@fullgas_987 os Law&Orders dessa época são maravilhosos por conta disso

Foi o ano mais violento da história de NY, mas a cidade farmava mt aura pqp

It’s 1991 in New York City ♥️

There is no greater soft-power triumph in the history of modern Europe than the creation of this “dream Europe” in the imaginary of whole generations of Japanese since the Meiji era.

once asked a British friend who works as an English teacher, while showing them our staff, “If you go to Britain, are there still people like this there?” They immediately said, “No! Absolutely nowhere!” That was the moment my dream was destroyed. I remember thinking, “So this is probably how foreigners feel when they find out there aren’t actually ninjas in Japan.”

@ww_dasilva I love Quebec and their commitment to language dictatorship 🇨🇦
J’adore le Québec et son engagement envers la dictature linguistique 🇨🇦

it's fun seeing canadians painfully and forcibly countersignal jj on their giga-retarded forced bilingualism
J.J. McCullough@JJ_McCullough
Everything about official bilingualism in Canada is built on myth. People can’t “just learn” a language they don’t need. Canada isn’t “built on” two equally-sized language groups. Bilingualism isn’t “necessary” to function at an elite level. It’s all just Laurentian folklore.

@Tropicastalia Many of the people arrested engaging in the so-called “novo cangaço” were perfectly bourgeois. Within every small town orthodontist, every corner-desk notary public, lies a Genghis Khan…

Brutal que eu to bloqueado mas vou dar minha contribuição ao debate e dizer que ele tá parcialmente certo. Oruam é um péssimo exemplo pq ele é um playboy também… mas sem dúvida a vida do Marcinho VP ou Marcola é mais interessante que a do jovem burguês. Fukuyama fala sobre isso.

@momo__eigo オーストラリアの大都市には楽しめる場所がたくさんありますが、残念ながら多くはお金がかかり、大学生の予算では少し厳しいことが多いです。

・遊べるところが少なめ
日本のように、あちこちに居酒屋やカラオケがあるわけではない(場所によるけれど)。ディズニーやユニバーサルスタジオ等の日本で有名なテーマパークもなく、あるのは美しいビーチと広大な自然。ここをいかに楽しめるかがポイント。

If you google me, the image preview for amazon is a picture of... Yanis Varoufakis. You've got to me kidding me.

@tavaresleo68410 Well, one could argue that the IPES core of the 1964 conspiracy (centered around Golbery) pulled off exactly what Tsuge attempts to do in the movie.

@tom_m_b Nunca tinha pensado nessa relação de Patlabor 2 com 64 no sentido de "golpe militar sem a violência de um golpe militar", interessante

I first saw this on a VHS my dad brought back from Hong Kong. My grandfather; who lived through two coups in Brazil, as a young man in ’37 and later as a bureaucrat in ’64; was completely transfixed by Oshii’s depiction of a slow-motion coup d’état.

パトレイバー２再見。都心の風景に突如戦車や軍用レイバーが居座り所属不明の攻撃ヘリが飛び交いTVも緊急放送に切り替わる状況は今そこにある危機と不安を映してた。そして公開当時より情報化された社会に居ながら我々はかりそめの平和に盲従しわかっていても日常が覆される時までもはや想像が働かない

We can only be amazed if a left-of-center city executive implements something entirely new in the annals of world social democracy, guys
Alex Colston@enoughformethx
It’s basically fine that Mamdani wants to run a city government on the social efficiency model of Clement Attlee’s postwar Labour Party with its social democratic political programs. It’s not nothing, but it’s also not new. Important to not be amazed by a rather old standard.

Truly objective opinion needed. That means no fanboys.
I fixed a local's toaster and he was SO happy he gave me 5 seasons of Stargate Atlantis on DVD in trade.
Now, I hated the series Stargate. Like really really did bore me to tears.
The original movie I loved. It was great.
Is Stargate Atlantis worth putting into my DVD player to check out? Or should I save myself the tedium I sorta expect?

@tom_m_b It collapsed 10 years ago. Something else took it over and used its skin. Now let's see if it survives a ground war in Asia (if it starts one)

the franciscans in america: hey mista pope man, we got that village of pagans converted, all 20,000 of 'em, yup
the jesuits in china: after 20 years of careful dialogue, i've managed to convert 3 literati to the faith
the pope: did you do ancestor worship? EXCOMMUNICADO

Quando Top Gun saiu (86) foi uma febre, tinha fila nos cinemas aqui pra ver. A história em si é uma merda mas o filme é bem produzido, atores bonitos, trilha sonora maneira. Mas para aquela época. Hoje soaria cafona e forçado. Só que hoje não se faz mais nada com o mesmo impacto.
Macário de Azevedo@macario_azevedo
Tinha de tudo, havia coisas muito boas e coisas muito ruins. Mas muita coisa só fazia sentido naquela época. Se Janis Joplin ressuscitasse agora e se vestisse do mesmo jeito ia virar chacota.

No other elite in history made such steep, radical course corrections when faced with unforeseen circumstances as Japan’s ruling class did. And not just once, but twice: first when Perry forced open their ports, and again when the US dismantled the Empire.
燃えたいゴミ！！@gamu0514
America: the “go for it no matter what” type Japan: the “overthink it and let the chance slip away” type These total opposites teaming up and covering each other’s weaknesses? → strongest buddy combo ever!😁

Balzac, Dostoiévski e Fernando Pessoa eram política e moralmente reacionários (o que Machado não era) mas ninguém sério os defenestraria do panteão de grandes escritores.
Dionysio Itapyssuma@dionysio575
Ninguém é obrigado a gostar de um autor. Há quem ache Goethe inferior a Shakespeare ou Cervantes... Mas as posições políticas de um escritor não são índices sérios de qualidade ou limitação literária. O maior expoente do modernismo, Ezra Pound, morreu como fascista convicto.
