@Dr_ChristopherM @oldak Yeah who would think of having a profile published in Vogue during a war, that's just completely inappropriate... oh, wait, what's that?

How Vogue fought World War Two

A new book celebrates the war photography of Lee Miller. Hilary Roberts reveals how her pieces for Vogue were part of Britain’s propaganda effort.

@GoodwinMJ You cite Sebastian Milbank on how "nationalism is primarily a youth movement," but his evidence is almost all wrong. Populist right wing parties are not in power in Bulgaria, and the ones that are in power in Poland, Hungary and Italy do worst among young voters.

Verkiezingskaart: wie was de grootste partij *op links* in de provinciale verkiezingen? #PS2023 De tegenstelling tussen stad en platteland en "het Westen" en "de regio" die centraal stond in de hele uitslag zien we (niet heel verrassend) ook terug binnen het linkse kamp:

@jpodhoretz @meganmurp @conncarroll OK. So if it wasn't bad faith that made you pretend like the argument was about him having thrown ice once at someone as a young guy -- rather than about whether he spoke the truth when he was questioned under oath -- was it just obliviousness?

The map of this year's AfD results; pretty complete by now. Not a lot of nuance on East/West divide this time. #btw2017 @CasMudde @BDStanley

@justincbzz @_anyder @dieworkwear Yes, sweatshop labour generally involves people whose circumstances are so dire they'll willingly take up even a job that harshly exploits them. That doesn't mean it's not sweatshop labour.

Dutch centre-left looking pretty good in the exit poll; incoming government parties at just 14/31 seats. Why? Turnout plays a major role Imagine a line between CDA and NSC. All the parties to its right (except SGP) lost more to abstention than any party to its left (except SP).

@NoamKissinger @JoePostingg Tweeting something you read in the news is not "breaking" the news. And if you're not the one breaking the news, don't pretend like you are

Horrifying: How thousands of Inuit girls and women in Greenland, as young as 12, had contraceptive coils implanted without being told, often causing unbearable pain. Brings to mind the systematic sterilization of Romani women in Czechoslovakia and Sweden.

‘Doctors fitted a contraceptive coil without my consent’

A Danish investigation will look at a historic scandal in Greenland, but women tell the BBC of recent involuntary contraception.

@matrixmarxist @HowieHawkins So does he; the imperialists wreaking havoc in this war are Russian, and he supports the resistance against the imperialist invasion. "Imperialist" is not short for "American"; other imperialisms must be opposed as well.
