Ya know on some level I do understand Jeffries and Schumer acting like utter cucks because 77,302,580 sapient human beings of their own free will walked into a booth or mailed in a slip and asked for this specifically by name and dealing with those feels much like dealing with rabid coyotes

⚡️Update: Russia's mass attack damages 9 houses, 14 apartment buildings in Zaporizhzhia. "Insidious tactics, an inhuman thirst for human suffering," Regina Kharchenko, acting head of the Zaporizhzhia City Council, said the morning after the attack. kyivindependent.com/russia-launc...

Incredibly funny things are about to happen...

Complete capitulation by the elite sector of society to a guy pushing medbeds on social media

We got the uhhh transgender brazilian tankie in the mentions going to bat for Stalin

Many of you don’t want to hear this but the liberal international order currently rests upon the shoulders of a Ukrainian Comic and a former AQI insurgent

There never was a Russia hoax - essentially everything Russia is accused of wrt the far right it is guilty of, and more

Putin not Musk is probably the richest man on earth but that only makes the point stronger — control of media by oligarchs leads to folly, fascism, and war

PSL is like that too. it essentially runs on sexual violence

This person is - and I mean it literally, not figuratively - a Meta product. Their obvious cognitive limitations are the goal.

the brain of the median voter needs to be studied for science

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

Former Reform UK leader Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty to eight counts of taking payments from ex-MP Oleg Voloshyn in return for scripted pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament. Voloshyn is facing trial in Ukraine for treason and is under US and EU sanctions. Gill was released on bail.

People who mock football etc as “sportsball” need to understand that it’s an important bulwark against that terrible outcome. Community, fun, and a stand in for getting your boys together and cruising the street for someone to kick the shit out of.

idk, I think Frank’s basic thesis of “we will become a horde of bored nihilists who tear each other apart like rabid chimps for something to do” holds up pretty well when people’s response to witnessing a murder is to live stream it and remind you to like, comment, and subscribe.

This really is all that needs to be said in response to Matt Walsh's sputtering bucket of lies and racism:

Trump announced that he’s directing federal troops to Portland. Portlanders look after each other, and that’s how we’re going to overcome these threats.🧵 ✅Report suspected federal agent sightings to PIRC’s hotline (1-888-622-1510) instead of spreading rumors on social media.

Time travelling to 1790 and putting an Irish Catholic peasent, Arab Orthodox merchant and a Turksh Sunni Court offical before George Washington and asking him which of the three is white.

right, yeah, that's the thing about Losurdo: it is almost entirely an examination of sources from before the opening of the Soviet Archives.

to be honest a bunch of the founders would have probably been less concerned by "mohammadans" than irish catholics like walsh

Thermostatic public opinion rules everything around me

Can’t emphasize how good it is to have moral clarity on issues that are clearly night and day. Some stuff? Complicated. But the stuff that isn’t? Gosh. It’s nice to not clown yourself, to look back and know you weren’t doing genocide apologia.

the reason i have no patience for tankies or other people who are apologists for the bolsheviks is because i’ve read what other socialists and communists said about them at the time and it’s clear what distinguished them from everyone else was unrelenting proto-edgelord bloodlust

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Sources tell @reuters.com's Maya Gebeily that talks on Syria-Israel security agreement became stuck after Israel reintroduced demand for Suweida "humanitarian corridor" that would infringe on Syrian sovereignty: www.reuters.com/world/middle...

🧐

It is very, very hard to watch all this and not wonder if at least some symmetrical pain inflicted might give pause

really just the ultimate distillation of the tankie project: communism is dead, and liberalism killed it, and to avenge it, we must pile corpses so deep that that liberalism drowns

#UkrainianView The Russians are publicly posting footage of their MLRS attacks on residential areas of Kherson. This openness represents a new level of Russian terrorism. Previously, they claimed that it was not them, or that it was the Ukrainian air defence forces operating in this manner.🔽

CHAZ had plenty of good people who hated cops for the right reasons, several of which are and were my friends, but they sadly let a cult leader/SoundCloud rapper with a harem of women who shaved their heads to prove their loyalty show up with a trunk full of guns and dub himself the head of security

Stalin's explicit price was allowing the USSR to seize Poland, and he was negotiating with the Nazis concurrently.

i made this one like five years ago on housing twitter and i hate how often it comes up

This is Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces commander and this image is from his unit’s official account

Pro-war Russian athletes push for 2026 Olympic participation in Italy. 🧵 1/11 ⬇️

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Stalin had almost all of the Old Bolsheviks murdered, then murdered their murderer. Zhukov thought that the blood of the Soviet patriots who died defending the USSR against fascism was on Stalin's hands. Khrushchev denounced him to the Presidium. Mikoyan thought he was a drunk coward.

you are looking at an order for the execution of twenty-two thousand people. that number is enumerated specifically in the document. you are shitting your pants in public over and over and over again and lack the ability to even be ashamed of it.

You are defending Lavrentiy Beria

the soviets trying to pin this one on the nazis is why we had nurmburg trials, originally the us and uk just wanted summary execution

this is the memorandum from Lavrentiy Beria ordering the Katyn massacre, bearing Stalin's signature. it was taken from the Soviet archives and published by the Russian government in 2010, accompanied by an admission of guilt.

The ozempic nuke

Reminder that James Comey is more than any one man the reason Donald Trump is President.

Kerensky: in accordance with Trudovik thought and after consultations with the Kadets, we will be expropriating the finances of delivery drivers Lenin: *curls fist* leave… the delivery drivers… alone!

You call yourself a socialist yet you sound like a Russian liberal

Amusing to see people simultaneously say that nobody actually cares about Palestine because no one is brave enough to so something substantial and the Sumud Flotilla is performative and proof that nobody cares about Palestine
