Defence Scheme Enjoyer 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱🇲🇽🇵🇸

David Cochrane cooked him

surely he meant NATO, no one actually cares about medieval slavic history right?

"literally every single chance Putin gets to talk to Western leadership or journalists he goes on a history lesson about how Ukraine has always been a part of Russia and its existence as an independent state is a historical abberation" wow, what did he mean by this? Is he drunk?

How many times does history hour with Vladimir Putin have to happen before people realize that this obsession Russian leadership has with historiography of the region and how it relates to the Russian national mythos is something fundamental to their worldview

it low-key is pretty pathetic how servile many celebrities, artists etc. very willing to take Brave Stances in the westare when it comes to anything that pisses off Beijing.

this is just insanely damning stuff when you lay it all out democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

the actual reason is that the media likes Trump and wants to help him. They didn't like Hillary and they didn't like Biden and wanted to hurt them. That explains why Hillary's emails was covered as a nuclear-level scandal and "Trump is a violent rapist who is best friends with Jeff Epstein" isn't

Lotta Brad Bots still crying this morning

Given that Toronto‘s social media-savvy socialist mayor just won re-election by a larger margin than Zohran Mamdani won his mayoralty I’m sure any day now we will be getting a wave of articles about what we can and should all learn from Olivia Chow

Most of this is behavioral. Equity markets are doing several things at once. 1) shifting estimates for growth of profits 2) reflecting the biases of the people doing that estimating 3) responding to near-term price-insensitive buying/selling by the people that own them

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.

Dawg we are talking about 1966, no American white working man was suddenly getting left high and dry by deindustrialization or austerity or recession The only “radical shift in the material conditions” was “you have to let black people into your school/office/shop/apartment block now”

The problem with lot of Democratic eminences 2015-2024 is that they told themselves “I have a holistic perspective that allows me to resist the short-term demands of the crowd” but instead they’re simply moving lockstep with a DIFFERENT crowd, of Reasonable Adults in the Room.

It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.

Omg no, he was so young. Damn. He was such a talented voice actor. It’s on the mind because I literally just watched it yesterday, but he got asked to do the taken monologue as porky pig and its a masterpiece

as other people have said, they wouldn’t work so hard to kneecap democracy if it weren’t a powerful weapon against them

What the fuuuuuuck

Ever notice how you don’t really get any think-pieces whenever a bunch of left wing parties get elected all at once?

"we need more community input on building affordable housing, like Alicia Boyd screaming about how it will bring homeless people and shadows, or Vickie Paladino unleashing entirely new combinations of racial slurs."

It's funny how much of the commentariat has talked about how Canada can't decouple itself from the US. Sure - I don't think we'll ever see another country (or the EU) replace the US at the top of the list, but this kind of shift in such a short time is huge.

"The short-termism of universities burning through their social licence neatly parallels the roll out of the resource-hungry, carbon intensive data centres on which AI depends. In both cases, the underlying philosophy might be rendered as après moi, le déluge (after me, the flood)"

they did just drop a lana del ray taliban fancam though that also works annoyingly well x.com/ZaynabZaytoo...

Was really hoping I could get someone to post this for me smh

that said it is a bewildering shock to see a Star War actually engage with the stakes and circumstances of imperialism. have already begun viewing the show as Michael Clayton Wars

Alberta’s live reaction to the results in BC

The idea of ‘the 99%’ is among the worst things to ever happen to progressive political ideology

Meticulously zooming in on the units in a game set in a universe where like a billion people die every day in a forever war to check if theres no minorities has to be a unique flavor of mental illness for our time.

They want to convert the country into a museum dedicated to no time in particular

Remember men in the fed sector, if you are being hit on at the bar, it's a trap. You have zero game, only information.

she called him papi one time and it was over

Freedom of movement is the most fundamental human right; everything else is built on top of it. The 20th century was a campaign to smother that freedom and we should not let it win
