Thanks!

I remember him vividly from my undergrad and MA. I am sure he would have had things to say about *waves at everything*

Sudan siege ends in bloodbath despite pleas for mercy Evidence emerges of atrocities committed by the paramilitary RSF after it seized control of El Fasher

"Nathaniel Redmond, director of the Yale school of public health, said on Tuesday that the “horror, scale and velocity of killing” in El Fasher had left pools of blood visible from satellites"

Pity the West simply does not have any tools to pressure UAE, which is the RSF's main funder and supplier

Thanks. I can imagine the reaction

Where was it?

That special smell of Totenkopf in the morning

I would have loved to live in this Soviet Union. Unfortunately, only the actually existing one was available

the Sudan Solidarity Collective has partners in El Fashir distributing aid. give what you can

Grave fears for civilians after Sudanese paramilitary claims capture of El Fasher RSF says it has seized control of army’s main base in Darfur, home to famine-stricken displacement camp

I am old enough to remember people in the West and especially college students, actually giving a damn about Darfur. Now, nobody gives a shit. I have no idea why, it's not like there is a legal limit on the number of conflicts and massacres one can care about, Gaza or Ukraine are not an excuse.

Indeed, how dare you?!

Yes. But Tigray was always under the radar. Darfur was not, it is the change of attitude and attention that shocks me

Into the void

It is important to know that no matter what happens in the world, there are still reliable horseshoes you can always count on

Yep. I mean, it's not like I am a fan of people with Nazi tattoos/symbols in either UA or the US but consistency among the Jacobin crowd would have been nice

I think it will outlive us all

I am old enough to remember these very people being totally OK the Russian invasion because there were politicians with Nazi symbols in Ukraine.

Maybe that's how we get the US government to start patching up roads, opening up schools, building hospitals, fixing sanitation etc. If we are lucky we might even end up having competitive elections

Can't wait for the stage where the federal government starts doing "hearts and minds" in the country's major cities.

I had no idea. Did they vote for him?

It's too bad, I am sure Putin just found a footnote in an overlooked 13th century Byzantine account of Kipchak hunting rituals that would finally convince everyone that Ukraine belongs to Russia and was so ready to share it with the President

Yes, including an opportunity to not comment

You think here they need a psychologist as well?

Yet another media request asking to speak on the relations between Trump and Zelensky. Dozens after every meeting. Still waiting to see when, instead of asking a political scientist to talk about Trump-Zelensky they finally realize they need a psychologist talking about Trump's relations with Trump.

Yep

Why not both?

That's because there is no History Nobel Prize

Yep, it might, God forbid, even invade and take Kyiv in 3 days. Very worrying.

I reconciled myself to the former, still terrified of the latter
