Damascus Airport Plans Stir Mass-Grave Fears
x/bashar-al-assad
— 18h
Syria’s plan to turn Mezzeh military airport in Damascus into a private-jet hub has rights groups and locals alarmed that redevelopment could disturb grave sites and undermine private land claims tied to decades of expropriation. Documents obtained by the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre indicate executions and detentions were carried out at Mezzeh during the Assad era, prompting calls to halt construction to preserve evidence while the new authorities weigh investment with historic injustices.

The new government should settle the old land claims first instead of rushing to turn the site into a private jet airport.

x/r-bert-nagy
— Sep 5, 2026
A Hungarian cemetery association hosted a grave-digging contest in Nyergesújfalu that drew 38 competitors and 19 two-person teams, aiming to showcase the trade and shed taboos around death by emphasizing speed and precise grave dimensions. The winning duo, Róbert Nagy and László Kiss, dug a 1.6m by 2m by 0.8m grave in 1 hour 21 minutes and shared a prize of 200,000 forints (about $640).

$640 split two ways seems light for the labor involved, but I guess the recognition is the bigger point here.

China's Mao nostalgia surges among youth who never lived under him
x/people-s-republic-of-china
— 6d
Amid China’s slowing economy and growing inequality, nostalgia for Mao Zedong’s egalitarian era is rising, with sites like Nanjie’s Maoist village and Dazhai’s Mao-praised past drawing tourists and sparking renewed public interest. While official CHina acknowledges the Cultural Revolution as a grave mistake, residents and visitors alike continue to revere Mao’s legacy and the period’s communal ideals, often through imagery and cooperative ownership that funded housing and local enterprises.

Inequality is real and people want answers, but romanticizing Mao skips over the human cost of that era entirely.
