For most of the world, the dark days of Covid-19 feel like a distant memory. But not in North Korea, said Justin Martell, who just became the first known American to step foot inside the secretive nation since the onset of the pandemic more than five years ago. Strict health measures, such as mask-wearing and temperature checks, are still routine, and popular tourist sites, including local markets, remain off-limits due to lingering fears of virus transmission. Martell said that pandemic paranoia remains deeply entrenched in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), as North Korea is officially known. He even encountered bizarre theories about the virus’s origins.
Beef: There's this neat article about information-poor interfaces... Oh and there's also a humor essay by a writer from that McSweeny's whatever-it-is...It's kind of self aware and overwrought but it's better than most of the ads Molly: Ha ha! Did you ever notice how McSweeny's kind of approaches humor with like a lab coat and a pair of tweezers? Beef: Hee hee yeah they really are uncomfortable around the stuff Molly: It's like they don't really know where they belong given all the writing that's come before them, so they just rip off old New Yorker pieces! Beef: I know it's like they're just playing among the ruins of a once-great literary culture that is no longer relevant and struggles for justification

Just know, you’re “peaceful” protests aren’t gonna do shit either. I’m not saying this to be mean or snarky. I wish they did anything. They don’t. Ever. This system only understands one language.
"Every man and woman today is in duty bound to his conscience, to his son and his mother, to his country and to mankind to examine his heart and conscience and reply to the question: what is it that gave rise to racism, what can be done in order that Nazism, Hitlerism may never rise again, either on this or the other side of the ocean, never unto eternity. The imperialist idea of national, race, or any other exceptionalism led the Hitlerites logically to Majdanek, Sobibor, Belzec, Oswiecim and Treblinka. We must remember that racism, fascism will emerge from this war not only with bitter recollections of defeat but also with sweet memories of the ease with which it is possible to slaughter millions of defenceless people. This must be solemnly borne in mind by all who value honour? liberty and the life of all nations. of all mankind."
A quote tweet where David Aaronovitch is QTing Rivkah Brown's apology tweet. The apology reads "I’ve deleted this tweet. I responded too quickly and in a moment of heightened emotion. Witnessing Palestinians defy decades of oppression hardened me to the suffering of Israeli civilians, including my friends and family, and I regret that. I’m sorry. 1/3" and David's tweet reads "Some apologies are obviously heartfelt and should be welcomed. We all make mistakes. This one strikes me, given the writer’s history, as utterly insincere. If the apology were made to me, I wouldn’t accept it."

It’s 2001, you’re a big corporation and the moment JK Rowling dies you can make a Harry Potter movie or print Harry Potter books.

And how does the bourgeoisie get over these crises? On the one hand by enforced destruction of a mass of productive forces; on the other, by the conquest of new markets, and by the more thorough exploitation of the old ones. That is to say, by paving the way for more extensive and more destructive crises, and by diminishing the means whereby crises are prevented. The weapons with which the bourgeoisie felled feudalism to the ground are now turned against the bourgeoisie itself. But not only has the bourgeoisie forged the weapons that bring death to itself; it has also called into existence the men who are to wield those weapons — the modern working class — the proletarians.
