My greatest worry remains that basically any of the negotiations is seen as a terminal threat by agricultural lobbies as well as falling victim to parochial interests (see cypriot opposition to CETA over the then lack of a halloumi PDO), limiting the possibility for progress.

As with the Inquisition they are Malcador's baby, but while he did the recruiting 7th edition codex has Big E approve officiate their chapter's founding before they are sent to off to Titan (which Big E also set up for them).
idk if that still holds up as canon though.

This reminds me of the worst type of 40k fans crying about GW doing retcons, an incredible statement when the entirety of 40k canon is just a series of retcons of half baked ideas from the 80s and 90s (laudatory). They took 64 books and 18 years just to clean up the mess that is the Horus Heresy

the German Mittelständler's urge to do business with the enemy no matter the legal barriers and risks is actually fascinating, I hope they get the opportunity to explore this with a prison psychiatrist.

for the moment the discipline has been a positive suprise I'd say, particularly considering its more politically conservative reputation in the past relative to the rest of the social sciences or academia generally.

Also people absolutely were there to protect him! His originally planned execution was stayed after the public intervention of British clergymen and at the latest after he was moved to Dachau he was treated like royalty compared to all KZ prisoners (including most priests) but a few fellow clerics

The relative popularity of the poem in English language discourse relative to that in Germany always feels telling on the latter point.
Requesting clemency from Hitler in '39 so that he may reprise his WW1 post as a submarine commander because loyalty to Germany outweighed anti-nazism, too

there was a bit of a thing about her being a stereotypical exvangelical with very negative opinions on democrats/bothsidesing after she voiced some political takes well over a year ago, but I don't know if that stuck around to a meaningful degree.

oh yeah, I mostly mean that they are now getting to that cap as the rhetoric gets more völkisch etc

beyond just herself it is a very awkward position for the pretty diverse bunch of Tories who rose from backbenchers since '10 or '15 to the front benches under BoJo or later while the party leaned further right, because now the colour of their skin puts a hard cap on how far they can go

The way that Todd in the Shadows talks about pink pony club and the way her music blew up in his best songs of 2024 video feels like a perspective that could easily stick around for her.

Good fucking lord having to give up my directly partisan political work with this year's election ended up being some very lucky timing in terms of my conscience, even if I'm at severe risk of recidivism after grad school.

agreed, but it would be very interesting to learn about how the negotiation process played out between parties, developing the exact exemptions that Japan and the EU secured, how their "investment" stuff was discussed etc.
Clearly US negotiators were looking for something, but wtf even was it?

Very much in line with the "Real American" meme reflected by dreams of WWC outreach and ohio diner stories, you very rarely see people interrogate why they think these people are the ones that truly must simply be appeased rather than reasoned with or addressed otherwise.

feels like coordination failures are part of the problem here. "Everyone else seems to want to try to ride the tiger, so my best play is to be the first to tame it by giving it even more treats", basically.
The tendency to ascribe an inherent authenticity and worth to the far right doesn't help

This felt somewhat clear by the EU deal at the latest when nothing was written down and the only explicitly agreed upon part were the rates unilaterally set by the US

He's been on a pre-Trump GOP apologia spree recently, including stuff like the GOP apparently not being anti-intellectual or hostile to the universities pre trump, purely indicated by having more voters with university degrees rather than their policies.

I think the fume hood is perfectly placed, really

Tbf woodfibre matts behave pretty much the same (including feeling absolutely awful if you get it on you) while the material was technically around in the past.
With the "benefit" that their flammability is also very historically accurate, but that didn't stop us from stuffing it in every gap.

So this is how I found out your account was unsuspended lmao.
Also wtf is going on with Cenk's face

The decision not to do the time skip honestly has to be the worst example of his refusal to script out his narratives in advance tbh, just leaving a bunch of children no longer useful for the plot, so in AFFC their long lost cousins have to show up and take over their job (literally with Darkstar)

"Gulf 1 was bad because the a critical amount of neocons would over the next decade develop Saddam derangement syndrome over their own decision not to exceed their mandate"
incredible bit

I think it may be less unique as a business model in the charitable org space generally, even if the scope here is exceptional

another worrying part is that the resulting media cycle enhancing the reach of the ad may be considered desirable by some ad agencies and their clients, which isn't going to lead to less "joke" references to white supremacy.

so basically by reducing friction in the (student-college matching) market it has become significantly less efficient

A new investigation from the Free Press, reported in the style of the harlem shake video

Linsday Ellis has a pretty big backlog of stuff that never made it to YT, also Abolish Everything can be fun.
The Jet Lag the Game guys (assuming you haven't watched them I guess their Euro, JP, Swiss and Korean series are a recommendation) also did an imo fun show called The Getaway

(Admittedly coming from econ/econometrics literature) I've always been under the impression that the application by legal academics started with criminal law, but since social scientists apply similar methods to other areas of legal outcomes, I assume legal academics do too.

I think there's a slight exception for legal academics doing empirical work which becomes indistinguishable from modern social sciences in method.

it's imo also at least in part a (social) media environment thing that when cases become public they are almost universally broadcast well beyond the immediately affected community
