You ever listen to the mariachi one Hugh Cornwell did a few years back? It's my go-to song to play when i'm given a nylon string guitar.

And yeah, Dave Greenfield just looked like that lmao.

I just think of "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers when I hear it now.

“They did not just read Ibn Taymiyya. They didn't just read Sayyid Qutb. They didn't just read Hassan al-Banna. They read Lenin, they read Jean-Paul Sartre, they read Fyodor Dostoevsky. They read everything that they could come across as they tried to figure out the future and the way forward and out of that Palestinian impasse."

An interview with Dr. Mohammed Al-Hindi, one of the leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The old thread is dying, and the new thread struggles to be born: now is the time of posters.

Beneath all the shitposting and memes about the war, the most yea moment i've felt about this was when i was in Cuba earlier this year. I had a conversation with an older russian man, and he showed me pictures on his phone. Pictures of his youth, hanging out with friends, drinking, partying, etc. But, he also showed me pictures of his unit. A ragtag mix of russians and ukrainians. All under the red banner. He showed me a picture of him at a cafe with those same people many years later. 2021. He doesn't know if he'll ever see them again.
