What Democracy Brings

„Selbst wenn es stimmen sollte, dass überproportional viele Journalisten die SPD oder die Grünen wählen: Die Medien berichten über Gewalt eher nach den Deutungsmustern der AfD.“
Ich möchte fast jeden Satz in diesem Interview unterstreichen:
www.zeit.de/politik/deut...
"You can't policy your way out of a right-wing propaganda problem."
Louder for the people in the back! At no point will any right-wing party be like "You know what, I think as a nation we are now cruel enough to immigrants and LGBTQ-people. Let's focus on something else for a change."
All Girls Should Have a Poem For Valerie All girls should have a poem written for them even if we have to turn this God-damn world upside down to do it. New Mexico March 16, 1969
A poem, by Richard Brautigan, for World Book Day. I like how this poem is a duck/rabbit, its meaning different if you imagine it was written by a man (Brautigan) or spoken by a woman (Valerie).

Some Canadian poetry for today. From Margaret Atwood's book, Morning in the Burned House.

Watercolor painting of red poppies in a tea cup with the caption: rekindle hearts in a world that grows chill
“Take now this Ring, for thy labours and thy cares will be heavy, but in all it will support thee and defend thee from weariness. For this is the Ring of Fire, and herewith, maybe, thou shalt rekindle hearts to the valour of old in a world that grows chill…” - The Silmarillion

Space Marine Dreadnought WIP Kitbash. Mix of the statue of a ghostly Ferryman and the chassis of a Redemptor Dreadnought.

„Das Prinzip der Gewaltenteilung beruht aber darauf, dass die Gewalten gegenseitig ihre Autorität anerkennen, die Exekutive die Urteile von Gerichten durchsetzt und sich daran hält. Wenn das nicht mehr gewährleistet ist, gibt es keine Gewaltenteilung mehr. So etwas nennt man dann Verfassungskrise.“

The bulk of my Risen Dark Angels: The Seraphim Sepulchri. Mostly Dreadnoughts, and though Redemptor chassis, interred with Fallen from the Heresy (and one or two sons of other Legions?). Survivors of the strike at the Hollow Mountain.

“Evil labours with vast power and perpetual success–in vain, preparing always only the soil for unexpected good to sprout in.” (Letters, 46)
Evil cannot conquer forever! In the end, it was not the might of men or elves that unmade the power of the Ring: it was the hobbits, in their unassuming frailty, who brought about the downfall of Sauron. Though we may feel small, remember Frodo and take heart; never resign yourself to despair.

Two Warhammer boxes: a Dreadnought and Awlrach the Drowner from Age of Sigmar.
+++ The Ferryman rises from its deep grave...
I'm open for inspirations and ideas, especially for the weapons. Thinking of an oar or axe at the moment! The Seraphim Sepulchri get a new member and I may climb out of my hobby slumber.

Im Jahr 2025 kann die politische Strategie nicht sein die extreme Rechte inhaltlich zu entzaubern oder zu entlarven.
Nein,…
It is a relief to know that our ancestors were worriers — awake in the darkness with crowded minds. Their worry is why we’re here.

Hi everyone. We are in the middle of a misinformation war. During these times it is critical to learn to identify and deal with fake news.
@profsanderlinden.bsky.social is someone you should definitely be following. Look at the attached profile and his book.

An interactive version of our Middle-earth biome map has just launched!
This tool allows you to inspect any area of Middle-earth and get a detailed list of the plant species that would occur in each area, along with a bunch of reference pictures.

Oh it is so difficult! 😄 Saw another one and thought for myself: "Fool of a...! That wouldve been a great answer." Glad I cheated

If you incorporate *any* feature or trait that is tied to a real life race onto an evil race - it looks like you're tying the two together.
