I've read dozens of books about Russia. This is one of the rare books where the historic perspective can make you repeatedly rethink a subject you thought you knew well. My favorite kind of book. At times funny, terrifying, and hopeful. #booksky #bookreview ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

its so hard to convince people who got good grades that theyre stupid this is about bari weiss

Big Conspiracy doesn't want you to see this

Capitalism is a waste of human life and consciousness

ah, the rare "first as farce, then as tragedy"

Workers of the Ummah, Banzai!

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

If the Tkachuk boys, Sasha Barkov, and the rest of the Florida Panthers gang sneak into the Hockey Hall of Fame, Ocean's 11 style, and steal the Stanley Cup, I will be at the parade cheering for their 3rd championship.

Looks like someone lost the Mandate of Heaven

To save democracy we clearly need a Manhattan project for cheap food delivery. Robo burrito taxis, robo food trucks, robo shipping, robo deep fryers, etc.

It is time to crack Big Egg and scramble its monopoly!

For the next few days, every morning someone in America is waking up with ten fingers for the last time and doesn't know it.

Patrick “Paddy” O’Rourke, an Irish immigrant who graduated the top cadet of the West Point class of 1861, was killed in action on July 2, 1863 leading the 140th New York Infantry Regiment to save the Union position on Little Round Top which was on the verge of collapse. He was 26 years old.

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

congrats to the calm-mongers on their victory over that hantavirus scare a little while back

I do not think that a bunch of extremely online weirdos on a niche microblogging website are the right people to ask if social media is harmful for children. Oh, you were online as a kid and you were fine? Are you sure about that? Because you’re here now and look at all of us.

I worked really hard on this and it just sucks to see people I like and respect on here shitting on it. Everyone talks a big game about supporting artists but then they all pile on just to score a few points on the internet. Try creating your own stuff instead of making fun of someone else’s.

how have they made 5 toy story movies and not answered the question of if those figures of jesus nailed to crosses are technically toys

I remember listening to the audio of this live and thinking, "Maybe it just sounds worse than it looks." So I stopped what I was doing to watch. It was, in fact, much worse with the video.

Bloch has a good claim to being the greatest and most influential historian of all time in addition to being a person of real principle and personal bravery. There are heroes out there, and Bloch was one of them.

Every hometown's got the ominous megastructure, what's yours'?

god the Romanovs would have loved RFK Jr so much.

bluesky is the new york times of social media, where it tricks you into thinking it is for global news, only to occasionally snap back into revealing that it was a local news source for new york city all along

Two years after Darializa Avila Chevalier took part in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia University, she is now set to represent the district in which the university is located in Congress.

Neighbors repeatedly told law enforcement that William Sinclair had firearms and was using them to terrorize neighbors.

For my latest video, I found this absolute masterpiece of a Clinton smear ad from 1995. Is this YOUR vision for a better America???

Time is a flat circle.

Every hostile intelligence agency to the United States just getting to play on easy mode

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

"In other words, successful generalship involves first figuring out what to do, then getting people to do it. It has one foot in the intellectual realm of critical thinking and the other in the human world of management and leadership. It is thinking and doing." #booksky #bookreview ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The best part of Bluesky The Sports App is that none of the professional athletes are poasting here.

I used to think his ideology is more later brain-poisoning and less about his early life, but it's pretty clear Musk's obsession with stoking a race war in the UK in particular is because he has a white South African's / Rhodesia fanboy's obsession with wanting revenge for Britain 'betraying' them.
