look, anyone can sing kumbaya while looking out for their neighbors in an arctic freeze with armed and hostile agents of the state breathing down their neck. it's the anonymous posters advocating violence who do the real work.

147 Swiss guards died delaying an attack by 20000 mercenaries on Rome, long enough for the Pope to get to safety. That’s why they still guard the Pope, and that’s why they still wear the early modern uniform. This is not a singular event in Swiss military history.

It’s still wild to me that someone who is in contact with the president of Argentina thought Europeans wouldn’t go into sicko mode over a remote place where only a few people live.

Post a picture you took. Just a picture. No description. (But, preferably with alt text, for the people who need it.) (Don’t be weird to people who didn’t post alt text, though. Please.)

What he is trying to say is that it was two billiard seconds, give or take a few billion, since the dinosaurs went extinct.

You don’t like AI because it’s shit, unethical, uneconomical, bad for the future of our species and planet. I don’t like AI because it is a cybergothic nightmare, unliving things reshaping life to their liking, aided by hapless, bug eating fools. We are basically the same.

Imagine losing your logistics and operations hub for half the planet over some chucklefucks talking about stealing an island that’s dark for six months.

You dress up like an operator because you want to look cool, I dress up like one sometimes because big light bright and loud. We are not the same.

You’re either a nomad at heart or you’re not. If you’re not, you’re as good as dead already.

Man, as a kid I liked that thing, now all I see is its obvious urge to devour souls.

Since the US government keeps threatening an EU and NATO member, is it time to close down American bases in Europe? It’s not like they would defend us in case of a Russian attack.

Hold up. Americans don’t even have a right to resist anyone trying to dismantle their constitutional order? Weird.

The only way to make this lack of a plan dumber is to ask Paul Bremer to run the country.

The best time to start quoting Von Tresckow’s last words at every occasion was eighty one years ago, the second best time is now.

Because the asshole shitting on every kitchen table in the street, including his own, gets to decide who’s a good neighbor.

They used delta force because the seals would have stolen so much cocaine, the chinooks wouldn’t have made it back.

Stranger Things, the real wormhole is the Duffer Beothers crawling up their own asses along the way.

So the shady ship being shadowed by Russian military vessels when it sank was doing shady stuff? I’m shocked.

“But NSDAP member and officer of the Allgemeine SS Werner Von Braun WAS an immigrant.” Is, all things considered, a pretty funny rebuke to a Nazi’s stupid lies.

Sometimes the simple "it never made any fuckin sense" explanation is the right one.

Cyberpunk 2077, a game mostly about motorcycle stunts.

Johnny Silverhand’s hippy grandpa, the John Wick films as a prequel to Cyberpunk 2077. A video essay. (Runtime 3:49:53) Presumably.

Building new battleships was a dumb idea in the 40s, now it’s just really funny. They’re really implementing Nazi economic ideas. (Build stupid shit for no other reason than the main guy being obsessed with large things.)

Oh, so the guy who beat a legend recently was himself beaten by a handsome opponent whilst looking like a cowardly loser? Allegedly it’s not a pro wrestling work, it just has all the components of a classic heel story.

French bakery [derogatory]

Mick Foley remains one of the greatest professional wrestlers.

A person with the personality of a corporation.

The cookie is evil, the coal is good.

Flashbacks to February 2022, when I went from “the Russians aren’t this stupid” to “oh shit they’re going to do it in weeks” because I saw a video of a hospital unit on a train with refrigerated containers. Moving CSAR units is really bad news.

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔 But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️ If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

Shit day at work? Hanabie.

It’s Klemmbausteine.

In their quest to do all manner of Nazi stuff, but weirder, the administration has found their own Antiqua-Fraktur-Streit.

Haven’t watched Love Lies Bleeding in weeks. Like, eight entire weeks.

I didn’t expect to like watching someone eat this much.

The Anabasis can be abbreviated to “went to war with Spartans in charge. It went as expected.”

This medal? Yeah, that’s the peace price my mother gave me for pooping like a big boy. I was the proudest 19 year old in the world on that day.

It’s been decades since a dead guy won the championship. Just sad.

What if you made peace and no one came, because they know you’re full of shit?

Seen the video. It is impressive that he manages to be the biggest prick in this whilst walking around with Logan Paul.

If the trend continues there will be a team called Renault every other race by Monaco 2030.

I didn’t know they made an imperial boomerang that big.

“You will be haunted by three specters” The specters:

Stumbled upon a weird cottage industry of American people on YouTube reacting to German playgrounds. It’s weird how normal things are weird to people from the outside.

I have seen proof that the French government has tasked the traffic enforcement squad of the municipal police of Cannes with my assassination. Just in case anything happens to me.

“Jon! The walkers are coming.” “I’m on the toilet.” “Again?” “Still. Also, turn off the big light.”

It’s happening.

I will not be getting Europa Universalis 5. Not because it is another half baked Paradox DLC shitshow, but because they did not include all the free imperial cities. Oh, so you can play as Constance, but not Pfullendorf or Überlingen. Not even the ghastly Buchhorn.
