Did you know that for the last 20 years South African and Nigerian version of Sesame Street has had a HIV-positive muppet named Kami

Oh dear, USAID funded too it looks like.

Looks like poor Kami will die soon of her illness, thoughts and prayers.

Her backstory is that she contracted the disease as the result of a transfusion of tainted blood received as an infant; her mother also died of HIV/AIDS. Kami illustrates to Takalani's viewers how to deal with loss and sad feelings in a way that three- to seven-year-olds can understand.

And it taught those kids that they too, may have AIDS and might not have known. Sad, very sad.

There's something funny about the game that Trump ends up watching is the Eagles (a patriotic symbol) vs the indigenous Chiefs and the Eagles seem to be sweeping.

If you want to make it even more comical, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders (formerly known as the Washington Redskins) to go to the Super Bowl.

A quick google search tells me Kami is 5 years old. So this 5 year old had unprotected sex?

You can get AIDS without it being sexually transmitted. It can even be inherited at birth if a parent has it. Strangely enough, it's one of the more common non-cancerous life threatening diseases you'll see represented in children's media.

This is gonna make me sound very VERY autistic but if you've ever played Sonic before there's a character in that franchise who has AIDS.

only political ideologies that work are hyperlocalized ones that are designed to fit the country where the theory was devised. the side benefit is that these ideologies founders tend to be massive lolcows

case in point

Vojislav Šešelj

from wikipedia:

Šešelj's trial was marred by controversy: he went on hunger strike for nearly a month until finally being allowed to represent himself, regularly insulted the judges and court prosecutors once proceedings commenced, disclosed the identities of protected witnesses and was penalised on three occasions for disrespecting the court. He did not call any witnesses in his defence.

guy doxed the courts protected witnesses, told the judges to suck him off, and ended up getting time served
