What I’m reading is that it’s only a few weeks until we have to start a proper online chatter about this movie so they can bring it back to theatres again

The incessant attack on “godhetssignalering” as the name is in Swedish is one of the most damaging aspects of modern society. The embrace of cynicism is corrosive to social movement and essentially leaves out any attempt at societal advancement.

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

I’ve heard it suggested that they would’ve been better off with Merlins, was that ever considered or is it just people underestimating engineering challenges?

Your account really highlights how much the campaign, no matter what one thinks of Rommel and his various British opponents, was won and lost at sea.

One thing I absolutely love about your project is this focus on the logistics of keeping the axis forces in Africa supplied. Most accounts of the desert war I’ve read tend to focus on only the last miles of logistics with some mentions of convoys and the like.

Wile as she is JKR might be the most important writer of the 21th century. A whole generation raised on her slop and then the extra add on slop they produced themselves.

Substack post from Lincoln Michel:

"Alchemised debuts at #1 with massive sales, making it the THIRD Harry Potter Draco-Hermione friends-to-enemies fan fic to be turned into a bestselling novel in 2025. It's easy to say that publishers are just feeding readers slop, but harder to admit that they... enjoy it. They’re going to keep publishing it if people gobble it up by the ton."

Rubert är något av en varböld på den engelsktalande världen. Dock var han inte ensam, talkradiovärlden på 90 talet med figurer som Rush Limbaugh var också drivande och utan Rubert hade nog någon annan fått idén.

Den är ovanligt stark inom det republikanska partiet idag men det kulturella har legat och bubblat sedan 60-talets southern strategy och skapandet av en högerfilterbubbla via Fox News mm.

Nja, Roosevelt gjorde ju allt han kunde med stora delar av opinionen mot sig för att stödja Storbritannien mot Tyskland och Kina mot Japan. Sen sp var det ju ingen som startade krig mot Tyskland pga Nazism: den brittisk-franska krigsförklaring handlade om aggressionen mot Polen.

Det har definitivt funnits perioder av extrem etnonationalism, det tenderar att gång vågor. Dock tenderade de ju på att fixera på inhemska minoriteter som urinvånarna och afroamerikaner.

En av deras första regleringar av invandring var ju The Chinese Exclusion Act som specifikt förbjöd kineser att invandra.

Hela idén med slaveriet rättfärdigaste ju med en idé om svarta som lägre stående. Etnonationalisn likaså, det mest intressanta där är ju hur folkgrupper som italienare och irländare som först sågs som invaderande ohyra ”blev vita”

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.

Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.

I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

“I was struck at the beginning (of the video), it talks about the feeling of powerlessness, which I think is so much. I think it’s so important that we as a church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what’s going on in so many cities in the United States right now. At least the church cannot be silent,” the pope told the El Pasoans, according to a video of the meeting provided to El Paso Matters by Hope Border Institute.

Seitz responded: “You’ve spoken very strongly. We’re trying to do the same in our country and yet not get into the political fray the best that we can.”

Pope Leo told Seitz that he’d like to see the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops become more vocal on immigration issues.

“I mean, even within the conference, there are challenges. That’s one place they should be … I wish they were stronger in their own voice,” Leo said, adding that Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the conference, should speak out more on immigration.

“There’s been some good movement in that sense, but I certainly intend to continue to encourage” U.S. bishops to address immigration, Leo said.

Jag vet inte jag tycker bara mycket av talet med flygbegränsning känns väldigt svennigt. Vi lever i ett land där kring 20 procent av befolkningen har utländsk bakgrund, det är många som riskerar skäras av från sina familjer.
