People have reclaimed some of the public space that we lost to cars. Losing rights and privileges to new technology is not as inevitable as Jensen Huang wants to present it.

Car-free streets, streets with restricted access, streets where cars have the lowest priority, temporarily closed streets, ... I don't know a single commune that doesn't have some of these, it's not the 1970s anymore.

Here's a checklist of when a regime can be considered fascist: https://osbcontent.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/PC-00466.pdf

The usa federal government is currently at 14 out of 14. It could be nitpicked a bit by saying that USA federal elections aren't fraudulent yet, that the Trump admin is merely trying to make them fraudulent, but imo trying is enough.

The list is from 2003, so it predates the Trump presidency and it wasn't tailored to fit the current usa government.

The existence of this black robe regiment was invented in 2010 by David Barton: https://boston1775.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-roots-of-black-robed-regiment-in.html?m=1

David Barton is known for persistently making false claims: https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch/post/david-barton-keeps-spreading-false-christian-nationalist-historyOne of his books won a vote for "least credible history book in print", before it was pulled by his publisher: https://www.splcenter.org/resources/reports/christian-historian-denounced-propagandist-sees-book-withdrawn/

So it's a recent myth, invented by a known fraud, which means that those republican Texans are bound to know that it's completely made up. That they still want to add this to the official curriculum shows where their priorities are: indoctrination > knowledge and understanding.

Another case where vans are the superior utility vehicle: strap your long stuff onto your roof rack.

The generic name for Revlimid is Lenalidomide.
"Since its initial approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2005 for the treatment of certain cancers, the price of Lenalidomide, manufactured by Celgene, has risen significantly. At its launch, the cost per pill was $218, equating to an annual cost of approximately $55,000 for a standard regimen. Following FDA approval for multiple myeloma in mid-2006, the price per pill increased to $280, or about $70,560 annually. As of 2023, the price per pill had reached $892.

Since its approval, Revlimid cost has increased 26 times. According to a deposition by a Celgene executive, marked as highly confidential, the manufacturing cost of each Revlimid pill has remained approximately $0.25 throughout this period. Celgene claimed its patent protected Revlimid until 2027, and has engaged in several practices to prevent other manufacturers from producing a generic version of the drug, including refusing to sell the drug to other drug makers for testing purposes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenalidomide

Lenalidomide became available as a generic medicine in the Netherlands in 2022. The price in the Netherlands then dropped from €218 to €0.90 per pill. https://www.margriet.nl/gezondheid/kankermedicijn-revlimid-goedkoper-waarom~b43e1f4b/

I thought for a second that she was showing off her new fur shawl.

What is the payload of the statue of liberty rocket and when is it being shot into space? I'd love to watch that.

This explanation falls apart when it comes to the SS symbol.

Gog claims that they were using the sowilo rune, but as you found they were using the lower case koppa letter. The sowilo rune is included in unicode, there was no reason to use the greek letter koppa for it ... unless they wanted to hint at something else. And the elephant in the room: why did they put 2 of the things next to eachother? Gog hasn't found a suitable excuse for that so far.

It's an obvious dog whistle and it's rightfully being called out.

You're indeed wrong about Germany, the different attachments don't follow the iron curtain at all. Both west-and east Germany have regions with different attachment color.

Most of the regions with a strong regional attachment seem to correspond to the larger independent states before German unification in the 19th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_of_Germany.Mecklenburg, Wurttemberg, Bayern and Upper Saxony are all 4 recognizable on the map of the op. The bit below Denmark was ruled in a personal union by the Danish monarch before the unification wars.

France tried their best to split Saarland off from Germany several times, which might explain their strong regional attachment.
