The small tom steps forward and reveals that his name is Scourge and that he leads the Clan, and that they would listen to him only. Tigerstar then orders BloodClan to attack, but they don't listen. It is then that Firestar realizes that he would not be able to reason with him now, so he calmly agrees to fight, if that is what Tigerstar wants. Tigerstar interrupts his thoughts by claiming that he changed the number of Clans in the forest, thus making him more powerful than StarClan. ![]() Firestar realizes that it's possible a group of these cats could have come to the forest to see what they had been offered. Thornclaw remembers scenting rogues the day he was made a warrior, and tells Firestar that they were probably from BloodClan. Tigerstar announces that they are BloodClan, and that they were to convince Firestar and Tallstar to join his Clan. Firestar turns to Tigerstar and asks who they are. ![]() Then he sees a small black tom, who goes to stand beside Tigerstar, and wonders who he could be, since he looks far too small to be a warrior. Firestar spots a large black-and-white tom, and assumes he is the leader. Because of this, Ashpaw, a ThunderClan apprentice, thinks they're kittypets.

The SCUM Manifesto was the product of years of rumination by a woman living on the margins. ![]() First produced as a mimeograph in 1967 (Solanas sold it on the streets of New York, charging fifty cents for women and one dollar for men), the Manifesto appeared in book form in August 1968, two months after its author made headlines for her near-fatal shooting of Andy Warhol, who she believed was stealing her work. ![]() Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.įerocious, deranged, hilarious, and exhilarating, Valerie Solanas’s SCUM Manifesto set out the agenda of the Society for Cutting Up Men, a revolutionary organization of which Solanas was the founder and sole member. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bright Eyes, “When the President Talks to God” ![]() ![]() The album opens, “Don’t wanna be an American idiot / Don’t want a nation under the new media / And can you hear the sound of hysteria? / The subliminal mind-fuck America.” A direct response to the nation’s deteriorating international perception and its internal hysteria in response to 9/11, “American Idiot” looked inward and outward simultaneously and cemented Green Day’s legacy in the history of punk. The title track of their 2004 album “American Idiot” ushered Green Day into the 21st century with the pop punk snark of their youth with the anger of the Bush era. In these trying times, we’ve attempted to distill some of these best protest songs of all time, so here are 50 that have impacted our collective consciousness. There is no shortage of great protest songs-in fact, we’ve covered Canada-specific protest songs from their last tumultuous election, contemporary protest songs by people of color, protest songs that are anti-fascist and more. ![]() Over the decades, protest songs have led the way, offering a powerful and passionate testimony to those suffering, while urging listeners to lend support and solidarity in response. Some might denounce that as exaggeration, but at minimum, music does have the power to stir emotions and bring attention to worthy causes. It’s been said that music can change the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() This includes night-vision goggles, gas masks, military aircraft, armoured vehicles, machine guns, grenade launchers and even bayonets.

"We've reached a point in America where a lot of police departments have become very akin to a military force in their local community," Mr Mosteller says. It authorises the US Department of Defence to distribute "surplus" military equipment to local police departments.Ĭriminal justice researcher Jeremiah Mosteller says it's being conducted on an industrial scale. In the US, the militarisation of police departments is being actively encouraged by the Trump administration under what's called the 1033 Program. ![]() Mr Sutton says it is part of a broader trend in English-speaking democracies, which began in the United States and accelerated after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. ![]() ![]() ![]() My take away from this book, and others read recently, is that culture matters. And we have developed cognitive tricks (like language, knowledge sharing, culture, social customs) to change our evolutionary trajectory faster than our biology ever would allow. In a larger sense, the origin story told here is humbling too–it give us a very real understanding that our mere existence in space and time is fleeting.Īnd yet, whether we know this or not, we go through our lives with a remarkable ability to understand our place in all of it. ![]() From the human perspective, if we don’t understand our origin, based on science and facts, then the ignorance that creeps in could ultimately distract and destroy our ability to sustain as a species. The themes of Origin Story are important. ![]() Thus, the name for the book and also the underlying Big History Project. Hopefully, that common understanding will establish a starting platform from which science-based decisions and polices can be made. ![]() The real idea is to build a unified view, rooted in science, of how everything, including us, originated. Of course, the book is more nuanced than that. A story from the Big Bang to the end of the Universe. On the surface, this book attempts a big task: to tell the story of the Universe, and ultimately the biological and social evolution of humans. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For the warrior tells her a new tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire, and rivers where the mythical marid sleep past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises, and mountains where the circling hawks are not what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass?a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound. But she knows better than anyone that the trade she uses to get by-palm readings, zars, healings-are all tricks, sleights of hand, learned skills a means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles.īut when Nahri accidentally summons an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to accept that the magical world she thought only existed in childhood stories is real. ![]() Certainly, she has power on the streets of 18th century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. ![]() |
