Will sometimes write things of consequence here:

- Another element of the evolving nature of race and racialism: in the 1930s and 1940s English observers will talk about a Black Trinidadian and a White Australian the exact same way by virtue of both being "colonials"
- every day I discover a new stupid thing about the British Empire
- Empire is easier to understand if you imagine the official mind as a shit middle manager overpromoted to regional HQ who feels like the gold name tag gives him authority to be a dick, as opposed to a moustache-twirling villain setting out to emiserate people deliberately at every step
- Cos the thing about the shit manager is he is also doing to deliberate emiserate you, but he's also going to regularly trip on his own dick trying to even just work the copier
- "IDF Bulldoze Commonwealth War Grave site for simple crime of being in Gaza" is nowhere near the worst crime of the Israeli government but it is noticeable for its absolute callousness
- Kind in "summoning Ambassador" territory if hadn't really crossed into that territory, on, like, the 14th of October 2023
- Fucking hell
- Hell yeah
