    In the UK, right now, anything that supports libraries.

  4. Yup. A q I ask myself lately is: what happens when millennials grow out of socialism? Do they become super boomers?

  5. Yup. We've polarised into extreme collective vs individualist materialists. But for me materialism is the issue.

  6. There's this Awwwwesome bbc doc on how drama was a necessary counterpart to Athenian democracy. Highly recommended.

  17. Protests breaking out because global leaders found to be money launderers. Crazy times.
