The talented and knowledgeable David Rickman reconstructed these warriors first attested in 1689, until the early 19thc, in a series of drawings, showing how even the legs were protected under horse armor. Not included are their thick buff coat with neckguard and helmets.

This kind of aggression is a fairly textbook dementia symptom and I’m not sure why we’re not talking about it more.

i don't love Amy Acton, but her victory is now one of the things I'm most looking forward to on election night

beyond even my own ideological biases towards Democrats winning, seeing someone as personally disgusting as Vivek Ramaswamy lose his chance for power will be euphoric

A lot of dystopiaslop (Hunger Games, Black Mirror, whatever we’re seeing here) assumes the market for the Watch The Poor Suffer show is the rich rather than the slightly-less-poor, but the rich prefer to entertain each other.

Interestingly, The Long Walk got this right.

何を言ってらっしゃる。小島監督なんか海外での方が「神扱い」ですよ。海外が嫌うのは「パブリッシャー」とかの、クリエイターと消費者の間の仲介者として存在する企業です。逆に日本人がそこら辺の区別が付いてないようにみれますが。

Hard to overstate how much the Amy Acton Mom ad is what the modern GOP is about. All these anxieties about how people (especially women and children) might use their agency to break bonds of filial duty and free themselves, rather than be subject to control and abuse.

We sort of satirize them as the “you can’t groom my kids, that’s MY job!” Party, but this ad is very nearly that explicit argument. They don’t want schools to empower young people to find the autonomy to come out as gay or trans, they don’t want colleges to teach young adults about the breadth of the world and the human dignity of people from diverse backgrounds, they don’t want women to have financial independence and jobs and no-fault divorce.

At the heart of the GOP is this very straightforward premise: “there are some people whom it is my right to abuse. They are my property, and they owe me total obedience; freeing themselves from my abuse is a betrayal of natural hierarchy and divine law. You are trying to take my victims away from me, and I’ll do anything to stop you.”

これ言うとマジで炎上しそうだけど

デモ隊が暴れて暴徒化する国より、30年間も経済が停滞してるのに大きなデモも起きない国の方が、よほど人類としてヤバいと思うの。

「急にフランス人から日本人が嫌われ始めた」
「ネトウヨの排外投稿」

そんな単語がちらちらトレンドになっていたので、フランス語のXをのぞくと、経緯はかなり具体的でした。

発端は、フランスの抗議活動で日本のアニメのキャラクターが掲げられたことに対するポスト。

ある日本人から「日本のアニメを使わないでほしい」という声が上がりました。

これに対し、フランス語の返信「なら、ヨーロッパやフランスに着想を得たアニメを全部引っ込めて」。この投稿は300万回以上表示されています。その後のやり取りでは、この投稿主も日本人をひどく罵っています。

「治安が悪いのは移民のせいだ」という日本語の返信がたくさん飛び交い、これに呆れるフランス人もいます。

よその国の出来事に何を書くか。それはもう、日本語の中だけの話ではありません。

Japan fumbled one (1) student protest movement 50 years ago and have been subservient to the LDP ever since. All the horror stories about Japanese police are from that era. High conviction rates, forced confessions, detention tortures...

モンゴルの保護区で日本人がやらかして大火事が発生し、８割が焼けてしまい、中国がその消火にあたったというニュース、何で日本では報道しないんだろうな。中国に感謝と謝罪をするべきだろ。モンゴルにもだけど。

フランスの人が日本の人のTwitterのおぞましさに絶望してるのを見てこんな差別主義国家でごめんね、フランスはマンガ文化とか気に入ってくれて仲良くしてくれてたのに本当にごめんね、と思っている

Dans ce cas retirez tout vos animes qui s’inspirent de l’Europe et de la France et peut-être que là on reconsidérera votre proposition

日本の社会学者の宮台真司は、このような日本人を「言葉の自動機械」と呼びました。
自分で文脈を考えることができず、「借り物の言葉」でしか話せない哀れな人々です。

Fake Japanese account: "This is what diversity looks like. We must never let this reach Japan"

Real Japanese account: "Koreans claim to be civilized yet if we look at the 1936 Boat Incident you may see differently" [Blurriest black and white photo you've ever seen]

@ThatchEffendi Besides the ever incredible William Dafoe, David Bowie’s portrayal of Pontius is fantastic for the short time he’s on screen. Calculating and hard, but also with a subtle touch of sympathy towards Jesus.

Socialism is when you destroy public services and the more public services you destroy the more socialism it is
