BBC ziņo: "It's another very cold night ahead with a widespread hard frost, a penetrating frost still across Southern parts of England in particular. Because of that brisk wind. And tomorrow just briefly temperatures head above freezing but plummet again tomorrow evening after dark."

Vismaz Džokovičs normāli iegrieza, pateicoties tam, ka Rafa arī, protams, nelika vilties.

"Scholars may debate whether there truly is such a thing as a “totalitarian” state, and what its characteristics are, but the desire to control the thoughts and behaviour of others – joined to a belief that God or history will render an approving judgement – underlies much of the sad narrative of the past hundred years: the police states, the dirty wars, the ethnic cleansing, the internments, the renditions, the Red Scares, the fatwas, the special prosecutors, the electronic surveillance, the encroachments accomplished in name of national security."

3:41PM - izvēles apstākļi

"So it is that commodity-determined labor is mediated by structures such as that of personhood (and also class) that it itself constitutes. The social relations of capitalism are thus based on a quasi-independent strucuture that stands apart from, and opposed to, persons understood as individuals. Labor, here, as socially mediating activity creates relations among persons which, though social and containing dividual elements, assume a quasi-objective and individualist character [...] The person becomes progressively reified as a self-contained, self-shaping, independent agent. What this means is that a defining feature of capitalism is that the ontological forms, such as labor and the individual, that appear to underlie the social ones (individuals' actions) are not only themselves social but have their sociality disguised. The extension of this view is that an ideology of the person as fully individual is a necessary feature of the form and reproduction of the person in capitalist society."
- LiPuma E., Modernity and forms of personhood in Melanesia

Šādā kontekstā arī etniskās piederības un nacionalitātes kategoriju instrumentalizēšana politiskās manipulācijās ir skatāma kā ievērojami atvieglota līdz ar homo economicus ideoloģijas izplatīšanos. Etniskajām un nacionālajām kategorijām piemīt relatīvattiecīgi un dalāmi raksturlielumi (e.g. segmentary oppositions), kas sociālpolitiskās dinamikas (i.e. "politiskās dzīves") kontekstā indivīdam nodrošina šķietami racionālu un pašsaprotamu izvēli dotā identitātes aspekta jautājumā. Paplašinot augstāk citēto, izriet, ka politiskās piederības izvēles apstākļi arī varētu tikt balstīti pieņēmumā par noteiktu individuālistisku suverenitāti, kas papildus it kā nodrošina personas pamatvērtību. Īsāk sakot, politisko manipulāciju mērķis ir panākt grupu polarizāciju noteiktu ideoloģiju vardā, izmantojot apstākļus, kuros izvēle paš-identitātes jautājumos par piederību noteiktai grupai vienlaicīgi aizsedz šīs izvēles situatīvo un pieņemto raksturu un, iespējams, arī veltīgumu.

Ja kādam nevajag sniegu, variet droši sūtīt šurp. It will bring lots of fun and amusement.

Es negribētu nomirt interesanti, lai ko tas arī nozīmētu. Piemēram, gribētu nomirt no sapņa.

Noskatījos šo mini - seriālu.
Izteiksmīgi un iedvesmojoši, iespējams pat labākais, kas pēdējā laikā uz ekrāna skatīts. Iesaku.

Iemarinēju vistu. Bet vispār es arī gribētu iet tajās klab_vakariņās, ja man būtu teleports un atbilstošs garastāvoklis.
