Assuming you also think it's horrifying for the most powerful person in the world to label an ethnicity as "garbage", please help donate to The Somali Museum of Minnesota to help our neighbors demonstrate the beauty of their culture. www.givemn.org/story/12p1xe

@kransekage.bsky.social is here to help us celebrate BASIC INSTINCT (1992) (maybe the best erotic thriller ever?), including its origins, its spin on the femme fatale, and what the murderer REALLY wants after you unpack the mind games.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.
