It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

“Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil on the planet. For years, I was BBC Television’s correspondent covering Venezuela & US attempts to overthrow their elected government. Trump invented nothing. This is at least the 4th US-backed attempt at overthrow & assassination of a Venezuelan president”

ugh

We're going to need a bigger Hague.

Time to dust this one off again

If you live in a country with any kind of diplomatic relationship with the US (psst that's almost all of them) I encourage you to write to your elected representative and let them know you're very angry about this.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

It never ends at just replacing the head of state. Did literally anyone in the U.S. face consequences for this genocide? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatema...

I'm from Guatemala, I can tell you, even being young, the scars left in the wake of american intervention were clear. I didn't know the first thing about it, at that age, but the trauma is collective and present in every family, some form or another. All for what, fucking, bananas

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

First amd foremost deep sympathy and solidarity with the people of Venezuela. They have suffered terribly under US sanctions and will suffer worse as the US attacks and attempts to occupy their country, either directly or via puppet. No human deserves that.

The U.S. has an extensive and bloody history of forcing regime change in Latin America, which is what makes this a continuation rather than an exception. But the lack of obfuscation involved is pretty stunning. They’re trying to equate this to acting on a warrant internal to the U.S.

The moderate position is indeed The Hague

"What have we become" the same shit that you always were tbqh

Polymarket must be destroyed.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Please put the US under sanctions. Cancel the LA Olympics. No international conferences.

I know just RT'd that call your reps thing, which you should do as a US citizen, but I gotta say this is certainly a very fair sentiment to hold

You don't have to give a big speech. They're counting numbers - seeing how many constituents care enough to call in. Just tell them to impeach for this illegal war. Also, make sure you only call YOUR reps - they don't care about out-of-district calls. You can do this. It'll just take a minute. 💪

You can find your US reps and senators here: reps.fyi If you call now, you'll get an answering machine and you can leave a message. A great thing to do if you're nervous about talking to someone. Just give your name, your zip code, and demand they impeach Trump for illegally invading Venezuela.

The end of the American Empire can't come soon enough

will the international community do anything about the US state kidnapping the head of a sovereign state? do they give a shit? will anyone with power do anything anywhere? does anything matter or did the world just end decades ago? will anything happen?

i feel sorry for all the people living in the US who are under the control of their murderous government. the kidnapping, murder, and brutalization doesn't only happen outside of the country.

i don't know what to say other than that i really, really hate how violent and murderous the US is. everyone has to surrender to the US or everyone dies. why the fuck have we ever considered them anything close to an ally? they've made it explicitly clear now that we are all potential enemies

Britain and the EU need to bite the bullet and start talking about America no differently to Russia or China

yet again remembering senator chris murphy admitting right in public on twitter that we tried to coup venezuela in trump's first term and he was talking about this not to condemn it but to bemoan how trump bungled the job and embarrassed the US

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

So the US "Peace President" is now randomly bombing a foreign country with the goal of stealing its oil Cool world we live in, especially with international law being a completely useless paper tiger. Hopefully one day the engineers of all this will be treated like they want to treat others

remember, you the consumer must demand quality food if you willingly consume the slop, they will continue to feed you it

actual quote from a language company executive: “Why should we pay for higher quality translations when people will happily pay us for poorer quality translations?”

Figured I'd post one of these too - my 2025 work as a digital producer for manga. 35 full books across 3 publishers, plus 20 shorter comics. Lotta other work beyond these too but this is the stuff I get credited for!

Happy 2026 from Finland! Time for the first sleep of the year 💤

It's very recent but honestly can't think of anything else from this year that would top someone who's had me blocked for years calling me a "stupid chud with few to no [JP-EN media] industry connections". For reference, I am a vocal leftist and a well-connected JP-EN media industry pro of 10+ years

New static bike tech discovered: there's a holder on the handlebars that I can place my tablet on, which means I can read lightnovels while exercising. Static bikes really are a cheat code for fun home cardio huh

So we bought a robot vacuum from a sale at the end of November and after a lot of shipping delays etc finally got it set up and running at our home and it's crazy how cute the thing is when it's rolling around doing its vacuuming. Anthropomorphism machine in the brain goes brrr just like the vacuum

Small follow-up on this: After subtitle headers exposed Crunchyroll's use of AI service Ollang for dub closed captions, a lot of episodes were released with manually "scrubbed" subtitle headers like this. Most likely an order came from above about it, giving further credence to Ollang use being real

"brexiteers"? oh you mean eurodivergent people

Friendly reminder for anyone who makes YouTube videos to make sure you disable auto-dubbing and whatever the "quality enhancements" are. These got enabled automatically after I already disabled them some weeks ago....
