The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil (Mon Mothma, Andor). The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common (Adam Serwer). Sh*tposts and takes on politics, movies, culture, whatever.

28.02.2026 22:07 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Seems like this war comes down to how quickly Iran depletes its missile systems/how quickly they are destroyed. Once that happens Iran canβt do much outside its own borders. But until then lots of problems.

It's perfectly possible for Texas Dems to pull off a victory thanks to low Republican turnout, it's just not likely.
