I'm a German-adjacent historian, but this is one of my favorites on the rise of Nazism. V. accessable for the non-specialists. See esp. Chapt. 5: "Making Germany Great Again." Please feel free to post your recommendations.

Every regulation is written in the blood of a worker, or someone damaged by industrial pollution, or a kid who didn’t get to grow up.

This widely shared image of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu, which has also been shared by some major news sources, is AI-generated and fake. Among the sings of AI generation are distorted faces in the background, deformed fingers, and Trump's and Netanyahu's merging arms.

"If allowing Ukraine to join NATO is being protracted again and again, what will be defending us? Will we be given nuclear weapons? Will they give us missiles in quantities so we can stop Russia? What else can stop Russia. Give us back nuclear arms," Zelensky said speaking to Piers Morgan.

The State Department has fired about 60 contractors who work for its democracy, human rights, and labor bureau — a division whose programs have often been criticized by authoritarian leaders. The dismissals deal a severe blow to the bureau. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

If the Russians make a habit of arresting and torturing random Central Asian migrant workers into confessing to crimes every time something goes wrong, then I won't be surprised if those Central Asian migrant Labourers they so heavily rely on start to leave.

This is very emotional. The brother of Tamaz Ginturi, a Georgian patriot tortured by Russian occupiers last year, is giving out apples to protesters. The apples are likely from his garden in their village. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

We live in a post-truth world where the richest man on Earth also leads the most powerful country while acting as a major state contractor. We have allowed this dangerous Bond villain to gain far too much power. He will now try to decide for Europe too - Joni Askola, x

John Mearsheimer, often called "controversial," is legitimizing a Russian neo-Nazi who called Ukrainians "a race of degenerates from sewer manholes" and literally repeatedly called for genocide, facing charges for genocide in Ukraine. This isn’t "controversy"—it’s complicity.

Everyone has known for a long time that russian railroads were one of russia's great weaknesses. That they rely too much on them. The fact that Ukrainians are blowing them up in large numbers now makes me suspicious, that Biden/Sullivan may have told them not to do it.

There's a whole field of study in academia about how students learn. They are actual experts in learning & teaching. They peer-reviewed research, they work on understanding retention rates and "learning" vs "memorizing." It's weird how they aren't consulted in the making of Apps To Replace Your TAs.

I'm wondering... This is now the official flag of Syria. A country can't just ban another country's flag right? I'm asking because maybe we may see that flag appear in places like Belarus.

If Netanyahu and the Likudniks persist with this aggressive posturing toward Syria, the military incursions, and even open talk about dividing the country up and balkanising it, I believe it will backfire massively against them. They will only rally Syrians together.

The legitimate President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili has once again arrived at Rustaveli where special forces were ensuring the Christmas tree is lit up. But Tbilisi Mayor Kaladze backed off last minute and decided to call off the "celebration." #TerrorInGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

New footage of North Korean soldiers attacking in Kursk is really grim. It's like footage from the first world war. A long line of North Korean soldiers charging at a Ukrainian position.

The attack on European soil by the Communist nation of North Korea is ongoing against the Northern part of the Sudzha salient.

This is shaping up to be a bloodbath, the North Korean soldiers are somehow even more disorganised than the Russian soldiers. Just, running through the snow, in summer uniforms, within sight of Ukrainians, into Ukrainian machine gun and mortar fire.
