Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

Next Monday I’ll get chat with the one and only Mr. Henry Mintzberg! While he’s best known for reshaping how we think about strategy and organisations, the focus will be something else: his remarkable collection of 'beaver sculptures', i.e. wood sculpted by beavers www.juhuu.nu/beaver-sculp...

Taidekoulujen rahoituksen päättyminen ei ole siis osoitus niiden toiminnan heikkoudesta, vaan hallinnollisen tahdon puutteesta. Kun Kela onnistui löytämään ratkaisun opintotukeen, olisi ollut vähintään kohtuullista odottaa Taikelta ja OKM:ltä vastaavaa vastuunkantoa koulutuksen rahoituksessa.
Vapaan taidekoulun ja Taidekoulu Maan rahoituksen loppuminen on merkittävä epäonnistuminen Taiken ja Opetusministeriön osalta. | juhuu.nu

A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone.

In these trumpian times it was a cathartic experience to visit the Angoulême International Comics Festival, and to see so much work that is unhinged in a positive way, full of life and complexity! And so many people! Approx 200 000 comics enthusiasts annually convene in this small picturesque town.
