AKA Dubanka. Military, IR, FP, dumb jokes, superheroes, spirited flirt, bigot smasher, retired soldier, field grade hater, DYLF. “Dangerous devil.” “Oozes sensuality.” He/him.
- Are these assholes, like… compromised or something?
- Democrats today used new caveats in their demands for ICE masks www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...
- A lot of Congressional Republicans do this for various things and it’s equal parts hilarious and fucking infuriating
- 1. I fucking FEEL this 2. As someone else pointed out, it’s easy to be on the same page when everyone’s reading the same script
- Told my old man that one of our refugee families — through some kind of clerical error neither they, nor we, nor the landlord caught — owes almost $10,000 in back rent. His immediate question was “need some funds to help out?” I said I doubt if he has that kind of cash lying around. His reply? ❤️
- The evil and mismanagement of Jeff Bezos aside, Ukraine is suffering from the same problem that Gaza is after Trump’s election: people have other things that are pressing and closer to home. Just or unjust, that’s the reality. The people of, say… Minneapolis? Ukraine isn’t on their minds. Nor Gaza.
- That’s not coincidental, by the way. There’s an intentional synergy at play between the domestic benefits the regime sees when they turn their oppression inward, and the benefits abroad. When the people at home have a boot on their neck, it’s hard for them to protest what you’re doing overseas.
- And so, yeah, Jeff Bezos absolutely fucked WaPo and everyone who works there. And he may or may not have meant to run it into the ground. And this is in no way a criticism of WaPo’s hardworking and dedicated journalists abroad, but this is the ecosystem they’ve been forced to work in.
- One where their audience — even if it were so inclined — can’t spare as much bandwidth for Kyiv or Gaza as it used to. Mismanagement aside, Bezos played a huge role in that.
- Whenever I get the urge to give in, I remember the wise words of Sam Gamgee.
- This thread about cleaning tear gassed clothes is wise advice from someone who knows what he’s talking about. My experience isn’t nearly as deep as Dan’s, but I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of what he’s outlined here.
- I was at an action where we were trying to get a certain group of masked and armed individuals to leave another group of people alone. We actually convinced them to go, juice not being worth the squeeze. Someone had slashed their tires. Exactly the opposite of what we needed. But nobody snitched.
- 8yo got home and excitedly told me someone asked her to be their Valentine. “Who?” “Nathan.” “Who is that?” “A boy from my class.” “And what do you think of Nathan?” “Eh. He’s annoying sometimes but nice.” “Hmm. I annoy your mom some, too.” “Yeah.” “What did you tell him?” “I’d ask my parents.”
- In this video I am seeing a sort of logic that amounts to “I am once again going to stand in front of this vehicle with my weapon drawn and pointed at the driver’s face because the last guy to do so was allowed to kill someone and face zero consequences and I want to do that, too.”
