Perun on YouTube has a recent video looking at how the warming atmospheric and military climates are affecting the world’s arctic powers. If anyone wants more detail than just ‘lolrussia’ (but also still some lolrussia).
Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

Yep. But he’s a republican politician - he still to be publicly racist even if it means insulting his partner’s heritage. That’s the job.
that the uninformed would mistake for an AK
I’m guessing the report about the type of rifle came from secret service who saw it.
According to that NYP article someone was a few holes ahead of trump with an ak47, secret service shot at them and they fled, dropping the gun. The suspect was then arrested in a traffic stop a 50 minute drive away from the golf course. I’ll believe it when I hear it from a credible source.
This article is bullshit from a disinfo website:
Alaska has been part of a push by Outside dark money coming from groups like UniteUs.org and FairVote.org to get ranked-choice voting in place in every state.
Republican voters, many of whom are not inclined to rank candidates. Ranked-choice voting favors the more malleable Democrat voters
This makes absolutely no sense. Not inclined to rank candidates? What the fuck does that mean? Humans rank things. We have preferences. Malleable voters is also absolute nonsense.
Ranked choice favors the candidate that the majority of voters support. Republicans oppose it because they want to win seats where the majority of voters don’t want their candidates or policies.
If it were only a handful of people this wouldn’t be happening. It usually takes an appreciative audience for people to feel emboldened to leap from rhetoric to calling in a threat or actually committing racist violence.
Given trump’s persistent support, it could be that 40% of the country see this and think, like Lucille Bluth, good on her. Or that’s what I worry about anyway.
This is quite reassuring - if medvedev said it you know there’s no chance it could possibly happen.
Having thoughts of suicide is not the same thing as committing to an act of protest that may take your life.

Do you mean Babylon, Marduk?
He’s taking a principled stand in favor of the rule of law. It’s important to our nation’s soul that there’s a legal memo written before we brutalize and torture people.
Nope.
I know it sounds wrong when you first hear it, but power changes your brain. Sociopaths are more drawn to powerful positions, but getting power makes your brain look more like the brain of a sociopath when it didn’t before:

Becoming powerful makes you less good, neurologically.
It’s reasonable to assume that people with more status are behaving worse than people with less.
Power - status, fame, privilege, wealth, etc. - causes neurological changes that suppress a human’s ability to excersize empathy. The kind of self-centered behaviour that the nurse describes is typical of a high status inidividual.
Also, I used to work in health insurance and this story just jives well with the little personal experience I have with medical workplaces.
It’s unjust that someone who spends their day goofing off and looking at their phone feels entitled to earn twice what a nurse does, just because they had the privilege to get into college.
Don’t accept it. It’s fundamentally unjust and you’re right to be upset.

How?
I read the article but I don’t understand how bots making and listening to songs to generate royalties for the bot owners affects anyone but the royalty-payers?
Reminds me of a line from The Maxx: “The Crapon-in-a-hat and Jean Paul Satre team up to fight nausea? Sounds like a losing battle to me.”
Lynch’s business partner who was also involved in defrauding HP was killed in a hit and run while jogging 2 days before Lynch’s yacht went down.
Our electoral system is just shit.
She’s way more popular and so are her policies, but having the support of the majority of voters doesn’t guarantee victory like it would if we lived in a democracy.
An investigation into whether Israel violated international law? I wonder who will veto that?
