The Voice of the Enemy: Unpacking the Story of "Lord Haw-Haw"

by Nomad

During the dark early days of World War II, as Nazi Germany's forces swept across Europe, a peculiar and sinister voice crackled across the radio airwaves into British homes. 

It was a voice dripping with mockery, condescension, and false camaraderie, delivering Nazi propaganda in an affected, upper-class British accent. The British public dubbed its owner "Lord Haw-Haw." This figure became one of the most infamous traitors in modern history, but his story is more complex than the simple caricature of a turncoat.

Something Stronger, Something Better: A Quote from Albert Camus

by Nomad

The French philosopher, author, and playwright, Albert Camus was one of the most influential thinkers of the post-World War era. He was the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44, the second-youngest recipient in history. His works include The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall and The Rebel.

One of the key themes that he explored in his works was the coexistence of love and hate as a part of the human condition. How are we to survive in a world gripped - and nearly destroyed - by intractable hate? Can we find the means to cope?

A Thanksgiving Message

by Nomad

As we gather around our tables this Thanksgiving, we are reminded that hope is a light that shines brightest in our darkest moments. In a world that often seems challenging and uncertain, gratitude becomes our most powerful anchor.  

It's the stabilizing influence in our lives.

We find strength not by ignoring our difficulties but by acknowledging them. At the same time, we must choose to appreciate the enduring beauty that surrounds us.

Election Day has finally arrived. 

If you choose to believe the polls, Decomcratic Vice-President Kamala Harris and former Republican president Donald Trump have been running neck-and-neck for weeks.

LIVE: Harris and Trump Face Off At US Presidential Debate 2024 In Philadelphia

by Nomad

Republican ex-president Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris meet for the first time on Tuesday night in their only scheduled debate of the U.S. presidential campaign, a key moment in a close-fought contest. The nationally-televised debate takes place just eight weeks before the Nov. 5 election, and days before early voting will start in some states.

The rules for tonight's debate mean each candidate’s microphone is only turned on when it is their turn to speak, there is no studio audience and the candidates aren’t allowed to talk to their staff during breaks or bring any notes with them. Both candidates are provided with only a pen and pad and a bottle of water.

Netflix: The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem

by Nomad

If you've ever asked yourself how on earth we could have gotten ourselves in such a pathetic political situation, Netflix currently has a documentary you might find interesting.

“The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem” charts the downward spiral from 4Chan to QAnon, from Rickrolling memes to the January Capitol insurrection, and from the vigilante Anonymous band of hackers to the Donald Trump brand of treason.
