Spring has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere, and even Chile's Atacama Desert is blossoming. Known as the driest nonpolar desert, it's now covered in flowers due to heavy rains from the El Niño weather pattern earlier this year.

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

So what we have here from the Union perspective (IMO) is this - Member gets suspended. That's a big deal, go find out the details. Member claims its discrimination, thats terrible, get stuck into the paperwork. Realise this is not discrimination, its a conduct charge.

FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

this isn't conjecture. This is the EXACT reason why one of the quickest ways to shut down a fash with a camera is to start shouting: "this video is brought to you by SquareSpace!" INSTANT demonitization. Because the streaming/social platforms already protect their advertisers more than the state.

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

"Does Israel have a right to exist" in the American political discourse is 99% of the time a motte-and-bailey question which leaves off the implicit addendum "...as a Jewish state"? The reason pro-Israel people leave it off is because they know they can't defend it on the merits.
