Voting systems based on proportional representation are a thing, America. It is about time that you start talking about that. Reciprocal gerrymandering is not a long-term solution.

Impact of drone strikes fades???

look i get it. for the absolute longest time i have had an unbelievably rich stake in a similar visceral debate, "was what the Soviets did to the Baltics a genocide." i still do. there are contexts in which making a cautious and thoughtful judgment on that point is important.

It will soon be a week of almost non-stop fires after repeated attacks on the Russian refinery in Tuapse.

If you want to understand what is Russia to us in Eastern Europe, think of abusive ex. You escaped him and started a new, better life. But he's still sending threats - "We are a family forever, I let you go instead of killing you, it proves I'm a good guy, so I deserve to have you back".

⚡ Zelenskyy: If Ukraine, Türkiye, Norway, and the UK were EU members, you would have the strongest army in the world.

1/ Russia's continuing difficulties in the war in Ukraine is leading to multiple warbloggers admitting that the war effort is failing. The latest entry in the genre comes from Alexander Karchenko, who says that ordinary Russians are more concerned about the "price of a latte". ⬇️

This is the true paradox before us: Putin seeks imperial expansion abroad while failing to secure basic human dignity at home

"There's no need to make a sensation out of Vitkov and Kushner's visit. Their arrival is for their benefit, not ours." - Zelensky.

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

My retirement plan is to observe and keep a log of the places where the squirrels bury their acorns

'Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.'

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Middle Age Riot @middleageriot I block Trump trolls for the same reason I scrape dog shit off my shoes: not because I'm "afraid" of dog shit, but because dog shit has no inherent value, creates a huge mess, and makes everything smell like dog shit. Trump trolls: to clarify, in this analogy, you are dog shit.
