I write stuff and talk about restaurant stories a lot. Also I won’t shut up about the Mongolian Empire. He/him

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

I’m not saying it’s a bad game but Disco Elysium ranking this highly is something that can only happen in this specific online Petri dish
In 4th place, with 2271 points, is 2019's Disco Elysium

There is going to be at least one Disco Elysium fan reading this who suddenly decides they quite like First Past the Post after all

How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.

I hate crowds and the outdoors and generally being around other people but if I didn’t have a 6 month old to take care of every day I would be out there without hesitation
I get it now, why everyone rushed to enlist after Pearl Harbor.

Every video of ICE brutalizing people compels me to get out there. Every image of tear gas and now this new green really-fuck-you-up gas makes me feel like a coward for every minute I sit at home.

The complete failure of Democrats to resist the Trump administration in the first few months was written off as them buying into the fact that he had some kind of "mandate" from his popular vote victory. But now they know he's unpopular, and they still refuse to resist.

Democrats need to get more comfortable using terms like: paramilitary, state terror, secret police, occupation, and ethnic cleansing.

Then the hard part is that they actually need to take action commensurate with those threats.

Actually what I said was he was administratively capable and handled that part of the war well. He simply sucked at tactics but deserves credit for (unlike Hitler) ultimately accepting that fact
understand that had he been entirely hands off that would have been another point in favor of his incompetence, which also i find interesting that youve now pivoted to 'he WAS present but he sucked at his job.' by all accounts nothing youve said is true.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.

Next week is what will break you.
We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.
Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️
We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

Bidens job as President was first and foremost to protect the United States of America from enemies foreign and domestic and he fumbled the bag like none other before him. You could say, ultimately, he is the sole reason we are here. He was the only person who had the immense power to stop it.
SEOUL, Jan 13 (Reuters) - South Korea's special prosecutor on Tuesday requested the death penalty for former president Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024.
