Probably the biggest power move I've ever witnessed live.

I domesticated a raccoon named Larry. Or I suppose she did me. She would come to my door in the morning and wait for me and then sit on my lap while she ate breakfast.
She brought her babies for three years and let me babysit them while she napped. It saved me from insanity. Cutest pet I ever had.

Japanese news is almost always obviously rightist propaganda but man have things ramped up since the election
Commentary: Beijing’s blatant misrepresentations of reality are rooted in Marxist-Leninist ideology.
The Chinese Communist Party's ‘Inverted World’

The experience and national identity of the entire rest of the Americas being completely erased for yet another gazed navel of American exceptionalism
"The United States isn’t a nation like other nations, and it never has been. There is no American ethnicity to back up the state, and there was no such distinctive ethnicity even in 1776, when the U.S. was created."--Gordon Wood www.wsj.com/opinion/why-...
