ok. ukraine has been holding off russia pretty well alone. at this point, i think poland could solo them and walk into moscow relatively easily. why are we still buying a narrative of russia as this unbeatable superpower

People are really hung up on whether being glad this is starting to happen means you think the bad shits are good shits now. No! The celebration is that the bad shits now think the king bad shit gonna leave behind some bad shit for his princeling bad shits.
A lot of people are pointing out that this guy is no prince among men and that JPMorgan Chase has done some stuff, and right—that’s what makes it so notable that this guy thinks there will be accountability for this stuff in the future. He believes this is the *strategic* choice. That’s revealing.

people in my replies all ‘i’d take bush over trump’ now listen. i’ll look the other way on a certain amount of ‘hold your nose and vote blue’ foolishness. but nobody is making you do ‘hold your nose and grudgingly hand it to racist war criminals’
heard george w bush’s voice in the martin scorsese documentary for the first time in years and felt the exact same surge of involuntary hostility towards it that i always used to feel

I think that evolutionary psychology needs to face a cultural reckoning over the fact that its funding lines (Epstein-tied) coincide with a public history of advocacy for "its adaptive for men to have a harem full of nubile females"

These stories are deeply embarrassing always, but it's worth pointing out:
1) the "stranger things generation" would be people who started playing 10 years ago
2) Stranger Things was not the major motivation for the increased popularity of DnD
3) the vast majority of older fans *do not give a shit*

Looking forward to them setting up their own rival parties.

Feel very smug that my calling out the need for strong leadership policies and vision is required for this to work and this lack of clarity and decision making would just cause failure. They fucked it the moment they announced a party that cant even decide on a goddamn name
