The Acropolis Museum in Athens communicates this theft very effectively and poignantly. The top floor is 1:1 scale to the original Parthenon. All the marbles are shown, including both the ones Greece has and the stolen marbles reconstructed in a bright white plaster. Just walking through and looking at it all you can feel the sense of loss and injustice.

This is the brutalism we want

If you don’t want people driving who aren’t in a mental state where they should be driving, then you need good viable alternatives to driving. Otherwise people will continue to suck it up and drive when they are tired, sick, stressed, had a single beer, etc.

I love democracy. I love the Republic. Once this crisis has abated, I will lay down the powers you have given me!

Just saw The Encampments last night in theaters. Mahmoud Khalil features prominently. Highly recommend everyone go watch and support.

At least the game key cards are still transferable and not tied to any one account or device

They’ve already started moving production to India and Vietnam to avoid China tariffs, but moving to the US is definitely unviable regardless.

Ah so it’s the same. Whenever I have a MacBook in for repairs under warranty I just go and buy another one and return it when I pick up my repaired one haha

If your trip is less than 2 weeks then you can also buy one from the Apple Store

The way mantis shrimp see is nonetheless super cool and interesting. They likely have no conception of 2D color at all, and can only sense the 12 different colors in general. Furthermore, only the midband of their eyes see color, when the eyes are moving and scanning for prey, they don’t see color at all, which probably helps offload mental load for their small brains. Once they do see something, they then stop moving their eyes to determine the color of what they’re looking at.

Also, mantis shrimp have 6 more photoreceptors in addition to the 12 colored ones, to detect polarized light. They likely see them the same way that they see color, so they probably don’t consider them anything different than wavelength which is what we interpret as color.

Ed Yong’s An Immense World has a section on this and I’d highly recommend it. The ways animals sense and perceive the world are often so different for ours and it’s so fascinating.

I’d say grifting as much money as possible. In this case, they’re trying to fund their tax cuts on the wealthy with these tariffs

I’d question the underlying assumption of your question - were indie films more thriving in the 70s compared to today? Indie films today are certainly thriving - there are more of them than ever, distributors such as A24 make them widely known and they also grow organically online as well. Most cities have small film festivals that indie films make the circuits in. Oscars are now being won by indie films instead of blockbusters. That doesn’t mean they are profitable though which was the topic of the OP. I don’t think indie films were particularly profitable in the 70s either though?

I was confused for far longer than I should have wondering how John Lewis could’ve done this since he died in 2020.
