18.11.2025 01:28 β π 50 π 4 π¬ 1 π 0The difference between this corruption scandal and those under Yanukovych seems, to me, to be that in this case the Ukrainian government institutions seemed like they had the independence necessary to investigate and charge incumbent office holders even when the gov't may have preferred they didn't

17.11.2025 20:50 β π 190 π 35 π¬ 4 π 4It's a speech against social democracy, *for* capitalism, rejecting progress, embracing tradition, and in making it Quark comes to embody the Federation as he turns down profit in favor of his own ideals.
18.11.2025 05:36 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This is totally unrelated but the great thing about Quark's final speech in DS9 is that it is a right wing, down right reactionary speech... that is also Quark at his most Federation.

18.11.2025 05:27 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0lots of women thirst after monstrous creatures, whether it's the Ghoul from Fallout, the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, or RFK Jr.
18.11.2025 04:44 β π 255 π 33 π¬ 5 π 5I think the Sanford thing has obscured that there's just layers and layers of crazy promised in that Lizza post, including "She orchestrated a plot with the help of a senior Trump official to try to have me imprisoned."
18.11.2025 04:56 β π 588 π 55 π¬ 23 π 2I recall hearing about the scandal in the broad strokes. Had no idea what his name was tho.

I have not doubt that many people turn to quack cures and placebos in search of an alternative to evidence based medicine they can't afford, but simply adopting a single payer system doesn't seem like a cure-all to the problem www.cbc.ca/radio/frontb...
