Dr Julie Chernov Hwang didn't respond to me on Bsky, but only responded to my post on LinkedIn. She claimed that my work had nothing to do with, quite forgetting she had reposted my exact article that discussed the Paragon Siam attack before (clear evidence of consumption).
Which is why it's even more heinous when white women from DC like Julie Chernov Hwang steals my analytical frameworks to preserve their precious regional invites—all built on appropriated labour and erasure of local experts like myself. And I'm not afraid to call it out.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Liberals constantly say they’ll vote for 99% Hitler as a “lesser evil” yet in a situation where Maduro is a “lesser evil” to the alternative they prefer the 100% Hitler option
"I'm no fan of Maduro but..." why do people in the US feel a need to preface things this way in 20-fucking-26

This isn't hard to understand but obviously only bad faith actors would twist it. And exceptionalist liberal white supremacists.
One of Mayor Mamdani's core political beliefs is that there's no contradiction between opposing antisemitism and supporting anti-Zionism.
That's why he repealed Adams' executive orders mandating the IHRA definition and banning BDS but he's keeping the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism.

1/ I hate to close 2025 on a dark note, but there's a worrying development. Indonesia's Densus 88 has uncovered and intervened with 68 children across 18 provinces exposed to Neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideologies through True Crime Community (TCC) networks in 2025.
After the 7 November attack at SMAN 72 in Jakarta, I analyse the rise of memetic violence in Southeast Asia: our youth replicating notorious Western attackers encountered through digital platforms.

In the days after last week's Minneapolis shooting, I've been continually haunted by the shooter's video and the nihilistic contagion that seems to spread in mass shooter fandom communities.

If Americans must insist on using Temu as a slur, then I propose we start describing awful cheap shit as Safeway. Not like Amazon doesn't sell bad shit too.

Looks like my latest @gnetresearch.bsky.social analysis is holding up. DENSUS 88 just raided another suspected PMVE case in West Java: a student with Neo-Nazi materials, bomb components, and ammunition guides. A concerning regional pattern continues to emerge.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
