One of the few advantages X (formerly known as Twitter) still has over ActivityPub is the ability to dunk on Washington’s pet governments in exile
You can also substitute the effects of nukes without any of their repercussions, even if you’re forced to because you don’t have nukes & any allies with nuke wouldn’t meet that level of escalation, with precision weaponry aimed at important targets instead of wide effect nukes on bases although obviously the latter’s always going to be more bang…

The whole basis of NATO’s alarm here is actually hurt feelings, look at what ‘hybrid activity’ consists of? We literally played “made you look” with a terror alert that expired weeks before the Ukraine-linked Crocus Hall attack, then tried to act like the alert hadn’t expired and they were ignoring it. They’re complaining that “Russians” (which as Twitter Leaks show can have a wide-ranging definition including Susan Sarandon!) hurt their feelings online.
I just reassure myself that the “slippery slope to armageddon” is chiefly an American policy debate tactic that takes our counterproductive ideas about national security at face value to justify the actual escalations which could lead to armageddon, the ruling class of AUKUS EU SKorea and Japan can’t actually handle having their assets damaged, and the strategic vulnerabilities of the empire we’ve constructed are now public knowledge
Did you know that even without nuclear weapons, it’s possible to reach parity with a nuclear weapon? You need a horde of cheap drones and only a few basic munitions landed with precision, rather than nuking an entire base, for a similar effect. “Israel” has so many pointed at it that even if they go “rogue” (ridiculous IMO, they follow US orders with plausible deniability) it wouldn’t require a full nuclear exchange envisioned to lead to a chain reaction & armageddon.

Also these people lawyers are surely building large network graphs to identify p2p traffic so one might as well give them less information about where other people are seeding to or torrenting from.
Saw an eleven-egged carton last time I went to my grocer, seemed like someone really just opened it then fucked off. Then again maybe they just saw the missing egg. Life’s little mysteries are all around us if you know where to look.
took me a second but I can see the ass and legs #geology
Having a toggleable option to get notifications from replies to your repliers, and so on, would be a lot more helpful than the microblog style of @mentioning every person above you in a chain.
