That, and this one too.

Image of a post in which Tom Morello responds to some guy ironically calling him "another successful musician [who] instantly becomes a political expert". Morello's answer reads: "One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University to recognize the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University so I can confirm that for you".

Absolutely love this twitter classic:

Exchange between two twitter users. A man called Scott Castaneda write to Tom Morella, "I use to be a fan until your political opinions come out. Music is my sanctuary and the last thing I want to hear is political bs when I'm listening to music. As far as I'm concerned you and pink are completely done. Keep running your mouth and ruining your fan base." User Howard Finklestein replies, "What 'machine' did you think he was raining against? The dishwasher?"

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

Ah yes, the terrifying streets of “war-ravaged Portland”.

The absurdity of this so-called “occupation” is perfectly captured here: riot cops with guns and shields, made ridiculous by a Victorian tea party on the sidewalk.

Victorian tea party calmly outclassing riot cops in full battle gear.👇

After every war
someone has to clean up.
Things won’t
straighten themselves up, after all.
Someone has to push the rubble
to the side of the road,
so the corpse-filled wagons
can pass
Someone has to get mired
in scum and ashes,
sofa springs,
splintered glass,
and bloody rags

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers.
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too rough fingers
Of the world.

someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.

Jag har kåda i håret och vind i kjolen
och är nästan förblindad av morgonsolen.
Jag har visor i själen och dans i tårna
och försmädliga tårar i ögonvrårna.

Klart att alla risker inte kan elimineras men man vill ta bort dem största, eller hur? Hur kan man leva om något går jättefel? Till ex döden eller syrebrist med bestående konsekvenser? Jag har så svårt att förstå behovet av att ha en viss upplevelse hemma kontra resten av livet med vetskap att

“Min kropp vet hur man föder barn”

Denna naivitet, denna riskignorerande naivitet. Hjärtat vet hur det ska slå men det finns hjärtstopp. Livmoder “vet” att den ska dra ihop sig men låter bli. Kroppen “vet” hur man reglerar blodsocker men ibland låter bli göra det.

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

Winston Churchill and his bride, Clementine Hozier, emerge from St. Margaret's Church, Westminster after their wedding. Date: 12 September 1908

This is an old sepia-toned photograph showing a wedding scene from the early 1900s.

In the center stands a bride dressed in a long, elegant white gown with a flowing veil and a tiara. She is holding a bouquet of flowers and is stepping forward carefully, as if about to enter or exit a carriage. Her expression appears calm and slightly smiling.

Around her are several men dressed formally — most wearing dark suits, white shirts, and top hats, while a few are in military uniforms with caps.

Var tvungen att gå in på LinkedIn (don’t try this at home, or at work) och hittade då detta som en gammal kollega delat. 2 av 57 frågor som hennes 20-åriga son som sökte jobb på Pressbyrån skulle svara på i samband med ansökan.

Vad i hela…???

Fråga 1:

Om du imorgon skulle springa ett maratonlopp eller delta i ett schackmästerskap, skulle du då vinna över världsmästaren om du verkligen gick in för det?

Svarsalternativ:

NEJ JA

Fråga 2:

Har du någonsin varit sjuk, t ex varit förkyld, haft influensa eller liknande?

Svarsalternativ:
