The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Attempts by filmmakers to address the internet-induced cultification of Americans are laudable, but in an age where some of the wildest conspiracy theories are being proven true, even the most entertaining efforts are failing to meet the moment.

One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline.
I think this has not been adequately metabolized.

The Polish government annlunced that they will honour the ECJ ruling and implement recognition of same-sex marriages certificates from abroad.
Obviously, the PiS-supported president is very much against, but he has no say in the matter.

That's better news than I expected and hopefully means marriage equality has a chance to become a reality in Poland through a backdoor. Which would be an extremely Polish way to solve things, and I'm not proud of that, but I guess there's no changing that until the left polls at a combined 20%+.

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.
