  • I just had a realization based on your comment; Their boots are dirty because they are walking through a world of shit. That is a core tenant of Christianity. They get to cop out on trying to make anything better by just saying “oh well, the world is shitty, get believers to make god daddy happy and then die.” That lines up with Trump’s thematic message of America being some over run, crime infested wasteland. It is the hook by which Trump catches the Christians.




  • …But more conversations have followed, including dialogues with other high-ranking Russian officials past 2022 and into this year. One of the officials was Sergei Kiriyenko, Putin’s first deputy chief of staff, two of the officials said. What the two talked about isn’t clear.

    Last month, the U.S. Justice Department said in an affidavit that Kiriyenko had created some 30 internet domains to spread Russian disinformation, including on Musk’s X, where it was meant to erode support for Ukraine and manipulate American voters ahead of the presidential election.

    Later that year, Musk’s view of the conflict appeared to change. In September, Ukrainian military operatives weren’t able to use Starlink terminals to guide sea drones to attack a Russian naval base in Crimea… . …His space company extended restrictions on the use of Starlink in offensive operations by Ukraine

    Elon is in Putin’s pocket somehow. That seems pretty likely.

    I bet all that security Musk hires is because he’s afraid of defenestration, lol.









  • I hate allowing an Xitter (pronounced shitter, btw, fuck elon) but I did an allow once for this one because I was impatient. That footage is wild. I dunno who’s paying attention but drones are the new scary. I assume the drone that took the video exploded moments later, killing Sinwar. That seems at least likely.

    In Ukraine and in Israel drones are dominating the battlefield. Its unnerving. The tech will get smaller and better. How can you even defend against it as a person hiding, much less walking around in daily life?

    To the implications of the event though. Yahya Sinwar is dead now. Netanhyahu is in a pickle. Harris and Biden are pressing him. Here is his off ramp. I wish he would take it but I think I know better.




  • Harris by a landslide. I’m optimistic and am choosing to have faith in at least some of mankind.

    Trump is power hungry while simultaneously old and simple minded. I remember Jan 6. I followed live feeds throughout and immediately after. I watched Trump’s speech, the riot it caused. I watched Ashli Babbitt die on some guy’s go pro.

    I keep asking myself how in the hell Trump is even still in the running. What the fuck is wrong with his supporters?

    Please get out and vote Harris! Harris is the way forward. She’s not Trump but also SHE IS NOT BIDEN. We need women in power. Look what men have done <gestures broadly>. She happens to be a good one, of course a politician, but she’s won my confidence. Over Trump it was an easy win.
