the acquiescence of the western allies who were so recently wailing about greenland is truly despicable. it's one thing to support this kind of madness while singing a stupid song about samson. to legitimate this as though it is a minor departure from a real negotiation is an insult to human dignity

nuclear powers aggressing against non-nuclear states on false grounds using false diplomatic processes and timelines in hopes of launching surprise attacks is bad. such actions have consequences far beyond the conflict itself. people are right not just to defend but to hit hard enough to deter this

probably not a viable strategy to try to overwhelm their capacity to reverse engineer captured hardware

we tried to do to independent korea what we are doing to gaza, and the survivors believed in the importance of maintaining military readiness and acquiring deterrence capability not dependent on china or the soviet union. somehow this is crazier than continuing to do this to people around the world

if i knew nothing about the case other than this list of minimizers i would immediately call to authorize the maximal response

you have to call it 90s-00s because it was already done away with in any organized sense lol. there’s not going to be an abolition of individual people making spot decisions to be rude to others

this is my main take on the thing. i have thoughts on llm-based ai research and capital returns, externalities, use cases, insights into the nature of intelligence and language, and more, but the left academic preference to demystify and disentangle received concepts seems to be what it objects to

congratulations and good fortune to all in the new year, including the devils and barbarians! as we shed old, very bad illusions in the year of the snake, let us work with tremendous speed and huge energy towards a fantastic, unbelievable new destination in the year of the horse. merry springfest!

in the previous decade and before, if you heard a team of doctors had arrived in a poor country that suffered a disaster, you could fairly guess where they were from. similarly, if a rich man fled sex crimes charges to a country that won’t extradite, there is a major statistical outlier. anyway

Much to consider. www.ft.com/content/3382...

genuinely confused as to why tate thinks epstein was a scumbag. oh wait jewish

the key to understanding the whole zionist overreach in antisemitism accusations is that this "whole package" identity encompassing faith, ethnicity, and a limited range on certain political positions is presumed, and any rejection of that presumption is itself taken as opposition to the whole group

taxing consumers and productive businesses to fund fat bonuses for the worst of us to destroy the best. possibly the most efficient society-worsening policy mix ever implemented

There can be no clearer evidence that the White House remains wedded to a Unipolar world.

it’ll go higher

Here's an article on AI-Assisted manufacturing: en.people.cn/n3/2026/0120...

this is really something to listen to live

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/i-di... #Palestine #Israel

the man-made horrors have mostly been within our comprehension tbh

get bent mbs, we're building FREEOM

liberalism isn’t my framework but it seems like a baseline for it to have anything to say about international relations is it’s much, much worse to be inactive in opposing the crimes of your own country than to be offering incorrect explanations of the crimes of other countries

the turning the calendar page and the year is 1984 meme but the year is 1794

labubu derivatives. next year, leveraged 3x etfs for the same?

my view is that you shouldn’t hold a stock valued at p/e of 300 with falling sales and no successful new products in years, but if you are, it is rational to embrace shitcoin status and lean into the meme, as no normal valuation can possibly justify that price. the shareholders voted correctly

This map is highly misleading. In the American electoral system, votes don't influence policy.

out of all the losers tonight i have to say i have the most contempt for people who voted sliwa in the past however many elections who switched to cuomo under pressure only to lose pathetically anyway. what trifling dullards

is it good for economy if you defund all research to hire an army of unemployables to assault parents with jobs and then invest the remainder in argentinian pesos

well good luck to the folks in maine i guess. no advice from here, have fun with it

took em half a year to figure this one out eh

sorry, we're all out of bags of holding. but may i interest you in this bag of bag of holding holding? it can hold any number of bags of holding!

Like this isn't ambiguous.

the Deform and Closing agenda advances onward

lock and goldmine the site, 5, all the old catchphrases

not really clear what the competing principles are on today’s respective tankie/whatever and liberal/socialist posting fights. kinda just seems like people are mad other people have different opinions/feelings at all and backfilling content

this was their reichstag fire

it’s like they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins by arbitrarily redefining the reporting period of your progress

chud-groyper-normiecon civil war is like the kahanist-secular nationalist war, it seems overdetermined analytically but waiting for it feels awful because they delay the breakup of their plundering warband by attacking outwards

“deepest, darkest, China” is so funny man he’s still got it

glad the state capacity for brandonization hasn’t been dismantled yet

today is 8/27... 2³/3³ happy cube day, everybody! enjoy your cubes of all kinds

SUGGESTION [Challenging: Failure] — The reporter hands you back the bag of Herr's Sour Cream & Onion potato chips, saying she can't accept your bribe. The red envelope inside falls out. 1. - "I make a mistake. I’m so sorry. I don’t know. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I feel so bad right now."

You got a fucking free, fully furnished house and you're still complaining about not having a servant. I despise these people.

the people posting that stuff at cooper are wrong on the political logic but in a purely cultural sense i don’t see why irreligious intolerance shouldn’t be as accepted as the inverse. lots of people prefer the company of coreligionists. ofc people who disagree should also feel free to say so

Maria Farmer has spoken to the press several times, including before 10/7 (you'll see why that's relevant) telling them that Epstein frequently claimed he's working with Mossad explicitly, and called himself an 'Israeli supremacist' all the time.

so when is he adding that feature to the cars
