I don’t think the US would have done something like this with this little media prep. One of the most Israel friendly friendly newspapers here only managed to scrape together an article about how this might not be a war crime if only (lots of unfounded speculation).

If the US did this they would have at least circulated some talking points. Not that that would make it better, but once you start seeing the word “murdered” in headlines instead of the passive “died” someone has fuscked up.

I hope those boat tours are free and democratic in the sense those words are used whenever America decides to bring them to another part of the world.

No, the prospect of more shoes is enticing, but they would be too small for me and they wouldn’t be able to take care of themselves, which I assume my adult sized shoes will be able to do.

I do not think that this man should have a Fish license. I also do not think he should have a Meat license, a Vegetable license, a Fruit license or any alternative way to get nutrition.

…If today is a monday I think I may be in some trouble.

She said, a single vein on her forehead pulsating enough to be not just visible, but audible from across the room.

This particular brand of misogyny will only become more rare as time goes on because it belongs to the kind of man who thinks it is a good idea to tell the woman on this cover that she should smile more.

Look at Estonia and Latvia being on the right side of history! This is not a sentence you get to use very often, so make sure to use it now before they make any other decisions.

It’s a rare number of Man’s Conquest where the guy is not knife fighting a wild animal on the cover. Also, while they are reclaiming words they might as well reclaim the word “Sex-o-quack”. Not as badass, but it’s right there on the cover and it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

If you want to have some fun, look back on the total population of Scotland at the time and do some math and realize that percentage-wise this is the equivalent of convincing about 72 000 Americans to move to Poyais today.

Yes, and when you see him referred to as “the general”, do I have some very surprising news for you about the vast majority of his military record!

Oh yes, well worth reading up on. The Poyais scheme is just one chapter in the life of one of the most impressive liars to ever live.

In the 1820s and 30s con man Gregor MacGregor claimed to be the “Cazique of Poyais”, basically the king of a thriving colony/country in central America that in no way existed. Investments in the entirely fictional country skyrocketed because of its vast amount of made up natural resources and its population of make believe servile and pleasant natives. MacGregor even convinced a few hundred Anglos to move to Poyais, gave them fancy titles in the military and civil service of his pretend country and then put them on ships to central America where they were dropped off in an uninhabitable jungle that MacGregor had no claim to whatsoever and then most of them died.

Then you’re going to love AI image generators. They are God’s gift to people who really, really like fingers!

Inside you there are two dawgs.

I don’t want to sound like a Putinist gigafascist, but I think Ukraine may have more than one problem.

Good for her! I’m not holding my breath that she will suddenly embrace communism or anything, but it sure isn’t everyone who ended up on the right side of this one from the beginning.

Who is this and why would I want anyone to tell me?

He looks really sad. Not just in this picture, in general. I’m fine with that.

Guess I’ll start thinking about whatever he said. See you all in 10 hours when I’m done thinking about it and am somewhat better at picking up clues to someone’s political alignment, but also worse at lockpicking for some reason.
