Era of the sycophants.

If @stephenking.bsky.social’s the Running Man was an immigration story.

This is Joseph Laroche, the only black passenger on the Titanic. He was traveling back to Haiti when the ship sank. A book was written about him and movie is in the works by Ivorian author Serge Bile.

Funny how the black person standing next to the new Pope (his name is Father Bouable, from Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa) is cut out of the scene.

I like that picture of Jimmy Carter and Olusegun Obasanjo.

International affairs are just a case of effective friend/foe branding.
