Nehru's tryst with destiny speech is so fucking good too

Olivia Rodrigo basically the most famous Filipina in history? Love it when a country gets its first global pop star, like Thailand with Lalisa

Clouds in the west laid great shivering mirages on the plain, the shadows of dreams of lakes gone dry ten million years ago.

remembering when I got drunk and texted a friend a long rant about how liberalism is El-ahrairah, the Prince With a Thousand Enemies, and we must learn from Hazel-rah in dealing with the Elil

I know technically the Black Rabbit of Inlé can’t hurt me but it’s still upsetting when you see him gliding over a nearby field

KY Sen. Rand Paul on X:

I think direct first gen African-Americans who move by choice as high skill immigrants are going to be a huge neurosis for US racism because they undermine the entire thing

post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 10mo ago

can’t shake the feeling that this is trying to undercut the obvious bright future of Nigerian-Americans, which is a big fucking problem for the Caliper Crew

I’m sure there was discourse at the time but it’s fascinating that the first Black President was a second-gen immigrant and not a direct descendent of the slave trade

The convicted Bosnian Serb genocidaire Ratko Mladic has died in a prison cell. He has died in a prison cell, while despite all of his murderous efforts little Bosniak girls and little Bosniak boys are again being born all across Bosnia and Herzegovina. You lost, Ratko.

I am a Portuguese intelligence agent undercover in Indian Occupied Goa and every day I call my buddy in Angola and make fun of him. Then I go back to doing nothing

In his first speech as Prime Minister Andy Burnham pledged to end rough sleeping in this country. If he wants to end rough sleeping, he must scrap the hostile immigration rules that push people onto the streets. Here's why 👇

I'm not gonna lie: Macron and his generals singing the Marseillaise to a nuclear weapon is a bit chilling.

Rory Taylor@rorytaylor.bsky.social · 6mo ago

🇫🇷 Incredible acapella Marseillaise after Macron's nuclear speech at Île Longue. Almost makes you want to join the French Foreign Legion.

Apparently under Franco a lot of ETA leadership lived in France and the French turned a blind eye to them. Fun job for a former Free French officer in the DGSE, nodding and winking at guys who blow up fascists

And let’s not forget that in their decision to build up the asylum backlog for political gain they caused misery to thousands of people, survivors of war and torture, trapped unable to live their lives

Tom Roberts@tpgroberts.bsky.social · 22h ago

One of many, many weaknesses of the last government was the decision that it was better to loudly cause problems for political point scoring than to try and solve them at all. The entire backlog, the massive uplift in salience and touchpoints, all due to a decision not to do their jobs.
