What peeves me is that it's not Taco Bell, but its produce supplier, which, by the way, supplies to plenty of other businesses. It's just that Taco Bell RIGHTLY took the initiative to 86 lettuce and cilantro toppings out of precaution days ago. Now they're the focus of an investigation.

White supremacist kleptocrats using technology and the architecture and armature of the law to run cover for each other and build the world they want. It's not a great system, and must be fought and destroyed.

Counter-objection: gunpowder-era settings are as scarse as potentially cool as fuck. I mean: in that period they HAD TO have both guns and swords because both kinda sucked if not made good and proper.

as to all times this discourse comes up I can only say: cope

the ultimate piss boiler for the most annoying people on earth would be Master and Commander

Also Gilgamesh / Bilgamesh was assumed as a god-judge of the dead AFTER he died, just like Minos and Yama / Yima

Gilgamesh discovered that the only way to live forever was in memory, and the best way to do that is not to harvest your child's blood

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed Europe and Ukraine buried US-Russia agreements reached in Alaska and tried to sideline Washington. He also labeled Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov “terrorism.” #Russia

I cannot say no to a good model

Russia's answer to Boeing and Airbus may be losing its biggest civilian order. S7 Airlines' deal for up to 100 Tu-214 jets could collapse, in part because the plane's cockpit still requires a third crew member and the manufacturer can't guarantee a redesign. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

The Élysée Palace has announced that Ukraine and nine other European countries have formed an Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition to jointly develop ballistic missile defence systems. t.me/voynareal/13...
