I never knew that in the United States literally the president can do anything as long as everybody agrees not to stop them. Very weird, realizing the entire thing was made of cotton candy

This is straight-up silly.
"Turkey’s demographic decline amidst the robust demographic growth in the Central Asia republics, particularly in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, the coming ‘Turkish’ century could witness a rise of Central Asian Turkic influence at the expense of Turkish leadership"

Let's say Russia decided to pull an America and say, you know what, Kosovo is the Serbian West Bank and we're giving it back to the Serbs
You'd see exactly how "over it" Serbia is
Their framing also suggests that Muslims in Bosnia or Kosovo are foreign, which is simply not true, and racist to boot

anyway my point is not to be pedantic, it's to say that kosovo is a de facto and more or less de jure independent country today not bc the serbs "got over it" but bc the international community decided that the serbs weren't allowed to rule it anymore, and have stuck by that decision

One of the things I think people forget about Rome is that it enslaved and murdered multiple civilizations directly around it and perhaps it retarded growth as much as it fostered it
Many "What if Rome survived to the present" stories exist, usually built on a misunderstanding of the Middle Ages

One man should not be able to overturn more than a hundred years of legal rights, literally enshrined after a civil war, but here we are, on the eve of metastasis, knowing the cancer has already returned but waiting to find out if it's spread to our bones.
the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

Was not expecting the Crumb discourse this week to intersect with my Wolfe fandom, but I completely approve
Gwern goes so far as to say that Crumb's artwork is the equivalent of AI art slop. What you see is what you get, nothing more.

I think you can comfortably say that Hillary Clinton is awful, not a great mind, and we are better off moving on from and forgetting her. This is embarrassing, ass covering equivocation. It sickens me. She stands for nothing.
Hillary Clinton doubled down at the Doha Forum on remarks she made last week at the Israel Hayom Summit, where she claimed young people who are pro-Palestinian have been propagandized & misinformed by social media. Moments ago, she said young people are getting an “incomplete” picture of the...

Also there are so many obvious responses in the comments about Lebanon and Egypt, and I don't want to suggest Turkey is a haven of religious tolerance, but wtf, the Pope just visited and I guess Yakoby is just used to speaking to a brain dead audience

Birthright citizenship is like one of the only unequivocally modern elements of the American constitutional order and should be protected at, literally, all costs.

People call Trump ‘Hitler’ but it’s so juvenile.
Trump is a conservative demagogue who rose to power scapegoating immigrants for societal ills backed by the rich and taking over a political party due to cowardice and short term expedience.
Clearly, as Aaron knows, he’s far more like Mao Zedong.

Christian, yes; Baptist, no! This is why it's good for all of us to keep learning shit about the world because well crap, now I'm a little smarter today
To my mutuals: Did you know there's a state in Northern India that's majority Baptist?
a lot of them seemed to think being born Indian meant you were automatically Hindu?

Meanwhile, China, which actually values education and science, will run away with the future. I don't think it's a good thing, but it's better than what's infecting the US running away with it in its stead.

The "men's crisis" gang never gets around to asking "are there *other* groups that have gaps in educational and health outcomes?"
This is why I'm agnostic about a crisis of masculinity specifically when really, the US at least is just a monstrously unequal patchwork system
We must fix *that*

Nor would I leap from stuff about boys not doing well at school to a 'crisis' of masculinity as if the latter is an explanation.
As a sociologist, the discourse is interesting but the terms and the discussion? Hopelessly confused and muddled.

Men are both healthier, more involved in the raising of children, and more help seeking than they have ever been
*and* they are more likely to kill themselves, kill their partners, kill strangers, commit violent crime, and avoid asking for help
