Australia's third prime minister wasn't even a citizen but he was white enough that nobody paid too much attention

I appreciate that it starts at zero

A fresh version of that chart shows it's now stable at about half the peak

This puts into words why I find it hard to imagine Vance as his successor

This picture is at least two years old

It's more from the community around the game, such as their subreddit, where they often call their enemies fascists (ironically, since they're playing on the fascist side in the game) and reference the hellbomb code

I think a stronger take can be justified: The horrors of the Sino-Japanese War are only integrated into its history is because it serves as one of the founding wars in CCP historiography.

It took a number of decades before the CCP cared about what happened in Nanjing.

The Schmitt speech today is beyond reprehensible, but it’s also just such a weird moment in American politics where people like Schmitt have to reconstruct an alternate history where *they* are “Heritage Americans”. Bro you are German and Catholic the founding fathers did not want you on the team

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

This is evil -- the kind of evil you read about in history books, the kind of evil you would never mistake for a single second if you saw it in another country. When you ask, of historical evils, "how could they let that happen?" That's us. We're letting this happen.

China must be full of China haters

Are you sure it's not a white-rumped munia?

Lonchura - Wikipedia

Some sort of this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonchura

Not sure how I’m going to get through these next four years without becoming a crazed street preacher going, “Repent! Repent! You will meet God one day!”

The theory is that they're not there yet and that's why you need to invest $100B in me, so I will achieve that level of AI first

Agreed. Google on OpenRouter shows no drop.

I'm pretty sure tea house scams are illegal

Xiang gang? Yeah, that's what I call my friends in Hunan

From seeing it on Facebook and everywhere else, it feels like it's the biggest cultural event in a while. That's not to say news sites should be covering it, but also, news sites like it when people click on their articles.

Why isn't the official English spelling of 维吾尔族 Weiwuerzu?

A 1940 newspaper clip from the Springfield Leader and Press, declaring: Superman Poisoning American Children, Irate Nazis cClaim."

"Superman Arouses Teutonic Anger" reads the headline in the Amarillo Daily News"

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?

That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

My how times change ...

Here I was expecting the verse to be "You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God."

There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

i just want people with an avatar that’s an animal or a cartoon or a famous person to know that that’s still what i think you look like

Yeah, I think it's been pretty clear for a while this is the case, and that they don't want to say is only more evidence bsky.app/profile/skee...
