The OffG View: Fake binaries, fake crises, fake heroes
In two years of lies, the pandemic has revealed at least one undeniable truth – we really are living in a “new normal”.
They kept telling us “Covid” would usher one in, and for once they weren’t lying.
The world is different, and we need to live in it as it is, rather than pretending the old rules still apply. The entire geopolitical paradigm has shifted, and we need to shift along with it.
One of our editors recently wrote this on our Telegram channel, and it really is the best summation both of the current situation, and OffG’s editorial position.
There is a titanic struggle going on right now globally between the forces of darkness/enslavement and the human desire for truth and freedom.
**It’s not about Biden v Trump
It’s not about Labour v Tories
It’s not about Russia v Ukraine
It’s not about East v West
It’s not about men v women
It’s not about LBGT v straight**
All those things are either pure theater, invented controversies, or internal struggles between rival gangs of exploiters.
The real struggle is the one the “pandemic” lie inadvertently exposed to us all in stark clarity, and which we are all now being driven to forget as quickly as possible by all the above distractions.
It’s between us as individual humans and the techno-fascism that is being rolled out globally.
It’s between truth and the matrix of lies we are being invited to live in, populated with fake binaries, fake crises, fake solutions and fake heroes.
In two years of lies, the pandemic has revealed at least one undeniable truth – we really are living in a “new normal”. They kept telling us “Covid” would usher one in…

[Nouvel ordre mondial] Pendant que l’Ukraine flambe, le puçage des populations continue
Rien de tel qu’une bonne crise pour occuper les esprits. Et faire oublier une bonne crise. Et faire obstinément avancer un agenda mondial.
Pas de doute : il y a une méchante guerre en Ukraine dont rien n’indique pour le moment qu’elle sera gagnée facilement par les Russes ou les Ukrainiens. La propagande des deux côtés est maintenant sans répit, propagande des deux côtés qui s’ajoute aux biais des médias occidentaux pourris de déformations plus ou moins professionnelles et d’une absence d’auto-critique que la pandémie (rappelez-vous, c’était la crise précédente) n’avait absolument pas remis en question.
Les esprits sont donc tous tournés vers l’Europe de l’Est et chacun y va de sa fine analyse sur le caractère imprédictible (ou prétendu tel) de Poutine, sur les forces en présence, sur les vraies raisons du conflit et, bien sûr, sur les objectifs réels des uns des autres, dont tout le monde sait qu’ils sont accessibles à quelques clics de souris, sur l’un ou l’autre réseau social pas du tout contrôlé de bout en bout.
Et après deux années à découvrir que nos médias racontaient à peu près n’importe quoi à peu près tout le temps, tout le monde a immédiatement oublié. On recommence à donc écouter avec ferveur les mêmes médias débiter les mêmes approximations, les mêmes mensonges, à cacher les mêmes vérités inconfortables au discours officiel, participant ainsi à l’espèce de communion d’esprit débilitante dans laquelle une masse considérable d’individus barbote avec une certaine volupté.
C’est extraordinairement pratique parce que ça permet de faire passer complètement en dehors du champ de vision toute une avalanche de nouvelles qui ne sont bonnes que pour une infime proportion de l’Humanité et qui sont des cauchemars en devenir pour plus des 99.9% restants. À l’instar d’un gorille au milieu d’un jeu de balle qu’absolument aucun observateur ne semble voir tant on lui a focalisé l’attention sur la baballe, les médias et les politiciens actuels semblent décidés à nous faire compter les passes pour oublier le gorille au milieu du jeu
Car au moment même où Poutine tentait son aventure ukrainienne, propulsant l’Europe puis le monde dans une torpeur pré-thermonucléaire avec des petits bouts de combinaison NBC et des gros morceaux de guerre pas assez froide, la presse relayait avec une discrétion de violette plusieurs avancées majeures de différentes entités étatiques et para-étatiques dans le domaine de l’identité électronique.
C’est ainsi qu’avec vigueur et obstination, l’OMS continue de pousser l’idée d’imposer un passeport vaccinal mondial, bien évidemment électronique, présenté comme la clé de déplacements internationaux fluides et joyeux.
Eh oui : même si l’expérience passée des petits Pass Sanitaires puis vaccinaux aura permis de bien prendre conscience de la société à deux vitesses que les institutions promotrices tentaient de mettre en place, l’agenda se poursuit sans sembler vouloir dérailler. Et le fait que ces pass et autres numérotations citoyennes puissent être, très concrètement, employés pour mettre en place ségrégations, divisions et punitions sur chaque individu ne semble plus effaroucher qu’une petite bande d’irréductibles (d’ailleurs commodément appelés complotistes ou tout autre qualificatif discréditant du moment, depuis vaccino-sceptique ou antivax jusqu’à fasciste).
Mieux encore : en parallèle de l’OMS et de ses funestes projets d’étiquetage de la population, les États-Unis, bien qu’abandonnant État par État les différentes obligations plus ou moins ridicules qu’ils avaient mises en place, ne s’empêchent pourtant pas de réfléchir très fort à la mise en place d’un passeport vaccinal local : le projet de « SMART Health card » permettra enfin de numériser les actuels petits cartons vaccinaux du CDC et de bien marquer le cheptel contribuable (électroniquement d’abord, le fer rouge sera pour plus tard).
Le projet n’est pas simplement une idée en l’air qu’il conviendrait encore de fixer. En pratique, le fonctionnement précis de ce passeport est déjà suffisamment connu et détaillé pour permettre à pas mal d’autres pays de rejoindre les États-Unis (et l’OMS donc) dans leur envie folle de surveiller tout le monde, tout le temps : ainsi, toutes les provinces canadiennes ont déjà adopté la vérification de la SMART Health Card, tout comme Aruba, les îles Caïmans, Singapour et le Japon. En Afrique, la SMART Health Card est déployée au Kenya et au Rwanda, les premiers des 32 pays africains de l’alliance « Smart Africa » à adopter une approche numérique des dossiers médicaux.
Quant à l’Union européenne, … eh bien sans surprise, elle a déjà tout dans ses cartons dont une bonne partie sont maintenant déjà ouverts et ont leurs emballages déjà défaits : de la même façon qu’il convient de façon impérative de traquer l’individu partout aux Amériques et en Afrique, il ne serait pas convenable ni propret d’oublier l’Europe qui a donc bondi sur l’occasion de construire son système d’identité électronique, eID, qui permettra – cela va sans dire mais disons-le quand même – d’apporter la sécurité, la prospérité, la paix partout dans le monde (comme, du reste, l’Union européenne était censée apporter sécurité, prospérité et paix dans le monde avec le succès qu’on peut mesurer).
Grâce aux efforts déployés (sous couvert de « sécurité »), tous les États occidentaux puis, bientôt, tous les États mondiaux auront un moyen de pister chacun d’entre nous et, de façon bien plus pratique, de lui interdire toute transaction commerciale, toute interaction sociale, toute vie, sans avoir même à tirer le moindre coup de feu, sans avoir à faire usage de la force, sans avoir à mobiliser une police ou une armée coûteuses.
On ne sait pas comment s’achèvera le triste cirque ukrainien, mais rien ne semble vouloir arrêter l’asservissement des peuples. On détourne notre attention avec l’incohérence crasse maintenant habituelle (on veut la liberté des Ukrainiens mais on est farouchement contre celle des Français, non vaccinés, pas assez pucés-passés-QRCodisé, par exemple), mais c’est malheureusement pour mieux laisser toutes les autorités occidentales fabriquer nos propres chaines, placer nos propres barreaux à la prison que nous nous construisons avec application.
Par Hashtable Rien de tel qu’une bonne crise pour occuper les esprits. Et faire oublier une bonne crise. Et faire obstinément avancer un agenda mondial. Pas de doute : il y a une méchante guer…

Hello, in the recent years I find myself willing to spend much less time and energy on games, but I do still enjoy them. Oftentimes I end up quitting a new game I tried out relatively early on, because I'm encountering some block, grind, non-optional boring side quest, empty open world, uninteresting clutter or details that I have to manage, or similar. Like, I just wanna play the actual game play, see how the story continues, and visit those areas that were designed with care. Not worry where on the map I can sell the glimbrunses I collected so I can buy a 37% stronger glarpidifice that I'll need to beat the next glutrey after which I'm allowed to continue the main story.
Sorry if this turned into some kind of a rant, but I hope it's understandable what I'm looking for and what I meant by fluff. Some games that have fulfilled this for me during the last years:
Stray
Skyrim (there's a lot of fluff you can worry about in Skyrim, but the thing is you don't have to worry about it, you can also just walk in any direction and see what situation you wind up in, at least for the first 10-20h of a playthrough, which IMO is enough time for a game anyway)
Life is Strange
Some Pokémon ROM hacks where the difficulty spikes were not too harsh
Looking forward to hear your suggestions 😀 Games where there is some fluff but you're allowed to just ignore it are also fine, but not having any fluff is preferred. Bonus points for anything on the Xbox game pass.
I usually have a good time with isometric fantasy rpgs in the vein of Baldur's Gate. They don't really have grind, the world is generally well-filled with a relatively dense story and interesting quests (denser than Skyrim at least), and if the game becomes too hard you can turn down the difficulty. Though you do need to actually be interested in the combat mechanics (which are much more complicated than e.g. in Elder Scrolls games) to really enjoy these games, IMO. One downside is that these types of games are usually really long; I've dropped a couple of them halfway because they overstayed their welcome.
Some examples:
Baldur's Gate 3 (don't really need to have played 1+2 to enjoy this one, though they're still very good)
Divinity: Original Sin 1+2
Pillars of Eternity 1+2 (2 has much better combat, but the first one is pretty important to understand the world)
Tyranny (this is a relatively short one)
Pathfinder: Kingmaker 1+2
For more Skyrim-style games, I really enjoyed the Gothic series. I think their level of grind is about the same as Skyrim (probably a little less, but it's been a while), and if you can get past the outdated graphics of the early titles they're quite fun. Especially the dialogues, they aren't as serious as Skyrim's.

When it comes to replica luxury watches brands, Rolex is well deserved and then there are others. While not the most exclusive or expensive manufacturer (by a long shot), Rolex is easily the most famous name in watchmaking, with the company boasting far more name recognition and mainstream recognition than any other watch brand in existence today. Universally associated with luxury and the pursuit of excellence, the name Rolex is synonymous with watches, it exists in the human vernacular, and it is as well-known in the world as the brands of other industry giants such as Google, Coca-Cola, and Mercedes-Benz. Almost every remote corner of the world.
Rolex has been producing watches continuously since its founding in 1905, and despite having one of the most consistent catalogs in the entire industry, an incredible variety of different models has been produced throughout the brand's long history. While the saying "buy what you like" is always true, sometimes even figuring out where to start can be a daunting task. So, what are the best Rolex watches to buy right now? Below we take a look at some of our favorites.
Rolex Daytona 116595RBOW "Rainbow"
It's hard to imagine a Rolex watch that has left a more indelible mark on the world of modern watch collecting than the Daytona. While the standard stainless steel model will always be one of the fan favorites, arguably no model has captured the public's eye and imagination more than the Rolex Daytona ref. 116595RBOW — aka "Rainbow" Daytona. Originally launched in 2018 as one of the brand's incredible non-catalogue models, the Everose Yellow Gold Edition of the Rainbow Daytona quickly became a favorite of celebrities worldwide, and it remains the most popular and exclusive Rolex watch in existence One of the models today.high quality replica watches
While the overall profile of the watch is very much in line with the rest of the contemporary Daytona collection, the Rainbow Daytona 116595RBOW is crafted in solid 18k Everose gold set with diamonds and features a rainbow gradient gem-set bezel and matching baguette hour markers . Rolex produced several other iridescent Daytona watches, but none resonated with the public like model 116595RBOW. Objectively speaking, the Rolex Rainbow Daytona is an unabashedly luxurious timepiece that represents the "different" side of Rolex's contemporary catalog. However, the current open market value is several times the ref's already six-figure retail price. 116595RBOW,
Rolex Turn-O-Graph 6202
Rolex is known for its world-class sports watches, but before the debut of the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master, Rolex introduced the Turn-O-Graph. The Rolex Turn-O-Graph ref. was originally introduced in 1953. The 6202 almost looks like a vintage Submariner, but it predates Rolex's iconic diver's watch and was the first commercially available Rolex model to feature a rotating bezel. In fact, it was the core design of the Rolex Turn-O-Graph 6202 that ended up being the basis for the first Submariner and GMT-Master watches, but this historic model remains relatively unknown compared to its famous diver and pilot watch siblings . replica swiss watches
At first glance, you might think that the Rolex Turn-O-Graph Reference 6202 is a vintage Submariner, and almost everything about this model is dead, from the dial and hands to the case and bezel. Can be found on an early iteration of Rolex's first diver's watch. That said, it ends up being the "Turn-O-Graph" name printed on the lower half of the dial, since the reference. 6202 was produced before the Turn-O-Graph became part of the larger Datejust collection, this oft-overlooked vintage reference offers a highly functional design and represents a significant aesthetic with all other Rolex Turn-O-Graph watches Differences have been raised.
Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO – Meteorite Dial
GMT watches with red and blue bezels have become cornerstone products in the industry, a unique design dating back to the original Rolex GMT-Master. The classic stainless steel version of Rolex's legendary pilot watch will always be a time-tested staple, and the modern white gold version takes that familiar aesthetic and lends it a highly luxurious style. The Rolex GMT-Master II ref. pairs a red and blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel with a case and bracelet crafted from solid 18k white gold. 126719BLRO is essentially an ultra-premium version of the brand's iconic travel watch original.fake watches for sale
And the platinum Rolex GMT-Master II ref. comes standard. The 126719BLRO comes with a dark blue dial that helps to visually differentiate it from the stainless steel models, and the top-of-the-line version trades the blue dial for one made from a meteorite for a striking overall aesthetic. Almost all modern Rolex GMT-Master II watches feature dark dials, making the light silver color of the GMT-Master II 126719BLRO meteorite dial stand out. Plus, the fact that it’s made from fragments of an ancient meteorite that crashed to Earth in prehistoric times only makes this highly luxurious Rolex multi-time travel watch even more interesting to collectors.
Rolex Daytona 6265 "Big Red"
The Daytona has become a Rolex must-have in recent years, even though the model itself has been in continuous production since it was first introduced to the public in 1963. The Rolex Daytona has evolved steadily over the years, but one of the most important references in the model's rich history is reference number 6265. With acrylic crystal and hand-wound chronograph movement, ref. 6265 represents the final model of the first-generation Daytona, arguably one of the purest expressions ever made of Rolex’s iconic racing chronograph.Replica 2023 Seiko PROSPEX watches
Like the first Cosmograph Daytona in 1963, the Rolex Daytona 6265 features a stainless steel tachymeter bezel and a hand-wound Valjoux-based chronograph movement. However, unlike the first Daytona watch, reference 6265 is one of the "Oyster" Daytona models, so it has screw-in pushers for added water resistance and is slightly larger on the wrist. Aside from classic models with "Paul Newman" dials, the "Big Red" Rolex Daytona 6265 watches are often the most sought after by collectors because of the "Daytona" name in bold bright red letters above their sub-dial at 6 o'clock .
Rolex Explorer II 16550 – White Dial
For most of its history, the Explorer II was one of the most overlooked watches in Rolex's entire lineup. However, the real turning point in the model’s popularity came long before it became mainstream, with the introduction of a white “Polar” dial version in the 1980s. When the Rolex Explorer II ref. 16550 debuted in 1985, it marked a major divergence from the original model and introduced a radically updated design, representing the moment in the history of the Explorer II when it first began to adopt what would eventually become its modern form.
Available with a choice of black or white "Polar" dials, the black-dial version of the Rolex Explorer II 16550 looks nearly identical to subsequent versions of the brand's spelunking watches. However, the white dial models offer a number of subtle unique features that set them apart from all other Explorer II watches. While all later versions of the white Explorer II dial feature black polished hands and hour markers, reference 16550 has polished white gold hands and surrounds, creating a warm monochromatic overall look. Additionally, due to subtle imperfections in the surface finish, many of the white dials that the Rolex Explorer II 16550 was originally fitted with have been darkened to a rich cream color, further adding to its unique aesthetic.
Rolex Daytona 116519 “The Beach”
Rolex has a reputation for being a conservative company when it comes to updating its long-running designs, but the brand has also released some truly unconventional pieces throughout its long and storied history. The stainless steel version of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has always been restrained, while the precious metal version of the legendary Rolex chronograph is often full of fun and playful aesthetics. Chief among the later varieties were the various “Beach” Daytona models produced in small numbers in the early 2000s, featuring solid 18k white gold cases with brightly colored dials and straps. Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar
The Rolex Daytona ref. launched as four watches with dial colors including pink, green, yellow and turquoise. The 116519 “Beach” models all feature a white gold case with integrated lugs and a white gold tachymeter bezel. Additionally, instead of a matching metal bracelet like most Daytona watches, the Daytona reference 116519 “Beach” comes with a brightly colored leather strap that complements the bright pastel tones of the dial. The various "Beach" Daytona 116519 watches produced in small numbers nearly two decades ago represent such a brief and fleeting moment in Rolex history that they could almost be seen as a tribute to the famous "Stella" dial Rolex Day-Date watch. Chronograph cousins.
Rolex Milgauss 116400
Arguably, there is no more overlooked watch in Rolex's modern collection than the Milguss. While most of the brand's tool watch siblings are designed for exciting and fascinating adventure sports such as scuba diving, mountain climbing, or racing, the Rolex Milgauss is an antimagnetic watch for scientists working in laboratories. In 2007, reference number 116400 marked the third generation of the Rolex Milgauss, which represented a major aesthetic departure from its predecessors, with a 40mm case, sapphire crystal and bright orange trim.
When the Rolex Milgauss ref. 116400 debuted, it was offered in three different configurations. One has a white dial, the other two have a black dial, one with a green sapphire crystal (ref. 116400GV). That said, by 2013, the black dial model with the clear crystal was discontinued, and just a few years later in 2016, the white dial was also discontinued, leaving only the reference 116400GV watch with the green crystal. Overall, the Milgauss is one of the underrated Rolex models currently available, and with its relatively short production run and unique look, the discontinued Milgauss 116400 makes for a very compelling take on a very compelling Rolex model Choice, these models are still available for very reasonable prices.chronowrist.ru
Rolex GMT-Master II 116748SARU
The Rolex GMT-Master has always been intended to be a more luxurious timepiece compared to other sports models such as the Submariner and Explorer, and has been available in solid gold from the very beginning of the watch's history. That said, the solid gold model is far from the most luxurious execution of Rolex's famous pilot's watch, as well as non-catalogue references like the Rolex GMT-Master II reference. 116748SARU is one of the strangest and most unique releases ever made.
Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and following the 'super case' silhouette that first debuted on the ceramic bezel GMT-Master II, reference 116748SARU follows largely the same design as the standard production reference. 116718LN. However, instead of the usual black ceramic bezel, the bezel of the Rolex Greenwich-Master II 116748SARU is inlaid with diamonds, rubies and sapphires, recreating the model’s famous red and blue “Pepsi” bezel, but at a height Luxurious surroundings have been reworked in gem-set format. With its yellow gold case, shiny red and blue bezel, and bright green "GMT-Master II" logo on the dial, ref. 116748SARU has a unique and colorful look while being the most luxurious Rolex GMT money can buy One of the watches.
Rolex Datejust 126234 – Palm Pattern Dial
While many top-of-the-line Rolex watches require a six-figure investment, opting for unique dial variations on relatively common models is a great way to get something unusual and special without breaking the bank . Introduced in 2021, the green “Palm Motif” dial Datejust offers an unusual and slightly playful look to one of Rolex’s most traditional and straightforward designs. That said, despite the striking dials, the watches themselves are otherwise identical to standard watches, making them an easy target for most collectors.
Like the standard version of the watch, the Palm Dial Rolex Datejust 126234 is available in a 36mm stainless steel case with a white gold fluted bezel, sapphire crystal, and options for an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet. Sitting center stage, however, is a rich metallic green dial composed of varying shades of green paired with a flowing pattern of palm leaves. While the Datejust itself is traditional, restrained, and almost classic and straightforward, the Palm Motif dial is the complete opposite in every way, and the unique juxtaposition of the leafy dial with one of Rolex's most conservative dial designs creates a An unusual yet beautiful timepiece unlike anything else in Rolex's modern catalog.replica Audemars Piguet
Rolex Daytona 116598SACO “Leopard”
While there have been some truly peculiar and unusual Daytona watches released over the years, arguably none is more like a Rolex from a design standpoint than 116598SACO, popularly known as the “Leopard” Daytona. Unless you're familiar with this big cat-inspired chronograph, your first instinct is likely to be that the ref. 116598SACO "Leopard" is some wild third-party custom work, but this crazy jungle cat edition The Cosmograph Daytona is entirely one of Rolex's own creations.
The Rolex Daytona 116598SACO is made of solid 18k yellow gold with a case set with diamonds and a bezel set with cognac sapphires, the real party decor is its dial with its yellow and orange gradient effect, diamond set hour markers and black lacquer raised leopard spots. The watch comes with a matching leopard-print leather strap that complements the pattern on the dial, and while the "Leopard" Daytona is indeed a bit of an acquired taste and difficult to exist in any setting effortlessly, there's no denying that The ref. 116598SACO “Leopard” is one of the craziest and most bizarre Rolex watches ever released to the public.
Reward: Tudor Submariner 9411 “Snowflake”
Despite being sibling companies, Rolex and Tudor are very different brands today. However, if you delve into the archives, you’ll find that many Tudor watches share external case components with their Rolex-branded counterparts, and you’ll even find the Rolex name and crown insignia on the crown and caseback of many Tudor watches.
Of all the vintage Tudor watches in the brand's history, the classic Snowflake Submariner diver's watch is often held in high esteem, and it is these models that eventually serve as the aesthetic inspiration for many of Tudor's most popular modern timepieces, such as those from the Black Bay and Pelagos series. For those who love Rolex history but are specifically looking for something other than a Rolex, the vintage Tudor Submariner 9411 “Snowflake” is the perfect choice, offering an equally rich history with its unique design language.proreviewwatch.co

Nice to see the Royals involving themselves in climate change chat ahead of COP30, finger wagging at the world about how we should all do more. William saying "But these goals will remain out of reach unless we move from promises to action - grounded in respect, equity, and shared responsibility."
This coming from a family of wealth hoarders who could completely eradicate homelessness in the UK 36 times over and still have nearly a billion pounds left over. They could implement a universal basic income bringing many more minds to the fore to tackle actual problems rather than their own poverty and despair. Refocus the nation from fast food and fast culture into something more sustainable and meaningful. Instead he just makes empty soundbytes so he can look like he cares and is doing something important. Like watching a whole load of people fall to their death, whilst flapping his arms at them in encouragement.
'If we save the sea, we save our world', he says. He owns the fucking sea. The Crown Estate owns the territorial seabed out to 12 nautical miles and around half of the foreshore around England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Why doesn't he do something about it. Instead of appearing on telly to tell other people what to do. Noone cares about anything or anyone. Until the people who can take action do take action, how do they expect others will? William talking about equity and shared responsibility..... does he even understand how that sounds to the rest of the world?
Anyway wooooosaaaaaaah, hurrah! Saturday! Let's get out there and do this! I missed my run this morning due to sleeping, so am going to attempt to go out during the day instead in this unbelievable heat like an idiot. Hooray! Hope you're all fab. Sorry for the moan. Bastards though, all of them. X
Late afternoon Friday dog walk and spotted what looked like the yellow of dying moss on a log deep in the woods. “Wonder what's killing it?” I thought, walking by. Curiosity won out, I scrabbled through the brush and found the truth. #Mushtodon #FungiFriday
(looks around a little nervously) I will often start a class with "Previously on Sally's Psych Class [...]" or "In our last episode of Sally's Psych Class [...]" before reviewing what we went over before. It always gets a giggle or chuckle, and I try not to use it too often to keep as much of the novelty as I can. I guess I'm a bit of a Jamie. 😁
I think there is an important distinction between small local governments and syndicates. A government holds all power and uses it according to its principles (in democracy by legislation and delegation). Anarchic syndicates and the likes are organizing certain aspects of life that make sense to do together. Like infrastructure, food and the likes. But they should not impose general power over its affected population, which is what i expect from my government.
Every time I meet an anarchist I’m in my early 20s at university and they are middle class brats with a secure safety net if they fuck up, and saying they have a right to everything and no responsibilities, and 20 years later they are conservative money hoarders
Holy fuck, same!! I've been describing myself as "anarchist" lately, but am active with small nonprofits who want social change. But yeah, Nazis are Nazis. They just use different terminology from time to time. Before the original party existed, many members were part of the Thule Society, a white supremacist secret society.
As an anarcho-communist, I still dream of a day /wo government or laws, when the land and seas are for everyone, including the other species who live there, and we self-organize on a voluntary basis, with organizations that are created and dismantled all according to what we want. When I find people trying to emulate that dream I want to join them.
But only for a bit, because truth is, I want to be a scientist, and novel scientific research is not exactly a priority in those places
Its because being white trash is easy. They want the bar lowered for everyone to their level. Because not being trash is hard. If you come from an academic background, there are rules to engagement and discourse. There are proper ways of conduct. Because without those rules of engagement, human knowledge would devolve into...well...MAGA. You can't base everything solely on "common sense" because the world is full of paradoxes. So just being good ol' redneck trash is just easier.
Funny... because every time I meet a christian, I see someone unfit to understand any morality beyond their goatherders guide to the galaxy. Which, as we know, was written by people who knew less about the world or what it would become than a 6 year old today. By the way, that includes yheir fictional prophet who didn't even have the good sense to tell people it is wrong for someone to own another person. Love your fucking neighbor doesn't make up for that!
The Scottish Government has been rebuked by the UK's equality watchdog after "misrepresenting" a private meeting between them. John Swinney's administration has refused to follow interim guidance published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) which bans men from women's toilets and changing rooms.
Instead, SNP Ministers have repeatedly stalled, insisting they were told to wait until the proper guidelines are published. It has also impacted other public bodies like the Scottish Prison Service which still houses biological males in the female estate, meaning the jails can no longer be single-sex.
The Scottish Parliament has implemented the interim guidance, with toilets and changing rooms restricted to those born that sex, and gender neutral facilities also available. It has led to rage from the Scottish Greens and some left-wing members of the SNP, even though the government will eventually have to adopt the same rules.
Campaign group For Women Scotland, who successfully defeated the SNP Executive in court over the definition of a woman, were told by officials that the EHRC had advised them to wait for the final Code of Practice before making changes and to "not do anything in advance of that".
The Scottish Government has repeatedly insisted it got advice from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission that meant it didn't have to implement single-sex policies yet, but the watchdog said it didn't say anything like this.
🙄Oh FFS, the hand-wringing over having all the wickets in place “they were told to wait until the proper guidelines are published”. How difficult is this to have people use bathrooms corresponding to their actual sex at birth? Are there not more pressing issues at hand?😒
An artistic performance rather than a sport - figure skating unites elements of theatre, gymnastics, ballet and much more. In Russia it’s taken to a whole new level with ice shows blurring the boundar...
