When I heard that the Odyssey did not include a single scene where Yanni plays the piano, I knew Nolan was ignoring Greek Culture

ICC: We are calling for the arrest of Putin, Joseph Kony, Duterte...like we did for figures like Qaddafi in the past. Punditry: Yes! International law must be upheld. ICC: Also the leaders of Hamas....and Israeli leadership like Netanyahu and..... Punditry:

Putting aside the fact that Tunku and Avi lack reading comprehension from Mahmood Mamdani's book....if Idi Amin tried to visit NYC now, the main concern is would have first is how tf did Idi Amin resurrect himself

My favorite thing about Yglesias RT Destiny (nightmare blunt rotation aside) on how the far right supports the far left....is that Destiny is the streamer who chills out with Nick Fuentes

I owe you an apology Mr. Worldwide and Cuba. I wasn't familiar with your game. I can't believe y'all structured the black power movement, BLM, Antifa, being anti-Genocide, and so much more that everybody from Malcolm X to Zohran Mamdani are actually controlled by Cuban agents

Looking at the horrific videos of the police beating student protesters in Delhi, I'm re-upping this song by Blaaze who made it clear that we need to "Ban the Police"

Useful thread by @mjbusta.bsky.social in the other place on why the Cuba report (besides its obvious bullshit) is so harmful

Good piece by @angelamuaythai.bsky.social on why Muay Thai (and other combat sports) can be therapeutic, but how often its used as a substitute for therapy muay-ying.com/muay-thai-is...

I will say watching Tunku have complete derangement regarding Mamdani and anyone who has morals regarding human rights, equality, and justice, is kind of funny.

Okay dokey

The same crowd who keeps going "omg why does everybody overly focus on Palestine and Israel" really can't understand why Greta would show solidarity to another group of people facing oppression

A fun little milestone: yesterday this became the 400th book I've finished since i first started keeping track 9 years ago. If I'm being honest ive probably forgotten as much (if not more) as I've read, but i always enjoy the knowledge I get from reading.

Are you telling me that the head of a think tank that has been cheerleading the targeting of hospitals, schools, journalists, civilians, and an apologist of apartheid (hell much of this prior to Oct 2023)...would advocate the same against other critics? Im shocked, shocked

Came to the UK to see what is happening with this so called Islamist takeover...and all they're doing is hosting exhibits on dragons. Smdh

Wow, just wow. Probably one of the most extraordinary books I've read in these past few years. A big kudos to Anand Gopal and his team for telling the story of the brave men and women who took to the streets in Manbij

Uhhh what?

Small snippets from Carnegie Endowments survey of Indian Americans. And again yet more proof that Indian media/commentary are extremely out of touch regarding everything on Indian Americans

I'm traveling to Europe for the first time in 3 years, with my first stop being France (mostly as a transit stop). But before I land, I'm making sure I educate myself with what is sure is the most important cultural product of Franco-American relations:

What the discourse currently is at the other place

One of Indian twitters biggest contributors of slop......gives the perfect example of savarna/white feminism...while claiming there is no such thing

Just finished Loubna Mrie's excellent, and frank memoir about growing up in Jableh, her time as a journalist covering the civil war, and so much more. I definitely recommend

Should I be surprised that Indian media would invite such a horrible bigot, including one who has regularly attacked Indians? Probably not. Why worry about platforming anti-Indian racists when you already had the likes of Tommy Robinson and Steve Bannon

When you think Francesca Albanese, communists, anarchists and abolitionist are the same on Iran as the other characters you mentioned...perhaps the issue is with you

I am sad to inform you that after nearly 10 years....Greenwald is starting to think that Trump wasnt anti-war

Well honestly between her downplaying the Epstein files and anti-trans crusade....it makes sense that she admitted shes a Trump voter based on her "classical liberal" principles

The rep is a bigot. Audrey Truschke is a scholar and in the tweet just translates a part of Valmiki's Ramayana where Sita asserts herself and criticizes Rama and Lakshmana....and the latter is what HAF thinks is dangerous

Well giving UpScrolled a try, let's see how it goes. Should I create TikTok style vids?

Greta posted something criticizing Iran...Will the same Desis whose entire personality remains "Greta is awesome unlike that stooge Malala" start accusing Greta of being a stooge too?
