Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

Nas escolas a gente só aprende sobre Nuremberg por pura propaganda eurocentrista. Os experimentos e massacres japoneses foram muito mais cruéis que os nazistas, e ainda tiveram uma amplitude territorial muito mais vasta. Um dos absolvidos posteriormente virou primeiro ministro (avô do Shinzo Abe).

O lance dos "tribunais dos vitoriosos" é sinistro porque eles também decidem quem não vão se sentar no banco dos réus. Basta ver o que aconteceu no Japão, onde os EUA pouparam uma penca de criminoso ao darem anistia em troca de informações sobre a Unidade 731 e seus experimentos biológicos.

Hitler's NSDAP never gained the support of more than one-third of voters in free and fair elections!

Just like far-right leaders today, Hitler came to power because of the collaboration of right-wing elites, who either wanted to "fight off the left" or thought they could play the far right.

O comentário sobre o Demétrio e o champagne foi sensacional, fazia tempo que não ria tanto!

How well do citizens perceive where parties stand? 🤔

One in four ballots cast from overseas in Japan's general election arrived too late to be counted.

"Aqui entram: os partidos PL, PP, União Brasil, Republicanos, MDB e PSB"

Pensei ter sido erro de digitação ali, PSB ao invés de PSD (afinal faria mais sentido). Fui conferir as assinaturas do requerimento e não é que foi o PSB mesmo? E a bancada só tem 16 cadeiras, nem precisava passar vexame...

Maybe in 10 years from now we'll see the U5 finished and running

In fairness, we did have a president vomit on a Japanese prime minister's lap.

Aquele dado de 10% da população nos EUA acima dos SEIS ANOS usarem antidepressivos me deixou embasbacado. Que sociedade desgovernada...

Delighted to see our collaboration out in doi print 🎉 In this paper, we qualitatively and quantitatively analyse the concept of 'electoral personalism' through the case of Milei in Argentina and identify 3 key elements: self-promotion, ideological rhetoric and moral appeals.

The kind of question that provokes an identity crisis among Austrian scholars 😬

This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.

Funny because in US terms, a "radical liberal" (lol) is just someone who wants to take 2 seconds (or whatever how time is measured in the US) of oxygen after a 74-hour shift

"Cooptado", o cara foi basicamente sequestrado pela pastora...

De toda forma, mais um excelente episódio!

During the Brazilian Carnival, the São Paulo police dressed up as the Scooby Doo gang to arrest criminals.

They also dressed up as Minions

Obrigado @radioescafandro.bsky.social e @tomaschiaverini.bsky.social por mais um episódio desgraçado. O episódio não é ruim; pelo contrário, é excelente. Desgraçado porque mostra que nada no Brasil escapa dos interesses mafiosos de certas castas.

Mas obrigado por me fazer odiar ainda mais o Moro.

Noda/Saito co-led the new bloc for 3 weeks. Komeito's previous-previous chair, Keiichi Ishii, resigned one month or so after being appointed and then losing the elections. Come on.

New Japan opposition force heads to resign over 'historic' election loss - The Mainichi TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Yoshihiko Noda and Tetsuo Saito, co-leaders of the main opposition Centrist Reform Alliance, said Monday they will resign to take res

Japanese ojisan need to urgently stop with this whole culture of "resign to take responsibility". Did you face a major loss? Then put your s**t together, reorganize, plan accordingly, and prepare better for the next time. You don't take responsibility by throwing a bomb on your successor's hands.

Sanseito probably didn't win a lot because the LDP stretched the cord to the other side. But political science shows that those who normalize the far right imaginary end up being eaten by fascism

Well, 26 years of a whole machinery going against their party (especially after the time DPJ governed), and all of the sudden they are together? I think that also mattered a lot

I mean, she also brought Hagiuda back to life, and he just won in Hachioji (Tokyo 24), a Soka Gakkai stronghold, despite the fact that he was caught involved with corruption and was one of the main reasons (allegedly) why Komeito left the coalition

‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university? When Essex University’s Southend campus opened, it was a message of hope for a ‘left behind’ UK seaside town. Its closure will be felt far beyond its 800 students, some of whom will not get their degr...

Heartbreaking to see how the UK is destroying its excellent higher education system.
