Having been subjected to the aggressively rude American culture, it’s always nice being in aggressively polite countries like Japan and UK 🥰 Having had some interesting conversations lately where people complain how being polite is “fake”, I must say I disagree wholeheartedly. Politeness is just having basic respect towards strangers. Fake is when you’re nice to someone’s face and actively talk bad behind their back. Politeness is being cultured, fake is shitty gossipy ppl to avoid.

The absurdity of it all - maybe it’s intentional that it’s framed as a joke. Some people would consider this so absurd that they think nothing of it. Some people are so brought in they start to treat it as accepted reality.

I prefer existential motivation over toxic positivity 😄 “We’re all gonna die so what you gonna do” is better than (and more accurate than) “it’s going to be ok” platitude 😄

Almost forgot how much I love tennis 🥰 Tennis is a sport that teaches you so many life things. For example: to be unafraid of hypothetically scary things - ie run to the net even when your opponent can very well whack you in the face. By being unafraid you could turn that moment of fear into a winner if you just face it head on. ❤️🎾✨ #tennisAppreciationPost

Now that Greek mythology and by extension Greek history is back on the map… can we talk about the Sacred Band of Thebes? Someone needs to make it into a movie, because I can’t think of anything that will destroy conservatives more than a historically accurate movie about how an army of gay lovers obliterated the toxic masculine Spartans 😛🤪 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Band_of_Thebes

You can run away from America but apparently you can’t run away from over the top rude Americans. Just got yelled at by some overweight old white american by saying “excuse me” in line at the V&A yesterday. Maybe I’m getting too used to British politeness standards? Or just I dunno common courtesy.

Called it. The moment they can list “leftist” as terrorists, they are now able to start picking off people that will oppose them in elections. Bye democracy. https://novaramedia.com/2026/07/22/us-creates-blacklist-of-prominent-leftwing-politicians-and-groups/

If they revert birthright citizenship, it’s theoretically possible they can remove the citizenship of any black american with ancestry from an enslaved ancestor by claiming said ancestor was illegal. Or even more broadly they can do this to anyone who doesn’t possess immediate proof that their parents were legal immigrants? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx23zk1jp1go

It is honestly funny that some very “bright” people have decided to use “woke” as an insult…. If we are referencing The Matrix here, “woke” sure is a better state than being a copper top 🤔🔋 Language is funny

That time when i tried to tell people very seriously to not do business with OpenAI and no one listened 🙄. It’s common sense that you never get a good deal with bad people.

For 🇺🇸->🇬🇧 planning people ~ 0.76 is probably the best conversion rate we’re getting these days if you’re looking at some large conversions, or alternatively math your way with dollar cost average as you need #randomNotFinancialAdvice

There should be a sociology term “Taylor Swift Effect”: where successful women are more often questioned about the legitimacy of their success while loser bros like Elon (whose dad had an emerald mine and flew private) are assumed to have worked for their success.

Weird that when men are condescending assholes with no leadership skills it’s their “management style”, but when women are even slightly stern when she’ve been a competent exec for years she’s considered bitchy and aggressive. So done with white male centric patriarchal bs 🙄 incompetent men fail upward when they are assholes apparently… wait i already knew this!
