This could work as an aesthetic choice but you'd have to finish it really well in order for it to last and for you to be able to keep it clean. Buying normal cupboards would probably be easier and cheaper.

EDPS decentralised social media pilot: the end of a successful story ( www.edps.europa.eu )

Unfortunately, despite our efforts to find a new home for EU Voice and EU Video in other EUIs, we have been unable to secure new ownership to maintain the servers and sustain operations at the high standards that EUIs and our users deserve”.

I'm shivering imagining how cursed the content on the EU branded social media apps was. I'm having nightmarish visions of Eldritch horror levels of neoliberal cringe.

I’ve received checks three or four times in my life. I’ve never written one. As a kid I had a physical paper booklet for the savings account I put my birthday money into. The only way I can get to own a house is by winning the lottery. I remember when small shops had manual credit card machines that would transfer your account details to a slip of paper. I also remember when local stores would give credit to people from the community. I get low-key annoyed when I have to use cash instead of digital payments. My retirement plan is not to retire.

Yes. While cannabis is unproblematic to most users, some cannabis users experience substance abuse disorders that are hurting their health and social relations. They should receive qualified and empathetic care, not condemnation and criminalisation.

How is the indigenous resistance surrendering going to end generations of apartheid and occupation?

Wow! I’m so impressed with her immense moral courage! It is so brave to do the right thing only when doing so becomes less damaging to your career than not doing it would be.

And to elaborate on what you said, liberals believe that the “stupid” people are the proles. The uncultured, unwashed and financially unsuccessful masses who deserve every punch the invisible hand of the market throws at them. Liberals simply can’t conceive of someone with a fancy education, an expensive suit and good table manners being a fascist.

defend ourselves against Putin

Putin is going to come and finish the job for Stalin any day now. Just wait and see, tomorrow the Bolchevik hordes might be flooding into Germany, to eat your Dachshunds and turning the Oktoberfest into a vodka and balalaika festival.

Why would Putin do that? Simply because he is evil.

The only sensible response is to cut every social program to fund the construction of a German death star.

Aren’t “Israeli” people mostly genocidal settlers? Making that lot the poster children of Judaism is deeply antisemitic. Don’t smear our Jewish comrades, neighbours and friends by suggesting that “Israel” speaks for them.

Because they don’t want to live in peace with their neighbours. They want to conquer them, subjugate them and displace them so they can steal their land. That is the core belief of Zionism.

You are either a deeply unserious person or you’re doing a very commited bit. I can’t decide which one it is.

Is genocide Joe responsible for every prison death in America as well?

An H0 scale invasion is 1:87 of a full scale invasion whereas the diminutive Z scale invasion is only 1:220 the size of a full scale invasion. Most model invasion enthusiasts prefer the H0 scale.

Did apartheid South Africa have a right to defend itself? Did Rhodesia? Did French Algeria?

No. Regimes like these have one right: The right to be thrown in the dustbin of history and to be replaced by a more just order.

If you’re drilling six holes a year, a cheap-ass power drill is going to work just as fine for you as the expensive one intended for professional use.

Tides of History is a very well-produced history podcast that deals with ancient history. It tells history in an engaging way and is founded in recent scholarship.

Podcasting is Praxis, a funny politics podcast made by British communists.

Blowback, all the praise heaped upon it is absolutely justified. Listen to it.

We Are Not So Different, an entertaining podcast about medieval history. It has a leftist outlook on things and treats medieval people like people and avoids romanticising as well as looking down on them.

A People’s History of Ideas. An amazingly detailed history of the Chinese revolution with offshoots into international Maoism. If you want to listen to an episode about how CPC safehouses worked in Shanghai in the early 1930’s, this is a podcast for you.
