@toomuchistrue Funnily enough, there's an Iranian movie about this exact thing (it's not very good despite its amazing premise unfortunately...)

guy i know went to a Son of Saul screening where nemes did a q&a afterwards and told everyone (after checking it wasn't being recorded) that they used homeless people as extras for the nightmarish gas chamber scenes bc they could get away with paying them one american dollar each

@diaspora_red Bryan Johnson, the immortality guy, actually does have an asian-american accent somehow
...which also makes complete sense
English
To settle the debate on whether or not there is an Asian American accent, just try and imagine that kind of voice coming out of the mouth of a white person

Also happens to anyone who knows Chinese!
Completely memory-holed it but Canada's intelligence agency straight up emailed me and a few friends asking for us to apply. Then, I foolishly but virtuously gave up perhaps my only chance at stable employment

If you’re a millennial muslim you would’ve either been approached or know at least 5-10 people who have been. It usually starts from final year of university.

One minute you're a boring developmental economist cheekily pulling into another faculty's parking space, the next you're one of world-systems theory's gang of four calling for the downfall of imperialist relations of dependency

It used to be that we daydreamed about alternate worlds that were radically different. Now our utopias are the same as the waking world but non-white people get to wear slop-fits based on what civilization Samuel Huntington thought you belonged to

I hate this: to replace the horrifying but beautiful imagery of the 1968 Olympics, the plazas and streets Buñuel shot in, and the sick-ass Communist commune in Iztapalapa with this flat, AI-generated ethnostate fantasy is just the hanfu-ization of Mexico

A vision of a modern Tenochtitlan in 2026, in a timeline where the Aztec Empire repelled Spanish conquest and modernized on its own terms. Enjoy:

Not to say that America isn't responsible for this all, indirectly. But are people forgetting that the draining of the Iraqi marshes was Saddam's pet project?

America leaves early 2026, the land is suddenly revitalized with life and growth. I'm crying laughing, if you put this in a story you'd get beaten for being too blatant & on the nose 😭😭😭

Why have almost none of the main texts of value critique literature been translated from German? Can someone pls get onto this asap

The source for this is the factory's owner

China’s factory model is changing as more workers reject the old model of 12-hour shifts and factory-owned time. In factories back in their hometown, these workers are now going home mid-shift to cook lunch for their kids.

Guess we're doing the Turkey-Israel thing where leaders launch meaningless invectives against the other without changing how our militaries are basically joined at the hip

PM Carney says the days of sending 70 cents of every dollar in military spending to the United States are over and gets a standing ovation

Long COVID probably plays a role, but the primary cause is obviously the dopamine machine attached to our hips engineered to keep us waiting and thinking as little as possible

The wartime profiteering and insider trading we've seen in the past month have involved single trades 10x that amount
English
In Liu Binyan's 1979 expose of perhaps the biggest corruption scandal in Cultural Revolution-era China, the defendants embezzled roughly 900 times the annual wage of a Chinese worker
Assuming the average wage is $70k, an equivalent American scandal would involve $63 million...

Does anyone have an explanation for these articles that read as AI-generated from "prestigious" writers/outlets?
Are they false positives (this one gets 100% on GPT zero), have we just internalized AI-writing, or do newsrooms literally not care anymore?

@Is_Not_Brian I read it and while the article's claims range from plausible to very likely, 90% of the sources are "an unnamed Israeli intelligence officer." So yeah everyone's better off not reading it

Not defending Assad here but you will never catch me reading or believing what a magazine run by an IDF prison guard has to say about its enemies & you shouldn't either.

As his regime crumbled, Bashar al-Assad was obsessed with sex and video games, and he refused every lifeline he was offered. Palace insiders told @robertfworth that Assad could have saved his regime if he hadn’t been so stubborn and vain. theatlantic.com/international/…

I really like Marc Ribould's photos of 1950s China. Without overemphasizing the similarities between the KMT and CCP (a fashionable lens in the past few decades), the street-level legacies of the Republican era are unavoidable
