If Iran and Egypt don't want to see Pride flags at their match in Seattle, that's just too damn bad.
LGBTQ folks were intentionally erased in Qatar in 2022 due to "respect for local culture."
Seattle supports LGBTQ people. Respect the local culture.
@damir_djk@natasakandic Predsjednik Republike je napravio točno ono što sam napisao upravo iz razloga koje sam naveo. On je veliki problem današnje Hrvatske. A sramota je na svima nama.
The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.
For nearly 18 months, the Trump administration and many analysts have thought of the US, Russia, and China as great powers deciding the fate of the world, unconstrained by lesser states. Now the US is the losing party in a Versailles peace agreement and Moscow looks like this:
Since the end of WWII there have been approx 25-50 million deaths from armed conflicts around the world.
The total number of deaths resulting from the Arab-Israeli conflict is approx 150,000, which ranks roughly between 40th and 50th in total fatalities compared to all global conflicts.
I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.
