part of what got south korea out under the thumb of authoritarian dictatorships and to real elections (1987) and free and fair ones (1992) were large, mass protests and demonstrations.

which is such an anodyne way of describing what happened. it makes it sound bloodless.

it wasn't.
my country elected a fascist 10 years ago and he's now arguably the most unpopular pm we've ever had and we still can't get rid of him because once a fascist gets into power, typically you do not get them out without a whole lot of mass violence. Don't be like us.

my favorite thing about this entire thread and the replies is that it's a bunch of non-koreans arguing about how koreans actually feel

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

“But if queerness and Palestine have the potential to reshape the world… the main obstacle to both is a global order that prioritizes the dominance of one group at the expense of another’s existence.”

Brilliant counterpoint to genocide apologists’ cynical tokenization of the LGBTQ community.
Why Palestine Matters So Much to Queer People
Palestinian identity can “upend the whole world order, if done right, if spun right, if we activate it enough. And I think queerness is a very similar kind of identity.”

sorry for the incorrect terminology, given that this was an ad in europe

last sentence should read:

"omnicom is about to lynx 4k more human jobs..."
the agency that pushed this is tbwa, an omnicom network

omnicom just bought ipg, making it the largest marketing company in the world by about ~$10bn in revenue over the next.

omnicom is about to axe 4k more human jobs and kill off fcb and ddb while ramping up ai investment
It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

You're missing the forest for the trees. Open source code doesn't prevent cultural norms from forming. When prominent projects bundle ideology with infrastructure, that becomes the expected pattern. ..

part of what makes airports like singapore's changi, korea's seoul-incheon, japan's tokyo (haneda) and tokyo (narita), and france's paris (cdg) regularly the "best airport experience in the world" is that the countries they're in invest heavily into infrastructure

the us... does not.

when you're a diasporic korean of 8 years old on your second visit to korea, your uncles may take you to the independence hall museum, and at some point you might see life-size animatronics of brutal tortures used by the japanese occupiers like confinement boxes

and you will have nightmares after
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.

Time after time, these tribunals are uncovering the abuse of trans people by 'figureheads' backed by far-right & anti-gender movements. Often these cases are based on dodgy funding, fabrication, prejudice, hate, and the egos of deluded zealots determined to eradicate a marginalised group.

The practical effect of overturning Humphrey’s will be that Republican presidents can stack the formerly independent agencies with their copartisans and SCOTUS will be cool with everything they do but when a Dem POTUS does the same Roberts et al will declare all those agencies’ actions unlawful.
In a memo John Roberts wrote just 4 yrs out of law school, he said the “time may be ripe to reconsider the existence” of independent agencies & bring them back into the executive branch. Now he’s poised to end what he has long called “a constitutional anomaly.”

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
