she's not like that usually she just got possessed by the spirit of Tim Heidecker

Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o... skyscrapers are always a bit phallic but it cannot be overstated how the development of Warsaw's skyline post-1989 has been about an increasingly neurotic dick-waving contest with the ghost of Stalin, entirely undisguised by the participants

Poland looks to economic heights in a country transformed since Soviet days

In the final part of our series on the country, Poles tell how wages have soared – along with the cost of living

well it's very likely that neither does the Russian General Staff, but it wouldn't be the first time that a catastrophic misinterpretation of the other side's intentions led to all-out war

Mitchell Horton@jarlent.bsky.social · 12h ago

I really don't understand this idea that Russia, who can't seal the deal with Ukraine, is somehow going to open a second, larger front, against multiple, better equipped and more entrenched enemies

generally love shitting on Jacobin, but beyond being fairly surface-level and mildly rhetorically unbalanced, this article isn't atrocious. That it triggers such a response is more down to the widely-held belief that continuing the war at any cost until the defeat of Russia is the only moral stance

Jacobin@jacobinmag.bsky.social · 16h ago

After years of warnings that the war in Ukraine could spiral into a full-on Russia-Europe conflagration, the conflict has reached a point where this is a real possibliity. It’s a prospect that threatens not just European lives but the entire globe.

nowhere does the old joke of "we communists predicted 12 of the last 3 economic crises" apply more than in the case of Ed Zitron and other such tech journalists who grossly overdetermine the weight of the contradictions at the heart of AI and its financing model

I don't think so. CharacterAI was a dead man walking since August 2024. CoreWeave keeps going through these cycles. The timing of CharacterAI officially giving up the ghost and CoreWeave experiencing one of their regular downturns seem unrelated

between this and CharacterAI it does feel like Something Is Happening

the most embarrassing thing about my addiction to videogames is that I suck at videogames

that's Al Gore of my comfort character

Intactivists are so funny. Attacking an objectively weird and stupid thing in a way that makes them seem so much weirder and stupider

maybe the collapse of PiS is down to how it's become obsolete (the centrists picked up all of their authoritarian tendencies with none of the social provisions or Catholic moralism)

the polish ministry of the interior wants to jail people for three years for the crime of helping a migrant stay warm or giving out soup. sometimes i hate this fucking country

one more mention of kintsugi and I'm breaking a bowl over somebody's head then putting it back together with lacquer mixed with powdered gold

sorry but having strong feelings about egon schiele in high school is basically a 100% accurate indicator for being gay

I used to collect Hot Wheels cars as a kid. There's some sort of promotion going on in Portugal. I was on the fence until I encountered Pedal Driver of the Rod Squad

estro is the one skincare routine for me that works

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄@goddessblade.bsky.social · 2d ago

Why did you transition? Right answers only

something that I neglected to mention is that I accidentally bumped into memorials to 2 absolute stinkers while in Marseille: Alexander I of Yugoslavia, tinpot despot shot by an IMRO militant in the city, commemorated as having died "for liberty", and a little church plaque dedicated to Léo Taxil

in my head this is how I'd appear if I tried lesbianism on an app, and the main reason I am not trying is I'm basically anxiously pre-empting transphobia

Zoe TunnHELL ➡️ NYCC@zoewithasword.bsky.social · 3d ago

The fact that this profile is on HER, the sapphic dating app for women and non-binary folks that is LITERALLY CALLED HER, sums up what it is like being on any sort of app as a lesbian in 2026

In Portugal in addition to the mall cops every so often you'll get actual cops assigned to a mall, walking side-by side, blocking you from walking to the fucking cash register because they have to walk as slowly as possible while taking up as much space as possible

We help the Ukrainians blow up the Russian treat warehouses, the Russians cyberattack our treats in revenge, now nobody gets next day shipping on anything. Thank you Vladimir Vladimirovich Degrowth

mélenchon often leans into megalomania and grandiose, sweeping statements (whether it's a rhetorical flourish necessary for survival in french politics, or a reflection of genuine proclivities is not fully known to me) but the current round of Sensible Moderate outrage at the man is delicious to me

(looking at a kiwi bird) it's so cool that evolution has made so many creatures look so fucking goofy and has given us the faculties to appreciate it

hate QTing a slop account with an AI pic but I used to say "my dream is to be a retiree" because the 7yo dipshit that I was thought they were real fucking smart. "I don't dream of labour 🤓" get a life

I would have been an astronaut

if I hear anyone talking about cortisol, endorphins, or oxytocin I'm just gonna assume that they're talking bullshit unless they give ample, peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary. If they talk about pheromones I'm gonna assume they're talking bullshit regardless of what they say or do

look I overshare on the internet a lot but you couldn't force me to tell you if I ever took the wrong side re gamergate, no matter the age I might've been. You don't, in fact, have to expose yourself as being or having been a moron

much like your ghosting@mlyp.bsky.social · 3d ago

They make Pro-Gamergate Bluesky users now

homosociality is one helluva drug because these guys will fetishise masculinity in ways much more byzantine than the kinda guy who'd lick the sweat off of a construction worker

Phillip Maciak@pjmaciak.bsky.social · 3d ago

"If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership?" This is very much in the Platnerian mode that presumes all men are only attracted to content by, for, and possibly about Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor. jacobin.com/2026/10/lone...

Tusk after a week of stoking paranoia: time to cap it all off with air raid drills

is there actually any support for raphaël glucksmann outside of raphaël glucksmann and his friends writing in domestic and foreign journals about raphaël glucksmann

had a dream that I could vote in Brazilian elections and could do the worm with my eyebrows

I got honked at by car for a justified reason yesterday and I don't think I'll ever recover emotionally
