The Minister for Muslim Affairs had to resign but he’s a Muslim who had an affair?!

I don’t expect to be persuaded. Ofc LaRouche a very American crank but the Right would hate Soros’s “progressive prosecutors”/be sceptical of global warming if he never existed. Do the paleolibertarians who coined “Kochtopus” tell you anything about the libs who adopted the term?

I'm writing another book

The disadvantage of writing a history book narrated in the present tense for “immediacy” is that when the author says “recently a historian has written” you have to stop and guess if he means a Chinese historian writing ‘recently relative to 1794’ or a modern professor So-and-So

@Streetcar89 Happy birthday!

@bryancsk I think that the Americans are fond enough of Aussies that, if they Win, they would let us be the 51st state, or at least Guam

@AntoniusTetrax @ericesheng I think Rabbit meant across, which would be true if you judge AEH by the standards of Western poets (but not compared to Chinese poetry or most individual Chinese poets)

Wikipedia ofc mostly leans way left but one big exception is articles on Catholicism which are generally whitewashes/absurdly incomplete
The bio of St X, “Hammer of the Jews” & author of De hæreticis cremandis, will be like “he fought clerical corruption & gave food to the poor”

[Larry Sanger @lsanger]

I co-founded Wikipedia, but an anonymous mob runs the show—and now I’m banned.

I told the story in the Washington Examiner, out this morning:

Me when someone who claims to be rightwing swears

Unconsciously betraying that you don’t share my rigid moral authoritarianism and hypersensitive disgust reflex 🤔

You know all that medieval European Christian art annoys the people who run the Cloisters so they shoehorn in a Mesoamerican exhibit

Couldn’t be eg Guanyin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, juxtaposed with the Virgin Mary. Has to be the Aztec child-eating bat god

[Karol Karpinski @karolkarpinski]

@M_Law8 There's a book to be written about this very final act of Roman Catholic emancipation—from Basil Hume's appointment to Tony Blair's conversion. In hindsight, it was just a small blip in the overall trend of secularisation and decline, but it didn't feel as such at the time.

@si_rubinstein That moment in turn had suceeded a rather triumphalist RC moment
