This has been happening in the UK too, including violent demonstrations against alleged hotels housing people seeking asylum, organised by former members of proscribed (terrorist) neo-Nazi organisations. The fact that multiple mainstream MPs have attended these, produced glowing videos about them, and stood with (figuratively and literally) people from knowing, unabashed neo-Nazi orgs has gone completely uncommented on in the British press.
It's very clearly a coordinated campaign that's gone international.
I actually haven't, but I read the book years ago.
The book itself was a very much 'written as fiction so I don't get sued' as it's basically about Harold Wilson's government with a bit of the CIA's removal of the Australian PM sprinkled in. Sir Peregrine is based upon Peregrine Worsthorne, the fascist deep state journalist / broadsheet editor who said (amongst other things) that treason was acceptable so long as it was to reaffirm American interests in Britain.
I believe the author added a section after the coordinated Corbyn coup / smear campaign too, but my copy is from the 80s so I haven't read it that bit.
I might have to give this a watch though if it's just sat on YouTube. Cheers.
It disturbs me that I instantly found Kerry in the first place I looked. I have seen this picture too many times and spent too long doing Where's Wally books as a kid.
First of all, it's not an assumption, I can read your posting history.
Secondly, speaking of assumptions, I'm not even an American you myopic dipshit.
And in all likelyhood, I've been actually organising and campaigning for longer than you've been alive or 'voting' your way to change. Over three decades against war, against unjust laws in my country, against fascists in the streets, shutting down American weapons factories, blocking American air force bases and intelligence gathering stations, I've been arrested, friends have gone to prison, I've worked with refugees at home who were displaced by your Democrat's wars and been to refugee camps in places like Lebanon.
So keep jerking yourself off while voting for your personal choice Pepsi/Coke brand of fascism, while attacking anyone who actually does things, by all means. But no one here owes you the benefit of the doubt, the time of day, or to entertain your pathetic, vacuous Reddit posturing. Certainly not me.
Their point is to look at 2 years of Holocaust that they ran interference for and, instead of reacting with the appropriate horror and fury, instead be smug to protect their blue team in the sport of political theatre. One glance at their profile shows they've been doing this the entire time. They're a genocide defender.
Chungking Express is superb. As is The Straight Story.
I'd throw in a recommendation for Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Shoplifters" - it's an often funny, joyful movie that nonetheless deals with serious subjects of poverty, social isolation, found family, and more.
This is what he said to a prominent journalist from a major newspaper, in an interview he will have prepped extensively for. This is the clean, practiced, news version. Imagine the depravity of their, and the people around them who thought this was the press-friendly version, unfiltered actual view.
That one is really good. The theming is great and it has a nicely balanced and dynamic playfield from what I remember. There used to be one in an old pub when I used to live in the city and I always enjoyed it. I think it ranks pretty highly amongst lists of the best ever too. Top 50 certainly.
I'm not great either. If nothing else I don't get enough opportunities to play it in real life. I remember Windows 95 used to come with a virtual pinball game installed and that was my first introduction to the digital version. Since then I don't know how many virtual pinball games I've had, maybe all of them. It's the main way I get to play these days.
Any favourite tables real or virtual only you remember?
That's a rough burger if it's not even worth the attempt.
I love a burrito but they're mostly absolutely bland trash here in the UK. Best I ever had by far was a homemade one by a guy I worked with briefly who was Tex-Mex.
Have you ever played pinball? I'm old so I love it. I don't know how common it is still in the US. Here in the UK you used to find a newer table tucked away in a bar or store rarely, but now you pretty much have to go to a big arcade club type place where there's multiple and you pay for the day.
Empathy is just another mind control device. If he truly cared about the families of war dead he'd make a one minute scripted phonecall to them that's all about how they gave their life for the flag, then put down the phone and pass legislation that made it even harder for their families to claim their military pension or benefits.
Also, the reason all the hype and 'culture' around these products focus on individual end users (write me a poem, be a chatbot, make me Pixar art etc) is because they're good at being flexible, at applying the algorithm to different shallow tasks. But when it comes to specific, repeated, reliable use cases for businesses they're much much worse. The error rates are high, it's actual ability for 'institutional memory' and reliable repetition is poor, and if you're replicating a known process previously done by people you still have to train or recruit new people to get the best out of the tech.
