The UN seems to think that the transatlantic slave trade was worse than every genocide in human history.

Everyone is gathering outside the hospital in Barcelona that 25-year-old Noelia Castillo Ramos will be euthanized in 10 hours from now. Many more coming tomorrow. If she chooses to let them take her life, she will know that millions of people around the world are going to miss her. The government took her from her parents during their financial struggles and put her in a home for teens. While she was there alone and scared, a bunch of them gang r*ped her. Nobody stopped them. Nobody helped. Those teens (believed to mainly be from other countries) were never arrested and are still walking free. She attempted to take her life from the 5th story of the building, but God decided it was not her time to go yet. She is dealing with pain and difficulty caring for herself, but AI medical advancements in that area provide hope that she will be in a good place again soon. The message this sends to young people is heartbreaking. She is not terminally ill and without hope. She is depressed and needs help from the community around her. They want us to feel valueless and become desensitized to this. We can never allow that. Join me in praying for a miracle tomorrow!

This is absolutely insane! How the hell did we even get to this point? A grandmother was thrown out of a public meeting because she read lines from a book that are in school libraries. The words were too graphic for adults, but perfectly OK for kids? Wtf

Factually, white people often still possess animosity, regrettably realizing the benefits of goodwill after departing from South Africa. Magda Wierzycka famously stated that she no longer believed South Africa was a "land of opportunity. " Magda Wierzycka didn't return to South Africa out of pure patriotism. She returned because the UK government’s proposed tax reforms would claim 40% of her inheritance, whereas South Africa only takes 20%. While ordinary South Africans are priced out of building generational wealth, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) personally welcomed home a billionaire who simply found a more favourable tax rate. It seems patriotism and BEE compliance are much more affordable; when you have the capital to choose your jurisdiction. So after all our BEE is not so bad!

Nick Freitas, American Green Beret combat veteran: "The West has taught Hamas that the more civilian casualties you get, the more funding you get, and the more support you will get." A very wise man who summed up this war perfectly. Can we make this go viral?

The trend toward ugly architecture began with a change in philosophy: "A famous group of logical positivists, who called themselves the Vienna Circle, included several members who were also artists or members of a formalist movement in architecture, which gave rise to the international style. As a result, this style can be considered a visual expression of logical positivism. The movement included the Bauhaus (in Germany) and De Stijl (in Holland). Its bare glass-and-steel boxes are all too familiar in our cities today. Just as philosophers wanted to strip ordinary language of its idiosyncrasies and reduce it to a universal formal language, so artists aimed to strip architecture of all ornamentation and reduce it to universal geometric forms. Cut the clutter! Clear away moldings, cornices, scrolls, and gingerbread! Toss out historical styles like Greek columns and Gothic spires! The result was flat roofs, smooth facades, and cubist shapes (influenced, in fact, by cubist painting). One of the founders of De Stijl said the goal was to create a style based solely on “numbers, measurements, and abstract line.” This was the modernist mentality applied to architecture: Toss the entire past onto the junk heap and start over again from scratch. Architect Charles Jencks that the entire city was treated as “a tabula rasa on which one could inscribe totally new, functionalist ideas.” (From Saving Leonardo)

Why do new buildings seem, on average, uglier than old buildings? We discuss some options: - Survivorship bias: only the beautiful old buildings have survived (we reject this option); - Cycles of taste: everyone always finds new buildings uglier (we mostly reject this too); - Ornament became too expensive because of rising labour costs (we reject this); - Ornament became too cheap because of mechanisation and then became low status (we reject this); - Some sort of Protestant or Puritan anti-beauty inheritance (we are doubtful); - Some kind of elite status game, perhaps a response to democratisation or elite overproduction (we think there is promise here, but serious work is needed on the details). I discuss this and more with @Aria_Babu and @bswud. Apple podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/did… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2pIka6… Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=qvueKt…

@pierredevos Good morning, can you tell us if the Arabic slave trade was a crime against humanity? Can you also tell us when the last Arab country stopped their slave trade?

Admiral James Lyons delivers a blunt warning on Islam and ideology. He rejects distinctions between “radical” and “moderate.” “Islam is a totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion!”

@JustXavierB It kinda is, but the Jews do not believe in Jesus. The old testament however is full meaning that sometimes gets lost. Some people believe that these traditions are not only enriching to Jews, but that any believer can be blessed by an understanding of them.

The future of journalism is bleak. Student newsrooms are heavily captured by this anti-information ideology, enforced ruthlessly by their activist friends. These kids are more upset about identifying the murder suspect as an illegal immigrant than they are about the murder.

...The editors declared, “No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that.” The reference was to his status, not his existence. Sheridan's existence allegedly ended at the hands of a man living here illegally.
