Japan’s“great ally”, USA, used to boil flesh off of Japanese skulls and send them home as war trophies and gifts to their sweeties back home.
A young woman writing a thank you note to her boyfriend in the Navy for the skull of a Japanese soldier that he sent, 1944
A rare and disturbing picture, so much about this is still a mystery. We don’t know what became of the skull—or, indeed, what became of the young woman herself, or…RHP (Rare Historical Photos)

Yeah, turns out war is pretty fucked up. Look up the rape of nanjing. Or Pearl Harbor. Or Hiroshima.
You get the idea.
And Japanese cannibalism of executed POW's, and Ishii's biological warefare unit. War is Hell.
The US was the model for biological testing and eugenics, that's not why they fought japan, nor was it even one of the stated reasons at the time.
Maybe I have an edgy take but I really don't care about brutality against Japanese imperialists. I hold them as much more evil than the Nazis during the 20th century.
That is edgy. Stalin virulently rebuked war crimes against Nazi Germany's civilians and POWs as it pushed them back.
By contrast, the brutality, starvation, and high death rates for nazi POWs held by the US in western europe during and after ww2 is not a story most ppl know about. Losurdo gets into this a bit, as well as contrasts the nazi's position that the slavic ppl must be eradicated and made into slaves, while the USSR's position was that germany and the german ppl will go on after the war, and efforts should be made to not follow the nazi's scorched earth policy.
Right now, #23andme, the DNA testing and data collection site, might be up for grabs to the highest bidder.
Including some of the most private (and immutable) data of 15 million people.
«Genetic data is immutable and can reveal very personal details about you and your family members.»
This shows, that data that has been exposed and/or collected once, will be available to anyone with money or hacking skills.

More on the #23andme bankruptcy in this thread by @pluralistic (read upward from the link).
But the thread (read downward) alsopromotes the fascinating idea of a compulsory "living will", that for any company on whose function their customers rely on, the company has to set aside instructions and funds to help transition the users.
For goods attached to a mandatory cloud service, e.g. open-source the components or help free the goods from the cloud.

Reminder to anyone in the path of #Milton
When speaking to your insurance, do NOT use the word "flood". No matter what your claim is, do NOT say that word. Use the following words ONLY:
- hurricane
- wind-driven rain
Your insurance will try to trick you into turning it into a flood claim, so they can then categorically deny it. Don't fall for it.

Terrific advice.
"So how would you describe the interior of the house?"
"Undry"
"Would you say it was flooded?"
"Did I stutter? It was undry from wind-driven rain."
"So it was flooded."
"Your words. Not mine."
"So how would you describe the interior of the house?"
"Damaged from wind-driven rain."
"Would you say it was flooded?"
"No, it was hit by a hurricane."
"So it was flooded."
"No it was damaged by wind-driven rain from the hurricane that hit it."

And what do they think when an even more genocidal and racist candidate beats the "lesser evil"?
Would you mind 'spelling it out', @**joe braun? Who are you referring to by 'they'? And who, praytell, is 'more' genocidal and racist; not in theory or speculation or Saturday-B-Movie-Drive-in scripting horror-fantasy, but in reality?
