Embarrassment to our heritage and plague upon our nation

Man I hate Trump so much

The typos of nightmares

Americans: in my work I do xyz. During my free time, I do abc, which prepares me to advance further in my work in xyz.

Is this answer not absolutely insane? If I was applying for a job, I’d definitely say something like “my work is xyz. In my free time, I train to become a Pokémon master”

Man truly by the late 18th century every man with a pencil was writing hot takes telling the government what they were doing wrong

Disgusting that Mao is even in this list

the north rememberes

what did the meiji revolutionaries even think of shinto? my understanding was that the MR was a largely non-ideological revolution caused by ppl dissatisfied with the tokugawa order; but not too interested in the theology a la norinaga/atsutane idk

only perverts and heathens drink milk from cows ewww

Headache I’ve been having since the afternoon actually so annoying. I can’t read like this. Chronic pain is seriously not fun. Sigh

Looks like the poor VP is flying back to Pakistan lmao

Does the machine just dispense espresso martinis?

why are they asking for a diversity statement as /part of/ my research proposal...?

Stuff like this is why I read the economist

Meta casually hiring ex politicians for no reason whatsoever

Am I understanding this correctly that the EU is using physical meetups of groups of scholars who are expected to read and judge all of the grant proposals? How is this sustainable if it’s also the EU’s goal to create a competitive mega fund to attract the best scholars to Europe?

This would be a pretty good cultural studies paper you know on the ethics of stuffing animals of mass destruction in balls and having them kill each other for the amusement of their owners while having a rhetoric of friendship as a surface discourse and targeting it to 8 year olds

The Pokémon world is actually such a dystopia I wonder if anyone’s ever done a super cynical reading of the game that illustrates how we see ourselves as a society

You know if Pokémon were real it would be like having deadly weapons everywhere from the trash bins to the kitchen

It’s a bad pun on Sorai. I imagine having people ask “are you named after the philosopher???” And the kid going “no actually tumbleweed LOL (草)”

I also think it would be nice (assuming the kid’s male) to give him a name that reminds him to be humble, like grass and flowers. ギャップがかわいい……

It’s kind but I really don’t have the time to systematically study psychoanalysis right now 😭
I wanted to study it but it’s not well regarded in the west as a methodology so I’m biding my time until I get the PhD so I have more independence
I hope the study group is fun !!!

What if I name him 草莱
:((( I didn’t mean to insult your naming choices sorry!!!!

Are the boys still being named xxtaro or xxro? Will we see xxzaemon get a comeback?

I had a medieval Europe professor in college who named his son after a medieval monk whose name I can’t recall. Anselm? Sometimes I think of the dude. Maybe I’ll name my kid Sorai or something

There’s already a lot more diversity in East Asian names than western names, I just like how in premodern Japan names were often chosen by the individual and represented an entire persona… there’s typically no longer a locus classicus for a name anymore
