Howard Zinn was really one of the greatest writers.

“I've always resented the smug statements of politicians, media commentators, corporate executives who talked of how, if you worked hard you would become rich.
The meaning of that was if you were poor it was because you hadn't worked hard enough. I knew this was a lie, as I saw my father and millions of others, men and women who worked harder than anyone, harder than financiers and the politicians, - harder than anybody, still struggle in poverty.”
— Howard Zinn.

The ref must be more powerful than the players on the field, so the smallest government you can have is determined by the size of the largest corporation and the wealth of the richest billionaire you're willing to tolerate.

The future of the Tory Party is a private equity buyout that sacks everyone and then the remaining organisation declared bankrupt with unrepayable debts. A clean, simple model that has been proven to work time and time again with ailing businesses that we don't hear about anymore.

On the night of 16/17 May 1943, Operation Chastise used bouncing bombs designed by Barnes Wallis to breach the Eder and Möhne dams. 53 aircrew were killed and over 1,300 women and men on the ground – many were forced women labourers trapped in their accommodation. 1/6

There's two submarines playing table tennis when a horse walks past and goes "Can I play, fellas?" One submarine goes "Sure" and walks to the side, but quickly breaks down in giggles. The other submarine goes "What's up?" and the first one goes "Have you seen how that horse is holding his paddle?"

Long ago, Owens convinced me that the system is rigged and we all deserve better. This book made that case even clearer. I want to know how we get beyond modest personal protections and make our way to a better world for all. eof/

A black and white drawing of three dachshunds arranged vertically, each holding a different optical illusion object in its mouth, and the dogs themselves drawn as if a single line optical illusion. The top dog holds a Penrose triangle, the middle dog holds a Necker cube, and the bottom dog holds a Penrose trident. The dogs’ bodies are elongated in an exaggerated cartoon style. The artwork is signed “@IndieTheIntrovert” in the bottom right corner.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.
