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.

I wonder if they would consider themselves harmed if their homes were bulldozed to make way for an oil derrick.

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 Supreme Court has consistently upheld that the First Amendment applies to anyone in the US. The Trump regime is now trying to argue that non-citizens don't have many basic constitutional rights. This is very dangerous, especially the deportations without due process. If they can incarcerate and deport people into foreign prisons without any proof, as they have been doing, then they can do that to anyone, including citizens.
