    what new york looks like

    i'm basically never up there these days. and i don't have the knowledge to interpret what i'm seeing anyway. when it comes to central/south americans i don't even know who i'm looking at. i've been with my panamanian mate when he suddenly starts speaking to people in spanish and i'm...

    what new york looks like

    the quintessential examples of enclaves protecting themselves are manhattan chinatown and the south williamsburg hasids.

    what new york looks like

    that kind of action would be in queens and the bronx i think. manhattan and brooklyn are a mixture of the gentrification wave and old school well defined long running enclaves. quite a few of the enclaves protect themselves pretty well against everything except the money and gentrification wave...

    what new york looks like

    other people on here are better qualified coz they were there i wasn't. dunno if i can go out to bat and say that it was really great that it was so violent and if you were from a lawless-ish part of town you ran the chance of getting the shit kicked out of you. the longer i've been here the...

    what new york looks like

    the unique thing about nyc, or america maybe as compared to england, is that the immigration creates enclaves. areas belonging to one particular group is definitely a thing here. there are a lot of examples. but a lot of them were formed quite a long time ago and have sustained. current...

    what new york looks like

    a lot of the subway stations in my part of town are pretty full of addicts at night. well not full. but there's idk about ten people shooting up in my one at night normally the whole time i've been here there have only been a handful of times where i thought i was in any danger, a couple of...

    what new york looks like

    there's still a few. east new york, brownsville, canarsie i guess, bits of bed-stuy, the whole of the south bronx. but i would say that for me anyway, i just wouldn't go to them at night, it's fine in the daytime. i suppose most of the bits of town that are mostly projects i would probably avoid...

    Iran again

    i'm not an expert on iran at all. but regime change in theory could be a very positive thing. but it's very unpredictable and who knows - actually no one knows - what will come next. it can always get worse. worst case is a civil war. that is a very bad worst case. so if that's what they are...

    Iran again

    like the US never managed to do that to mullah omar. they did manage to kill His successor, but they didn’t manage to kill Akhunzada after that. they never managed to kill Al Zawhiri (well at least when it would have been useful). took them Until after Mosul to kill Baghdadi

    Kid Charlemagne is Pussy Whipped

    earth room is nearby, take her there and insist on staying there for an hour, in silence, and then at the end tell her ‘I bought you here because this room expresses how I feel about you’

    Censorship, Surveillance & Apathy

    what mossad are now able to do, finding very protected people easy peasy, finding them in their own houses despite all precautions, makes me think of our bleak prospective techno future. a new capability. how exactly are they locating the entire top military brass and the scientists all at once...

    sex as power isn’t new. but a girl doing sex as power for fun smack bang in the square middle of the megastar mainstream without disapproval is new i think

    it’s opportunistic. there’s a particular moment now where in the (‘white’) mainstream the parameters of acceptability have inverted. the girls can be crueler now without attracting major shock or opprobrium. so they can use tunes to elicit minor shocks of the cruel. the lads on the mainstream on...

    a lot of her lyrical and vocal style is about seeing what she can get away with saying. what has recently become possible to say in the gender discourse configuration of 2024-2025. where exactly the window has opened. she can put her finger on it. where exactly the short-form videos have got us to
