I think we are going to see more direct mimesis of original Nazi era propaganda rather than copies of copies of copies. Like this from the recent Berlin election.

Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

This is infuriating. A while back, I found out that the Irish government had quietly changed the interpretation of copyright law in favour of genAI development. Here again, we see our own government sneakily putting commercial interests ahead of those of their citizens. Typical of them. #SpeirGorm

Here’s all the dumb oil wars that #electriccars have nothing to do with. Many wars of the 20th and 21st century have been centered around oil. Not only that, but it is also quite harmful to health.

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.
