  • US approves potential $500m sale of military equipment to Taiwan

  • Fossil methane
  • I wasn't convinced before I used them, but induction stoves perform almost on par with gas stoves while not burning my house down. It's a different game from electric stoves.

  • Latvia PM: Let EU countries with no colonial past lead diplomacy with BRICS+
  • There are a few obvious wrinkles in his plans. Poland, for example, is probably the most significant European country without a past as a colonial power in Africa, Asia or South America but politicians from around the world will not be blind to some of Warsaw’s latest pronouncements on migration. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki recently said he wants to hold a referendum asking citizens whether they support the arrival of “thousands of illegal migrants coming from the Middle East and Africa.”

    So which European country that isn't racist and doesn't have a colonial past?

  • Latvia PM: Let EU countries with no colonial past lead diplomacy with BRICS+
  • Historical sticklers could also note that Latvia had a brief past as a colonial power. The Duchy of Courland, an antecedent to Latvia, held territory on the island of Tobago in the Caribbean and on the Gambia River in West Africa in the mid-1600s.

  • Western doublespeak compilation
  • In practice, people from the global south who are working for only a few years in rich countries are never called expats.

  • Western doublespeak compilation

    We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening.

    e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer\ Regime vs Government

    Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.
