Ok, I think I’ve found a library who are interested in carrying out this digitization project. I won’t say too much until it’s confirmed, but now we need someone at the National Archives of Egypt to reach out to for a collaboration. If you’ve ever done research involving the…

Ok, I think this is actually worth a shot. We already got one prospective volunteer. If anyone would be interested in contributing to such a project, or know someone who might, reply here or DM me! Anyone can join; bonus points if you have experience with archival research

Famously Americans are not allowed to criticize China or Iran.

@kan_immanuel It’s literally the whole point of the original post bro

Two relevant observations:

1. The ethnonym “French” comes from the Franks, who were not originally native to Gaul

2. From medieval to modern times, the French were never the only native ethnic group in what’s now called France

@ArunAnnow The tweet’s deleted, so I’m guessing whatever it was, it didn’t happen?

@KenRoth I would not believe anything Barak Ravid writes about “tensions” between Trump and Netanyahu. He pulled the same shtick with Biden, and all that alleged talk amounted to nothing. Biden and Trump still give Bibi whatever he wants

“What’s this?”

“Your next-generation space telescope, sir”

“No, no no, it’s not 2027 yet”

“It’s launching this summer now. We even did it under budget”

This is exactly why billionaires can’t exist. This man is burning the entire world down because he cannot accept his daughter for who she is. And he has the money to actually do it. No one can have that power.

Rashida Tlaib and the winner of the NJ-12 primary Adam Hamawy were casually smeared as “terrorists” by mainline politicians and commentators over the past 24 hours. Will we get panicked trend pieces about “Muslim safety” and the “alarming rise in anti-Muslim racism?” We will not.

A majority of Democrats, nearly half of Independents, and one in five Republicans think the US relationship with Israel does more to hurt than help US interests, according to our @InGlobalAffairs/@YouGov poll.

11 children are being killed every day in Lebanon. The indiscriminate bombings must stop. The government of Israel has expanded strikes across the country despite a ceasefire.

Supporting the Lebanon War Powers Resolution today is critical.

@JLingPystynen @MagnusPharao @royllovians @avzaagzonunaada Owning wealth and land that was stolen is very much a crime. Not that I blame present-day white South Africans for benefiting from the apartheid created by their ancestors, but they are still an economically privileged class

It's not a coincidence that the US's two favourite countries in the Americas, Ecuador and El Salvador, are both torture states run by men linked to drug-trafficking. That's always their favourite guy in Latin America.

…*lustuz, meaning “desire, want”, including but not necessarily in a sexual sense. Lustig comes from “joy, pleasure (i.e. satisfying one’s desire)”

[El Cabbage @AlCabbage045]

Checked Wiktionary to see whether German lustig was in fact cognate to English “lusty” (it is), and was greeted with The Rock for the Swedish cognate

[El Cabbage @AlCabbage045]

Every time Duolingo has a sentence like “mein Bruder ist lustig”, it can’t help but sound to my Anglophone ears like the beginning of some fucked up incest porn. I had to check whether it was a coincidence or the terms are cognate. Apparently they’re reflexes of Proto-Germanic…

“Hasan claims to support people changing their minds, but why doesn’t he support me changing my mind for the worse?” -very smart person

Shoe0nhead claims she's only changed her mind on "like, three things over the course of a decade."

Turns out those three things really appeal to Groypers.

Cops handcuffed a stabbing victim and let him die, now they’re trying to blame their own fatal incompetence on DEI and anti-white racism. Don’t let the cops get away with this
