“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

What's a great song from the 1980s that still sounds as fresh today as it did when it was released?

Many of them had no choice in their bravery. THAT is what we need to remember.

This is an image from @I_W_M of British Commandos on a landing craft approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. 82 years ago today.
War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices to defeat fascism so that they should never be necessary again.

BEAT - Three of a Perfect Pair

[Let Us Now Praise... The Beatles @BeatlesPraise]

"I first saw the Beatles in Manchester of all places. They were scheduled to play that night. They came through the front door about three in the afternoon to set up their equipment, and every girl in there stopped dead in their tracks.  It was like four Marlon Brandos had walked in.  They had an innate, primordial swagger.  Aside from the raw energy they put out, they looked fantastic.  A total coolness emanated off them, like a Young Riders kind of vibe. You know, they’d swing the door open and they’d all be standing there while the dust settled around them.  They hadn’t even played a note, and the girls would swoon and faint.  Fuckin’ fantastic . . .

"In general, that band was flat-out amazing, and everybody knew it. They played a molten, scruffy brand of rock ‘n’ roll. And they had attitude in spades. They’d swear and smoke onstage, tell off the audience, all of which just added to their mystique. The Hollies didn’t have that kind of power.

"They were very protected by a filtering system between the four of them.  They were always together, even if there was a room full of people and they were all separated.  I got to see it all unfolding before my eyes.  And I was aware that it was historical.  It was almost spiritual.  When you saw the Beatles, and saw the effect they had on people, you knew something special was happening.

"I don’t think there’ll ever be another Beatles. I think that the universe put those four kids in the right place at the right time, and gave them the right talent, to be able to move the hearts and minds and spirits of billions of people. The Beatles were the best band in the world, there’s absolutely no question about it."

η κουβέντα που ξεκίνησε για τις γυναίκες που κακοποιήθηκαν σεξουαλικά το 1974 δεν αφορά μόνο την Τουρκία, αφορά και την κυπριακή πολιτεία, την κοινωνία και την Εκκλησία που με τη στάση τους καταδίκασαν αυτές τις γυναίκες να ζουν μέσα στη σιωπή και το τραύμα για μισό αιώνα.

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
