In this excerpt from "Keeper of the Flame" (1942) Christine Forrest (Katherine Hepburn) explains how a nation can fall to fascism: so-called patriotism, fear, racism, bigotry, hatred of others, all guided by a small group of powerful, wealthy individuals. #USA #UK #auspol youtu.be/_abRxAL3hnw?...

Not the use of the word "detained" here to make it appear as though the settlers have some legal capacity to be doing this. If i ran up on a US Rep with a rifle and prevented them from leaving it would be, correctly, described as kidnapping; and doing so with political ends would be terrorism.

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

An Epic Tale. www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/jo...

The scene: a writer’s den, where a writer is working with pen and paper. A woman is there too, sitting in a chair beside him,

Panel One: The woman asks: What are you working on?
The author answers: I’m writing a stage play in the style of a Greek myth. It’s got it all!

Panel Two: The Author continues: The hero is a lieutenant of extraordinary skill who rises through the ranks, each victory more glorious than the last, until he commands an empire that spans the world.
He does heroic deeds, amasses great fortunes, builds a gleaming realm of glass and metal, and reaches heights that no one has ever achieved before.

Panel Three: He continues… But at the height of his achievements he is forced to make a choice to save his people from danger. He has to bend the knee to a powerful and corrupt evil king.

And suddenly, the people that once loved him, turn on him, and despise him for the difficult choice he has made.

Panel Four: All his great deeds, his achievements, the fortunes, the good he has done... suddenly no one sees them anymore. They only see the moment he knelt. It tarnishes his entire legacy and so with a heavy heart, he exiles himself into the wilderness.

The woman is clearly moved by the story. She says “Oh my gosh! That is epic! What do you call it?”

The Author replies: “The Tragedy of Tim Cook.”

In World War I more U.S. soldiers died of influenza than from combat. In America's first 145 years of war more soldiers and sailors died from infectious diseases than from enemy action. In every single war in human history more combatants have died of illness and disease than bullets and the blade.

Tweet from Pete Hegseth: "The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately."

The first moon landing took place when I was two years old. As a child I was fairly confident that non-astronauts would be able to travel to the moon sometime in my lifetime. That obviously isn’t going to happen.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.
