what do you mean Get Out came out almost ten years ago
Cory out here trying to bankrupt the Republic.
they are neo nazis, simple as
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

it has the benefit of being true like almost all the enshittification of our society involves weird billionaires hoarding obscene wealth in one way or another bsky.app/profile/dego...
I flipped off a guy who came flying in his car the wrong way down a one way street. he screeched to a halt & backed up to scream “get a fucking life” at me, saying he “looked first and nobody was in the way”.
These petty losers think laws are for others- which is why driving is treacherous now
And for some of them it's "I want to trigger my Dem parents" and they just moved from "being a right-libertarian will trigger them more" to "being a socialist will trigger them more" and now a lot of them are MAGA-curious...
a lot of people have deeply internalized classic American "selfish asshole libertarian" politics but left coded because they liked Bernie in 2016
a lotta buzz around this, might pick up
ooh. this is it, I wants it
the shoes? what?
Y’know what, don’t tell me
I want the kanji one but not in gold
great thread of cool-looking watches
a black quartz watch with a herringbone pattern dial. it reads "seiko king quartz". there's a shape of 3 crystals on the bottom, which are unfortunately phallic
a steel seiko with a textured white tv dial and gold indices, as well as 5 pentagonal crystals which are less chode-shaped.
seiko king quartz/grand quartz
if you can get past the chode on the dials, these are whole ass grand seiko and king seikos from the late 70s to 80s. they keep crazy good time even by modern standards. they're cheap too.
I published an excerpt from my MA thesis, this one a short overview of Kurdish politics in Syria under the French Mandate, others to come on the 1962 Hasakah census and 1980 entrance of the PKK into Syria

As it stands, Oracle is a company in decline that has attached itself to a low-to-negative margin business with extensive, debt-ridden setup costs, with a primary customer that required over $140 billion in funding just to stop itself falling over and dying by the end of 2026. Oracle continually misses analyst estimates, swindles customers into expensive contracts and then sues them to bleed them for more money, has employees that tell me that life there is utterly miserable, and is inarguably an enterprise in sharp decline, one accelerated by the desperate, egoistical predilections of Larry Ellison, a guy who allegedly stepped down a decade ago but fully intends to drive the entire company off a cliff. If allowed to, Oracle will be swallowed whole by its debt, and won’t have much of a business to fall back upon. In writing this piece, I have tried to look for something resembling an Oracle fan — somebody that appreciates the software or will defend it on any level. All I can find are the most wretched AI boosters, desperate to kiss up to anybody who will incinerate billions of dollars to build data centers. Perhaps I’m trashed off hopium, but I see no scenario that ends with anything other than the near-destruction of Oracle, and even if a government bailout exists, it will take decades — if it’s even possible — to recover from what I believe will be an historic destruction of shareholder capital, all borne of the hubris of one of the most nakedly anti-consumer companies in the history of capitalism.
I hate Oracle. I’ve spent hours and hours reading about Oracle, learning all about Oracle, thinking about Oracle, philosophizing about Oracle, and never before have I witnessed a company that’s so thoroughly debased its products, customers and shareholders. This company has taken the piss for decades, and I think it’s finally its time for a reckoning. Could Larry Ellison be rendered penniless? Doubtful. But the outcome of decades of fucking over customers and terrible financial decisions may finally tear down his rotten legacy.
I’ve tried to be charitable in this piece. I’ve tried to look for cause for optimism for Oracle. All I found was a company in decline after decades of profiting off of stagnant products and contempt for its customers. It's a horror show.

fucking thank you!!! yeah, it feels very stupid having to even say it
I get that we are hardly endearing ourselves to *checks notes* basically the world right now, including to Canada. This is still a dick move and there’s no call for it.
This is stupid and insulting, and another way we should not be reflexively and thoughtlessly deferring to whatever any group of facially well-meaning internet leftists comes up with.
Now even LTT is saying “US Americans”
In English—the language being spoken—American is the demonym for denizens of the United States of America. Nobody else, not even Latin-American Spanish-speakers, has the high ground on this, and nobody else’s demonym is so policed—it’d be a scandal, deservedly.
I'm just gonna say it: Booker's proposal to end income taxes below $75k is idiotic. We've just crippled our state capacity and your response is a tax cut? Come on man
plus ça change I guess

Ali Khamenei, despite his reputation, actually limited Iran in certain aspects to try to maintain the chance of relations with the west. It annoyed the IRGC deeply. Anyway, congrats to China, who will likely have, within five years, a treaty ally with its dagger at the throat of the global economy.
insofar as it is a driver of antisemitic conspiracy theories, he likes it that way. antisemitism abroad simply drives aliyah. the fact that jews die in the process is irrelevant. netanyahu is willing to kill any number of jews to kill a larger number of arabs.
