Behind the choir will be an extraordinary backdrop: a #RoodScreen made not of wood but of stone, twisting & curving to the sky. It's been dated to the 1350s. So, just after the #BlackDeath... Who would have supported innovation at such a time?

A quotation from George Orwell
Artists don’t so much object to aesthetic discipline. Architects will design theatres or churches equally readily, writers will switch from the three-volume novel to the one-volume, or from the play to the film, according to the demand. But the point is that this is a political age. A writer inevitably writes — and less directly this applies to all the arts — about contemporary events, and his impulse is to tell what he believes to be the truth. But no government, no big organization, will pay for the truth. To take a crude example: can you imagine the British Government commissioning E. M. Forster to write A Passage to India? He could only write it because he was not dependent on State aid.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1944-10-13), “As I Please” column, Tribune NewspaperMore about this quote: wist.info/orwell-george/42525/

So, my #dentist is #catholic like most people in #mexico . Yes, she understands its a #religion brought to her ancestors by the point of a sword, but that doesn't seem to phase her faith in the slightest. Even more #hardcore, she goes to a specific church every so often to pray or give #patronage [or whatever chatolics do] to #Apollonia, the #patron #saint of dentists and toothaches. Why is she the patron saint of dentists and toothaches you ask? Because she had her teeth ripped out and / or shattered at the hands of an Alexandrian mob, that's why.
I find this both endearing and disturbing at the same time, and I can think of little else as she rakes metal instruments across my teeth. -

Capitalism’s defenders like to boast that it rewards talent. What capitalism actually rewards is saleability, compliance, stamina, inheritance, and the ability to endure long periods of spiritual self-betrayal without becoming visibly troublesome.

RE: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/116130113129035572
We have a fourth patron – thank you @neutrinoceros with a €50/month pledge – and our pledges are up to $200/month to cover the monthly cost of rent for Aseel’s family.
We have $400/month left to cover. If just 8 people match Clément’s pledge, we can move Aseel and her family out of a precarious existence in a tent and into relative stability in an apartment.
(Aseel is one of our volunteers at Gaza Verified. In the middle of everything she’s being forced to endure, she sits in on calls every week to help other Palestinians from Gaza. The least we can do is make sure she is safe and cared for.)
Please become a patron if you can and please share so others can see this and help.
Thank you!

Sabah is rich in resources, but politicians jail its wealth, using patronage to ensure dependency and easy bribes. The "Sabahan Malas" stereotype and using religion to gaslight are tactics to hide this reality. Focus on corrupt leaders and demand a fair system.

#Tesla uses #ChineseCourts to #SilenceCritics & make them pay.
Tesla has won nearly 90% of its #lawsuits in China, showing how Musk has thrived in a system in which regulators, the media & the courts must all answer to the #CCP.
It's not common practice for automakers — in #China or elsewhere — to sue their customers, but Tesla has pioneered an aggressive #legal strategy & leveraged the #patronage of powerful leaders in the Chinese Communist Party to silence critics, reap financial rewards and limit its accountability.

Much of the world still relies on such #patronage systems, & they are both #corrupt & corrupting. #Politicians hand out job appointments in exchange for #bribes... Patronage creates bad #government & bad services, because it means govt employees serve a patron, not a country or its constitution."

"courses often perceived as platforms for building connections among #elite gps, privileging those w high #socialstatus, financial means & influential networks. This practice reinforces #patronage systems, perpetuating #inequality in #Thai #society..

The truth about copyright: even successful authors can’t live on the royalties publishers pay them
Copyright is built on a lie that most people seem to accept: artists can make a decent living from the current system of rewards that copyright provides. As Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) explores, all the data about artist remuneration shows that isn’t true. Alongside such dry statistics, it’s good to hear about the personal experiences of creators, and I […]
