Overly Sarcastic Productions has a video on Thomas Cole that's really neat and covers this painting, along with its prequels.

DW has a documentary where an naturalized citizen working as an immigration lawyer says that her clients would prefer her be a Trump fan, because if she's cool with Trump, then he wouldn't target them.

Maybe in another 50 years they'll apologize for bombing Puerto Ricans 24 years after they became American citizens.

I thought it was interesting that the building itself took place over such a long period.

And yes, Christianity isn't that old, but it's an interesting frame of reference compared to "the construction of the Great Wall of China took place over approximately 2300 years".

Also, sharks are older than trees.

Taiwan is politically complicated. Taiwan has to play a balancing act where China believes that will Taiwan will willingly rejoin the mainland, while still acting as 'the true China'. If mainland China believes that it will eventually be resolved diplomatically, they won't resort to violence. This is complicated with the election of the anti-Chinese president in Taiwan who will push harder against China, upsetting that balance. My guess is that his statements are done to ease Chinese concerns, and/or signal to Taiwan to not antagonize the Chinese.

I 100% agree that education alone will not resolve the issue, but I believe education can help the efficacy of other approaches.

Nebula is an alternative with a lot of content creators I subscribe to. It started off very lanky, but is getting better. I'm just hoping they can attach more talent to switch from Youtube.
