps pictures. And there are indeed some photos from ground level DPRK and it's really cool to see.
I am shocked google allowes decent photos from the DPRK to be honest
I checked and now I wonder how does google access data about the weather in each city in there...
Probably not too difficult from satellite. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a delay between reported weather and actual weather if it's just satellite with no ground telemetry.
I wouldn't be surprised if NK offered weather data publicly either. That kind of thing is important for shipping/trade.
it's so clean, even the countryside looks clean.
libs will look at pictures of the DPRK with its clean streets, people riding bicycles, no ugly ads plastered all over, etc. and think "this is hell"
Thought I had about liberal individualism: It's well-illustrated by the scene from the movie Office Space, where the boss is chastising the employee about her flair and people who do the "bare minimum." Because of policy, he can't just tell her to wear more flair than the minimum, but he still very much wants her to do so, so rather than getting the policy changed (which would be "restrictive" and go against the concept of "being yourself"), he tries to convince her through repeated shaming and browbeating and talking around it. The whole thing centers around him trying to convince her that she wants to be someone who wears more flair and comes off very passive-aggressive because it has no real understanding or respect for her as a person, only this sort of facade of respect that is grudgingly given.
I think it also fits well with the notion about "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds." Because it helps show how underneath liberal individualism, there is this aggressive desire for conformity and adherence to a strict way of being. But the norms of liberalism say you're not supposed to directly pursue that, lest you become "authoritarian", so people find passive-aggressive ways to pursue it instead. End result being you get this confused cocktail of mixed messages, where you're simultaneously being told you should live your life how you want to live it, while also being told you better only live it within a very narrow framework.
Spanish should be the Lingua Franca of the Americas, seeing as it's the most spoken language there. An Argentinian or Ecuadorian should be able to go to Milwaukee or Saskatoon and talk to the people there in Spanish. I hate English language imperialism.
Lingua Franca? More like Lengua Hispana am I right
Oddly enough the only place that seems to be fighting English impearialism at all is Qubec in (Mostly) English speaking Canada
But they are trying to make people speak FRENCH, which is arguably worse and a war crime.
There's this absolutely brain dead tv show in The Netherlands on the most stupid tv channel there is but one of the people in it is called El Che. That's his first name and I'm only slightly jealous.
funny fact, "El Che" literally means "a dude"
"I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."
I looked it up. According to him, Che is because there was a character in "Goede tijden, slechte tijden" with that name and El is because of Elvis Presley.
Despicable Me playing in a DPRK taxi 😂🇰🇵
f35 in the header image?
All the article said was war plane, some sorces say F-35 I ak not going to make that claim, not sure it looks quite right
China–DPRK Friendship Passed Down Through Generations — Stamp Album 🇰🇵🇨🇳
I had a dream that I was on vacation in the DPRK
The Israeli ambassador came to visit Belgian parliament today for some reason and one of our MPs went off on her saying they are a genocidale state and that their lies to everyone will not prevent a Free Palestine and that their leaders will end up where they belong: in jail
1 in 4 Dutch people are now afraid to wear sun screen because they think it gives them cancer. Instead they just bake in the giant ball of radiation in the sky without protection.
I guess this is Darwinism but the stupidity of so many people is frightening.
Many, if not most, sunscreens use certain ingredients that breakdown in UV light and produce carcinogens that can be absorbed by the skin. It was a relatively large exposé a few years ago. My doctor has equally told me that the sun isn't the primary factor in whether you get cancer and people without the genetic predisposition for skin cancer aren't going to get it from sun exposure.
Not that I don't wear sunscreen, but I select my sunscreen very very carefully and review the latest consumer research on cancer-causing ingredients.
