Who would have thought 30 years ago, that south Africa would be a moral leader

Oh you mentioned a pet peeve of mine. Russia uses outdated coldwar weapons but the US supplies 40 year old top of the line weapons.

'Trump’s win was the triumph of capitalism and neoliberalism'

A mainstream celebrity calling Trump a neoliberal... Be still my heart

Suzuki saying 'Can you have a peaceful revolution?' is a canary in a coal mine

What kind of monster is against trying to make kids feel welcome?

Buddy was elected with an elbows up.... And this is his first real diplomatic outcome

This is the only place I know where leftists congregate, and their only things in common are antiimpetialist, and far left of center. Which has a lot of actual difference of opinion (anarchist, and communist is pretty deep theory with a ton of different factions) so is this place an actual echo chamber because if I admit that ideologically I'm an anarchist doesn't that mean I'm inviting a dog pile?

If his track record of central banker and his first 2 months continue to hold, he's going to go down as one of the worst ever

I've heard that they're talking about by 2027. I heard it on a podcast, but the guy seemed to have a lot of bad takes, so I'm not sure how credible it was

Could the information about the letter being handwritten be a subtle way to make Khamenei appear more backwards, or even out of this era?

My thought was that it was a signal that it was coming directly from him.

Tucker Carlson had an analyst that was very negative towards the escalation

That would be a big win for those countries. I'm curious what the implications would you be though. Like what would the US do in response

I listened to it earlier. Between him and the radio war nerd, I feel like I'm well informed

It sounds like grime from not washing

There's boats of people that could easily be saved that are instead left to drown. Is there a real difference between that and shooting them?

I'm a big fan of frozen vegetables. Even freezer burnt are edible. They don't really go bad, and can be thrown in with potatoes, ramen, or anything else

The real reason he was ostracized

That's pretty interesting. It sounds like it's a tactic that will be difficult to counter. It also sounds horrible. Effectively it's, kill everyone and then take the land.

I read the comic a while ago. Right after the last issue of the walking dead, I looked into Kirkmans catalogue, and thoroughly enjoyed invincible. The story journey is a lot of fun. He plays with a lot of comic tropes. The worst part is that he doesn't quite nail the ending. I won't get into spoilers, but everything is set up for a much better ending, but he goes with a common trope. So it's doubly disappointing.

When I was younger I was taught about purposeful speech. Essentially, will what I'm saying make the world better? Who the fuck thought this was appropriate to send out? It's made my day objectively worse. I'm assuming many others as well.
