[ad_1] It’s hard not to love a diner. Spacious red booths, coffee served in white ceramic mugs, and breakfast available at any hour have made these institutions a quintessentially American experience. Although these establishments dot the country, perhaps no state is more associated with the iconic diner than New Jersey, which declares itself the “diner capital of the world.” But New Jersey’s diners are apparently in trouble. As many as 100 have shuttered in the past decade, according to Amanda Stone, the vice president of public affairs for the New Jersey Restaurant & Hospitality Association. The closures appear to be…

Nate Bear Do Not Panic Yesterday elections were held in parts of England to elect local councillors, and in Scotland and Wales to elect their devolved parliaments. Fearing a challenge from the left, Starmer’s ruling Labour party spent the campaigning period, in coordination with Britain’s legacy media, confecting antisemitism slurs about Green party candidates.

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair When I was invited to write a chapter on men in feminism for a scholarly book, I told the editors that I would have to include discussion of my writing on the radical feminist critiques of pornography and transgender ideology, which are controversial subjects in academic feminism. They assured me that wouldn’t be a problem, but I submitted a draft early because I’ve had editors reject such writing at the last minute. Their response did not surprise me: “The editorial team has met and decided the article does not fit with our mission for…

[ad_1] In this two-part article series, Iain Davis examines how a class of Silicon Valley oligarchs have set about destabilising the planet in order to achieve their goal of a multipolar world of interconnected smart-city states; that is, a regionalised world that they and their oligarch partners will rule as neofeudal monarchs. In Part 1, Davis focuses on the deceit this oligarch network is using to drag us all to ruin and how it is controlling the Trump administration, whilst Part 2 will focus on their neocolonial ambitions in the Middle East. In my latest book, The Technocratic Dark State, I…

[ad_1] As uncertainty surrounds Venezuela’s political future, the ripples of change are being felt not just in Caracas but in the unusually complex economy of a decades-old browser-based game. Over the past decade, tens of thousands of Venezuelans have logged on to Old School RuneScape (OSRS) not simply to play but to work. As hyperinflation hollowed out salaries and traditional jobs disappeared, Venezuelan players mined and collected valuable in-game resources and achieved coveted level 99 status in in-game skills, turning hours of gameplay into dollars or cryptocurrency. The impact of Venezuelan players on the game’s internal economy was at one point so…

[ad_1] Photograph Source: Getty Images for Unsplash+ An assault on Cuba needs excuses for hating it.  But given that any exchanges between the US and Cuba has been blocked out of the news for decades, it’s a bit difficult for a lot of folks to figure out why they are supposed to hate it and starve the people there.  Let’s look through the eyes of those who promote an attack to find the real reasons. Going back to Cuba’s 1959 revolution we can see that it occurred during the cold war anti-communist hysteria of the McCarthy era which permeated that time. Though…
