The problem is it just brings people to talk about how awful these climate protestors are for vandalising things people feel culturally attached to. The conversation is never about climate change.

That stuff is cool, but I'm pretty sure they're referring to stuff like throwing soup over famous paintings (or rather, the glass covering famous paintings). I have to agree with them if that is what they mean; these actions are far far too easy to present as just vandalism for its own sake, and there's no obvious connection between the targets and the intention of the protests.

For what it's worth, most of those JSO protests have been done in a way that would not damage the actual object. Like the Stonehenge one, it wasn't paint, it was cornflour and food colouring that would just come off in the rain (and was, in the end, removed with just a leafblower). The Magna Carta one actually was doing damage though.

Regardless of that, I don't personally think that they are effective protests. They're far too easy to frame as mindless vandalism.

They are. The post could swap one of them out for Re or Rø instead and it would work, though

Rankine isn't pointing a gun at Kelvin because of this, but Kelvin is pointing one at Rankine because Rankine is an abomination that should not be

Could be that those under him don't trust him any more, and even if he hasn't actually done anything that justified removing him he's having a negative effect on the morale of those working for him

I get the feeling that they finished recording it long ago and it has been a matter of mixing since

 

Over a decade in the works and two since Time I, it is here. I've only had one listen so far, and not really enough to offer an actual review, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I think I'm going to be coming back to the guitar solo two third of the way through Storm quite a bit.

Works perfectly for me accessing an mbin instance through my browser. There's an "alt" button on the bottom right of the image that displays it

It is if it's in a rock band's name though

For Civ 6, I'd say winning each victory once. Try to do it with different civs each time too. You can set your goal as winning a game on the highest difficulty if you want, but personally I don't find that to be as interesting as the shift in gameplay necessary to win the different victories without just militarily crushing everyone else.

There's a town called Skinflats in central Scotland!
