I can’t wait until australia and new zealand are kicked out of the imperial core through economic warfare. Demographically, it’s already well on its way to becoming an asian country. The west can play in the north atlantic.

That graph showing it’s 50% above the record for this time of year in terms of rapid intensification is very cool and normal 🙃

“Millenials, Gen Z unaware of price paid for cheap ‘green revolution crops’. They should stop eating to prevent ocean dead zones”

When the entire supply chain of a critical commodity has serious issues, you can’t fix it on the demand side.

Idk apparently he’s being held at Rikers right now

Paris is actually quite close to New Caledonia…provided you go through the center of the Earth. I’m sure controlling an island on the other side of the world is a trivial task that the French will surely succeed in! /s

Holy shit, NYT deleted that top comment to control the narrative. I honestly didn’t think they’d be so bold. It’s gone. The new top comment is:

Good that we have funding for Ukraine. The funding for Israel should go to relief supplies for the people of Gaza and not the Israeli military.

No kidding. Also, spending $1 billion on aid, and $60 billion on weapons to kill the same people, is insane on its face.

Some good news - this is so on the nose that even the good liberal subscribers are not biting. Most upvoted comment atm:

“It’s a good day for world peace,” - how utterly grotesque. I sometimes wonder if Joe Biden genuinely has no idea he’s going to lose in November.

wow check out this fun genocide travel vlog in Xinjiang ✌️🤪! watch to see ebil ccp oppress the poor yogurt people ☹️. did you know westerners can just go there and see for themselves without any special permit? This guy is German and went visa-free. Cw: mosques, halal food, bazaars

I wonder how history will explain these moves. It’s comforting to assume actors being rational, but this is a case of just the opposite guiding a country. Argentina is basically a vast expanse on the edge of the earth. What purpose could a military possibly serve for them? Their relationship with Brazil, their literal only credible threat, was good until recently…it’s just incredible that anyone is able to conjure a lens through which this looks like a good idea

• this is a small fraction of her wealth
• the non-profits just launder her money, in return she gets positive public image, tax benefits, and power
• it’s insanity that progress on unprofitable ventures is dictated by billionaires

a real comment on this article, written by a purportedly real human:

The free and open internet as we know it is threatened by a growing digital authoritarianism. That’s why it’s so critical that the U.S., led by its private sector innovators, win the tech race, especially in AI, quantum, chips, and setting global standards.

a little on the nose, isn’t it? i honestly don’t think this person has considered why they want the outcome they do other than “USA Good”

This is especially crazy because chinese international students have literal social media posts outlining the best strategies to avoid arbitrary detention. Most of them are doing everything in their power to avoid shenanigans like this.

If this is a modern version of a sedentary society going soft, then who are the modern steppe nomads that will sweep them?

Aren’t those articles dragging Russia for conscripting prisoners still hot off the press? lol

Good counterpoints - thanks for taking the time to write this!

What message are they trying to send by claiming responsibility for this?

哎呀😅

I disagree. Electric toothbrushes are an effective way to increase the efficiency of dental hygeine. Maintaining dental health is of critical importance for both individuals and societies, so it is well-worth investment. Like others have said, wireless connectivity is unnecessary though.

Solid work as always from Ben Norton
