You don’t even have to for that far back. During the Second World War there was a massive resistance movement by the french population against the german occupation.
The “French surrender” memes says way more about their elites than their people.
It was already a common trope in sci-fi at the time, but it’s still mind boggling to see how they could imagine something like the internet and some form of AI at the time.
Also, we get to see the Doctor in a London Pub in the 60s, so great serial
“Charismatic leadership” is an expression often used in political theory to describe leaders who are able to agrue a personal following and use it for political gain, in a level unlike that of most politicians, to whom support is way more conditional.
It’ doesn’t necessarily mean the same as “approachable” , or anything that “charismatic” usually is used to describe. It’s been used to describe figures as awful as Hitler or Mussolini.
Vance does not have the cult leader credentials. If he pulled a “Let’s take Greenland” out of his ass, he wouldn’t have the same spell to keep 30% of approval.
That’s why many authoritarian regimes fall after the death of the charismatic leader.
And yes, the root cause of Trump appearing in the political scene go beyond himself and point towards structural problems of US society. But now he has this power, it’s a fact that his death will cause a great loss to the political power of the MAGA movement, and it’ll be very hard for any successor to keep this coalition in power, specially considering they’re already fighting among themselves.
Hi. Your description suggests you might have an eating disorder. In that case, it’s fundamental you look for professional health assistance ASAP, and before deciding to go into any surgical procedure. A professional may help you discover what is the source of your compulsion for food, and help you treat it by the root.
Second: regular exercise is always a good suggestion, regardless of it’s effect in weight loss. Even if the balance shows the same weight, your boy might be changing bad far for good fat and muscle, and getting active in a way that will boost your confidence and your overall health, in ways that can’t be measured just through your weight.
Good luck, and take care of yourself!
I hope US media is able to call this out for what it is: an illegal war of aggression by the United States

Hi! Thanks for your comments
Honestly, I think this is not a second DF, but it IS the Hito Hito model Nika (Gomu Gomu no Mi).
The timeline roughly adds up. Shanks discovers it exists, saves it from Elbaph, but it’s taken by the Marines. Before it’s taken to Mariejois, Shanks intercepts and takes it again, leaving for the East Blue (likely to try and give it to Ace, who we now know he thought was the most likely successor to be the future KOTP).
It also adds up to what was said about Loki before: that people thought he was the destroyer of the world, the same role played by Nika in Elbaph’s tales. He likely worked with Shanks to prevent the WG to know that the DF was taken from Elbaph.
Great chapter!
[Brazil] More or less the same, but with better prospects.
My childhood was better and way more comfortable than both my parents, who clawed their way out of rural poverty and into a decently paying, high school level jobs as bank clerks (they met working at the bank), in which they stayed until retirement. The married and had children later than their peers (they hadn’t meet at my age), so they had good savings in store.
I went into a great public university and decided to follow an academic career (just finished my master’s). This means I already have way more educational opportunities than they ever did. On the other side, my finances are way less stable, going from stipend to stipend in temporary scholarships and research grants. This is aggravated by the fact I got a partner who relied on my income for years while she tried to overcome depression, finish her graduate course and get a job. Now she got all three, and for her, who came from real poverty, this already means she is way better than her parents (her father never finished elementary school and her mother got pregnant of her at 17 and abandoned high school).
Now I’m looking for a more stable job outside of academia, and I hope the as soon as I get it, with both our incomes, our financial lives will start getting better. It might take a while for us to have the means to have a child, but we expect to have less children than our parents (I’m the middle child of three, she is the oldest of four siblings), so this might be easier.
We also have 4 cats, which is a plus in any life.
