New pro-russian talking point, spearheaded by Mearsheimer, is that Ukraine is landlocked, russia is winning but it also means nuclear war. Looks extremely organic and based on reality. Spot the grifter!

EA officially now owned by the Trump family, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and a cadre of private equity ghouls. Real race to the bottom in gaming these days

After a Russian missile fell on Polish territory, a notable Kremlin information manipulation pattern is now unfolding. First, Russian officials deny responsibility. Then, pro-Kremlin commentators question the investigation.
in the 1970's, the life expectancy for kids with cystic fibrosis was 15-20 years. today it's 65. in the 1970's, kids with acute myeloid leukemia had a 14% chance of making it 5 years. today it's 64% in 1960 the average life expectancy for kids born with Down Syndrome was 10 years. today it's 60.
Even healthcare is kind of a complicated case. In the past you were paying for treatments that didn't work, or sometimes not paying because no treatment was available. Yes, treating cancer costs a fortune... but fifty years ago, a lot of the time, the treatment plan was "wait for death"
Happy day before Mitch McConnell is pronounced dead to all those who celebrate.
2026: Die Unterscheidung zwischen rechtsextremer Politik, einem verschollenen Tim & Struppi Band und einer besonders schlechten Indiana-Jones-Parodie ist endgültig nicht mehr möglich.
Europeans who side with Russia today are doing the exact same thing as WWII collaborators who backed Hitler and Stalin against their own countries. Plain and simple, they are traitors
She was widely mocked for it, but this is what Pelosi meant when she said we need a strong Republican Party. Democrats won't and can't win every election, and it's just not sustainable if one of the two major parties is made up of nothing but incompetent fascists. 1/
Senior Republican congressional staffer on trying to recruit new policy experts: “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”
Yeah I think this would make me stand out from the crowd
oh my god
I think that I once opined that there isn't anything analogous in U.S. history to the inter service rivalries in Japan. But I've also said that the current administration is more comparable to Imperial Japan than other Quasi-Totalitarian States. cc: @sharonk.bsky.social @aelkus.bsky.social
Die größten Clowns sind die FPÖ-Bauern. Jahrelang die Klimakatastrophe leugnen, alle Maßnahmen dagegen torpedieren und jetzt nach dem Staat rufen und Geld fordern, da die Katastrophe da ist. Nein, sorry, ihr kommt jetzt bitte selbst klar. Irgendwo ist eine Grenze der Frivolität erreicht.
this is like my favorite genre of twitter screenshots if you have any good ones, PLEASE post below. we could all use a good laugh 🙏
can't even enjoy the irony of EA itself being swallowed in a grand acquisition by larger forces who do not care about it beyond its ability to be stripped for parts because ultimately the outcome will be the same; more jobs cut, livelihoods ruined, and art thrown onto a fire
'Electronic Arts Set to Close $55 Billion Go-Private Deal Next Week' "As of July 30, 2026, all regulatory approvals required to complete the Merger have been obtained. Electronic Arts currently expects the Merger to close on or about the close of trading on August 4, 2026."
I’m told everything is going according to plan, nothing to see here, this is “pragmatic realism” in action 🙄
Iran war has consumed nearly 67% of US Patriot interceptor stockpile, report says
Much like Rogan I don’t think either of their comments are sincere, but it is a useful metric of how they’re reading the winds that they are publicly retreating from being such overt Trump supporters to becoming the “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” types of the post-Bush years
We should really find out who was president in 2020 so we can get to the bottom of this
Aside from its many other problems, the idea Fauci was America's power-abusing covid dictator is somewhat complicated by the fact that he never had the power to do the things they're mad about. His recommendations bound nobody and were not particularly rigorously followed by the actual policymakers.
French police have ordered the expulsion of pro-Kremlin propagandist Xenia Fedorova. “Her behaviour undermines the fundamental interests of the State” and her presence in France “constitutes, for this reason, a particularly serious and current threat to public order.”
Xenia Fedorova, ancienne patronne de Russia Today France, vit et travaille dans l’Hexagone depuis dix ans. Son avocat s’est vu remettre un arrêté ministériel d’expulsion ce mercredi 29 juillet. ➡️ https://l.liberation.fr/BOl
update: he DID jump into our house through an open window and tried to eat our cat's food. he jaunted out of the window like peter pan when I confronted him
my brother, we live on the top floor, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be out there
You should read this as a warning. There aren't any fuel shortages. Therefore there aren't any food shortages caused by the fuel shortage that isnt happening. So you're warned not to protest for solutions to problems that do not exist.

I stand by everything I said previously. At least with a major bank I know there is oversight, deposit insurance, and regulation for things like anti-money laundering.
