Underlining the notion of European-ness, not merely nationalism, would love to see countries trading poets on their currency.
I want more of this sort of thing, but our money is somewhat more static www.changechecker.org/2024/09/20/c...

Did you know that since 2008 the UK's definitive coins can be pieced together to form the Royal Shield of Arms? Can you collect them all...

If only to ask, "How many Ellingtons do I owe you?"

I'm a big advocate for the "rotate different Great Figures from your country on the money" style that I got used to in the UK.

You could even keep the Classic Guys on one side of the money - I just want to pay for stuff with a Duke Ellington $20.

Nixon: "Never forget, the press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it."

Really makes you wish there was sosh media in the Nixon era.

The thing about this is we all have embarrassing moments of vanity, wounded or otherwise. It's that he thinks it's okay to publish his embarrassing thoughts. That's the crazy part.

Golden Rule: “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down… We want to put them in trauma.”

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?
Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Genuinely heartwarming to read all the great reviews by people who value real life: "this place has been here forever and they know everything about vacuums" wait til the kids discover physical retail they're gonna flip

Our over-a-decade-old vacuum needs a part that I could have ordered on Amazon, but fuck those guys. Found it on a physical vacuum store's website--kicker, they're located in Chicago. It's worth it to find brick-and-mortar stores and support them for a few bucks more.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back
Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
 why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

If the IDF gets to do it, so will ICE

Something that really needs to be understood is that these are the BETTER trained ICE officers. These are the people who were already agents and went through training. We haven't even seen the new batch of hires which require no qualifications and who won't be trained either.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.
Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten appearing to burst through a sheet of white paper in a dark frame. Text at the bottom reads “sauve qui peut”.

They should do a Colombian remake of Scooby Doo where the gang brings Pablo Escobar to justice and he says "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you Medellín kids"

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.
