I'm autistic and my special interest is dark political shit. This is my time to shine before I combust. 🔥

One of my Roman Empires is how some of the evidence justifying the Iraq war came from a guy who described the string of pearls thing from The Rock under torture and said Saddam had one.

The Rock movie plot 'may have inspired MI6 source's Iraqi weapons claim'

Chilcot report into Iraq war tells how intelligence agency feared a source’s information had been lifted from Hollywood thriller featuring Nicolas Cage

Reddit is shadowbanning a pop culture sub called Fauxmoi. Admin isn't giving the mods a clear answer, they just say the content is 'sensitive' and refuse to elaborate further. The implication is that comments deemed too left wing and/or mods are queer/female/PoC get censored by Reddit admin.

Can someone pls ELI5 why an upper middle income member of NATO that hosts multiple US military bases has to burn through its own defense budget fending off Russian drones? How is the US and/or NATO helping? These aren't rhetorical questions.

Romania spent about €1.5 million in three days shooting down three Russian drones It's the exact cost trap Ukraine spent two years escaping next door, driving its cost-per-intercept down with cheap interceptor drones, machine-gun fire groups, and old cannons euromaidanpress.com/2026/07/28/r...

The article is originally from The Telegraph. They could have framed it as 'the bar for educational research is the floor'. Instead they put a picture of a black autistic man on the front and blamed DEI. This is so irresponsible. Fuck The Telegraph.

Cambridge’s diversity poster boy in plagiarism row

When Jason Arday became a Cambridge professor at the age of 37, he was lionised by the academic world and became a poster boy for the university’s diversity drive.

In Norway, there's massive peer pressure for *every* boy to join the local football club. This unspoken rule does not exist for girls. If you haven't lived there, it's difficult to describe the unspoken rules of social conformity, but it's a beast.

I have seen four or five columns trying to claim that Norway’s innovative youth sports approach is responsible for their World Cup success. And it is one of the truly least ball knowing arguments you can make. Tellingly not one being made by anybody who paid attention to soccer before this month.

How else was Stephenson meant to clarify that the protagonist was a delivery boy in 80s cyberpunk?

Opening up a judgement free zone but what's the smallest thing that discouraged you from entering into a vast cultural landscape that others have found vastly rewarding. Mine was discovering that the hero/protagonist of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash was called Hiro Protagonist.

I almost got heat stroke at a summer music festival with a similarly shit water setup because the queue to get water was too long. People will die.

Authorities are imposing a limit of “one bottle of water per person” for attendees on the DC Mall. This is on July 4, when the temp will exceed 100 degrees. Checkpoints open at 1 pm. Fireworks don’t start til after 1030 pm. Good luck to our EMS friends. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
