In what universe is this symbolic? In the event that Russia invades Finland, it is the difference between “material support” and boots on the ground, no?
All these articles saying "Twitter responded with a poop emoji when asked for comment" make me laugh so hard. Apparently they automated their [email protected] email to respond with a poop emoji. Actually pretty funny
It’s kind of funny right up until you read a headline like “the shooter posted his manifesto on Twitter, when asked to comment Twitter responded with a poop emoji”
What a bad take. I don't think any Romans were saying the new cathedral looks too much like the old one. Art and architecture then weren't commercialized the way they are now. People spent 600 years working on buildings they would never see complete. There were no global demonic companies rushing ugly, non-offensive (mass appeal), products out the door in literally every industry.
They absolutely were. The Romans had cookie-cutter apartment buildings too. They had mass production of pottery, textiles and other decorations by slaves.
Granted, the art and architecture that have managed to survive for 2000 years is more unique, but that's just survivorship bias.
