Lol

The Soviet Union was mostly an enterprise of death and oppression. It’s good that it’s gone. Lots of people are vastly better off. Just look at the Baltics. Hopefully someday the Russian people get to have a free society under a just government.

As BeijingPalmer says, China is a real place full of actual people, not whatever the hamster wheel Mr. Trump calls a brain decided it was five seconds ago.

Remember when I said that Capcom was probably going to double down on the incest after the "We apologize for any confusion" comments? Well, here ya go. They just flat-out said, "yup, still his cousin-sister-wife." I'm fucking dying.

Coming next anime season: OreImo Season 3, featuring Guest Star Alex from Street Fighter! (Yeah, I'm going to Hell for this)

President Manbaby lashes out at the Pope by harming children.

If people want to complain about specific food item inflation from the left/liberal position, beef would be perfect because a good portion of it is being driven by climate change and constraints in international trade.

The cost of burrito taxi delivery rose 6% in a year and America voted to throw service workers into the meat grinder over it. “Proletarian dictatorship” lmao

It’s so funny that anyone thinks treatler burgerland (60% property owners) have any appetite whatsoever for Bolshevism.

This is less a shot across his nose, and more one up it.

The fertility collapse is now global and all the previous assumptions about why it exists are debunked as it's set in as solidly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Central America as it has everywhere else. It can't just be greater riches.

Yeah, I do want to point out that it's literally a thing now *everywhere.* Sub-Saharan Africa is now caught up with everyone else. www.mercatornet.com/to_the_surpr...

Surprise. Despite public assurances, X has not been complying with child safety protocols, not only recommending explicit content to designated teen accounts, but tailoring its algorithm to increase the amount of adult content shown to them.

Giving up beef five or six years ago was still one of the best decisions I've made. More definitely needs to be done to make vegetarianism easier to do though.

Trump take beef

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

The prayer in Pulp Fiction isn't from Ezekiel, but instead from a 1976 Sonny Chiba movie, "Karate Kiba." Only the last line is in the old testament. So, this is about as accurate as their citation of "just war theory"

Not only is the quote in Pulp Fiction not from the Bible, but it misses the whole point of the film where Jules realizes the quote means he should NOT kill people. Why is the GOP the party of nonexistent media literacy?

Kyivan Rus was much further rooted in Central Europe than the future Russia of Vladimir-Suzdal and Veliki Novgorod, and the thoroughness of Mongol conquest and reaching into Hungary and Poland was where the great shifts between the future Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians truly begins.

There is an Ottoman modernity narrative, to be sure, but I consider the real start of *global* modernity to be the Mongol Empire. It dismantled so utterly it's forgotten the world order that replaced it and laid the foundations of multiple modern states.

If you really wanted to make people mad you could point out that Al-Andalus and Rumelia are the major successes in Islamic settler-colonialism in Europe. One very consciously not-European, the other very consciously European-but-Muslim. www.worldatlas.com/history/how-...

🚨 BREAKING: 2 corporate sponsors of Trump's Freedom 250 have apparently dropped out. Mastercard and Deloitte, previously listed as sponsors of Freedom 250, are no longer on the list of sponsor companies. United Airlines is a notable addition to the sponsor list. Freedom250.org (left) is now 250.gov

Hundreds of Thousands of Americans through their votes and non-votes allowed for these two men to come into Government and cause incredible destruction and death both here and around the world. This is why-yes-you vote blue no matter who cause they vote red ‘til they’re dead…

ICE is arresting delivery drivers at a San Diego military base. According to an attorney interviewed by Kate Morrissey, military police at the gates call ICE on any driver who is not a citizen or green card holder, even if they have permission to be in the country. capitalandmain.com/ice-has-arre...

Remarkable that Ukraine isn’t hiding that the US is not their friend. Zelensky kept up the pretense for a while, acting like Trump sought peace despite seeing the pro-Russia shift. The change suggests not only no faith in the US, but also that they don’t need to keep up the show for Europe anymore.

GET THEIR ASSES

I would say a UN-approved attempt to prevent a totalitarian state from eating its sovereign neighbor was a just war, but maybe that’s just me.

He's moving on up... @xavierbecerra.bsky.social

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

What's your least favorite type of bike lane, mine is when they just paint a picture of a bike in the road, to remind drivers who to kill

Does Hasan realize he's not a member of the proletariat?

IN THE PROUD TRADITION OF WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY AT YALE!

Its already affecting South Africa in a big way.

Biden started, slowly, participating in a green renewable energy and Trump is throwing a lot of it away for stupid ways.

Sefrdom didn't exist in the 1930s either, dipshit, it had long since been abolished.

Yes they stole food, that's a documented thing. They deliberately denied aid and stopped anyone providing any.

There is no such thing as a naturally occuring famine cycle. Famines are manmade.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Biden should have done this in 2021.

These last few years have been pretty clarifying for my identity as an Atlanticist Liberal because the other alternatives out there really suck. Slava Ukrani!

Ahhh, the moral purity of condemning a Blackwater mercenary with a Nazi tattoo.

If anyone was interested, the definition of genocide in the UN Convention did not include extermination of a particular class, as devised by Lemkin, because of the USSR opposition. It would have made the Holodomor, extermination of UA farmers, a genocide. Stalin worried it would look bad, I guess.

Imagine defending the R-slur in 2026.

Sounds better in the original German. America First is also explicitly a pro-Nazi movement (they once filled the old Madison Square Garden in the 1930s in fact).

hoo boy is it never good when "soil" comes up, unless it's the gardening group chat

In 2020 you'd be looked at like a lunatic if you said that socialists would be promoting a white supremacist ex-Marine who's openly professed to voting Republican his entire adult life and who bragged about committing war crimes. In 2026 those are all considered positives by socialists.

I'm glad Platner supporters are plainly telling us they are Blue MAGA. Hopefully Maine rejects this flavor of MAGA as well.

Genuinely insane that Platner supporters are out here saying "yeah I like him because he's MAGA but left-coded, which is a good thing"
