OTD in 1940, USSR formally annexed Latvia. Soviets troops had been "invited in" (in accordance with absolutely nothing to do with our treaty with Nazis) & then held "elections" where 99%+ voted to join USSR. None of this should sound familiar to you.

“For the U.S. to be like Russia is today, it would be necessary to have massive corruption by the majority of the members of Congress as well as by the Departments of Justice and Treasury, and agents of the FBI, CIA, DIA, IRS, Marshal Service, Border Patrol, state and local police officers,

Related, please recommend a book on post-Soviet era history?

Well, this explains why I am reading three books on Russian history of the 1990s, which are all full of facts, but tell three very different stories 🤦‍♂️

The military did not make Graham Platner who he was. Graham Platner joined the military aspiring to be this person. Stop speculating when he told us all in his own words.

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

Chat, what are good streamers for anime? 🫣 Spawn suddenly declared that he wants to watch as much anime as possible before school starts and I'm here for it but could use some help. TIA

Normalize saying “The OpenAI Corporation” instead of “ChatGPT,” “The Anthropic Corporation” instead of “Claude,” etc. You had The OpenAI Corporation write your fiction for you? That’s fucked up, dude.

Someone in my writing group who hasn't said anything for months submitted 100 new pages over the weekend and said he has started “working with a collaborator” and after exactly two comments on his pages he let it slip it's ChatGPT. This is gonna be a bloodbath.

PS I’ve noticed that if you complain about enshittification of any kind on this platform you immediately get condescending reply guys saying “well, you shouldn’t be doing XYZ” or “simply move all your work to ZYX”, as if we should be obediently dancing around this shit rather than calling it out

What stage of capitalism is this???

perfect example of how hospitals are the worst: some have been using an app that will post an open shift that needs filled, will ask nurses to place a bid on that shift, and the bid includes the hourly wage at which they are willing to work, then the system gives the shift to the LOWEST bidder

EXCLUSIVE: US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war, sources say reut.rs/4gc28C0

This is a perversely cynical exercise in giving Platner a soft rehabilitation, within the confines of him being a credibly accused rapist and serial liar. It leverages the public's nearly perfect ignorance of what military service actually entails, and is pitched perfectly to a liberal-ish audience.
