The beginnings of Eastern Bloc
Stalin, until his last days, was really pissy about the fact that he didn’t get to have entire Germany, not to mention initial pre-war plan to have entire Europe. Of course he was mad. 🌝

Respect to Erdogan
Man, the fact that in Türkiye, somewhat democratic country, you can be jailed for insulting election official is so wild for me (Context). Like, I’m 100% with Imamoglu on this one, those guys are morons and assholes.

Putin to Allow State Control of Companies’ Assets Over Drone Security Failures
Reply in thread
Putin himself was tightly linked to organised crime, part of “new Russians” back in 90’s, those that wore pink jackets.
And by mafia ways that country still lives - Wildberries was basically one big business eating smaller ones and making their owners their debt slaves. One has to sell shit with like 4x markup to turn any profit through that platform, and they all just went in like bunch of fucking sheep.

Pearl Harbor
Reply in thread
Yeah, invasion of USSR by Germany already was a sketchy decision, with Göring and some other military leaders expressing doubts about whole “we only have to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down” plan.
But legit arguments didn’t really have a chance against fascist hubris, so initial top nazi officials attitude towards both invasion of USSR and Pearl Harbour was very positive.

The Nobel disease
Most of us believe in some weird shit. Now imagine being given intellectual authority by being recognised as one of the greatest minds - specialty becomes secondary matter here and journalists, for example, will just ask one whatever and that will just add sensationalism element to one’s weird shit beliefs - and bam, “Nobel disease”.

Paramount Slams Mark Ruffalo Merger Attack as ‘Antisemitic,’ Says Company Does Not ‘Tolerate Prejudice of Any Kind’
Reminds me of Resnick couple story, where they nicked entire state of California water reserve and refused firefighter access to it during wildfires.
And upon receiving rightful criticism the response was “you’re all just antisemites”. 🌝

And they will also later revise history with “no, we never allied with anarchists - they’re dangerous bandits supported by petite bourgeoisie”.
Because God forbid someone tries to achieve classless and moneyless society without previous ruthless vanguard party rule, GULAGs, wars and promises of achieving communism in 10 years with number never ticking down. 🌝

The AI Bubble Warning Just Came From Europe’s Central Bank

If there’s one positive thing to it, it’s how worker cooperatives were formed in most cases.
Business goes bust or big bosses decide specific location doesn’t bring enough value for shareholders - workers chip in and buy facility out. At least how it worked in, for example, Argentina.

Damn, how do I become a man now that I never subscribed to Joe Rogan's podcast in the first place. 🌝

The President of the United States just posted this
I have better name - "United Shitposts of America". Because people elected a Twitter shitposter as president, twice, and all he delivers are goddamn shitposts.

As someone doing teaching, I already had quite enough of "If you have any further questions - just let me now! 😊" in answer boxes.

Peak masculinity.

I work in a place where there are quite a bit of older folks, and there were really classy looking folks well in their 90's.
Like, in modern world with that amount of power and wealth it's absolutely a choice to look this shit in one's 80's.

When they also say "We're one big family here!". They don't say it's a dysfunctional one. 🌚

"Critical support" Compromise?
“Compromise” stance is just a mask to look less bloodthirsty to outsiders. Tankies get even worse when dropping that mask.
Remember Operation Spiderweb? Russia retaliated by yet another attack on residential buildings and top comments for these news in .ml were “yeah, that’s what they get for their terroristic attacks on Russia”.

Mexican parents criticise ending school year a month early for World Cup
Each sensible country nowadays figured that all those Olympics and World Cups are now simply an enormous money sink and dick measuring contest for authoritarian hellholes, hence the protests in all somewhat sensible countries before each one.
And I wouldn't even go into massive corruption of all these international sports committees, with president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino specifically also being a fucking tone-deaf degenerate.

If you're asking seriously - then it's because you'll stink up the microwave itself, the kitchen and maybe even more.
Fish specifically contains fats and oils that are going to be boiled from microwaving and sprayed into the environment as result, making everyone's day much worse.

Europeans: out of office until October. 🚬🍺
Jokes aside tho, it's mandatory at my job to take a vacation for at least two weeks at least once a year, and managers can get in trouble if someone doesn't take a vacation in a long time.
