1. Politicians hide themselves away

As the opening track of the influential Black Sabbath album, Paranoid, “War Pigs” was originally titled “Walpurgis.” Walpurgis Night takes place on the 30th April to mark the eve of the feast day of Saint Walpurga, an 8th-century English missionary to the Frankish Empire. It is also believed to be the night of a witches’ meeting or sabbath. The instrumental outro is entitled, “Luke’s Wall.” It is one of the most-covered songs in history and is frequently ranked among the greatest rock songs of all time.

The song talks about war and—like the hippies—Black Sabbath was totally against it, speci

“Children’s Story,” the second single released from The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, is the peak of Slick Rick’s storytelling in the form of a classic cautionary tale for children. He tells the story of two kids who decide to start robbing people. One of the kids becomes addicted and can’t stop. One day he robs an undercover detective. After a long chase with the cops, he is shot dead.

In Check the Technique, Slick Rick talked about “Children’s Story”:

We tried to make it a visual picture, especially with the ending. The ‘Knock 'em out the box, Rick,’ was like the climax, the big party part. We did the overlapping vocals because we wanted to keep the effect that was on [Doug E. Fresh’s] "The Show." I saw that scene in real life, so I just put it on paper and added a little fiction to make it more interesting. I didn’t see the people get shot, but I saw the people go to jail and ruin their whole life.

“Children’s Story” peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart. The song’s

“Smack You” is a no holds barred diss track aimed at Suge Knight with the occasional shot at Ja Rule. The clapback starts with a short but powerful sample of 2Pac’s “Bomb First (My Second Reply),” accusing Suge for the murder of Pac and Biggie.

What follows are two cutthroat verses which are backed by sporadic adlibs courtesy of Em’s daughter, Hailie Jade. This provocative track was kept in the vault for nearly 20 years until it got leaked in January of 2025.^[[1] https://genius.com/Eminem-smack-you-lyrics]

Eminem’s Recent Song Leaks Were Condemned By The Rapper’s Spokesman

[Aaron Williams, Hip-Hop Editor | 01/15/25]

Earlier this week, social media lit up with buzz about the leak of a 20-year-old Eminem diss track against Ja Rule and Suge Knight, “Smack You,” along with a handful of other demos. However, in a response from Eminem’s longtime spokesperson, Interscope Publicity Chief Dennis Dennehy, it sounds like Em is more frustrated by the leaks than enthused by their recept

Reports from the National Trust, who look after this vitally important breeding site for the terns at Long Nanny near Beadnell in Northumberland indicate that the number of occupied Arctic tern nests has dropped by 313 compared to last year (724 occupied nests in 2025 compared to 1,037 in 2024).

This news comes just one month after a high spring tide washed away occupied Arctic tern and little tern nests at Long Nanny, despite rangers' best efforts to protect them from extreme weather conditions. It also comes just 10 months after the Arctic tern species was added to the UK Birds of Conservation Concern (BoCC) Red List, reflecting the significant population declines driven by multiple factors including climate change, overfishing and avian influenza[1].

James Porteus, Lead Ranger for the National Trust at Long Nanny said: “After several difficult years due to storms washing out nests and then bird flu, we have been saddened by the drop in Arctic tern numbers returning to Long Nanny t

The following is something I wrote earlier. I don't know the validity of it, and I'm not sure I correctly expressed the concepts of "power" and "rights" after translating them from italian.

Lately I had in mind the concept of right. Specifically, the idea Stirner had about it.

When I read The Ego and It's Own, that passage stuck with me.

[omitted unrelated stuff, because I started thinking about other things before writing what follows]

I'm thinking how the whole action of Giorgio Rosa [1] was anarchist in it's essence. He created that island just because he could do it: he had the power to do it.

I'm thinking about how many times I did something just because I could, and because I felt like it. I'm sure that more than once me and that-one-friend answered the question "why?" with "because we can". And I'm thinking how "because I can" is one of the fundamental hackers' "ideology" - mostly.

I'm thinking about how "because I can" is one of the most genuine motive that people hav

"Establishing a unified theory of cognition has been an important goal in psychology1,2. A first step towards such a theory is to create a computational model that can predict human behaviour in a wide range of settings. Here we introduce Centaur, a computational model that can predict and simulate human behaviour in any experiment expressible in natural language. We derived Centaur by fine-tuning a state-of-the-art language model on a large-scale dataset called P

Generated Summary below:

Main Topic: The video discusses the outrage and media firestorm surrounding Bobby Vylan's chants of "Death to the IDF" and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" at Glastonbury, contrasting it with the comparatively muted response to the alleged atrocities committed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) against Palestinians.

Key Points:

• Double Standard: The speaker argues that there's a stark contrast between the condemnation of Vylan's chants and the lack of outrage over alleged IDF actions, including the killing of unarmed civilians seeking humanitarian aid.
• IDF Actions: The video cites a report from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz detailing alleged orders for IDF soldiers to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians near food distribution sites. It also lists a series of alleged war crimes committed by the IDF.
• "From the River to the Sea":
