We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

This, of course, implies that the allied forces behind the D-Day landings embodied a "dangerous ideology"; presumably antifascism.

Seems like the interests of capital at large can still prevail over the interests of particular capitalists and capital factions But as always, the open conflict is a sign of the crisis of hegemony

Right about now (BDST) W/C L.E. Healy, the AAEAF armaments officer, received a call from the Air Ministry reminding him that the 1000 lb bomb had not been cleared for use on the Hawker Typhoon. Healy replied with one of the finest memos of WW2. RCAF Typhoons had dropped 48 of them that morning.

One of the most frustrating things about all the Platner stans is that they’re accusing his detractors of hating him for his leftist politics, when everything we’re talking about indicates he is neither a good person NOR A LEFTIST

This is a constant with Trump: whenever he learns a new thing, he assumes it must be esoteric knowledge, known only to a tiny few.

I daren't rewatch Buffy in case it doesn't match my memory (how could it?) but I do know that whilst the Scooby Gang gave the show its heart, Anthony Head's Giles was what gave it the necessary gravity. When he said "no, this shit's real", a part of you really believed him.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

Unfortunately, Tetsuo came out in 1989, so I'm going to have to pick Tetsuo II: Body Hammer from 1992. I was obsessed with these movies back in the day, but I bet I'm the only person with this pick.

Gaudí’s Sagrada Família finally shakes off its ‘incompletable’ tag, as Pope prepares to inaugurate its tallest and final tower
Long considered forever unfinishable due to its extreme complexity and the loss of its architect’s original plans, the Barcelona basilica’s 18th tower has now been completed

There are almost no crustaceans in the deep ocean. Not because they would get crushed, but because they would DISSOLVE. The cold & high pressure cause changes to water that make it very corrosive to calcium carbonate shells. But there's one crustacean who solves this problem with ALUMINUM ARMOR.

if he stays in the race and wins, his will be the template that democrats search the nation to replicate. a spouse-abusing, rape-fantasizing, nazi-tattooed veteran to run against the same on the right. if he stays and loses, strategists will say progressive politics are unpopular and this is proof.

The Power of Positive Thinking element also explains why his reaction to failure or setbacks is to merely lie more about how the setbacks aren’t happening: A) He literally has no other tools for coping with failure he can’t bully his way out of B) For much of his life, *the tool has worked*

Incidentally, this makes the nihilism and the zero sum game of fascism seem appropriate and realistic while basic things like a functioning healthcare system or a government not being run by Elon Musk and Donald Trump are framed as impossible and undesireable.
