  2. This is #brilliant (from Democratic Socialists of America USA)

    “I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally #toxic and depraved he is.

    “I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.

    “If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy.

    “If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in #humiliation and #conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.

    “If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, #bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy.

    “If wh*** #grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If #warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If #empathy feels like weakness and #dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.

    “If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them.

    “That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.

    “It was never really about him. It was about the #Validation. The #absolution. The #permission. He didn’t invent the #resentment he amplified it. He didn’t create the #cruelty he #normalized it. He gave millions the #intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest #impulses echoed back at rally volume.”

  7. What better to spend the christmas days with, than to catch up with the brilliant TV adaption of a brilliant game-series?
    #goodtimes #fallout #amazonprime #tvseries #gaming #brilliant #mustsee #games #falloutseason2

  8. #HullUrbanOperaCollective presents Neil Balfour performing The Cold Song (What Power Art Thou) from Purcell's opera 'King Arthur.'

    The audio & video in this performance was a continuous #LiveRecording by artsongstory.

    Director: Russell Plows
    Musical Director: Benjamin Newton
    Performance: Neil Balfour (www.neilbalfour.com)
    Audio & Video Recording: Ben Rawles
    Designer: Liz Dees & Charles Huckvale at Apus Productions
    Makeup and Wigs: Venice Marshall

    A beaten, abused and broken down #Yeti is paraded around Hull as entertainment for onlookers to marvel and gawp at. Mid-performance the Yeti's inner-beast starts to surface and he pleads for help from the audience. It's one last attempt at breaking free. However, the power of 'the cane' returns him back into his box.

    LYRICS:

    What power art thou, who from below
    Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
    From beds of everlasting, everlasting snow
    See'st thou not how stiff, how stiff and wondrous old
    Far unfit to bear the bitter cold
    I can scarcely move or draw my breath
    Let me, let me freeze again to death
