China has an irrational fear of a "black invasion" bringing drugs, crime and interracial marriage — Quartz

China has an irrational fear of a "black invasion" bringing drugs, crime and interracial marriage — Quartz
“Black brothers often travel in droves; they are out at night out on the streets, nightclubs, and remote areas. They engage in drug trafficking, harassment of women, and fighting, which seriously disturbs law and order in Guangzhou… Africans have a high rate of AIDS and the Ebola virus that can be transmitted via body fluids… If their population [keeps growing], China will change from a nation-state to an immigration country, from a yellow country to a black-and-yellow country.”
On social media, the Chinese response has been overwhelmingly supportive, with many commenters echoing Pan’s fears.

the melenchon campaign released a game where you beat up french government officials like christine lagarde and nicholas sarkozy and take their money to fund social programs

also it turns out that one of the campaign slogans of melenchon is “can’t stenchon the melenchon” which is supposed to be a parody of “can’t stump the trump

On June 6, 1860, the New York Times devoted a giant wall of text on the second page of the paper (yes, all of the text you see above) to the statement of one Isaac Burch filing divorce from his wife, Mary Burch, due to alleged adultery with one David Stuart (and others), and Mary’s counter-statement endeavoring to clear her name.

It includes detailed descriptions of Isaac’s financial, emotional, and physical abuse of Mary, including direct quotes (“shut up and stop your crying”), full scenes of dialogue with descriptions of where they were sitting or standing relative to each other, Mary’s claim that Isaac coerced a written confession from her by threatening to throw her out of the house penniless without her kids, and Mary’s attempt at benign explanations of four or five fishy incidents like the time a family friend came to call and caught a glimpse of David’s hat and scarf in the foyer.

My theory: Mary was definitely cheating, but with a husband like Isaac, who wouldn’t?

Anyway, thank fuck the New York Times no longer considers the divorce proceedings of well-to-do abusive bankers to be matters of public record.

gosh Tumblr receipts drama is weak sauce by comparison

Ke$ha’s pretty good at enunciating to the beat. Maybe that Swedish training.

Shame she bit the hand that feeds, the entertainment industry has a lock on the California judiciary (if only by virtue of bothering to know what all the various appointment procedures are to ensure their favoreds are always advancing on the cursus honorum) and even in the current year the FUUUCK they were gonna let people break recording contracts by crying rape (culture)

you ever hear of Amaani Lyle, a writers’ assistant on Friends (like an intern, but still paid in the ‘90s), tried to sue some “hostile environment” schtick, and Hollywood one and all took sides against her, sure they were making hella rape jokes about characters who were kinda their coworkers, jokes against their coworkers directly (a running one about Courtney Cox having a vagina full of dried up twigs), but BE COOL and also creative necessity, the First Amendment, the writers of Gilmore Girls were writing amicus curiae briefs

(it was the 90s tho)

Lyle lost and got blackballed cuz obv. and I think maybe joined the Air Force? Which was a more typical course for a young black striver

You need seriousness. What's your take on Trump's missile strike on Syria?

Anonymous asked: You need seriousness. What's your take on Trump's missile strike on Syria?

kontextmaschine:

I think its meaning will be defined in retrospect by what follows. I think a return to Clinton-style “send a message” gunboat diplomacy wouldn’t be the worst.

I think it might be a fighting retreat, that we’ll accept Assad in power but that doesn’t mean we’re accepting Syria as inviolable Russian sphere of influence. Their anti-air denies the US control of the air (and thus ground - America hasn’t fought without air superiority since early Korea) but stopping the Tomahawks would require naval superiority in the Eastern Mediterranean, which would be trivial to rally NATO against.

If anything I’d think the Russians have more chance to apply counterpressure in the Baltics, where NATO couldn’t defend on the ground as is but preemptively stationing an army would be a drain and a provocation.

Honestly I think it might be the equivalent of one of those EUIV missions where it’s like “gain 30 administrative power by indulging a domestic faction and diplomatically aggravating a rival power”. Which is another straw on the camel’s back, but also 30 free administrative power that God knows you could use.
