слава україні! well balanced: acerbic *and* caustic listening post for @mawhrin.fedi.circumstances.run (follow that one). polish, socialist, luddite, no longer in ireland. physician by education, sysop by trade.
so this: blacksky.community/profile/did:... is pure bullshit written by someone who has absolutely no idea what they write about.
You can't understand Russia if you don't know the "Third Rome" doctrine. It says that due to the royal marriage of the first tzar with a Byzantine princess, Russia is the legal heir to the Roman empire and as such, it's just entitled to everything, also the town you live in (even if it's in USA).
the reason i'm insulting people here in english is because when i'm doing it in polish google translate ruins it every fucking time. so fucking tedious, never gets the vulgarity level right.
(someone should write a poem praising bureaucracy. bureaucracies are what helps civilisations thrive, and a sign of stable system planned for decades, if not centuries; the red tape cutters and gordian knot slashers are too impatient and too violent, and ultimately bring only misery.)
goddess spare us from germans teaching eastern europeans about how to recognize genocides.
the quality of automatic traanslation is still quite poor: “chuj ci na grób, kanalio” is a few orders of magnitude more vulgar than google translate's “fuck you, scoundrel.”
Nine years ago we fought the Nazis. In the aftermath, lots of people tried to come out of the woodwork to take credit for a moral stand for opposing what happened in Charlottesville. But that summer I kept receipts. Here is a thread of some of them.
some western leftists would go to the bat for le roi soleil if he only put hamsicle in his coat of arms
I'm loathe to share this man, but this one is personal. My masters thesis was on the MMR controversy, so believe me when I say that this path of separation of the MMR will result in nothing but increased sales of too-small coffins, and children with life-altering medical conditions.

Cezary Jan Strusiewicz@ostrichson.bsky.social · 2w agoSo based on my limited understanding of UK politics, the most prominent British political parties right now are Reform, Ultra Reform, Diet Reform, Reform Light, and Green.

so people blocking my account here recently come from the double-t group (terfs and tankies), this means i didn't get enough slop peddlers angry this week.
hell yeah i am chomping at the bit, the lady who used to give me the gimlet eye in the office toilets in the old location has retired now so i am waiting for the next challenger
Weird Alex@jackalpants.bsky.social · 2w agoIt's time again! Cis allies: if you can, please consider being chaff for us. Toilet hobbycops think like 10% of people are trans, and to overturn our segregation we need respectable cis people causing trouble on our behalf. Please wear a trans flag pin. Get in good trouble, as John Lewis put it.

some american progressives trying to understand what it means to be a victim of war, challenge level: impossible
flere-imsaho 🇺🇦@flere-imsaho.circumstances.run · 2w ago"comparing them being the victims of war to the treatment that women receive from birth, which they cannot escape, not by moving to another country, not by anything, is, frankly, misogynistic and offensive, and you should be ashamed of yourself."
lo and behold, you will read the most american thing that you will read today. context: i told the person i quote that they cannot police how ukrainians, and in general eastern europeans think of russians, specifically, that they can't use the defense of "not all russians", just like ->
am looking for at least twenty ways to express feelings behind “jfc” in order to avoid repetition when reacting to news
I will never let anyone framing transphobia as "the trans debate." go unchallenged and neither should you. The thing about debates is they start with a question, like "the trans question". Questions tend to demand solutions, usually final ones. We've seen this shit before.
wild way to frame one of the most aggressively anti-trans bathroom bans in the developed world

say what you want about trump, but he's getting us the closest thing to the court of the raving mad king that you can get in the twenty-first century. also a prime example of why revolutions happen.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2w agoOh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
As of this morning, Kyiv authorities report that nearly two dozen people were confirmed injured after the mass attack, and at least 16 have been killed in the surrounding oblast, including eight civilians waiting for a train at a village station.
Romeo Kokriatski@vagrantjourno.bsky.social · 2w agoI can see fires in pretty much every direction from my windows, with city authorities reporting strikes on multiple warehouse facilities belonging to internet retailers and shipping companies.
so one of the things that really get you in the mood of fallout:london is that you start the game with a blade. where the blade is basically a shiv.
“claude and i have made” says the person with the banner “hey, siri, remind me to consider negative externalities.” i guess reminder was not enough.

OTD in 1914 Pro German began to annex Belgium due to Kaiser's legitimate security concerns. The plan to was supposed to ensure quick victory but led to stalemate, slaughter and the eventual abdication of Kaiser....
anyways, any corporate social media dies after a few years, because the management is mostly uninterested in learning what makes them liked by the primary audience.
