People will believe anything if they're shown a graph purported to back it up.

Foreign Affairs Minister Sybiha: "This is not the 1st time Russian forces are putting Ukrainian nuclear facilities at risk. Russia’s nuclear blackmail & threats to nuclear safety are systemic, deliberate, & unacceptable. They deserve worldwide condemnation & increased pressure on the aggressor." 2/

about 80 percent of intelligence is routine in one form or another (procedural work, bureaucracy, office politics), 5 percent of it is extremely cool and smart, and then 15 percent of it is guys like this.

“In the trickier production of explosives women again were preferred, thanks to their superior manual dexterity and the refusal of males to stop smoking.”

Confirming with my own eyes and pics what several fellow Washingtonians have said about this post with hundreds of shares and earnest comments: straight up misinformation

The SS should be disbanded. We are a free country of free people, the president shouldn't have a militia. And if, as a result, we lose a few, then we lose a few. That's what the VP is for.

I wonder what Otzi did to make those dudes so mad at him

Fellow Americans really can't imagine how far to the right mainstream immigration discourse and policy have become (it's called migration in Europe not immigrants for a reason)

this but unironically. the greater boston area IS conscious

I love living in the future full of biomedical and artificial intelligence breakthroughs ☺️

you know who else didn't like people fleeing to free states?

OK but at least humans never manufacture stuff out of whole cloth. Now to take a big sip of tea and see how reliable eyewitness testimony is

heart of darkness but just taking a boat up the Thames

The prophecies foretold a man who could mend the crack in our society and bring us all together again as Americans, prosperous and free. A hunter, an artist — a man with a big dick and an even bigger heart.

you know i think it's good actually that the soviets didn't dominate all of europe

Still think about that time when a bunch of Americans joined a Chinese social media site and someone tried to apologize for nuking Japan and many of the Chinese were like "You should have nuked them harder."

Ok here’s an actual take on this: this is yet another example of something you see all the time: people rejecting the admittedly flattened & sanded down ‘mainstream’ narrative for an alternative that is *way* more inaccurate. You’d be better off just believing the simplistic Sunday school version!

And maybe, just maybe being concerned about Stalinist domination across Europe was valid

Hey so in-between France and Britain entering the war, and the USSR entering the war, what was the USSR up to? Did they have anything going on? I think they might have been doing something, but I can't quite remember… Oh, that's right! They were an ally of the axis powers.

The original antifa spent most of its time actively trying to get the Nazis in power. The three arrows come from the iron front, which actually supported democracy, rather than taking marching orders from Stalin.

Rekindling the spirit of our forefathers this D-Day anniversary

What the fuck are you talking about?

"began by a violation of rights, every step of its progress was a violation of rights, and it was never easy, until it had succeeded to establish absolute wrong, as the supreme and acknowledged maxim of a state completely dissolved, and yet existing only in bloody ruins."

The land corridor to Crimea. “Apparently this is why there’s no fuel,” – says the voice in the video. Turns out it’s difficult to deliver petrol when the fuel trucks keep catching fire along the way. Ukrainian sanctions will find you everywhere. 🔥⛽️🇺🇦

Good start to the series 👏 🗒️ bit.ly/3Q80PK9

Working class men, like Lord Cornwallis, or Prince Schwarzenberg.

"Sanctions don't work" please explain why the Russian budget spent several years operating around the assumption that they'd be getting $60/barrel for oil, the exact value that the Russian oil price cap was set at

So just so we're all clear about where conservatives stand with gaming girl with pink hair who looks like she'd have pronouns in bio: GOOD Nordic blonde who is desperate to return to domestic life: BAD

If a man kidnapped to an illegal torture blacksite overseas can look at us and say "yes, in my heart I am an American", then who are any of us to gainsay him? Who are any of us to write off this dream, these ideals, this identity? The fight must be won, WILL be won, because of folks like Andry.

he still sees himself as American. Despite everything, EVERYTHING, this government and this nation did to him, he sees the strangers and neighbors who rallied to his side because it was RIGHT, and he chooses to believe in that America. He looks at America and sees HOME.

the voting public requires mediating institutions to understand politics and currently the main ones are "app on your phone that makes you angry"

Hey Seattle (and other Washington State) folks, got another thing in November to vote on.

Behold: encirclement.

they really are counting on their damn fingers out west

“Sure, the claim isn’t true but it reflects a real feeling” is the first step on the road to becoming a hack

My opponents are all communists. In unrelated news, my government will be taking ownership of the means of production.

So you support sending the army then?

“We can’t have a terrorist state that’s simultaneously waging a war of aggression and attempting genocide endure any economic repercussions” is a profoundly disgusting take. You either don’t understand the concepts of human rights and dignity or genuinely believe that Ukrainians deserve neither.

You actions define your stance on any issue, not words. Words alone carry little weight, and when they contradict your actions they become completely worthless.

Nothing beats curling up with the warm embrace of having a second backup of your computer.

Bungie / Sony, if you can’t do it yourselves, just have Mythos make destiny 3

yeah idk how one can in good faith advocate for an ai pause either like, it is orders of magnitude easier to develop ai than developing nuclear weapons, and we can't even properly agree on those trying to put a pause on development will just it underground, concentrating power over it even further

I mean I sorta agree with the thread here, but isn't her tweet on the war essentially the DSA stance? And in fact still is their stance? That NATO etc is to blame? So what sources to keep away from? Why hasn't their official stance changed in 4 years since? international.dsausa.org/ukraine/

Like you're not gonna believe this, but they hate us for our freedoms.
