Congratulations to protesters at COP for disrupting the time wasters

www.theguardian.com/environment/...
After the confrontation, the protesters left the venue and uniformed fire brigade officers formed a cordon to block the entrance. It is not yet clear who was responsible for the intrusion. But at least one observer was impressed: “At last, something has happened here,” said Juan Carlos Monterrey-Gómez, a Panamanian climate negotiator. Agustin Ocaña, from the Global Youth Coalition, told the Associated Press some of the people entering were chanting “they cannot decide for us without us,” referring to tensions over participation of Indigenous people in the conference.

I think Ursula le Guin really hit the mark in articulating what a lot of the problems of modern America are about with this quote
In a paper about teaching utopia that appeared in the World Society Buletin in 1980 Progessor Kenneth Roemer said: The importance of this question was forced upon me several years ago in a freshman comp course at the University of Texas at Arlington. I asked the class to write a paper in response to a hypothetical situation: if you had unlimited financial resources and total local, state, and national support, how would you transform Arlington, Texas, into utopia. A few minutes after the class had begun to write, one of the students—a mature and intelligent woman in her late thirties—approached my desk. She seemed embarrassed, even upset. She asked, "What if I believe that Arlington, Texas, is utopia?" What do you do with her in Walden Two? Text from Ursula Le Guin's text A Non-Euclidean View of California as a Cold Place to Be

It’s David chase’s world, we’re just living in it
Reddit post I 100% thought New Jersey wasn’t real Like based solely on the show, there's supposed to be this place somewhere in America that's entirely populated by these strange orc-like people with speech impediments who eat raw meat out of their fridge. I watched the show when I was like 10 or 11 so I thought it was just like Gotham City or something. I had no idea, did you?

De oplossingen voor sociaal problemen komen niet uit meer gevangenissen, meer politie, meer geweld.
We moeten dapper genoeg zijn om andere oplossingen te vinden
