"The classical end of all pure democracy is the popular tyrant. And incidentally all successful tyrants throughout history have been popular idols."
- Dorothy Thompson, 1938.
Miss Thompson (a.k.a. Mrs. Sinclair Lewis) was the first US correspondent to be expelled from Germany after interviewing Chancellor Hitler. She stated upon arrival in Paris that he "is no longer a man, he is a religion."
Thompson also got thrown out of the German-American Bund's massive NAZI rally at the Madison Square Garden in 1939 for heckling the speakers.
What a woman!
"The history of the German-American Bund reminds us that facism is ultra-nationalist. In other words, there is no such thing as foerign facism. Facism is always home grown."
- Sarah Churchwell, Cultural Historian.

Emily Writes about the sad reality of #Aotearoa #NewZealand losing its courage to stand up for what is right.
That courage, that spirit of justice, is nowhere to be found when it comes to #Israel ’s brutal genocide and ethnic cleansing of #Palestinians.
Our reputation is in tatters, and we can never claim to be a country that stands up for what is right, regardless of what the #US thinks, if we don’t act immediately.

Introducing a special collaboration between Aotearoa + Gaza. Aotearoa was once a place renowned for its courage. Despite a dark colonial history that still causes significant harm today, as a country, we have fought to do better.Emily Writes (Emily Writes Weekly)

Final Fantasy (1987) for the NES.
The game that kicked off what would become the most iconic JRPG series of all time. A lot of people mistakenly think it was the first JRPG—but it wasn’t. What it was, though, was the one that introduced most Western players to the genre.
The mechanics are straightforward, heavily inspired by Wizardry and Ultima with their obsession over stats and party composition. Yet so many of the things we now consider JRPG archetypes—job classes, elemental magic, overworld exploration—were solidified here.
I never owned Final Fantasy as a kid, but when I finally got my own NES years later, this was one of the first cartridges I hunted down.

The image shows a wooden utility pole with a handwritten sign attached to it. The sign is white with black text and reads "NO ICE IN PDX" in large letters, followed by "Disgraceful Gestapo!!" in smaller letters. The pole has a metal plate with the number "80" and a label with the text "Police Ministry A1721242." In the background, there is a building with a slanted roof and a tree, suggesting an outdoor setting. The ground is paved with colorful markings, possibly indicating a playground or park area. The sign's message appears to be a protest or statement, possibly related to a local issue in Portland, Oregon (PDX).

@vermaden has hit the nail on its head, when he talks in this article about a simple, yet extremely efficient protocol, to distribute software and data
I'm not going to spoil which protocol it is even though you can see it in the link

The image shows a screenshot of a mobile device displaying a text post on a dark background. The post discusses the frustrations of movie streaming services and Formula 1 TV subscriptions. It highlights the issue of content becoming unavailable after a certain period, despite the user having paid for a subscription. The text mentions the Back to the Future trilogy and Formula 1, specifically referencing the 2007 Japan GP. The post includes a screenshot of a video player showing a low-resolution video of a Formula 1 race, with a resolution of 1024x576 and a bitrate of 4114 kbps. The video appears to be from the 2007 Japan GP, with a timestamp of 13:37. The device's status bar at the top shows the time as 23:38, a 4G signal, and a battery level of 53%.
