History of badness question

I read that Ireland hasn't recovered in terms of population from the Potato Famine.

That got me thinking about the Jews and the Holocaust. I guess that's why I met a woman who had 12 children.

Then I thought about the Native Americans. There was a Indian Termination Policy of the USA government.

What's the smallest culture that was snuffed out the quickest?

The one type of person that gets heavily oppressed and murdered that can't get snuffed out, is the transgender people. I don't believe in god but if you do, you have to ask why god would create someone in the wrong sex body. Doesn't seem all good or all powerful to me. Every year they stand at City Hall in NYC and read all the names of transgender people who were murdered. Some guys who don't understand their attraction and feel betrayed, resort to murder to resolve their feelings.

Manet and Degas

Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special. In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them.

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...
