This is insane

Worthy successors to all the Russians who lied for nearly 50 years about Katyn:

Irony of the day: Viktor Orbán defending the merit based accession with the Copenhagen criteria vis-a-vis Ukraine.

Doubtful whether Hungary today would meet the criteria of "stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities"

Insane what Americans did to world healthcare by simply voting for Trump

Musk is such an embarrassing idiot

i fucking hate this. if anyone else in the world had treated me like my parents did, people would be like “you’re so brave for speaking out.” but becuase my parents did it, i’m a monster and a villain for saying what happened and not forgiving them

Our culture places far too much significance on family, and pretends that a child disliking his or her parent is some kind of inherently sinful thing.

But no, the sin here is WHY I dislike my parents and why I cut off all contact. I don't owe my abusers my attention, no matter who the fuck they are

Because it’s easier to say this about Iran than about Gaza while both Iranians and Palestinians should be free

Which crimes did she commit?

I want drunks to stop creating problems, I don’t have a goal or will to fix their lives

the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it

There is a real strong relationship between hatred for Ukraine and hatred for women so seeing them in combo isn't surprising.

lmao this is the guy who called a Ukrainian woman an "ungrateful European Karen" for being mad that Trump and Witkoff are constantly sucking up to the Russians while posting from a bomb shelter

Sure but behavior of a drunk is a moral failing

Whenever you see someone talking about "retvrning to pre-industrial methods of agriculture" you need to bluntly ask them how many people should starve to death to serve this goal.

Being a drunk is not cancer though

"Girlboss" as an epithet was a load-bearing piece of the new societal consensus that women are inherently bourgeois and don't deserve power or status, and it needs reclamation stat before we truly return to monke on gender issues

One thing I do have a problem with re: Gen Z/Alpha is that I think there's a certain taken for grantedness on certain social gains that allows for right-wing subversion of politically disengaged normie types and hyper-leftists alike.

We need to rehabilitate the "girlboss" as a concept, seeing how it took approximately 2.5 seconds for us to go from deciding they were cringe to a rapeboss taking over the world.

This was literally where the proscription lists came from; people complained to Sulla that there wasn't any clarity as to who was getting arrested and executed, so he started posting public lists of the condemned so you knew who to turn in for a reward.

ngl, "we can't build a train that goes fast, on time, at a reasonable price" has done far far far more damage to elite legitimacy in developed democracies than some Yale professor saying "BIPOC"

I really like how “organizer” with this crowd is decoupled from anything that word could possibly mean in the actually existing English language and is instead repurposed to “whoever’s currently putting on the best show in the Performative Radicalism Olympics”

What does “Putin winning” actually mean?

It does not require tanks rolling into Kyiv.

It means:

•Ukraine is pressured into territorial concessions.
•russia keeps what it seized by force.
•War crimes go largely unpunished.
•The aggressor is rewarded with normalization, trade, and time to rearm.

„This week, Europe has a historic opportunity, and duty, to finally designate the Iranian regime's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation.“
