So Ukraine's taken out some Russian data centres, and as a result, most of the robots pretending to be right wing people online throughout the world have disappeared..?

Beyond its armed patrols and political activism the party also organized community programs including free breakfast for children and health clinics

I think this started long before his metamorphosis. He was selfless, and they exploited him. They didn't respect or like him, even then.

Don't be like Gregor. Resist and exist! You have just as much right to take up space and exist in society as anyone else.

I think it mostly reads as Gregor's family being the state or society, and him being in a minority. They don't want him to exist, and certainly not to be seen, because his very existence disgusts them. They have no empathy for him.

Meanwhile, he has too much empathy for them, as if their disgust for him is valid and reasonable, which it most certainly isn't. So they want him to stop existing, and he's all too happy to comply.

The problem isn't a lack of money, food, water or land. The problem is that we've given control of these things to a group of greedy psychopaths who care more about maintaining their own power than helping mankind ("WEAPONS OF MASS DELUSIONS", 51"x34", charcoal & graphite on paper, ©LaurieLipton)

Honestly I think Gregor Samsa's family was a bigger problem than his beetlisation. You can read it as a metaphor for disability, right? Or declining mental health? But he still deserves love and respect.

Good luck to Delia Ramirez, abolishing US government departments that shouldn't have existed in the first place (ICE and DHS).

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Sampling a short vocal phrase into my Akai S1000 for later timestretching (Footage a little wonky, as I was filming it with my left hand while using the DAW and sampler with my right)
