Someone wondered about Aurora PD
Here is an article that, while focusing on a particular incident, includes quite a bit of context

Trump puts some tacky shit on the walls in the oval office and liberals post through it non-stop for a week but when Democratic presidents send bombs to get dropped on cities from the pre-Hellenistic period it's crickets
I hate Trump and every one of his idiotic schemes, but watching some of you act like like tearing down the 1940s addition to a 1790s house is an equivalent horror to active, generationally traumatic terrorism by ICE is bizarre. Everything is awful, but there are degrees.

I was working for a decade before phones became prevalent and yeah sure you'd see a pretty insignificant number of people reading interest magazines or a newspaper there still weren't a ton of people with books.
That’s part of it, but the more simplistic explanation of “it’s the phones” I suspect is true too. Even at jobs where people have a good break, you’ll see most people on their phones, even for teachers and the like.

Every household in the world should be limited to one room with a single Internet capable device
I think if you post like this you should be forced to go on a walk without any electronic devices several hours a day for a few months. Just to learn how to be normal again.

Empire of the Petal Throne raised the bar for tabletop RPGs. Its chief architect was a linguist and anthropologist who challenged Eurocentric tropes with a uniquely progressive vision. If you’ve never heard of him, it turns out there is a very good reason.

The legacy of Muhammad Abd-al-Rahman Barker illustrates how fantasy, escapism, or games can be as much reactionary as progressive.

Anyway, back to using State violence to clear homeless camps out of the park, because rich people were complaining they had to look at them.

Well surely now the IDF will let journalists from @english.lemonde.fr in to Gaza so that they might finally disprove reports of widespread famine. Right?

In an effort to discredit the United Nations's recognition of a state of famine in the enclave, the Israeli army has organized visits to a humanitarian aid platform near the Kerem Shalom crossing point.

While I'm on one about the anxieties of nuclear annihilation in culture during the cold war I'd be remiss to not highlight the excellent books:
Level 7 by Mordecai Roshwald
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller
On the Beach by Nevil Schute

Arguably the most morose nuclear apocalypse movie ever made, Threads was also released in 1984. A few years later we got the highly underrated Miracle Mile about panic and riots in LA that takes place in the hours between launch and detonation.

denmark rocks bc theyll notice that only 80% of their population is currently laying in the grass in a park with a six pack of 8% beer reading a book while on a 3 hour lunch break from work making $50/hr selling croissants at a cafe called GOBBO or FLUUZ and their government will spring into action
Confronting what its culture minister called a "reading crisis," the Danish government announced this week that it planned to make books exempt from a 25% value-added tax.
