Oh my god I started a war against a country and killed their leaders and blew up their schools and bridges and massacred their kids and now I am morally outraged that I feel sacred and moved to a military base because of what they might do in response. Evil Islamist monsters.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent says "F the Iranian leadership" and confirms he was forced to move to a military base due to assassination threats.

Russell Brand and David Walliams aren’t deviants. They are a distillation of the West’s order of values. Read my latest here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/…

I see you agree with the late neoconservative Lindsey Graham, who was sooo happy to sacrifice thousands of Ukrainians to, well, weaken Russia! And not even one US troop had to die. So crafty!!

But actually, you are right. We should continue wiping out Ukrainian families in service of our proxy war, to expand NATOs borders (i.e. Donald Trump's) right up into the very maw of those Russian untermenschen. An historic undertaking!

Funny how American politicians like #LindseyGraham are never described as 'orcs', even when gleefully bragging abt how happy they r that Russians are being killed by their VERY dispensable Ukrainian pawns. Can you even imagine the shoe being on the other foot? Have u even tried?

'Orcs'. One day humans will move beyond such despicable xenophobia. Or, we will wipe ourselves out. The choice is ours.

What's implied here is that Ukrainian lives aren't valuable

No that’s the beauty of this, we can pay the Ukrainians to kill the Russians.

Vivaldi's “Winter,” visualized in a fascinating way, so that the auditory experience is even more intense; one can literally “see” the music, so to speak.

The last thing they wanted their kids to see was them smiling. A short film about love in the final moments before extinction. 66 million years ago, an asteroid struck Earth, triggering massive tsunamis, wildfires, and a global climate catastrophe.

Funny little Pączek peering at me in my room. I stand by the idea that one of the reasons why hanging out w a cat is so satisfying is becs their larger cousins used to make us their prey - thus our fascination w a miniature, manageable version of an ancient threat. TCH 7 Nv 2026.
