While I understand you meant well when making the video, your research and applicationto E lucevan le stelle/Chapter 6 beyond the beginning is quite lackluster, especially in regards to the eve of the Belle Époque itself. which has sadly diminished its analytical edge imo.
Perhaps most glaring from the outset is that you didn’t really touch on anything beyond the first few scenes of the chapter, which severely impairs your analysis as a whole.
Second is the limitations of the main topic of discussion itself and how you deployed historical correlation, or lack thereof, with the Belle Époque on the topic of discussing Ableism on Isolde, not to mention its relation to the decadence of Viennese society.
@AsraNomani, as an Engineer, I saw Cole Allen's 2017 wheelchair contraption as unsophisticated as well: He didn't have a very bright future, as he was coddled at Cal Tech as a "DEI admission" and not accepted on his academic (or M.E. machine shop) skills.

Yup @AsraNomani & @DataRepublican, Cole Allen was a Cal Tech DEI admission, as if he were any good, he wouldn't be going to a bottom-of-the-barrel Computer Science grad program at California State University, Dominguez Hills @CSUDH with a Cal Tech degree

67 years ago today, Mack Parker was murdered by a white mob. It’s considered one of the last civil rights era lynchings.

Mack Charles Parker was a 23-year-old truck driver who had returned to his hometown of Lumberton, Mississippi, after receiving a general discharge following two years in the Army.
On the morning of February 24, 1959, Parker was awakened by Marshal Ham Slade and several deputies, who alleged that he had raped a young white woman, June Walters, the night before.
The New York Post published the full 1,052-word manifesto of Cole Tomas Allen, the 31-year-old California teacher and game developer arrested after the April 25, 2026, shooting attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC.

Clash Report, the Turkish psyop that half of political Twitter treats as gospel, had 49,200 followers within 20 hours of its very first tweet.
The account — a major source of disinformation and bogus conspiracy theories — is botted as hell. And I can prove it 🧵

The account was created in May 2015 but was completely dark.
Its first tweet only went up on February 28, 2020 — the night Turkey launched Operation Spring Shield, its massive drone assault on Syrian regime forces in Idlib.
Convenient timing, I'd say 🤔

WHAT IS ‘PINK PANTHERESS BRITAIN’?
Becoming common online to see people sharing content featuring ‘Multicultural Britain Twee’ - broadly a kind of aesthetic that depicts a cutesy version of modern multicultural Britain ‘without the bad or weird parts’. Want to call the version of Britain this imagery depicts ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’, after popular British artist Pink Pantheress. Pink Pantheress has a fun bubblegum aesthetic and employs many established British motifs in her music, fashion, videos etc - in this way she’s quite close to a platonic ideal of multicultural Britain twee you see shared. ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’ then is ‘what if we took the cutesy parts of multicultural Britain and mixed them in with the cutesy parts of historical Britain?” This isn’t the same thing as ‘Yookay Twee’ please note because the Britain of ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’ is still importantly 1) Brit-ish and 2) absent the bad or weird parts of multicultural Britain
Video below is interesting in this way, account is a (young ?) left wing woman who makes ‘fun’ 2010 Tumblr type video edits - this particular video is a montage depicting what she imagines ‘Englishness’ to be. Lots of common tropes; Diana, James Bond, Shakespeare, ok… but notable too how readily many multicultural Britain influences have been interspersed into more classical images of ‘Englishness’. Found effect kind of mesmerising, it isn’t even necessarily an invalid interpretation of what ‘Englishness’ is in the 2020’s - interest was more that someone would consider ‘King Lear’ and ‘Benjamin Zephaniah’ or the ‘Pre-Raphaelites’ and ‘Bridgerton’ as equally valid expressions of ‘Englishness’ in first place
Think the woman who made the edit is white. Might be wrong about that but either way presumably she is not in any conflict about the blending of traditionally quite disparate influences. Occurs that the video represents something like a twenty-one year white woman’s idea of ‘What Britain Is Today’, actually not even just that demographic - more every ‘basically well-meaning but sheltered’ white Brit. I say white Brit because I am skeptical most non-white Brits would be as inclined to include, as above, ‘King Lear’, the ‘Pre-Raphaelites’, ‘Wordsworth’ and ‘Bridget Jones’ in any conception of their own identity. ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’ is distinct from the ‘Yookay’ in this way then in that it is still Brit-ish, it hasn’t begun to transmogrify into something else entirely where its peoples and cultures bear increasingly less resemblance to the historical state. ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’ is multicultural Britain in continuity with historical Britain, it is historical Britain with some fun added new twee multicultural elements (like Pink Pantheress). Migration hasn’t really resulted in any meaningful change in this version of Britain so people see no contradiction in comparing ‘King Lear’ and ‘Benjamin Zephaniah’. When a certain class of person talks about multicultural Britain this is probably something like what they imagine multicultural Britain to be
No point moralising that ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’ obfuscates the full spectrum of multicultural Britain ‘Yookay’ better captures; Dawah influencers, roadmen, the Boriswave, non-RP speaking South Asians as a larger percentage of the minority population because of a pre-occupation with black minorities etc. since much of ‘that kind of thing’ barely registers as existing for many people, let alone in its capacity as major blocs for the formation of new kinds of ‘British’ identities over coming decades. Yes obviously this part of New Britain is overlooked - it is ‘a bit too weird’ for (not to single them out) twenty-one year old white women, they aren’t as likely to encounter it directly either and it also has high assumed knowledge barrier-to-entry requirements. Who is realistically going to include Muhammad Hijab or Birmingham Central Mosque in depictions of ‘Englishness’? Well done here is a medal for spotting the hypocrisy

An adjacent point - might be strange for some people to incorporate Stormzy, Skepta, Mo Farah etc into conceptions of ‘Englishness’ because in some senses they can seem like interpolations but important to remember that even a reference to someone like Stormzy or Skepta is dated today - some of these figures have been a feature of Britain’s ‘cultural landscape’ for at least a decade or two now. Many of the people producing these tumblr multicultural twee edits too were, say, five years old during ‘peak tumblr’ in 2010 - a lot of young people today do not remember 2010! The year 2010 might not seem like long ago in your head but it is long ago enough now that influences from that period have had enough time to become normalised. What seemed like a weird interpolation then is established cultural background for younger sets, it is a genuinely valid expression of their personal conceptions of ‘Englishness’ because it has always been a feature of their lives. ‘Identity’ transformed over time through a kind of ‘Eternal September’ effect of selective forgetting and remembering… (which to be fair is often how culture evolves)
Important point in that too is that ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’ is not ugly, it is quite a compelling vision of Britain. ‘Star Trek Liberalism with British Characteristics.’ Part of its popularity (often as a pushback specifically against ‘Yookay’-type content or its less tastefully-shared ‘London Has Fallen’ derivatives) is that it offers a genuinely appealing, if selective, image of what advocates of multicultural Britain imagine multicultural Britain is actually like. It does have a pull, people want to believe it!

‘Paddington Bear Britain’ does not quite capture this version of Englishness in the same way as ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’

Both events become public on the same Monday.
Here is what you need to know.
For two months, the FBI and the House Oversight Committee have been investigating the deaths or disappearances of eleven American scientists since 2022. The investigation includes a Caltech astrophysicist named Carl Grillmair who was shot dead on his porch in February. It includes three researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena — Michael David Hicks, Frank Maiwald, and Monica Reza.
The House Oversight Committee asked the FBI, the Department of Energy, the Department of War, and NASA to brief them on these cases.
The deadline for those briefings is Monday, April 27.

Some Pakistani sources close to the negotiations think the current Iran trips are part of plan to *TRICK* American negotiators into a bias peace deal.
Aimed at *appearing* to appease the US until AFTER the midterms, and then continuing a hardline agenda.
