This should tamp down any good humor you're feeling. https://people.com/federal-officers-shoot-and-kill-man-in-minneapolis-officials-say-11891983 another_ice_murder_in_front_of_glam_doll_donuts.mp4 This video was taken in the minutes leading up to the murder. Gun or no gun on the victim, you decide. video_taken_before_killing_no_gun.mp4 Here's another angle of the murder. another_angle_of_the_minneapolis_shooting_taken.mp4 === For those of you who are sick of references to 1984 and Animal Farm, here's another eerily accurate piece of speculative fiction by Sinclair Lewis. It Can't Happen Here "Nonsense! Nonsense!" snorted Tasbrough. "That couldn't happen here in America, not possibly! We're a country of freemen." “preachers and modernist educators and discontented newspapermen and farm agitators—maybe they’ll worry at first, but they’ll get caught up in the web of propaganda, like we all were in the Great War, and they’ll all be convinced that, even if our Buzzy maybe has got a few faults, he’s on the side of the plain people, and against all the tight old political machines, and they’ll rouse the country for him as the Great Liberator (and meanwhile Big Business will just wink and sit tight!), and” “not as perfect, but as the most probable saviors of the country from, on one hand, domination by Moscow and, on the other hand, the slack indolence, the lack of decent pride of half the American youth, whose world (these idealists asserted) was composed of shiftless distaste for work and refusal to learn anything thoroughly, of blatting dance music on the radio, maniac automobiles, slobbering sexuality, the humor and art of comic strips—of a slave psychology which was making America a land for sterner men to loot.” “that useful Patriotism which always appears upon threat of an outside attack, the government immediately arrange to be insulted and menaced in a well-planned series of deplorable “incidents” on the Mexican border, and declare war on Mexico as soon as America showed that it was getting hot and patriotic enough.” “All Corpo universities were to have the same curriculum, entirely practical and modern, free of all snobbish tradition. Entirely omitted were Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Biblical study, archaeology, philology; all history before 1500—except for one course which showed that, through the centuries, the key to civilization had been the defense of Anglo-Saxon purity against barbarians. Philosophy and its history, psychology, economics, anthropology were retained, but, to avoid the superstitious errors in ordinary textbooks, they were to be conned only in new books prepared by able young scholars under the direction of Dr. Macgoblin. Students were encouraged to read, speak, and try to write modern languages, but they were not to waste their time on the so-called “literature"; reprints from recent newspapers were used instead of antiquated fiction and sentimental poetry. As regards English, some study of literature was permitted, to supply quotations for political speeches, but the chief courses were in advertising, party journalism, and business correspondence, and no authors before 1800 might be mentioned, except Shakespeare and Milton.” === Cue reactions from trump bootlickers and nazi sympathizers.

I just watched this film. People, beliefs, reality, ethics, survival, markets. We watch in comfort, and claim we're being taken advantage of, while the world toils. Mumbai fishermen Rakesh and Ganesh are inheritors of the great Koli knowledge system—a way to harvest the sea by following the moon and the tides. Rakesh has kept faith in traditional fishing methods while Ganesh has embraced technology. Against the Tide is the tale of two men’s bond fractured by the weight of a changing world and a sea threatened by climate change. A Co-Presentation with CAAM (Center for Asian American Media). https://www.pbs.org/pov/films/againstthetide/

Thanks for confirming my suspicion on the predominant language in Switzerland. On another note, someone asked earlier if you could comment on how Danes feel about Greenland. Would you say this sums it up? https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/21/apps-for-boycotting-american-products-surge-to-the-top-of-the-danish-app-store/

Somebody help me out here, what's the primary language in Switzerland?

"Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted." - Winston Churchill or “You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination.” - Charles de Gaulle Personally, I believe we've reached the de Gaulle era.

Just like they always do, they'll bury their tongues even further up trumps ass.

Yeah, lots of institutions don't have a problem doing business with grifters. I expected Dimon to clap back hard but it looks like he's gonna waffle just like rest of corporate America.

More than likely Dimon just doesn't want to be involved in the presidents money laundering operations or any of the other grifts he's got going. Personally I think it was a mistake as he could've gathered a lot of evidence for the upcoming Nuremberg trials of this nazi in the oval office.
