Unseen Japan: Hokkaido University Apologizes for a Century of Ainu Remains Research. “On July 27, 2026, Hokkaido University issued its first-ever proper apology for a prewar research program. The medical school collected and studied more than 1,000 sets of Ainu remains. The university expressed that the work ‘deeply wounded the dignity of the Ainu people.'”

In conversation with Lea Ypi
In Indignity, author and academic Lea Ypi investigates the truth about her family as she transports the reader to the vanished world of Ottoman aristocracy, the making of modern Greece and Albania, a global financial crisis, the horrors of war and the dawn of communism in the Balkans – asking what we really know about those closest to us.

You know the insolence of Antonius; you know his friends, you know his whole household. To be slaves to lustful, wanton, debauched, profligate, drunken gamblers, is the extremity of misery combined with the extremity of infamy.
[Nostis insolentiam Antoni, nostis amicos, nostis totam domum. libidinosis, petulantibus, impuris, impudicis, aleatoribus, ebriis servire, ea summa miseria est summo dedecore coniuncta.]Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 3, ch. 14 / sec. 35 (2.14/3.35.1) (44-12-20 BC) [tr. Yonge (1903)]More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/cicero-marcus-tulliu…

A thing is funny when — in some way that is not actually offensive or frightening — it upsets the established order. Every joke is a tiny revolution. If you had to define humour in a single phrase, you might define it as dignity sitting on a tin-tack. Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny. And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

“Today, US #Immigration & Customs Enforcement (#ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of #Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as #citizens, without producing a #warrant. One of the detainees is a US #military #veteran who suffered the #indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.
