Frederick Wiseman changed the way we see the world.

From the classrooms of High School to the corridors of Hospital, he turned his camera on the institutions that shape us — inviting us to look closer, sit longer & confront truth with empathy. 

May his memory be a blessing.

Denmark just made your face and voice your intellectual property It became the 1st country in Europe where your face, voice, and body are now your property. A new law gives citizens full control over their digital selves

When Oviedo were at risk of folding in 2012, Real Madrid bought €100,000 worth of shares (which they ceded to the council). Today they’re the first opponents to come to the Tartiere in primera in 24 years. Gracias.

I’ve reported 18 wars over 35 years. I’ve been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I’ve lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen. #GazaGenocide #WarCrimes

"Why was the flight delayed for an hour?" "The pilot saw a problem with one of the engines, but it's okay now." "Wow, you've replaced an engine in an hour?" "No, we've replaced the pilot" (An old Soviet joke... Congrats, America)
The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

The English translation of Amos Oz’s daughter’s message:
חיילים, סדיר ומילואים, הורים של חיילים, סבים של חיילים, כבר אין דרך אחרת: סרבו לשרת בעזה. סרבו, סרבו, סרבו. החטופים ומשפחותיהם האומללות נבגדו בידי ממשלת ישראל. הרעב ההמוני בעזה הוא עובדה מחרידה ונחרצת. ההרג היומי במרכזי חלוקת המזון איננו הגנה עצמית אלא פשע מלחמה מזעזע. החוק הבינלאומי כבר מזמן לא לצידנו. חיילים מקריבים את חייהם הצעירים לשווא, וגרוע מלשווא: למטרה מזיקה והרסנית. הציבור המתון בעולם ואחרוני ידידי ישראל מתרחקים מאיתנו בבעתה. לא מפני שהם אנטישמים, מפני שהם בני אדם. הימין המשיחי גורר אותנו בטירופו לבידוד מוחלט בעולם, באמונה מוחלטת שיש אלוהים והוא לטובתנו. סרבו, סרבו, סרבו.

Cineplexx je vrtel tuje filme brez podnapisov ali sinhronizacije. Inšpektorat za kulturo in medije je kršitev zdaj tudi uradno potrdil. Podjetje je medtem izvajalo močan sodni pritisk na prijavitelja, obenem pa so na našem trgu v vse večjih težavah. Več na vecer.com/kultura

Oh, so they didn't need to flatten Gaza.
This is how precise Israel's intelligence and execution is: pinpointed attack eliminating head of IRGC directly in his apartment, nearly 2,000 kilometers away from Israel.
