If Denmark was like Russia, the Danes would now be invading, England, Germany, Sweden, and Norway, because these countries were part of the Kingdom of Denmark during the viking ages.

But fortunately, our thinking has evolved since the year 1013, when the violent king Sweyn Forkbeard ruled and raided.

I keep getting caught up in the USA of it all, but it's important to remember that our side of the pond is also in trouble. Nonsensical toxic anti-immigration rhetoric is becoming mainstream in Ireland, and the far-right is gaining strong footholds all across Europe. Stay vigilant #Europe #Politics

10-year average of yearly profits prior to 2022: $18.9B
2022 profits: $55.7B

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory.

It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.

Not that complicated.

@vyr Also if you use a Mac released this decade or an iPhone/iPad/Android device—basically anything except an old-school PC—you're using an ARM processor and that architecture was designed by Sophie Wilson, who is trans. It's the most widely used computer architecture. Computing this century is trans.

Back in the day, we didn’t have your fancy Altoids tins. If we wanted to pretend that no one knew we were hiding drugs, we had to hollow out a Bible.

The six feet rule was always bullshit with an airborne virus but it is not completely lacking in value. There are people who I still will not get within six feet of.
