square deal
in 1902, a coal miners' strike threatened the nation's supply of heating fuel. roosevelt invited the mine owners and union officials to the white house, but the owners refused to negotiate. furious, the president got them to back down, and the strike was settled, with the miners receiving a pay raise and a nine-hour work day, down from 12 hours.
in his bid for reelection in 1904, roosevelt said that in brokering the settlement he had tried for a "square deal"—a fair result-for both sides. the square deal became his motto for the rest of his career. roosevelt won a landslide election to become president in his own right in 1904. -

racism
racism is the belief that certain races are superior to others, and that the superior races are entitled to dominate and oppress the inferior ones. racism is often based on the idea that certain physical characteristics, such as skin color or facial features, determine a person's worth and capabilities. racism can manifest itself in many ways, including discrimination, prejudice, violence, and oppression. it is a pervasive problem that has been present throughout history and continues to affect people around the world today.
while the actions and behaviors associated with racism can be harmful and destructive, they do not necessarily indicate a mental health condition. racism is a complex social and cultural issue that is rooted in historical and systemic inequalities and power imbalances. it is important to address and combat racism through education, awareness, and social and political action. -
arrest of ekrem imamoglu
a coup attept.
this isn't a legal case, it's entirely political. erdogan knows he would lose against this man, so he's doing everything he can, even illegally, to block imamoglu. erdogan likely won't enter an election he knows he'll lose and won't allow power to change hands through democratic means. imageimageimageimageimageimage -
world-systems theory
world-systems theory is a social science theory developed by immanuel wallerstein in the 1970s.
it explains global inequality by viewing the world as a single interconnected economic system, where countries are divided into three types:
- core countries: wealthy, powerful, industrialized nations.
- semi-periphery countries: in-between nations, developing economies that have some industry but still depend on core countries.
- periphery countries: poorer, less developed countries that mainly export raw materials and labor to core countries.
the system is based on exploitation:
core countries exploit both the semi-periphery and the periphery for cheap labor and raw materials, keeping them dependent and underdeveloped.
1- core country example:
united states, germany, japan
explanation: high technology, advanced industries, strong political power. they manufacture goods from raw materials imported from poorer countries and export finished products globally.
2- semi-periphery country example:
mexico, brazil, south africa
explanation: countries that have growing industries and some political power, but still depend on core countries for capital and technology.
3- periphery country example:
bangladesh, ethiopia, democratic republic of congo
explanation: these countries primarily export raw materials (like cotton, coffee, or minerals) and cheap labor to richer countries. -
andrzej bargiel
the man who skied down everest.
for the first time in history, a climber reached 8,848 meters without supplemental oxygen, carrying skis on his back, and then skied back down the mountain — the polish mountaineer andrzej bargiel.
andrzej bargiel has become the first person to climb mount everest without supplemental oxygen and then ski back down to base camp, also without oxygen.
after roughly 16 hours climbing through the high-altitude “death zone” (above 8,000 meters, where oxygen levels are dangerously low), bargiel reached the summit of the highest mountain in the world, clipped into his skis, and began his descent via the south col route.
that night, he stopped to rest at camp ii. the summit ridge and the hillary step had taken longer than expected, and descending in darkness would have been too risky. the next morning, guided by drone footage piloted by his brother bartek, he navigated the dangerous khumbu icefall and reached base camp safely — officially becoming the first person in history to summit everest and ski down without supplemental oxygen.
the footage is unbelievable. the cinematography is gorgeous. and the fact that drones were able to operate above 8,000 meters and capture 4k shots like this is on another level entirely. -
