@Jeevacations @elkamrad One of the most common paternal haplogroups for Somalians is the same as Hitler’s (I have seen this used as an argument for Somali EU accession on here) E1b1b

@93vintagejones No this is blatant graft, you wouldn’t get away with stuff like that in Sicily but British public go ‘hehe planning process is long’ as they are robbed deliberately

Many people are saying what a chronic waste of money this is, but think how many surveyors, engineers and project managers were kept busy. The point of government infrastructure projects isn't to build things, but to provide a form of white-collar welfare.

@jlaresents David Bowie said Hitler was the first rockstar, they are all a project of TV/radio mass culture to some extent. Also, less so today but still sometimes awkward with Germans, 'Hitler' in English schoolboy imagination is sort of bizarre cult figure rather than serious politician

@tfromthemeadow i believe that’s why sometimes they would greet their audiences with it bc the size was so large that the only thing in recent history that was comparable was hitlers rallies
English
i wrote about this drawing, and some of the pics for my beatles class. it’s always so interesting to see that they were constantly making fun of ppl who fell for the regime but now you can’t even do that bc there are ppl out there who genuinely believe hitler was right

@tfromthemeadow "We're more popular than Hitler now" didn't have the same ring to it though

@feuilletonopfer Have you visited the Egyptian former cigarette factory guarded by giant cat statues in Camden

@philippilk @bigsexyklaus @Albrochier @dommyjonny11 @DAaronovitch Im not sure ‘you have Twitter’ is a very good twitter insult, even aside from Orbanism itself being a magnificent example of ressentiment (‘give me massive subsidies while I bitch about you, Europe!’)
English
@bigsexyklaus @tfromthemeadow @Albrochier @dommyjonny11 @DAaronovitch Klaus does not have an interesting job. Nor does he have a lucrative one. That is why he runs a ressentiment anon X account. A bitter human.

This man is subsidised by the Hungarian government and holds several 'fellowships' with government financed institutes
Philip Pilkington@philippilk
People outside of Hungary don’t get it. Tisza portray themselves as a centre-right party but their supporters are mostly leftist radicals or progressive liberals. These people have a very limited base of support in the Hungarian population. 🇭🇺🗳️

@cart0graf Given you tweet in English perhaps you could also adopt the Anglo tradition of pointing out very obvious ethnic component to this as opposed to rambling about the working class (how many of these are ouvrières)? I’d love to see your explanation for the Knafo blob in 19e too

🔻The LFI list led by Sophia Chikirou is strongest in both working-class neighborhoods—such as the social housing belt along the ring road, Goutte-d'Or, and Belleville— and mixed-income neighborhoods undergoing early-gentrification in the left-leaning eastern part of Paris.

Germans are strong contenders for the most adventurous tourists in the world right now. A few other smaller northern European countries might rank alongside them on a per capita basis.
They completely outnumber Britons in genuinely offbeat places like unrecognised republics, frozen conflict zones and places with varying degrees of ongoing insurgency, places deep in the mountains or jungle, or even just places which don't speak English and seem vaguely scary to the average moron, like China.

More evidence of the open war by Ellis island barbarians against civilisation. Nothing gay about it. There is something inherently erotic in the transmission of knowledge. Why, in the Renaissance…
Clash Report@clashreport
New York Post report claims US intelligence believes Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay, a claim that reportedly surprised Donald Trump, who “laughed aloud” during the briefing. Sources say Trump “couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud.” One official reportedly “has not stopped laughing about it for days.” Intelligence reportedly suggests Mojtaba had “a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.” The claim was “derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has.” One source said: “The fact that this was elevated to the highest of high levels shows there’s some confidence in this.”

@baylissbaghdad I suspect the argument that the literate class were all Bosniak and peasants were Croat/Serb probably has some truth to it. Although actual Serbia-Serbs can be weird too, they’re definitely worse in Bosnia
English
@baylissbaghdad Yes it’s odd how Croats got out of Balkan situation w very clean reputation. Serb minority in Sarajevo seems to fill niche of gypsies elsewhere running scams etc. Have vague plans to go to Banja Luka at some point but on personal interactions so far I definitely prefer Bosniaks

Crazy geography trivia that I had never seen before! These countries are NOT landlocked but still don't have access to international waters. Source: reddit.com/r/geography/co…

@baylissbaghdad Never to Bosnian Herzegovina only passed through. I like Sarajevo a lot though

@tfromthemeadow Neum is worth a visit though, if you like seafood and checkpoints.
English
@baylissbaghdad @simongerman600 This was same for Split-Dubrovnik pre bridge. I am pretty sure it’s possible to do Mostar Neum without leaving though but probably not the quickest way, or maybe new roads
English
@tfromthemeadow @simongerman600 I went there from Mostar a couple of years ago, and we had to stop and show passports at twice as we crossed into Croatia and then back into Bosnia. Added an hour on to what should have been a very easy journey journey.
English
@baylissbaghdad @simongerman600 I think there is single lane shitty mountain road access to Mostar. It’s entirely Croat too but the country wouldn’t have made sense (don’t) if landlocked, they could at least in theory spend vast sums building a port there. It was also very funny when you had to drive to Split
English
@tfromthemeadow @simongerman600 I don't quite understand the point of Neum, given that you have to cross through Croatian territory to access it by road from the rest of Bosnia.
