What has academia done this century to augment and protect academic integrity? The technology exists now to ferret out all plagiarism in published academic writing, penalizing it and rewarding honest writing, yet academia make no moves whatsoever towards using this technology.

Yes yes, "The Shot" was technically 1989 not "90s".

It's weird how sports footage from 90s looks terrible now, because the film physically degraded in storage before it was digitized. Zoomers don't realize that watching live with good antena reception yes you could see everyone's faces; it wasn't like this

The social sciences are not serious about looking honestly at the 21st century. The academics in question, who ought to be inventing something new and unflinching, are just trying to win prizes for telling an obselete regime what it wants to hear.

Yes theyre wrong. Their theory of how to spark new ethnogenesis is wrong. It's one of many new disciplines the social sciences should have hatched by now, if they were serious about addressing the real needs of the 21st century:."Assimilation Science"."Ethnogenesisology".

Yeah this was an insane feature of living in Germany. 5 hrs to do a load.

UK leaders (both major parties) really do deserve an enormous amount of condemnation for producing a situation there where years of what academics call “intercommunal conflict” are now unavoidable.

What didnt flow from England flowed from the Bible…and Los Angeles. A small bit from family memory of the “old country” in the east somewhere.

The way I grew up, much of my frame of cultural reference flowed from England. And it’s strange how people dont say “England” as much as I remember they did in 80s-90s and even 00s.

There's two revisionisms happening at the same time here: one where the Allies were supposedly fighting Germany to "stop fascism" rather than reality where allies were same anti-German alliance that had existed during WW1; the other where late 20th c Hollywood supposedly misled

Why is it that when I read up on history of Swedes during time of Carolus Rex (Charles XII) and Great Northern War, so many of the names look German not Swedish? Wat mean. It is as if Sweden was actually "Germany" of that time.

In 2020 he knew better than to go along with NGO-boosted fraudulant presentation of crime data and also never supported "GAC" for children and this type of thing. he basically had to leave Vox over these positions. Bc he's a very skilled operator he's thrived as a solo act.

I dont like how every Tiktok video ends with the Tiktok jingle, and I'm surprised most people accept this as fine and not incredibly grating.

I feel like this is how quite a lot of political trouble starts. A small handful of unhealthily overfocused weirdos gets *their* pamphlet of "correct scientific principles" about some obviously not-scientific issue like flags or identity gnosis distributed at every committee.
