“No loitering in the park” is a concept that only makes sense in America and a surveillance machine accidentally telling it to a military force is just the icing on the cake.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

a lot of discussion about how "cosmopolitan" urban dwellers are, but a really underdiscussed trend is the homogenization of culture across *rural* areas of the USA - replacement of once-distinct regional cultures with generic "redneck" accent and culture, regional religions with evanglicalism etc

As a French person who has normal French thoughts about the USA (fuck ICE by the way) this is exhausting. These awful French skaters don't deserve gold because they weren't all that good ON ice, which has nothing to do with how ugly they are off it.

If you think I am in ANY WAY exaggerating about women thinking they're expendable because of the paucity of men: people in skating who have talked openly about their abuse have spoken about this. About being openly told that they have to take whatever happens because they're the expendable party.
