yes he has the posters brain, and i love it, i just don't know if the armed forces of a nation should be represented by a 50 something year old with posters brain

And like yes, explaining how this stuff works should be part of your job as spokesman of the austrian army

one of todays highlights is "Do you seriously expect me to explain how million euro contracts work?" after someone asked him why it took 8 years between austria deciding to buy some helicopter and them finally performing their first flight as helicopters of the austrian army.

who sometimes post funfacts about austrias military history. But he just has extreme posters disease and can be lured into long, wayyy too long arguments and he also apparently barely has any oversight because he will just argue with people in his official position as spokesman of the austrian army

he mostly posts in german but he is very defensive of the austrian army and just the way he posts is just amazing to look at, because he often really doesn't realise that some of his posts make the austrian army look way worse than he intends to, not helped by the fact that he's a military historian

He's one of the public comms guys from the austrian army

I only just realised that one of austrias greatest posters (although not always on pupose) is on bluesky

i really genuinely do appreciate when people put pronouns in their emails and have trans pride stuff tbh

Yes, or at least not less than usually

life hack if you want ppl to be less weird about you being afghan dont say afghan instead just say your ethnicity. no one knows what the fuck a tadjik is or if they're one of the bad brown ppl

nobody on here or twitter who says listen to local voices is, for example, saying listen to Bahrainis when they cheer against their pro US dictatorship and for the missiles being lobbed at US military positions. Why? i thought we were listening to local voices about their yearning for democracy.

"listen to local voices" invariably means "listen to this one guy i found who agrees with me that bombing them is good for them"

I perceive Ctext as a specialist research tool (one I am hugely indebted to), so I never missed more comprehensive translations in the repository. I assume this step is supposed to address a non-sinologist target audience?

speaking as a someone in the daoist side of things I am equally delighted and concerned at this. Daoist texts have been translated via AI (eg the Northern Dipper Scripture deltoi.com/zh/anonymous...).

However this translation so far involved no input from daoist practitioners at all...

A sinologist's interpretation of a text can be at odds with a practitioner's interpretation- and it is this interpretation that is what the text means to most people. If we ignore it, not only are we bad scholars, but riding roughshod over an entire religious tradition.

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric.
So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

Gambling is so obviously loser behavior, I'm sorry

It's so embarrassing for our species that this is one of our problems

i'm very happy bluesky never officially gave its posts names because skeet is just a really stupid word

i really do think people overrate the rationality of actually existing capitalists

Iran is still paying for their 1950s sin of asking British Petroleum to pay fair market value for their oil.

Brits call the US…

CIA’s Operation Ajax overthrows the democratically elected parliament in Tehran and installs the Shah, one of the more brutal 20th century dictators.

75 years of this.
