I thought Hitler was a vegetarian, not fully vegan.

Uhhh...

The Spanish royal family constitutes the Spanish branch of the House of Bourbon (Spanish: Casa de Borbón), also known as the House of Bourbon-Anjou (Spanish: Casa de Borbón-Anjou).

Looking a bit into this, it seems to be shenanigans over some budget cuts that were approved by the majority-KMT legislature, possibly just to mess with the DPP government. So the DPP is now trying to get recall votes in almost every KMT consituency where they can do so. Kinda reminds me of all the (attempts at) recall votes for California's governor.

Some businessman and his NGO advocated for doing these mass recalls for "KMT=fifth column" reasons, but afaik there was little grassroots support for this

Why not both? He then probably felt really smug about saying it to an actual former Soros associate this time.

Holy shit, his liberalism and euro-fawning is egregious here.

He praises Luxembourg for having free transit across the country RIGHT AFTER he mentions Walmart (which is far from alone there) using it as a tax haven. And earlier he talked about the income of Walmart's tax lawyers being dependent on screwing over communities elsewhere. But wow, free transit

Also Luxembourg has the highest car ownership rate in Europe and half of the people who work in the country live outside it because it's too expensive.

Walmart losing out in Germany to "local retailers like Aldi and Lidl" and because countries in Europe have "strong unions"

And of course there's the incessant praise of small businesses and "mom and pop stores" like they are somehow fundamentally different (almost every big chain in Europe began as one guy with one store). His aforementioned description of chains like Aldi and Lidl as "local" in comparison to fucking Walmart might as well read: "I don't want to lick the boot of a FOREIGN capitalist". Especially when he mentions 60 percent of Walmart stuff being made in China when talking about "money leaving the community", as if that percentage doesn't hold true for almost anything.

Liberal idealism that you can just contain their size with regulations.

He's had his issues before but now I actually dislike him, the glazing in Europe has gone too far, and I live in the country he praises the most.

I heard once that it gets so bad in November in large part due to farmers in Punjab and such clearing their fields by burning the dead crops on it, something like that. Is that true?

If you look at her Wikipedia page, it uses three different sources for hateful comments in "Russian state-owned media", and nothing dedicated to stuff at home...

Osaka NOOOO

I keep hearing things about this show. Can someone educate me on it?

This is what the linked article on "Palestinian press" says about it:

Ottoman period (1908–1916)

Three of Palestine's leading newspapers of the pre-World War I era were Al-Quds (Jerusalem) established by Jurji Habib Hanania in Jerusalem in September 1908; Al-Karmil (Carmel after Mount Carmel) in Haifa by Najib Nassar in December 1908; and Falastin (Palestine) by the cousins Issa El-Issa and Yousef El-Issa in Jaffa in January 1911. These three newspapers voiced Arab aspirations and were all published by Palestinian Christians, showing the early role they played in Arab nationalism. In particular, Al-Karmil and Falastin were opposed to Zionism. It was in this early period that the terms "Palestine" and "Palestinians" were being increasingly used by the press.

These early Arab Palestinian newspapers saw Ottoman Jews as loyal subjects to the empire, but condemned Zionism, and grew fearful of it due to the waves of European Jewish immigrants to Palestine, who built settlements relying on Jewish labor and excluded Arab ones. Thus, Arab editors began a public awareness campaign, warning that once the Zionist project was fulfilled, the Arab majority and their lands in Palestine would be lost. A common theme in the press of this early period is a criticism directed towards the European Jewish immigrants who failed to integrate, or bother learning Arabic. The Arab editors preferred to raise the issue to the public's attention rather than the Ottoman authorities, so that the public can be active in preventing land sales to Jews, which caused Arab peasants' eviction, and their subsequent loss of work.

The readership of the newspapers in this early period was limited, but it had been expanding. Literacy rates were relatively low; however, social centers where created, such as libraries, the town cafe and the village guesthouse, where men would read aloud articles from newspapers and engage in political discussions. "Newspaper breaks" used to take place in some factories. There was also recorded instances of newspapers sending a copy of their newspaper to villages in the surrounding areas, namely Falastin. Articles from Falastin and Al-Karmil were often reprinted in other local papers and national ones in Beirut, Damascus, and Cairo.

It's ultimately a nothing-burger, which makes its featuring on "Did you know?" even more confusing. I couldn't find who nominated it and why, it seems too fresh to be archived so far.
