In some of their copy I think they talked about protecting/cherishing/partnering with indigenous cultures which is maybe a bit different from "inclusiveness" but in the same general spirit.

I would think this sort of angle wasn't exactly uncommon even at the height of colonialism.

That's some incredible restraint shown by the Moroccans, I am in awe.
It's a real shame the police wasn't called so she could spend some quality time in jail.
If she had assaulted people like this in her homeland, that's precisely where she would have ended up.

British police would have sent her to a Moroccan jail?

The security industry responded, promoting and selling programs that schools and local law enforcement officers adapt with fake blood, menacing masked “shooters” and simulated gunfire.

Thinking it was a real attack, students wept and texted goodbyes. Afterward, parents were furious.

The bench with spikes was made by an artist [presumably to make a point about capitalism], but I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen this for real already.

There hasn't been literally this but for the last decade or so it has become a big undercurrent in urban / public design to make spaces and furnitures (including benches) "homeless-proof". You will quickly find examples by googling "hostile design" or "hostile architecture".

The video is also 11 years old (as an aside).

Isn't it just quotes from the original article ? Can't he be both "one of history greatest revolutionary figures" and a murderous tyrant ? Do the NYT really need to preface every tweet with orange / yellow / nazi / insert your own man bad ? Is Twitter really the best place to have long context notes ?

As a huge proponent of alternative (and affordable) housing models, it was such a treat to tour the Los Feliz location of @Podshare. It's great to see such innovative solutions to housing in the midst of rising rents and high costs in Los Angeles.

It's the Urwerk 1001, if anyone's curious. It keeps time up to tracking centuries and millenias. I guess it's an unique proposition and it has some high novelty factor... Though I'm not a fan of the form factor or the design.

Official site :
https://www.urwerk.com/collections/ur-special-projects/ur-1001

It just disappears once on the wrist !

And it costs almost 400k$ too.

Damn. Short pump middle school is in a pretty bougie suburb of Richmond where the schools are very well-funded.
