@ElokoMode It's the most basic observation of all time (women take better care of their looks) exaggerated into almost making the post sound closeted, posted entirely to farm rage points.

There’s a conversation happening on TikTok where the girls are finally talking about how a lot of men aren’t actually attractive. Like you go to the grocery store and see a ton of stunning women, but men? You will remember how many months back you last saw a hot man.

@men_teeth @levantophile They produce hundreds of these, along with of a steady stream of pseudoscience to firmly establish in the conscience of the Belgian public that Congolese people were subhuman. That novel is one of the least bad I've read and it still invents that the Luba kings were cannibals.

@ElokoMode @levantophile Did Belgians kill the Congolese because of that novel

I am struck, and pleasantly amused, by the flawless, highly ornate Arabic prose of this late 19th-century Cambridge Persianist, who was evidently an accomplished Arabist as well.
Incidentally, this is one reason I find Edward Said’s Orientalism overly dismissive and uncharitable toward Western scholars. Men like Browne devoted an extraordinary effort to mastering a difficult language and culture, and that kind of devotion is hard to see as anything other than a labor of love, especially when his Arabic is so poetic and refined. (I must admit, I am envious!)
Ironically, Arabists like Browne likely possessed a far more advanced command of Arabic than Said ever did.

I love this: the Cambridge Persianist Edward Granville Browne writing to Ignaz Goldziher in Arabic rhymed prose (sajʿ). Let’s bring this back among Arabist colleagues!

Against the odds, the denizens of Minecraft’s socialist Xeroist Republic of Zilatra have worked together to overcome a hostile player base and an in-game economy that rewards competition, exploitation, and greed: jacobin.com/2026/03/the-mi…

@RedGreenBC I once was told it was so common in the US that an uncle of mine used it as a "fuck you" to one of his colleagues and the guy showed up the next day at the office with a gun
English
@ElokoMode The unique USian predilection to sincerity unfortunately extends, for legal, cultural, and political reasons, to yelling "I'll fucking kill you" at someone over a minor or middling inconvenience, thus paradoxically making many interpersonal interactions uncannily insincere

People need to honk more. Americans are so sensitive about honking and take it personally. It's just a form of communication. I rely on the person behind me to honk at red lights so I know when to stop looking at my phone.

Ursula von der Leyen is more "trad" than any of these American larpers criticising Europe on X.

The Dutch created New York City. Yanks got it as a package deal with the lands we wanted to steal when we go bored of stealing land in Connecticut.

It fucks me up that the US created New York and then said never again

@SandraSim16 @molochofficial Not questioning that. I know I'm the only person on the planet who refused to read Harry Potter. I'm doubtful the Anglophilia of the early 2010s was because of the Bush years is what I'm saying
English
@ElokoMode @molochofficial As far as I'm aware Harry Potter was the only thing that reached global popularity, people in North Korea were reading HP but not watching Sherlock

"tumblr anglophilia" was just one of a hundred manifestations of the broad pushback in the late oughts against the "vulgar" pop culture of the Bush years (playboy-bunny reality tv bimbo aesthetic, 50 Cent, Ed Hardy, post-9/11 patriotism, Fergie, Los Angeles in general, etc)

Today feels like a double Eid/Bayram for me, my book is out!
Years of research, countless hours of writing and rewriting, and moments of doubt and persistence have now turned into printed pages.
If you are interested in the intersection of religion and politics, empire, belonging, and how states and subjects negotiated difference, I have a lot to say to you.
Very excited (and a little emotional) to see it out in the world.

@ainesanapulla @molochofficial There wasn't much of a backlash, you guys were hated worldwide from 2003 onwards except in like, Poland
English
@ElokoMode @molochofficial Maybe the backlash to Bush era America just was that widespread? UK is basically the second option for anglophone media. Maybe the rise of weeb stuff should also be understood in this context.
