Explaining to children that they shouldn't worry about a career because the world will be completely unlivable in 15 years and that death will be a sweet relief from living in a nuclear wasteland is probably the hardest part of working at Build-a-Bear

~1000 casualties/day including ~200 dead are a small & perfectly tolerable price to pay (~1300 men die in RU every day) for their imperialism.. & noting men's life expectation ~70 years and average soldier age ~40, not much is wasted for the oligarchs in moscow... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogra...

The UN has got to move the HQ to Geneva though. This regime can't be counted on to grant visas or otherwise be an honest host.

We've been headed in this direction for a long time, with the quality of elected officials becoming increasingly inept, corrupt, venal, or a combination of all three. Unfortunately, they reflect their voters. H. L. Mencken has quotes for most occasions. This one fits our current situation perfectly.

Donald and Melania Trump met with the Royal Family at Windsor Castle today – and it's undoubtedly been an eventful gathering thus far.

I miss him. Still one of my heroes. He spoke truth to power without flinching, even when it cost him everything. He believed in a better future—for Russia, for all of us. The kind of courage that leaves a hole when it’s gone.

Not a word, but a photo.

Literally true👇🏼

on #genocide : for effective ethnic cleansing monsters always go after fertile women and girls.. damaging demographic survival.. exactly as ISR forces are doing.. simple military tactic.. horrible but true...

on #tariffs : -applied to protect locals from: -- "unfair" pricing (rarely), -- competition (often).. -important source of govt revenue.. -economic war weapon.. some effects: -boosts inflation.. -reduces trade volume.. -economy loses competitivity drive.. end result: structural economic damage...

IMHO this invites debate on human "sophistication"...
