Can’t believe there’s anything new that Sadao Asada didn’t already dig up, but you never know. A lot of this debate is just reinterpretation of the limited sources available (Shusen shiroku etc)

List of claims about the Middle Ages

It's rare for me to have to correct overly *positive* claims about the Middle Ages - usually I have to deal with the old "Dark Ages" myths. This meme gets some things right, overstates others and goes a bit bonkers on a few more. Taking each claim in turn:
1. True. At least, far more common than ...

They told insurers a bear damaged their car. But it was actually a person in a costume Four LA residents allegedly defrauded multiple insurance companies of over $141,000. A wildlife expert who reviewed footage of the incidents said that the culprit was "clearly a human in a bear suit."

Gonna try another old-Twitter-style thread, since the last one got a lot of engagement. This time about a topic some people have raised, but needs more attention: the likelihood that Trump's tariffs will become an engine of immense corruption 1/
