Cartoon showing a shopping district with various stores all selling weapons. The stores have names like 'BombsRUs', 'Warmart' and "Tankland - Megastore'. In the middle of the district is a dilapidated courthouse that is falling apart, standing on a lot with patch grass and weeds, labeled 'International Legal Order'. Some of the letters are askew and the 'O' has fallen. In front of the courthouse stands a sign announcing a new store: 'Coming soon: Missiles & More'

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #144: The Falkland Islands Penguin Reserve.

The world's largest nature reserve for penguins was created unintentionally.
The Falkland Islands were heavily land-mined in the Falklands War, making the beaches off-limits to humans and large predators. But penguins are not heavy enough to trigger the land mines, so the beaches became a safe haven for thousands of them.

After two days of absence due to harsh weather and internet outages, I’m back.
We’re still suffering in the cold, living in tents with little clothing.
I haven’t received any support this week — please don’t forget me.

This is a tedious hit piece that gets re-run every few years. It always makes the same mistakes.

(1) overlooking the colonization of South Asia and Burma by British troops, Protestant missionaries, and capitalists, which is directly responsible for both Hindu Sangh Parivar violence (like Modi and the RSS/VHP) and Buddhist ethnic nationalism in Sri Lanka and Burma

(2) setting up a "wow, gosh, everyone thinks Buddhism is peaceful" straw man argument - look at the Mongols, Japanese Zen during the early 20th century, modern Korean Buddhism (nationalist and happy with military service), the Khampas who fought a guerilla war against the PLA.... it's only hand-wringing elites drenchef in colonial power who don't actually know the history of Buddhists worldwide.

(3) Treating Buddhist lineages worldwide as all part of a single "religion" -- itself a colonial idea enforced by European Christian missionaries, and now inescapably part of the post-colonial trap.

While peace is often viewed merely as the absence of war, it has its own content and mechanics, which are perpetuated by ordinary people. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/26/world/art-and-how-to-make-peace/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #peace #ambrogiolorenzetti #saladeinove #siena #palazzopubblico #war #holocaust

The U.S. is ending temporary legal status for citizens of Myanmar in the United States, arguing they can safely return to the war-torn country and citing the military junta’s planned elections as evidence of “progress.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/25/asia-pacific/politics/us-status-myanmar-nationals-elections/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #us #immigration #refugees #myanmar

In the latest blow against a program that has for decades welcomed people fleeing #war & #persecution into the country.”

In the healing phase from the war, I'm trying to get my sparkel back!

As a distinguished and hardworking individual since childhood, it was difficult for me to see my knowledge, academics, and #technical skills decline due to the #war . Before the war, I graduated first in my class with a diploma in #computer #technology, and at the age of 20, I got my first job and was taking many courses. But the war shattered everything, even my knowledge and dreams😿.

Nearly 200,000 #Ukrainians in #US thrown into legal limbo by #Trump #immigration crackdown

The Trump admin's processing delays on the #humanitarian program for Ukrainians launched by Democratic President Joe #Biden has left nearly 200,000 people at risk of losing their #legal status as of March 31, according to internal US government data reviewed by Reuters. The number of Ukrainians affected by the delays has not been previously reported.
