This also includes countries under actually practiced communism. First thing, or rather person, that comes to mind is of course Trofim Lysenko, and the effect gaining the endorsement of the Soviet Union had on his colleagues:
From the Wikipedia page on Lysenkoism: More than 3,000 mainstream biologists were dismissed or imprisoned, and numerous scientists were executed in the Soviet campaign to suppress scientific opponents. The president of the Soviet Agriculture Academy, Nikolai Vavilov, who had been Lysenko's mentor, but later denounced him, was sent to prison and died there, while Soviet genetics research was effectively destroyed. Research and teaching in the fields of neurophysiology, cell biology, and many other biological disciplines were harmed or banned.

To be reduced to these pathetic displays of life, the lifeblood having been sucked dry to support a lengthening number of fucking vampires.

"Statue/bust pfp"
The National Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace (ie EDSA Shrine), built to commemorate the first People Power Revolution (which overthrew the elder Ferdinand Marcos in 1986), and was the main gathering point for both the first and second People Power revolutions (the second of which overthrew Joseph "Erap" Estrada in 2001). Taking a photo from this angle removes all the decades of urban buildup that have surrounded the site of the shrine since then. Google it and weep.

He didn't get himself invited to memorials like this in the last few years of his lone term because of this kinda shit, Pence got all the invitations

Also, when his dad died, he got to speak, and...
From a Politico article by Gwenda Blair, published September 1 2018: At an earlier wake for his father, Trump had recalled his father as “wonderful,” “the best,” “a fine man” who “gave us all a good start,” according to the New York Post. But when it came time to eulogize his father at the funeral, the focus shifted noticeably. He began by saying it was the toughest day of his own life. It was ironic, he said, that he’d learned of his father’s death right after reading a front-page story in the New York Times about the success of one of his own developments, Trump Place. He then enumerated all his other projects and said his father supported each one, and he finished by noting that on everything he’d ever done, Fred had known he would be able to pull it off.

@captainacab.airbud.website: A circle of ten candles, each representing billions of people, surrounding "it". That's right, even the dead clamor for it. Want it. Are desperate for it. Will only be avenged by it.

Republicans really embracing misogyny in general is sending me across time --
An r/conservative post by u/triggernaut with the New York Post article titled "Pete Hegseth demands troops meet 'male-level' physical standards, rails against 'fat troops' in military". u/triggernaut: "If women -- and 'weak men' -- don't meet those standards, 'so be it', Hegseth said in remarks at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia." Dang. Frankly he's right. It should be this way with cops and firemen too. u/cliffotn: When this all started they told us standards would remain unchanged, women would of course have to meet the job requirements. It was pretty quick and then the standards became bendy, as the higher ups wanted more-more-more, so they quietly helped women make it by assisting or just letting failures slide. And over the last few years they just plain lowered the standards outright. Which sucks for women who CAN do a job, because folks assume they made it for the wrong reasons.

W. B. Yeats, a Life: II. The Arch-Poet, by R. F. Foster, second and last of a series (with the first, W. B. Yeats, a Life: I. The Apprentice Mage, I used to own) published by the Oxford University Press in 2003. The central portrait is the Image of W. B. Yeats (oil on canvas, 1970) by Louis de Brocquy (1916-2012). The background is taken from a binding design for the cover of Yeats' poem collection The Wind in the Reeds (published by Elkin Mathews Ltd in 1899) by Althea Gyles (1867-1949).

Tecumseh: A Life, by John Sugden. "A John Macrae/Owl Book". First softcover edition published by Owl Books, presumably a subsidiary of Henry Holt and Company, in turn a subsidiary of Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, in 1997. Really badly degraded softcover shows part of the sculpture The Dying Tecumseh (finished 1856, marble and copper alloy) by Ferdinand Pettrich (1798-1872), first displayed in the Capitol from 1856-1916 and then transferred to the care of the Smithsonian from 1916 to the present; here it is shown in sepia, from part of the upper torso upwards.

I wonder if Jon Ronson is here?
Them: Adventures with Extremists, by Jon Ronson. Second edition published in 2002 by Picador, "an imprint of Pan McMillan Ltd". (Is there really a secret room from which a tiny elite rules the world, and if so, can it be found? Them: Adventures with Extremists is a romp into the heart of darkness involving twelve-foot lizard men, PR-savvy Ku Klux Klansmen, Ian Paisley, Hollywood limousines, kidnapped sex slaves, David Icke, and Nicolae Ceausescu's shoes. While Jon Ronson attempts to locate the secret room, he is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew at a jihad training camp, and witnesses CEOs and leading politicians undertake a bizarre owl ritual in the forests of northern California. He also learns some alarming things about the looking-glass world of them and us. Are the extremists right? Or has he become one of Them?)

Beethoven, by Maynard Solomon. Published by Schirmer Books in 1977, "an Imprint of Simon & Schuster McMillan" (I confess I don't know what an "imprint" means in this context; Wikipedia does say that MacMillan did sell off all but the reference division of G. Schirmer to what would become Wise Music Group in 1986). An 1818 portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven, itself part of a double portrait of the composer and his nephew Karl, by Carl Friedrich August von Kloeber (1793-1864) dominates the softcover.

I do have some that remain with me.
The Kissinger Transcripts: the Top-Secret Talks with Beijing & Moscow. A National Security Archive book, published by The New Press and edited by William Burr. (Bought it for P75.00 off of Booksale, a leading seller of secondhand books in my part of the country.) Kissinger's grayscale dead mug, with perched glasses and business suit, occupy the center of the softcover, his thinning hair covering part of the "KISSI" in "Kissinger".

As there are so few Filipinos on Bluesky, by all means feel free to sound off on how benevolent China has been to its neighbors, @nerdjpg.com
@nerdjpg.com: No offense but I feel like if China really wanted to be an imperialist hegemonic power like Britain or the United States they could have already started doing kt. And probably worse and more effectively, if that was their goal or motive

For future reference, if Laura gets a clue and deletes the tweet:
@LauraLoomer: I don’t ever want to hear @charliekirk11 claim he is pro-Trump ever again. After this weekend, I’d say he has revealed himself as political opportunist and I have had a front row seat to witness the mental gymnastics these last 10 years. Lately, Charlie has decided to behave like a charlatan, claiming to be pro-Trump one day while he stabs Trump in the back the next. TPUSA was only able to thrive thanks to the generosity of President Trump. On the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, Charlie hosted @ComicDaveSmith at @TPUSA’s SAS conference where Dave Smith was able to speak to a bunch of conservative youth at an organization that claims to be Pro-Trump. 3 weeks ago, Dave Smith called for President Trump to be IMPEACHED and REMOVED from office over his decision to blow up Iran’s nuclear facilities. Charlie played both sides of the Iran issue on his show as we all saw, because he wants to play to both sides of the aisle. The honorable thing to do is to have a position and actually defend it to the death instead of flip flopping. Smith said all of MAGA “should turn on Trump” and abandon him. He said this 3 weeks ago. See the clip below. 👇🏻 TPUSA is definitely not pro-Trump. If they were, they certainly aren’t anymore. Out of all of the incredible pro-Trump voices out there who support the President, Charlie decided to host Dave Smith? It really is shameful. And I am honestly just disgusted by the nonstop flip flopping on the right.
