A quotation from Orwell

I never read the proclamations of generals before battle, the speeches of fuehrers and prime ministers, the solidarity songs of public schools and left-wing political parties, national anthems, Temperance tracts, papal encyclicals and sermons against gambling and contraception, without seeming to hear in the background a chorus of raspberries from all the millions of common men to whom these high sentiments make no appeal.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-09), “The Art of Donald McGill,” Horizon Magazine

A quotation from Will Rogers

And be careful about calling them Common People. Nobody wants to be called Common People, especially common people.

Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist
Column (1925-06-21), “Weekly Article”

It’s just dumb that stores that are now allowed to beer somehow didn’t sign up for bottle returns;

What?!;

Yeah, you did sign up for that;

A quotation from Orwell

In each great revolutionary struggle the masses are led on by vague dreams of human brotherhood, and then, when the new ruling class is well established in power, they are thrust back into servitude. This is practically the whole of political history, as Burnham sees it. […] History consists of a series of swindles, in which the masses are first lured into revolt by the promise of Utopia, and then, when they have done their job, enslaved over again by the new masters.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1946-05), “Second Thoughts on James Burnham,” Polemic Magazine

Pulp llega a la cima de la fama y el éxito en 1995 con la publicación de Different Class, el que para muchos es el disco definitivo del britpop (parafraseo el articulo que compartí hace poco). Un álbum de letras profundas y melodías pegajosas y bailables. De ahí «Common People», un clásico generacional.

#CommonPeople ...
Net de eerste aflevering gezien van de nieuwe #BlackMirror

Ow ... het zou zomaar kunnen. In de #USA van vandaag zie ik het gebeuren als de mogelijkheid er is.
Ik verklap liever geen spoilers. Maar mijn afkeer van #abbonementendiensten is al langer aan het groeien.

Nog eventjes bekomen

Ich denke, #CommonPeople ist die bislang gruseligste Folge von #BlackMirror.
🤯😵‍💫

Alors OK, la série Black Mirror est censée être un peu cynique, tout ça, mais "Common people", l'épisode 1 de la saison 7 il m'a collé le cafard mais d'une force ! C'est très réussi et l'angoisse était très communicative mais Wow je sais pas pourquoi cet épisode m'a déprimé à ce point.

"They can extract your selfness from you, grab your own ideas and opinions from the palms of your hands, then place their own views in the depths of your mind. They can claim that they have answers, that this is the new popular way to solve any problem, that this is what you really want, what you actually need..."

Hace tiempo que #BlackMirror ya no habla sobre un futuro distópico, sino sobre una relidad salvaje. #Commonpeople

#CommonPeople wasnt entirely unlike my thought that Neuralink customers might start being served virtual 100 foot wide adverts on their retinas when they closed their eyes and tried to sleep, if they didn't pat a monthly subscription to Elon. The ad aspect had a slightly different twist #blackmirror

Common People was the pick. 9/10. Tear jerker of an ending. #commonpeople #blackmirror
