The French new wave director who got himself kicked out of new wave, Jean Melville Pierre hated how Nazis were depicted in movies saying that's not how the Nazis he fought looked like and everyone was reproducing Nazi propaganda

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 7d

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

In #JapaneseFolklore there is often strange advice given about how to escape from #yokai. For today's #MythologyMonday I've put a few examples together in this thread.

New @greenpeace.de research finds alarmingly high levels of toxic #PFAS “forever chemicals” in seafood from the Baltic and North Seas.

These substances are linked to cancer and immune system damage.

No one should have to worry about toxic chemicals in their food.

We need a global PFAS ban.

‘Forever chemicals’ found in Baltic Sea fish

Exposure to PFAS may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals.
