Smarter people than me must have observed this already but here we see the current most popular mode of how people try to convince us that insane things are normal: trying to appeal to the instinctive sense that there must be an adult in the room and that it makes no sense if there isn't one

Hoist the colours! Spread that 60 mins! Pirates this is where you tech wise what free speech really is! youtu.be/fINeo6sWqGI?...

This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.

A violent Neo Nazi organization with close ties to and funding from the Kremlin appears suddenly to get a green light from Kash Patel's FBI.

A scenario in which responding "You'd be speaking German if it wasn't for us" would be more justified than any British or American Boomer saying it ever.

There was way more stuff to loathe Owlcat for before this

An other Russian general have joined the russian space force

Harper's letter was the right wings Harper's Ferry. The right wing twisted freespeech to be something it's not with the purposes of gaining control over speech.

A reminder: Bari Weiss signed the Harper's Letter.

Russian forces crossed into the border village of Hrabovske and forcibly removed around 50 civilians, mostly men, to Russian territory The Ukrainian defenders described the raid as a "political provocation" rather than a large-scale military operation euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/21/r...

Aside from just how generally grim and gross it is, I always just find the mail-order-foreign-wife thing so deeply pathetic and sad. Like, if you want to date a woman from [insert foreign country], then just fucking go there and go out and meet women there like a normal person.

started / going

Russian logistics ship ADLER is at anchor IN Sweden. Possibly broken down. Usually runs heavy weapons to Russian bases in Africa / Middle East. Was inspected by military aircraft 2h ago. Swedish Coast Guard just arrived to area.

Idk it sems like an bad ide to let an Russian build an house next to the Navys HQ and it seems like his famely are racists POS.

Tolkien predicted this. This is the mirkwood.

Basically the entire time since 2014 people have repeatedly told me I'm being irrational and paranoid for basically just literally quoting things Vladimir Putin says he plans to do and going "he clearly plans to do them" after I last witnessed him doing them

Candace Owens held up an English translation of August Rohling’s „der Talmudjude“ and repeated its antisemitic lies to her millions of listeners in her attack on Ben Shapiro. Rohling was a notorious Catholic antisemite who spewed vile lies and about Jews and the Talmud. This is incredibly dangerous.

😂 A former radical right True Finn MP, who even they managed to eject from their party (though due to violence, not due to his pro Putin tendencies) is now doing propaganda from Moscow, where he hides due to unpaid taxes. A new low, though the bar was never high! www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-...

The Kremlinologists always insist that this is just propaganda meant for domestic consumption which is completely fucking insane as an excuse and refuses to engage with how that might shape public opinion in Russia

They are doing the movie Villain speech thing on the regular. media.tenor.com/2zb3k6pBNqgA...

Hard to explain to people that Russian State TV regularly does segments essentially elaborately fantasizing about nuking London and New York on a regular basis

Most of driving is reasoning and even though humans are awful drivers and selfish pricks they can problem solve in ways robots can't

This is why my solution to this is hema. The thing about hema. Imagine getting to see Tate get morning stared to the helme? @mukudk2.bsky.social

Look if we just go around beating the absolute shit out of social media assholes there’s bound to be some sort of long-term theoretical negative externality or something Anyway be careful out there Nate Silver

"Just like in India" India literally had reserved parliamentary seats for the descendants of Anglo colonial settlers until just a few years ago.

Kick out the russian embassy and confescate it. Sell the building to the highest bidder.

We won't ever normalize with Russia so Russia being pissed of that it's money is being used to defend Ukrainian doesn't matter.

I'm sorry: I'm glad the Brown shooter has been found, but watching law enforcement officials take a victory lap and praise each other feels kinda gross? Given how the FBI messed up by leaking the name of an innocent person and that a random 48-year-old guy avoided capture for days, no time to brag

Zurab Girchi Japaridze, leader of the opposition Girchi-More Freedom party, was released from Rustavi prison early on December 19 after completing a seven-month sentence for defying the so-called Tsulukiani Commission.

Sure wish my fucking governor would say ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THIS

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

So my gut feeling about the brown university attacker was correct. It turns out that thier is an sort of person who might do this kind of thing.

I’d certainly be interested in talking to that student. He would be the fourth person I’ve represented who was falsely smeared as a mass murderer by a rightwing misinfo campaign. I’m getting pretty good at it.
