At the World Trade Center Plaza there was actually a music festival happening the week of September 11th 2001; that’s what the colorful banners were and the stage.
Nobody saw this coming. I can’t stress enough.

That art by Alex Ross of George W. Bush sucking the Statue of Liberty like a vampire goes hard. I didn't know he was capable of creating such cool political art.

Every year, my sister and I ask how Sam in Love, Actually ran through that airport in 2003 without getting shot, getting Joanna’s entire family shot, or causing an en-masse deplaning event. 😅 Feels like a scene that would’ve been cute in 1990 and makes… Not much sense today
gonna start saying “you couldn’t make x movie today” but for reasons unrelated to political correctness

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:
15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)
2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)
1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.
None of the hijackers were from Iraq.
None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.
None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.
#9/11#serious post#not a shitpost#this should be one of the first things kids learn when they learn about the 9/11 attacks#politics#this is just...it's such an essential and brazen fact and i rarely see basic outrage over it#i want outrage. i want fury. i want disgust over the way fundamental facts are disguised and discarded and downplayed#because there are things we should KNOW. basic fact we should ALL KNOW. and they are tucked away in the footnotes.#and no this is NOT to put the blame on other middle eastern countries#we know this was carried out by a specific terrorist organization not a national government#but King George the Second decided (and was encouraged by his cabinet!) to invade a nation!#a nation that was not at all related or responsible!!!#a dictatorship to be sure--but a dictatorship that King George the First had been happy to support#so what changed? why did we go in guns blazing to DEMOLISH a country *we had NO PLANS OF REPAIRING*???#well. because they wanted a villain didn't they. a nice clean war. clarity of purpose. us the heroes against them the villains#and when you're in that mindframe--truth is irrelevant. you can pick your villain (your victim) by rolling a roulette wheel#truth is irrelevant#worse: to the people in charge#truth is a HINDRANCE#'Alternative facts' existed long before it became a catchphrase#facts don't matter. truth doesn't matter. the impulses of a handful of volatile & rich & power-high people--that's History. congratulations

If you were too little to remember 9/11 or you weren’t even born yet, you need to know something:
late 90s/very early 2000s commercial compilations on YouTube are like a time capsule from the pre-9/11 days, especially something like this one from January 2001:
youtube
I was 14 at this time and I remember a lot of these.
Take note of diet culture and landlines and the computers and even the “hanging chad” jokes. Also the corniness and light-heartedness.
Take note of how unsuspecting we were.
Now look at commercials from later that year, after 9/11:
Take note of how somber and traumatized everyone is, yet there’s intense patriotism. It was America the Beautiful 24/7 there for a while.
Yet life goes on and ads don’t stop for long.
But for a time channels that didn’t show the news went off air basically. And there was lot of this on most every channel:

Not At All Loud & Mostly At a Distance
An AI-penned remake of the adaptation of the Jonathan Safran Foer novel. The film is cobbled together using existing interviews with an autistic child, and footage of post-9/11 New York City, as well as convenient interviews with people named "Black."

The Case of the Babes of Baghdad (a strange short film)
I have become somewhat fixated on finding this strange post 9/11 satire short film called “Every Occupation Needs a Party” by a Stuart Urban from 2010. It for some reason has one of the actors of the Black Pearl crew (David Bailie) playing Saddam Hussein.
youtube
Most people who have even heard of the movie probably saw this explicit music video of a cabaret number based on Lynndie England
Despite the outlandish premise of a secret club with kidnapped sex workers and dancers…frankly you can find sex workers near most military bases outside of combat zonesfairly easily. Heck when I was in Germany the table dancers reopened their bar when the soldiers came back from deployment as a kid and there were psa’s galore, warning active duty to keep an eye out for signs of human trafficking.
Anyway, I’m curious if anyone actually has seen the full film and what thoughts people have on it.

The Safety Car as The Tower:
The Tower is commonly interpreted as meaning danger, crisis, destruction, and liberation. It is associated with sudden unforseen change.
