They’re all imperialist. However, British and French culture have both been analysed through a post-colonial lens, while Russia isn’t seen as a colonial entity even by some of the people writing about colonialism. This downplays the experiences of entire ethnicities and cultures
People are like “this never happens” but it happens all the time—especially when two or more people living separately move in together, and can thus afford a nicer place off of multiple incomes. I see this happen all the time, in real life!
New housing is expensive and not affordable to the poor. But the people who can afford to live in the new building vacate their old home, which is affordable. The affordability benefits of new housing are indirect.
🧵A detailed timeline on escalations in the lead-up to yesterday's clashes between Thailand and Cambodia. Much of the escalation seems to stem from Cambodia, with their troops fortifying many sectors before the May 28 clashes and surging strategic assets immediately after. 🗺️ -…
'I don't blame the driver for that moment, something's going on there in the downshift phase of that Ferrari.' "His last lap into turn 18, the bus stop chicane, just going to listen to this. That sounds... I hear a lot of locking in the rear axle there, have another listen....…
historians and archivists and the like being on here is really showing me that these people have no idea what those careers actually entail. the majority of human history is not digitized.

Portuguese is easy; you have the melodious and happy variant that everyone loves (Brazilian) and then you have the Portuguese from Portugal variant (sounds like Russian)
every time you hear portuguese you do like process of elimination for every other romance language until you're like oh you're speaking portuguese
have you tried getting a null result published? scientific publication bias towards research that shows any kind of effect has been well documented for decades. null results don't get published and they're far less likely to help a researcher get additional funding
“just 68% of the 7,057 researchers whose work had produced null results had shared them in some form, and just 30% had tried to publish them in a journal.” What a joke. #NullEffectsMatter
I guarantee you this is 100% because they locked in exactly what the shot was going to be before any camera started rolling.
CGI in the 2000's looks better than most movies today
this is funny as shit. Translation, famous for only having one interpretation. History, famous for having completely digitized records and research. Writers, famous for requiring zero human experience and customer service, already rended complete garbage by AI

translator first on this list is making me want to tear my hair out… translation is so full of nuance and it’s an art in itself it’s not just saying x word in this language is y. pick up a book, read the translators note and tell me translation isn’t art

I cannot believe these people are real please open the schools
“I just think it isn’t fair, because my son hasn’t done anything, other than be born to me, to earn that money.” Your job as a parent is to provide your kid with every unfair advantage you can. Each generation of parents throughout history has understood this. Until the Boomers.
Comedian and author Tony Hawks explains why he isn't leaving his son anything in his will.
so not only does the "radfem" group targeting "sensitive content" in games and having them removed from stores have an end goal of removing queer people from public life, but are the same group who caused Tyler the Creator to get banned from entering Australia
Itchio and steam is just the start, if Detroit become human is one of their targets you really think any game or movie or book or indie project is safe? These people are a roving band of reactionary sycophants and everyone else is turning a blind eye because its "gross"
It's really wild that there's a chain of emails (released by Don Jr. himself) saying: "Hey wanna do some crimes with the Russian govt?" to which he replies "Hell yeah let's do it. I love it!" And people still pretend it's made up.
Leavitt says the intelligence community “concocted” the “lie” that “the president’s son was holding secret meetings with the Russians,” when Don Jr himself tweeted that fact for all to see
If people would only talk to Trump like this - with the irritation you’d express towards any blustering, clueless idiot - we literally wouldn’t be in this mess. Instead even the people who are supposed to be antagonistic towards him put on this show of fake respect.
Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion Powell: I’m not aware of that. Trump: It just came out Powell: You just added in a third building Trump: It’s a building that’s being built Powell: It was built five years ago.
Because the 25-year-old socialist at your office is going to lecture you about how your gatorade is made with the blood of the Global South but they're not going to do a mass shooting.
In all seriousness, can someone explain to me why being a fascist is unacceptable, but openly being a communist is perfectly fine?
Let me tell you something… if i have a son he better crash out about me just like this!!!!
WATCH: “Can you imagine if my dad did any of those things? Where the f*ck is @jaketapper?” Hunter Biden points to a few of the constant drumbeat of Trump gaffes that would’ve been treated as massive scandals had President Biden done them.
I think people fundamentally misunderstand what reading does When you read Adam Smith you not only get bullet points and examples but see how he crafts an argument, how he mobilizes evidence (or doesn’t!) and spurs questions that you don’t even know to ask bc they’re subtextual
Spending an hour asking ChatGPT about Adam Smith generally teaches you 3x as much as spending an hour reading Wealth of Nations. The undergrads are using AI because it's just a better, more efficient way to learn things
Ngl being worried about immigrants taking your job in a country that is facing extreme labor shortage in every sector but especially elder care is a sign of a world being milled to dust by international right wing online slop
Changes in Japanese views from 2016 to 2025 (from Ipsos polling): •“Japan is in decline” 40% → 70% •“Ignored by traditional parties” 39% → 68% •“Prioritize hiring nationals if jobs are scarce” 38% → 60% •“Immigrants are taking jobs” 12% → 36% Fertile ground for Sanseito?
there is no record of this photo prior to 2024 so it's safe to assume that this is AI. while this may seem harmless, the use of AI to establish false histories is indeed very dangerous. we are living in the age of misinformation.
