This is from @najibquraishi’s 2009 doc “Behind Enemy Lines,” wherein he was embedded with the Taliban for 10 days. You can watch it on PBS Frontline! https://t.co/PtDuVYogDz

Taliban fighters argue after a failed ambush on US/ANA convoy

@kisuge87 Yeah, this family member applied 3 months before leaving the US in July 2025 (when the estimate was 13 months). I think it will be a close call for it to be within the year of being outside the US.

There is a glaringly obvious message for Europe in the 28 point plan: This is the end of the end.

We have been told repeatedly and unambiguously that Ukraine’s security, and therefore Europe’s security, will be Europe’s responsibility. And now it is. Entirely.

If you are a European leader asking your team to book you on the next flight to Washington to go talk to Daddy, please don’t.

Not without a plan, not cap in hand, not humiliating us all in front of the cameras at the Oval office.

Europe is our continent, our future is decided here, not there. We aren’t poor, we have options, we can finally decide to assist Ukraine to the full extent of our very extensive capabilities, restore European dignity and defend Europe.

Or we can continue to wait for the miracle we now know is not coming.

And here is an immigration protest on May 1, 2006 in San Diego. The Mexican flag is still being flown. It’s common for California Chicanos to fly it as part of cultural identity, even if they’ve been here for generations. I think a lot of people miss this in their pearl clutching

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

This is what immigration demonstrations looked like from 2006. There were 100,000 people marching in Dallas that day proudly waving American flags. No one can deny that the American flag carries immense Aura.

This is America.

Framing the People’s Republic of China as the sole “China,” especially related to WWII, omits the majority of efforts from nationalist/KMT forces. Mao and the CPC were hiding in the mountains as Shanghai was under siege. Collapsing the PRC into the 1945 post war order is wrong.

[Henry Hakamäki @Huck1995]

-Says "Countries with little historical connection to WWII"

-Proceeds to name China (~20 million died in the war), Vietnam (occupied by Vichy France, then Japan), and Kazakhstan (sent 1.5mil to fight, 600K died fighting fascism)

NGO brain at work. Historical literacy = nil🤦‍♂️

Every time I see posts like this I CMD+F for "Uighurs" or "China" and don't see anything. We've decided which genocide is worthy of our attention many times over in history.

[Joseph Attard @josephattard02]

JUST ONE SMALL PROBLEM. THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A LEAST WORST GENOCIDE, HARRY.

@jeangalea @wpengine has all of this plugin data available on its platform. They could engender lots of goodwill by making this information available to plugin devs through a community program or fulfilling requests.

The people who act like Letterboxd reviews are the lowest point of film discourse online clearly did not spend as much time reading IMDB and Netflix DVD user reviews in the mid-2000s as I did.

@tnyfrontrow Does it have any enjoyable technical flourishes that Fincher has excelled in recently (like the re-recorded audio in Mank)?

Viral video in China shows Taylor Swift, Emma Watson, Donald Trump and Rowan Atkinson all speaking flawless Mandarin using the power of translation + AI lip syncing.

@meaganroll You should try crushing them up with the bottom of your whisky glass (full of water) for more dramatic effect

@jburnmurdoch This is an interesting example because it’s almost always used by boomers. What relationship does Inter-generational policy making have on this POV?

[John P. Gamboa @jgamboa]

@david__moser I remember friends being flabbergasted upon hearing I spent $15 on an app in 2011 when I moved to Shanghai. It’s still on my phone.

@YIMBYLAND Got some bad news...
