The Spiral of Police Violence: A Work of Art Criticism

This photograph taken during the 2017 G20 summit truly captures the timeless spirit of policing.

Our art critic in residence explores the compositional elements that give the photograph its expressive power.

A fairly good general reference video about historical/traditional fashion of various cultures and peoples (including hanfu, but not just hanfu) that have been part of Chinese history:

The video is arranged in chronological order, below are the timestamps:

  • 0:24 - Warring States period/战国 hanfu (for those who don't know: hanfu/汉服 is the historical and traditional outfits of Han people/汉族)
  • 1:16 - Western Han dynasty/西汉 hanfu
  • 2:11 - Jingjue Kingdom/精绝 and Loulan Kingdom/楼兰 historical outfits
  • 2:45 - Eastern Han dynasty/东汉 to Three Kingdoms period/三国 hanfu
  • 3:51 - Northern Dynasties/北朝 Xianbei/鲜卑 historical outfits
  • 4:46 - Southern Dynasties/南朝 hanfu
  • 5:25 - Sui dynasty/隋 hanfu
  • 5:56 - Tang dynasty/唐 hanfu
  • 6:38 - Sogdian/粟特 historical outfits
  • 6:59 - Tubo Empire/吐蕃 Tibetan/藏族 historical outfits
  • 7:38 - Huihu/回鹘 historical outfits (Qocho Huihu Kingdom/高昌回鹘 and Ganzhou Huihu Kingdom/甘州回鹘; note: Huihu people are the ancestors of the modern Uyghur people/维吾尔族)
  • 8:21 - Nanzhao Kingdom/南诏 historical outfits (of the ancestors of the modern Yi people/彝族 and Bai people/白族)
  • 9:07 - Five Dynasties/五代 hanfu
  • 9:57 - Northern Song dynasty/北宋 hanfu
  • 10:38 - Liao dynasty/辽 Khitan/契丹 historical outfits
  • 11:21 - Jin dynasty/金 Jurchen/女真 historical outfits
  • 12:07 - Western Xia/西夏 Tangut/党项 historical outfits
  • 12:37 - Dali Kingdom/大理 historical outfits (of the ancestors of the modern Bai people/白族)
  • 13:20 - Southern Song dynasty/南宋 hanfu
  • 14:00 - Yuan dynasty/元 Mongolian/蒙古族 historical outfits
  • 14:58 - Yuan dynasty women's hanfu
  • 15:24 - Ming dynasty/明 hanfu
  • 16:24 - Qing dynasty/清 Manchu/满族 traditional outfits
  • 16:59 - Qing dynasty Han women's outfit

**Note: as mentioned by the OP, due to the lack of suriviving physical artifacts for some time periods/cultures/kingdoms/dynasties, there is a certain amount of speculation in this video based on other artifacts/records like wall murals, paintings, figurines, and historical records.

Several documentaries publically treating Luigi Mangione as guilty before his trial even started got released over the past 2 months.

Here's the billion dollar companies behind them.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEANDERTHAL CHILD WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME? Because they're all I've been thinking about when I'm sad for the past few days. Their existence makes me less sad.

Did you know that this is not a rarity? We have found remains showing catastrophic injuries - permanently disabling ones. With fully remodeled, healed bones.

It is NOT the default, it is NOT human nature to exclude disabled people from society. By nature we look after each other, by nature disability is just a natural part of the human variety that's made us so successful as a species.

By nature, people love.

Si la migra aparecen en su puerta

  • no abras la puerta. Estate calmado. Usted tiene derechos.
  • Si piden entrar, pregunten si tienen una orden firmada por un juez.
  • Si dicen que lo tienen, piden verlo.
  • Una orden de administración de ICE (formulario 1-200, 1-205) no les permite entrar a su hogar sin su consentimiento.
  • Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, usted puede negarse a dejarlos entrar
  • Si se fuerzan, no resistan. Dile a todos en la residencia que permanezcan en silencio.
  • Si usted es arrestado, permanezca en silencio y no firme nada hasta que hable con un abogado.

Una traducción al español más precisa:

Si los agentes de inmigración aparecen en tu puerta:

  • No abras la puerta, mantente calmado, tienes derechos.
  • Si piden entrar, pregunta si tienen una orden firmada por un juez.
  • Si lo hacen, pide verla.
  • Una orden de la administración de la ICE (forma 1-200, 1-205) no les permite entrar a tu casa sin tu consentimiento.
  • Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte a dejarlos pasar.
  • Si fuerzan su entrada, no te resistas. Dile a todos en la residencia que permanezcan en silencio.
  • Si eres arrestado, mantente en silencio y no firmes nada sin antes ver a un abogado.

"they stopped talking about luigi mangione to silence us" his next court appearance is 9:00 AM at the New York Supreme Criminal Court, 100 Centre Street, February 21.

the reference number is IND-75657-24/001. it is within your constitutional rights to protest outside of the courthouse, make signs, and voice your opinions as loudly as you can. YOU don't have to stop talking about him. show up.

a reminder that captain america 4: brave new world (which was supposed to be called captain america: new world order btw, if you didnt know) is officially on the bds boycott list because of its revival of anti-palestinian character sabra, so lets not watch or engage with it in any way! and always remember: free palestine 🇵🇸

Specific calls for action are:

  • Cancel (or refuse to sign up for) Disney+ subscription
  • Boycott all Marvel merchandise
  • Refuse to attend screenings of Captain America: Brave New World

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Writers: It's asking to read your Google Docs and be able to 'summarize' things from them and such things. I just turned all mine off.

Because this isn't mentioned above, also go to google.com/drive/settings and turn off all the annoying bits that interface directly with docs there.

This is all in the "privacy" tab of your settings. How fun that everything is hidden two layers deep. 🙄 This DOESN'T get rid of the stupid little star constantly asking you to use it, unfortunately, but that's what the picker in ublock is for. 😉

More detail instructions for OP's post for those who are confused. This is done from the browser on my laptop, I don't know what they look like on phones.

When you click the first link gemini.google.com/extensions, you need to click on the setting icon at the bottom, then choose "Extension", like this:

Scroll down a bit, you will see the options, turn them all off.

Then, you click on the second link myactivity.google.com/product/gemini, you'll see it tells you that it's already "turn off". NO! IT'S NOT! You have to click on that "Turn off" option, it'll drop down a menu like this:

Turn that thing off. Until that button shows you have to click to turn it back on like this:

And then, click on the delete button down there too, even if it says there's nothing to delete, just do it as a caution.

After you's done with those two. You go to your Drive, find the Setting button.

Click on the "Privacy" tab, choose the button "Manage Workspace smart feature setting"

Tick both of those off, then click Save. Or if you still want to use Google AI assistant for some reasons, please read the fine lines very very carefully.

Only then, you can feel safe enough with this force AI assistant bullshit. FOR NOW 🤡 All these steps still can't get rid of that Gemini blinkblink icon though >:(((((

Repeat for every one of your google accounts 💀

can confirm it looks pretty much the same on mobile

if you already had your google account on the highest privacy settings possible (as i did with my main), gemini is off by default, there won't be anything in the extensions tab and you don't have to turn it off

but i did have to go through this process with my other accounts, so do check all of them

“That is the tension at the heart of Trump’s whole strategy: Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him.”

This article gave me some hope

Really smart take.

These are people that believe perception and PR are everything, so they're trying to create the perception that they can destroy and remake government without consequences or constraints. And for a while people were stunned and overwhelmed by the ugliness of it all.

But now people are moving. Many, many lawsuits have been filed and the people are starting to claim their power.

Don't despair and don't give up. We're not done yet.

You might be more than one. You might be different ones at different times. 🫶🏽🫶🏽 you might not be one of these. There are more roles 💪🏽 but this is an amazing intro.

You can’t just like the idea and envision yourself in one of these roles you have to figure out how to be about it ♥️🫶🏽
