Because of all these wokists, I can't blame my problems on Papist conspiracies anymore!

Tiffany as the dark horse. Everyone forgets Tiffany exists. Even the other Trump children.

The Historical Documents!

Someone already pointed out the individual parts, but to give a bit more context, every major party in the German Bundestag has government funded foundation to put out policy ideas and pamphlets/ideological positions. It is an attempt to have a publicly funded and institutional alternative to think tanks. The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation is the Left Party's (die Linke) foundation. Just as a fun irony the SPD's foundation is the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.

Since die Linke is in such a dire state and might go through a split (I haven't kept up to date with where things are currently) there is the possibility the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation might not continue to get public funding and might disappear.

This is actually from the book Alamut that is about a fictionalized version of the historical Assassins. Since the book was published in the 1930's, there is some possibility that Brothers Karamozov was an influence, though there is an interesting inversion that instead of the moral relativism of a world without God, it is the personal ethos of a sociopath that is using a radical religion to gain unquestioning loyalty and obedience of a group of men for the sake of power.

This is lifted from the novel "Alamut" that the game writers used for inspiration. The novel is about a fictionalized version of the Ismaili, a Muslim group that were referred to as assassins by crusaders because they supposedly used a lot of hash (corruption on "Hashashin"). We don't know much about these original assassin's beliefs, because they operated out of a fortress that had its library burned once conquered and so we only know about them through their enemies. The assassins in the book were intended to be an allegorical portrayal of fascists with a very cynical, power hungry leader (this maxim is his own personal philosophy) brainwashing young men to have overwhelming obedience and carry out any violence the leader asked.

TBF, Carrion birds and several apex predator fish (like muskies) could eat landlords. But the fish would need the landlords chopped up into small pieces.

Not too recent, but I think I remember him still posting and calling out Genocide Joe about a month ago on Twitter. He is still around, but because he doesn't have political office, people don't pay much attention any more. As far as I remember, he was one of the better Soc Dems rather than an open communist though.

 

Hi, my siblings suggested that a present for our grandparents (younger silent generation) could be a digital picture frame that all the grandchildren could remotely upload pictures to. What I want to ask is if there are any that have an open protocol or open source alternate firmware that could be flashed to them, or otherwise can be recovered and used if the tech company making them goes out of business or just decides to stop supporting them.

So far, anything stable and user friendly enough for old people rules out trying to replicate an open source project from Hackaday, github, etc. I found and everything commercial I found seems to risk being a piece of e-waste in 6 months if the company goes out of business or decides that product isn't making enough money to keep supporting the app.

 
 

Uhh, let me grieve here. If you like your war criminal, you can't keep it.
