2 cool 4 context.

"Andreas M. (57), from Freital, Germany, raises his arm to a nazi salute in provocation toward a group of demonstrators for human and refugees rights, who were marching nearby. He gets then calmly approached from behind by a police officer, who gently lower his arms and informs him that he's under arrest for "use of gestures attributable to unconstitutional organizations". If charged, he faces 3 years in jail."

Ha ha, the germans will throw someone in jail for 3 years for a hand gesture just to make people think they aren't nazis anymore.

We interrupt this program to increase dramatic tension.
A photo journalist, Rubén Espinosa, was murdered, along with 4 women in an apartment in Mexico City. Espinosa worked in Veracruz and was threatened by aidees of the governor Javier Duarte (although the governor himself had threatened journalists); he moved to Mexico City after noticing people following him often.

This is a big deal because, although no one will probably accuse officially the governor or anyone on his team, everyone knows what's happening there, as Veracruz is the most violent state in Mexico, currently, and the one that accounts for most deaths of journalists so far (previously, another 2 journalists went missing). It's alarming, however, because usually Mexico City was seen as 'the' safe place, where you can be safe from organized crime, mafias and so on, but welp.

The photo that caused Duarte and his team to get upset was this one, presumably because it's unflattering and shows him as someone authoritative and, well, the message is "Veracruz: Lawless state":



As a note of interest, in one official speech Duarte claimed that he admired Francisco Franco.

It's almost certainly related to the neolithic revolution. The implication is that as we moved from small tribes to the beginnings of agriculture, the tribal leaders took all the women and everybody else just worked the land.

The social effect could have been similar to that of the 'lost boys' in Mormon communities that practice polygamy.

And that's why you gotta be an alpha male, brah.

Bitching about the sky bridges is pretty silly and I don't mean just you personally, I remember the huge deal this was when it came up a while ago. Our office is in an industrial park with few poor people around because there's nothing to do here unless you have a job (it's also in socialist utopia) but we have this sky bridge connecting two buildings:



It owns because, depending on where you are, it's much easier to go straight through it in the direction you need rather than go in the opposite direction, go down the stairs or elevator, go out and to the building you need, scan your badge, and then potentially have to walk back because the reception is beyond the destination. Especially when the weather sucks. Not because we might run into poor people.

Is this per chance the Stodůlky park? It looks just like a bit I ride around on my bicycle every weekend.

Anyway, I'm sure the original poster was concerned about sky bridges that consciously over-rode previous pedestrian infrastructure. It's not a concern when a couple of buildings in a compound is connected via a sky bridge (my high school had a sky bridge to the PE facilities), but it's kinda awful when a massive amount of condo apartments is directed to bypass the natural arteries of the city.

Plato, quoting Socrates, said in Phaedrus:

Plato posted:

“The discovery of the alphabet will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves…You give your disciples not truth but only the semblance of truth; they will be heroes of many things, and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing. They will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.”

If you are reading this, your language is in decay. Words are inherently "low context" compared to spoken language, and as a result, do not carry meaning as easily. However, it is more efficient at communicating quickly and disseminating that information. Even more low context is the image. The image based society communicates extremely quickly, but without depth. This enables centralized power to control people very effectively.

According to the biblical legend, a unified humanity, speaking the same language, was able to create a structure tall enough to pierce the heavens, the tower of Babel. God, angered by this display, dispersed humanity and gave it many languages, assuring no such power could be reassembled.

Today, the image is becoming the new "global language." It has fulfilled the prophecy that one day we would create a new language that could once again ascend to heaven and challenge (kill) God. The image is an extension of civilization. It doesn't empower individuals, but enables them to work in pursuit of civilization's goals. The image enslaves us as we construct new towers to kill god.

Sorry, this is grossly oversimplified, and I'm writing fast. Enjoy these pictures as penance.

An old fashioned term for a spoiled rich person. I've also heard it as a term for gay or effeminate men. But in that case I think they meant fat women.

I had to look up. I thought it meant fat people but turns out I was wrong.

quote:

CAKE-EATER n. (plural cake-eaters)

1. (slang) This usage of the term dates from the 1920s, when it vied in popularity with 'sheik' to indicate a slick young Romeo who wows the flappers and likes the high life. A Cake-Eater, when he's not trolling for jazz-babies at the local speakeasy, likes to loiter at a girl's house and be pampered, especially by being served his sweetie's baked goods-- and of course, some degree of sexual metaphor might be inferred.
2. (slang) someone of upper-class background, or who has been excessively well-off
