I realize nobody is surprised by anything anymore but it's outrageous that the US is just trying to destroy Cuba and plunge it into abject misery in order to achieve the political outcome we want. That's terrorism, pure and simple.
In the days and weeks after the Jota tragedy I (and plenty of others) said I'd basically forgive them anything in the coming season, and I have not done that. Probably worth reflecting on.
rewatching COLUMBO episodes as one does and came across this incredible sequence that depicts the killer dispatching of the body by reflecting parallel split-screens of footage in the murderer's glasses. wild it's almost two minutes long. old TV!
Victor Wembanyama’s full comments today on the shooting of another civilian by federal agents in Minneapolis:
“PR has tried, but I'm not going to sit here and give some politcally correct [answer]. Every day I see the news and I'm horrified. I think it's crazy that some people might make it seem like or make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable. I read the news and sometimes I'm asking very deep questions about my own life. I'm concious also saying everything that's on my mind will have a cost that's too great for me right now, so I'd rather not get into too many details. It's terrible. I know I'm a foreigner, but I live in this counrtry and I am concerned.”
