Mario Kart World not being nominated for the best OST at the game awards is, in my opinion, one of the biggest snubs in the history of the game awards.

VVD:
Een keffiyeh = antisemitisme.
Een 🍉 = antisemitisme.
‘From the river to the sea’ = antisemitisme.
‘Free Palestine’ = antisemitisme.
Een Hitlergroet?
Ook VVD: ‘Laten we niet te snel iedereen een neonazi noemen.’

I've been reading Cheon Myeon-Kwan's "Whale" and while it is interesting it is hard to ignore the blatant misogyny.

Despite the prominent role played by women in pro-democracy demonstrations in South Korea, there are barely any women in positions of political power, writes Hawon Jung. Published in collaboration with @fullerproject.org.

Better late than never but I finally deleted my facebook and twitter accounts. I am also considering getting rid of whatsapp and instagram but this makes staying in contact with a lot of people quite difficult

It’s utterly baffling to see the American press, democratic party, civil society and the American public just rollover like this

Yoon declared the martial law on December 3rd. 55 days later, he is indicted.
Those 55 days felt like 55 years. But considering that it was carried out without anyone dying, it’s not too late after all.

Turns out that last year I frequently ate frozen blueberries that now turned out to have been contaminated by Hepatitis A(!) I haven't had them in months so I think I am out of danger plus I am pretty sure I got a Hepatitis A vaccination when I went to Korea in 2020.

Toen de rijke elite zag dat er winst te behalen viel in diversiteit en duurzaamheid, gingen ze daar massaal in investeren. Nu conservatief gedachtegoed lucratiever wordt, gaat het geld die kant op. Het ging nooit om sociale ontwikkelingen of ethische verantwoordelijkheid, altijd alleen maar om geld.

Its grossly irresponsible for historians to sanctify Jimmy Carter bc of his "decency" and laudable post-Presidency. As the "human rights" President, he led a globe-straddling military empire allied to or supporting military dictatorships and authoritarian regimes around the world.
My proudest moment and best work of 2024. "Records show how America stood back and watched as Gwangju was martyred for Korean democracy." #SouthKorea english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...
Records show how America stood back and watched as Gwangju was martyred for Korean democracy
US intelligence records obtained by an American journalist — and now out in Korean translation — show how meticulously the US watched as a junta massacred those protesting for democracy
