The US is about to have a probable Russian mole as president. Smh.

Norwegian media are reporting that Biden has removed these restrictions on Ukraine. Which makes sense because they’ll be gone the moment Trump takes office anyway. And this might give the Ukrainians a fighting chance in holding their current territory.

When people in all seriousness put their faith in military personnel refusing orders… then we’re in a precarious situation.

Lol, the title of the video is confident but the video itself is anything but

This is probably among the scariest things happening right now:
The Wall Street Journal: “The Trump transition team is considering a draft executive order that establishes a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel with the power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend removals of any deemed unfit for leadership.
If Donald Trump approves the order, it could fast-track the removal of generals and admirals found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” according to a draft of the order reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect’s past vow to fire “woke generals,” referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.”

Whiteness is not a magic armor. You are a woman and in this system that will mean you will never be worth the same as a white man. Maintaining and perpetuating this system is maintaining and perpetuating your own subjugation, your own dehumanization, your own lack of full personhood.

I did nothing interesting and messed up my knee again. Other people do athletic stuff and get injured, I change a lightbulb and then limp.

Physics is science and economics seems to be… well not. At all.

These people made the big mistake of thinking their field was like physics. Though tbf to physics they have way more advanced math and wasaaay more variables and waaaaaaaaaay more understanding of what it means to simplify by removing variables.

“Look, if I reduce reality to two variables, then I can make graphs ok!!! Then I can just extrapolate WISDOM from that and go and MAKE ACTUAL CHANGES IN THE REAL WORLD. With fucking confidence! Look at my power point!!”
Yes, I am grumpy. I have so much book left you have no idea.
