Many of the finest people I know are Americans. But I hate your fucking evil shitty country.
Be prepared to surrender the only leverage that worked in exchange for Donald Trump's pinky swear. Real 8D Chess Capitulation Carney is playing. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It's called horseshoe theory because to believe in it you need to be kicked in the head by a horse
When we run out of water to drink we won't even be able to drink billionaire piss because the simps will have chugged it all.
I said last year that in lieu of nuclear weapons, the US and Israel are incapable of inflicting military defeat on Iran.
Kath Barbadoro@kathbarbadoro.bsky.social · yesterdayWhat is the most vindicated you have be ever been for a hot take
Everyone lied themselves into believing iran is a master puppeteer of the axis of resistance but ansarallah acts independently. They will be shocked when they keep the pressure on saudis up even after the war ends in iran.
The US strategic reserve is as empty as their Patriot missile warehouses...
Ian@ianagp.bsky.social · yesterdayIt would be objectively funny if right when Trump is ready to concede defeat, Ansarallah destroys the world petroeconomy from the top rope.

Keep losing America. In a just world this would be accompanied with trials but here we are.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 2d agoThe US is on track to withdraw all forces from Iraq by September 30, ending its military presence there since the 2003 invasion, ABC reports.
I mean, if you watch a show named after a genocidal political party that lost World War I, you're gonna hear some dumb shit.
Post-Left Watch@postleftwatch.bsky.social · 2d agoCenk Uygur and Glenn Greenwald claim that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is on the "Kyrsten Sinema track." "Come in as a progressive, then realize, oh, money and media decides your power within D.C., shift over to money and media."
This guy is writing fanfic, ignoring all of the ethical problems, there's no way in hell archives will ever be sufficiently digitized for LLMs to have comparable research ability to people. This is a pipe dream that would only work if every country digitized their archives and made the data public
Is knowing about what political system you're talking about illegal there or something?
Brant Reeves@bireeves95.bsky.social · 2d agoThis Should Clear things up….
Alarming to see a history professor, one who works for a Canadian University, pushing AI. The system that is actively destroying our ability to treat anything on the internet as fact is nobody's friend. Least of all those who value our collective knowledge.
Jim Clifford@jimclifford.bsky.social · 2d agoAre we ready for machine written history? When given access to a well structured large historical dataset, Claude’s Fable 5 can identify a topic, complete the research and write a strong and original draft research paper. This has the potential to break peer review, graduate school, & job searches.
I stole this from threads but its too real.
Slayyytim@bigtwange.bsky.social · 2d agoNicholas Hoult is a loser ass bitch pass it on
Try reading naval history📚 Nov 3 1972: “..simmering racial discontent aboard the USS Constellation exploded into the first mass mutiny in US naval history… 80 sailors started a sitdown strike… marines with riot gear were called to surround the mutineers. 2 officers persuaded the marines to leave…”
Working Class History

I'm struggling to think of a mutiny where the mutineers were in the wrong. The Spanish Fury (1570s) is one where the troops looted cities in the Netherlands because they were discontent and unpaid maybe. The super fascist Japanese officers that tried to stop the surrender in 1945. Not a big list.
I will watch 'Munity on the USS Burgerfreedom' when it becomes a feature film.
JD Simkins@jdsimkins.bsky.social · 3d agoFamilies of sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln spoke to Military Times about multiple incidents in which sailors have attempted to go overboard amid the ship's extended deployment in support of combat operations in the Middle East
"Sane" in this context means the maintenance of American hegemony and continuing imperialism.
Conscription in occupied territory is a war crime, but it was endorsed in Estonia and Latvia by their respective puppet governments.
Ian@ianagp.bsky.social · 2d agoWeird coming from me, but full disclosure, there is a bit of nuance 🤏 The Baltic SS was based on the brigade sized volunteer units, the Estonian and Latvian Legions. These were enthusiastic Nazis who participated in the Holocaust. The full strength divisions however, were partially conscripts.

Ian@ianagp.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is a picture of the prison used during the Nuremberg Trials. See the guys in black uniforms and blue helmets guarding the cells? Those are amnestied members of the Baltic Waffen-SS, drawn from the 15th Division (1st Latvian), 19th Division (2nd Latvian) and the 20th Division (1st Estonian).
Surrender to the interests of capital is Carney's reason for becoming PM www.readtheline.ca/p/jen-gerson...
Jen Gerson: If Carney signs this deal, let's be clear: it's the beginning of our surrender
There is no piece of paper you could sign that is going to get Trump off our backs. There is no way to secure the illusion of business certainty in this political environment. It’s fantasy.
