The History of China

#235 - Ming 25: Some Light Treason

In the chaos that grips the steppes in the mid 15th century, anarchy reins. Though there are though who call themselves khans, they were merely figureheads controlled by their own prime ministers, the taishis. The once mighty Borjigin Clan has been bled nearly dry, and usurpers are over every hill crest. 

Into this world of destruction and disarray, two children are born on opposite sides of the vast Gobi. The first is one of the last members of the House of Borjigin, a boy called Bayan Möngke, who will in time become the heir to the office of Great Khan of the Mongols. The other a girl of seemingly little significance, Mandukhai, who will be given to the sitting Khan in marriage as his second queen.

The Truth

Influencers (part I of II)

La masturbation est plutôt silencieuse ? D'accord, mais ça n'a pas empêché Internet et la bande dessinée de lui inventer une onomatopée : fap. L'histoire pourrait s'arrêter à cette simple signalétique masturbatoire sans importance. Sauf que sur Internet ce n'est jamais simple, et que toute culture crée une contre-culture. Ainsi, le fap a généré le NoFap, mouvement anti-masturbatoire destiné à faire reprendre en main leur vie aux hommes... à condition qu'ils n'y mettent plus les doigts.

Sex and sounds (n°5) : Le fap est un bruit solitaire

In 1988, a man in Hickory, NC was sentenced to life in prison based on evidence that experts would later call "junk science." It took him 24 years to convince someone to look at the evidence again.
