Maybe it goes without saying, but all of the people (in particular the dockworkers) in Italy striking against the genocide in Palestine are fucking heroes. Every single one of them. Restoring just the tiniest shred of my faith in humanity. And if Spain and Italy actually protect the aid...

This is nuts. Constant scans is extremely dystopian and not only should not be done but actively outlawed.

@oneproudbavarian.bsky.social I don't know if you remember but way back when before I think Vicky 3 even released you were talking about generals having certain educations or doctrines. I always thought that was a good idea. Recently decided to make something somewhat like it.

Right-wing failures support right-wing fsilures.

Almost 2 years later now. It doesn't feel like that... I still miss her. Or at least who I thought she was. And it's not going away. Some days it's harder than others. Right now, I miss her a lot. Moments like this I wish I wasn't alive.

Just completed (and published) the trailer for my #Victoria3 mod called "Armed Forces Institution - Customizable Generals." youtu.be/T_F2PwpJrMg

Finally time to release the Armed Forces Institution mod I'd been working on for #Victoria3 today. I'm glad it's finally done. My first Vicky 3 mod. www.nexusmods.com/victoria3/mo...

They have become lib. Whiner of worlds.

Busy making a little bit of a new mod today.

Spent some time writing out some more of the lore of my novel today. Crazy to think I've been working on this lore for well over ten years now.

These kinds of people really, strongly emphasize the need for better education though. You can't cure stupid, so some of these people will inevitably exist, but most people should have this basic level of knowledge.

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

Alright, gather 'round, children. Time for a controversial take (I think, even though it shouldn't be). If you know me, you know I am very much a leftist. I am pro-gay rights, I am pro-trans rights, I am pro-women's rights, I am pro-workers rights. Most of my beliefs are pretty strictly leftist...

That is my concern. That it won't matter. That they'll just weaponize it regardless. Like the Reichstag fire.

oh these are moderate views on the right?

Just a reminder that there was also a multiple-person shooting at a high school in Denver today. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

I will never celebrate someone's murder. And I don't lack some empathy for the guy and even his kids. That stuff is horrible. That being said, few people have made it so hard to say that. He was an awful person who spread hate and destruction, who never showed so many the same empathy and who...

Donald Trump's Epstein birthday letter drawing is even weirder than i thought it would be

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

2 years ago, today exactly right now, I was laying in bed with my previous girlfriend. The day after I had gone to see her in a play. I still miss her. I miss that. Still.

Yes, cuz that has always worked every time it has been tried.

Now you C-D-See it, now you don't. @theonion.com

Thinking about black holes again. I'm not a physicist, so it's just for fun. But I was thinking about them as a constant collapse rather than a singularity. Where from an external POV the speed of collapse would decrease but never stop but hawking radiation's evaporation would be constant while...

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 24%. Millions live paycheck to paycheck as they struggle to afford basic goods. Is it any wonder why 70% of people said they believe the American dream no longer holds true or never did? www.wsj.com/economy/wsj-...

I don't really care very much about removing old monuments honouring terrible people but going out of your way to put back a racist monument when it's already gone is nuts.

I Crave a Kiss Laying in bed. About to go to sleep. Really craving someone to hold tight and give a passionate kiss to before going to sleep. Craving the wetness, the warmth, the closeness. I miss that. I wish I could have it again. But these days I wonder if I ever will.

We need to stop calling it "age verification," when it isn't that. It's identity verification, so call it that. More people will take issue with it whenever you call it that, because there're still a lot of people that don't realise that that's what it actually is.

Despite all of the moral panic I have yet to see any evidence that porn is in any way harmful to most people. And, no, one misinterpreted study cited by weird 0 fap people doesn't count.

Approximately 75% of all food imported into the U.S. will now be hit with the Trump tariffs. That's $163 billion worth of food currently facing tariff rates ranging from 10% to 30% or higher.

I hate Stalin. Not only was he a power hungry murderous psychopath, who killed untold numbers of people, but his actions also damaged socialism for a century. Because of him it became associated with tyranny and famine rather than emancipation. Stalin is the greatest gift capitalists ever got.

Don't like the numbers? Just fire the person responsible for gathering them. Trump's doing what every tyrannical regime has always done: wiping out the truth and replacing it with lies.

Wrote a new article today and published it on my free Substack. If you're interested, do give it a read. And if you like it, consider giving it a share. I appreciate both. risingtideliftsall.substack.com/p/cutting-un...

There is no particularly strong argument that I should stay alive.

There is a simple way to end the starvation in Gaza: let UNRWA aid trucks in! Some 6000 trucks are waiting just beyond the border with enough food to provide for the entire population of Gaza for three months. @marakronenfeld explains.
