Oh. DAMN.

This is literally what happened yesterday/today.

Absolutely stunning, who is the model, and who was the photographer?

Well, I'll give you one answer then! You don't have to question my sanity, it was shot before I even found your (excellent) blog.

I would personally expand it to not just be Trump, but all of the US, but yeah, well put!

It's probably a coincidence it looks worse at the start of each month...

Really? I'm not American, but all that shows up in social media is people complaining. Oh, and his posts, where all replies are about what he isn't doing. It is effectively all negative.

Yeah, I fully agree that it could be convergent evolution, but the pattern fits... But just because it's a good pattern it doesn't mean that is what happens.
Clear, simple, and wrong, and all that.

Yeah, that style of blade is probably the prettiest one there is. It is fun to see how the evolution from khopesh to makhaira to yataghan ended up at an almost khopesh-looking blade again!

Hmmm... Can you make a pommel in the style of a laz bichaq?

Hey, as someone who lives in an area where we have a lot of SAAB employees, I can at least see some upsides to this.

Excellent post! And added to that we can also discuss the chainsaw the US is taking to its political standing, by first threatening allies with annexation, then not informing allies of world-shaking actions, and then demanding support from said allies.

Holy shit this is cool! I love it!

No? She never backed off the climate activism, she just focuses on anti-capitalism as capitalism is a huge reason for the climate disaster.

Oh, agreed. But there are degrees of awful, and circles of hell.

No, Manchin went to the election as an almost-Republican, Sinema didn't turn her coat until after the election, just like Fetterman.

Yeah, he's a bad man, but he has principles. Shitty principles, but principles nevertheless. MTG is the same. Horrible person, but with actual beliefs.

No Alex. What makes you special is also the racism, the bone deep certainty that you are the greatest country on earth — despite failing at all measures you consider great, your belligerence, and pride in your own ignorance.

Naaaah. Just make sure the AI companies circulate more money and it won't be a recession! Just produce enough economic movement and it will be fine on Wall Street.

Actually it isn't even consistent, as Carter dying qualified for him not attending the Trump inauguration.

This is just them not wanting to pay out.

It is impressive they could be even scummier than I thought.

Hang out you mean, right?

So they can be put up against the wall at the same time.

Oh please, in a week they will always have been for it.

They can't look after their own ass either. Honestly, they should just send their entire military budget to Dutch or someone. Get something useful out of the Germans.

Oh nice! A second mummy film!

Assigned Queer by algorithm.

The successor to the Swedish throne recently finished officer training too.

Heya! I'm a Marxist (well, post-Marxist really...), and I love your blog! Think you've got some great thoughts and I deeply respect your work here.
Don't really have much to say apart from wanting to help tip the scales a bit in favor of "not all of us are contentious assholes"!

I'm aware that Yanks have a bit of a main character syndrome, but sometimes it surprises me how strong it is.

Reactionary "I hate woke modern media" fascist asshole who is part of the YouTube radicalization pipeline. No one of any importance, and not worth knowing more about.

Monster of Minneapolis sounds better. Alliteration, and it brings in more than just the killing, also brings into focus the terrorisation of the populace.
