You'd think. But y'all might have a hard time appreciating how normal all of this is for the majority of American history. We mythologize our "E Plurabus Unum" system, especially after WWII, but analyze our past without a filter and it's not exactly encouraging. Egalitarianism doesn't have place in what has, more often than not, been an oligarchy. -

Hi Everyone, This week's brand new music tracks are: On my Sci-Fi 14 page: "CYBER INNER CITY" - So sad…but maybe useful for a cut-scene. You can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Cyber-Inner-City.mp3 And download it here: https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-14/ On my Chiptunes 5 page: "THE GOBLINS OF PIXELTOWN " - (Looping) – Going about their goblin-y business. https://soundimage.org/chiptunes-5/ As always, they're 100% free to use in your projects with attribution, just like my thousands of other music tracks. OTHER HELPFUL (I HOPE) LINKS: https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ https://soundimage.org/attribution-info/ Enjoy and please stay safe. 🙂 -
Micro Four Thirds is probably not gonna exist in the near future duo to exceptionally poor sales since both Matsushita and OM Group has decided to deinvest, OM-Systems might maintain a lineup for a few years although I am interested in what they will do now that the TowerJazz 20 megapixel photography sensor is getting more difficult to buy in bulk since the 12 day war. Less sales also means higher price for buying fewer sensors, guess they will be forced to take industrial Four Thirds sensors and adapting them to MFT mount. I have used medium format for aurora pictures just as a funny test, but gotta say, I did not enjoy how shallow depth of field even on a wide lens once you crank the aperture wide open. On MFT its much easier to maintain deep depth even with F1.2. Also with MFT you can use Metabones adapter to push physics to its limits, Canon 50mm F1.2 with the Ultra x0.64 XL will essentially give you 64mm F0.8 - it does however perform more like T1.4 however in terms of light transmission when measured accurately - Both the Lumix G9 and G9II basically perform the same in photography, the G9M2 however is an absolute THE best hybrid camera money can buy, everything is very reliable, its got the best video codecs - people praise Sony but their video codecs are absolute garbage and limited choices, Fujifilm still struggles with autofocus specially on their older lenses with the stepping motors. Canon are all heavy, limited glass the Canon R7 and Canon R8 are well priced but suffers from slow sensors and the R8 has no IBIS, the R7 IBIS is mediocre but better than Nikon by miles. At least Canon APS-C has Sigma. Rumours of professional APS-C cameras from all the main characters will probably kill off the MFT cameras in terms of competitiveness, APS-C lenses are not super big compared to MFT. -

I think it's more likely that the ICE agents who terrorized ordinary people will find themselves in prison when all has been said than done (and when the authoritarian regime has fallen) and they should probably avoid antagonizing the people they ultimately are responsible to (the American people). -

I think the problem is governments have not only voters but powerful supporters which can give financing to campaigns and influence policy in other ways such as lobbying. In particular, the pro-Israel lobby seems very powerful in many Western countries and anything that could be seen as being critical of Israel or its policies can really trigger these groups. Even if it is actually genocide that Israel is carrying out, many Christian groups somehow take it very personally and some may actually believe that friends of Israel get rewarded by their god and others punished; what Israel actually does seems irrelevant to these people, she is always right in their minds. Now, a government may be influenced by the pro-Israel groups and behave like civilized people in other areas of government, with this one exception. I wonder if Netanyahu really needs to kill as many Arabs as Hitler killed Jews before these people wake up, or if they even then would continue to support him. A retribution by killing 100 or 1000 times as many people as the opposing side has killed would seem normal Israeli policy and in their mind there is no need to being proportional or fair. I agree that the data collection both by companies and governments, potential cracking of secure communications between individuals, and facial recognition is government overreaching and the respect for privacy should be restored as a core value. There is nothing so bad happening in UK or EU at the moment that would warrant constant survellaince or reading private messages.
