This is like a fantasy film in which the Wright Brothers time travel to the 21stC.
Absolutely bonkers footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not ai, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ.

Honestly feels like a mid sized 21stC issue is that high culture kinda decided it hated itself in the early 21stC for being elitist (which wasn't necessarily wrong) and then ceded 100% of the ground to purely commerical lowest common denominator slop

one other side of this is something that I try to emphasize to my students: "what does freedom actually mean" is not a 21stC issue anachronistically read backwards into the 18thC. The US, French, and Haitian Revolutions happened at more or less the same time, with an overlapping cast of characters
one reason this is important is that it makes so much about the period more emotionally legible. when lafayette is asking washington why he won’t just free his slaves, it isn’t an abstract thing; dude is literally at mount vernon and seeing all of these human beings in bondage!
