You have to remember that what we think of as mere tooting, the establishment considers jiving with the code jockeys in cyberspace
I’m gong to boycott the local establishment that abbreviates “mozzarella” as “motz” because the correct abbreviation is “mozz” which also reminds me of the early days of Mozilla on Mac OS. I love cheese.
"These deals represent the corporate capture of the UK state including, our cloud capacity, National Health Service, and now our military establishment...
Starmer’s inability to speak the truth is not diplomacy. It’s evidence." @…
The 20th Century saw the establishment of two “superpowers” but the 21st Century seems to be seeing their decline, certainly conventionally.
Russia can’t win a war against Ukraine.

"A Yalie’s forgotten campaign gave us Black History Month."
Read this new story from the Yale Daily News about YDS graduate William Stuart Nelson 1924 B.D. and his pivotal role in the establishment of #BlackHistoryMonth.

Chickens and perches come to mind.

A year into Trump’s second term
MAGA’s internal contradictions can no longer be ignored.
The movement that had promised an end to foreign adventurism has found itself torn between an alliance of ideological noninterventionists and realists and a hawkish national security establishment.
Trumpism promised a revival of domestic manufacturing,
yet neither the president nor his advisers have decided whether this means tariffs, industrial policy, reviving organized labor,…

From 1977 to 1979,
June Jordan and Toni Morrison were both a part of "The Sisterhood",
a group of Black women writers who met in a New York City apartment to eat and drink together while discussing liberation.
Whether addressing genocide, imperialism or the American literary establishment,
the writers in the group,

"It will make only a marginal difference to the problem it seeks to solve.
"But it is fair to suppose that the main motive for the change is increasing the power of the state at the expense of the people by stripping out a check on the power of the Establishment."
