Time for another #SquirrelsOfTheWorld, and time to again celebrate the Malabar Giant Squirrel (Ratufa indica) from India, the world’s largest tree squirrel. 🇮🇳🐿️🌏 #Squirrels

Late night thoughts from #SquirrelMeme. 🐿️
🧵 Authoritarianism, Democratization, and Coalition Politics. The consensus around here is, more or less, that the United States is currently a consolidating authoritarian regime controlled by a mix of reactionary populists and fascists.
Hey Firefox users.
Most welcome. Least I can do for the many hours I have spent enjoying both your podcasts!
Now you might wonder, but then why was Ghana not named “Lower Volta” (like the Upper and Lower Kingdoms of Pharaonic Egypt)? The Volta reaches the Atlantic here. But the former Gold Coast (whose neighbour is Côte d’Ivoire) instead picked the name of an ancient empire to which it never belonged. 🇲🇱 🇬🇭
I was once given a Burkina Faso pin by someone from Ouagadougou. 🇧🇫

. @jesszafarris.bsky.social @robwords.bsky.social In your “Country Name Origins,” you said that you’ll get back to the topic, including countries changing their colonial name. A good example is Burkina Faso, the former “Upper Volta” — the Volta River begins there. 🇧🇫 afrolegends.com/2013/09/12/w...

The daughters of Hermann Göring's aide - who refused for years to talk with art-theft investigators - put their home in Argentina up for sale, and GUESS WHAT.

Many years ago, I heard both of my dogs barking aggressively. I went outside to see what was going on, and I found the dogs lunging and snarling at the fence. On the other side of the fence was a squirrel, lying on their belly, unbothered, enjoying the show. Squirrels' troll game is strong.
Is #WorldDogDay a real day? Probably not, but squirrels can mark the day by taunting some dogs. 🐶🐿️ #SquirrelScrolling #dogs

Your occasional reminder -- as arrivals on student visas decrease 28% -- that tuition from foreign students counts as an export, which means that every rejected student visa is going to contribute to the US trade deficit. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Dear @washingtonpost.com: these two paragraphs are absolute malpractice. Utterly disgraceful. You use total counts, not rates … for the THIRD BIGGEST CITY IN THE US. Of COURSE it has a high total. And rates “have come down” … with a link, but no number. Down FIFTY PERCENT IN FOUR YEARS.

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.
Well, this is totally normal. As it happens, Kimberly Prost used to work to work on international cooperation on corruption and money laundering offence as Commonwealth Secretariat’s Head of the Criminal Law Section. I can see why Trump would feel threatened by her. 🧑🏼⚖️ www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker. Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path. Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.
Is Schopenhauer even “canon”? I can say from personal experience reading him made me a much worse conversationalist. He’s rude, sexist, boorish and boring. His few interesting ideas are stolen from Buddhism. And he looks like a complete loon.

Since today is India’s Independence Day, here is the Grizzled Giant Squirrel (Ratufa macroura). They are found only in southern India & in Sri Lanka. In India, they live in the hill forests of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu & Kerala. #SquirrelsOfTheWorld 🇮🇳🐿️ #squirrels animaladay.blogspot.com/2012/09/griz...

Counter counterpoint, it has never been easier to read news about other countries. The Hindu, The East African, DW, NHK, Le Monde, the South China Morning Post, BBC, CBC, & many more are readily available online. Some have their own app! NY Times gets so much wrong, it’s better to go to the experts.

Gotta say -- I'm baffled by lots of other people being baffled that India-U.S. relations are on rocky ground at present. This strikes me as completely expected. Maybe everyone else should listen to historians? Maybe our specialist knowledge helps at times? Maybe all the time?
