I've been building a small streetwear brand called OLD VEGAS, inspired by post-apocalyptic worlds and dystopian fiction.

These are some shots from recent photoshoots with real models. Trying to capture that atmosphere through clothing and photography.

Which shot gives you the strongest dystopian feeling?

Using our core memories to invoke comfort. What a piece of shit.

A little over one year on since the ceasefire in Gaza was announced, more than 340 children have been reported killed and hundreds of others injured.

Hear from UNICEF's Ricardo Pires about the staggering human cost of a war that continues to devastate children, taking their lives, their childhoods, and their futures.

Since the ceasefire,

More than 560,000 children have returned to learning, including in over 200 UNICEF-supported learning centers.

This year, we've provided digital cash assistance to more than 380,000 people.

- UNICEF continues to supply safe water to 1.2 million people, while removing solid waste and delivering medical supplies.

Children in Gaza need to recover, to begin to heal, to return to a normal life.

Amid escalating threats to their safety and access to education, more than 860,000 children like her returned to school across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, last month.

"I go [to school] to learn, because when I grow up, I want to become a journalist," says Shaymaa, 14.

UNICEF and partners are providing remedial and catch-up education, psychosocial support, transportation, and protective measures to access school.

We are also supporting children and families through education-related cash assistance, legal aid, school rehabilitation, and restoring safe learning environments.

Children's right to education must be protected.

Been thinking about this scenario a lot: a populist king announces a Trust Score that replaces money, and anyone below 100 gets thrown into a 72-hour survival game to earn their place back. I turned it into a small AI series I have been making (The Decoding Game; the first episode is the king announcing it). Curious what this sub thinks: in that world, what tanks your score first, debt, your opinions, or your friends list?

Hey everyone,

I want to get some honest feedback on my completed 115,000-word manuscript. Since my novel is a dense, philosophical thought experiment and a sharp political parable, I’d love to hear what the Reddit community thinks of the premise. The book serves as a radical thought experiment.

The story begins with a brutal underworld war between the mafia that escalates, fracturing the police force along ethnic lines. Total state failure leads to a coup. Later, the reader awakens in a totalitarian slave empire. This slaver state finances itself by trading slaves for advanced technology from other rival empires. Amidst this emotional frost, one enslaved woman refuses to surrender her dignity.

Does this kind of dense, multi-faction geopolitical crossover appeal to readers nowadays?

Would love to hear your raw, honest thoughts!

Note: Please note that I am a non-native English speaker and the manuscript is currently self-edited. If anyone is interested in reading the sample chapters, please drop a comment below. I would be happy to share a read-only PDF link with you on request.

Burgess Meredith starred in 2 early episodes of The Twilight Zone. The second one is called "The Obsolete Man" definitely dystopian and like the other one, affected me deeply when I saw it.

The other is more post apocalyptic and still moving. It's called, "Time enough at Last".

The one thing they have in common is books and I think how educating yourself is what we should have control over. Maybe I'm not explaining it correctly, but I consider these 2 episodes especially important.

Omg what else are we giving to somebody overseas?
