Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

Several contradictory things are simultaneously true: 1. Maduro was an oppressive, unpopular and illegitimate ruler, disastrous for his country and the region. 2. Using the US to remove him may have been equally illegitimate. 3. Venezuela would be better off with a new government under the opposition's Edmundo Gonzalez (who probably won the presidential election but is now exiled). 4. It's not clear that Maduro will be replaced by Gonzalez. Maduro's VP is still apparently in power, as are other regime figures and the Cubans who back them. 5. As we've seen in Iraq and Libya, it can be easier to topple a leader than to establish a new government; sometimes you get a worse leader, or Somalia-style chaos.

The United States is bombing Venezuela while the people are asleep! Venezuela produces less than 1% of the world’s illegal drugs. But they do have the world’s largest proven oil reserve. Still think this is really about stopping the cartels?

Venezuela’s Maduro is a corrupt, vicious dictator repressing democratic opposition . But the US unilaterally capturing a foreign leader not at war breaches every canon of intl law. Justifies Putin in Ukraine/Xi in Taiwan. Might is right. Who next on what pretext? A dark moment.

Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — and that’s no coincidence. This is naked U.S. imperialism: an illegal assault on Caracas aimed at overthrowing a sovereign government and plundering its resources. Starmer’s Labour government must condemn this unequivocally. Solidarity with the Venezuelan people 🇻🇪

Archaeo - Histories@archeohistories·
The futuristic world as envisioned in 1930... This image comes from a collector’s album issued by the German margarine company Echte Wagner in 1930. Customers collected cards, each depicting whimsical visions of the future. Here, people wear headsets while enjoying meals, using “wireless private phone and television.” The description on the verso explained that each person had a personal transmitter and receiver, allowing them to see and speak with friends in real-time. The devices were imagined as portable, “the size of a photo apparatus.” Though fanciful in design, the vision predicted a technology we now take for granted: smartphones and video calls. In 1930, the idea that one could carry a device capable of both sound and image seemed miraculous. The albums were meant to sell margarine, not technology, but they ended up preserving some of the most striking futurist art of the interwar years. #archaeohistories

@MattPasche1 @adilondoner @Adam02144644 No tips - I regularly check and refresh the page throughout the day, which was a tip @Adam02144644 gave me a few years ago. Keep refreshing throughout the day. Don’t know if this helped, but I was on my phone when I bought them. Tickets do become available at very random times!

The Tennis Letter
The Tennis Letter@TheTennisLetter·
Novak Djokovic on Nick Kyrgios’ statements about Jannik Sinner’s case: “We live in a world where everyone has the right to express themselves, especially on social media. Nick has spoken a lot about the whole Jannik doping case, and he's right about the transparency and the inconsistency of the protocols and the comparisons between the various cases. We have seen many players in the past, and also currently, who have been suspended for not even having undergone anti-doping tests and for not having communicated their whereabouts, and some lower-ranked players who have been waiting for their cases to be resolved for more than a year.” “I don't question whether the prohibited substance was taken intentionally or not. I believe in clean sport, I believe that the player will do everything possible to play fair. I’ve known Jannik since he was very young, so he doesn’t seem like the type of person who would do something like that, but I felt really frustrated, like most other players, to see that we were kept in the dark for five months after he received that news. It’s not a good image for our sport.” Source: livetennis.it/post/428505/no…

Just saw Robert Eggers' Nosferatu. As a historian, more than any other director, I trust Eggers to capture the "vibes" of a historical setting, even a fantasy one like this. From the standpoint of capturing the 1830s in Germany, this film is great. 🧵 1/25
