As far the war in Ukraine goes, now we wait. Either Zelensky starts shooting off missiles or NATO comes to their senses and says “What the fuck are we doing”. Either way Putin has all the reason he needs to expand the war, and no one wants that.
Reading Ayn Rand makes me so angry (I have to do it for class)
You see all these websites with “Help Ukraine” button or whatnot, why don’t they do that for Palestine?
Palestine isn’t on the approved list of “Countries to feel bad for”
So did anything become of that ufo hearing?
What do you mean? The last few days have been a bit of a blur like I’ve been in a dream with loads of flashing lights.
there was a congress hearing on ufos
That must’ve been about the same time that I felt a weird probe.
I don’t think anyone took the bait, such an obvious distraction
seems like israelis are also getting their ass beat in france
Without sharing a source, you’re depriving us all of, what I assume is some funny af content.

According to the media, it was some small scuffles.

what is realistic death toll in russo ukrainian war?
According to Reddit: 0 Ukrainians and 800 million Russians
According to real life: no idea. I think official sources aren’t giving the exact numbers for obvious reasons as conflict is still going on.
Yeah, I doubt that we’d know at this point. We only have estimates, really guess-timates.
I think there’s a minor typo in the Ho Chi Minh tagline:
If means to study the universal Marxist-Leninist truths in order to apply them creatively to the practical conditions of our country.
I’ve read that one so many times and only just noticed!
I guess Ho Chi Minh didn’t proof read then
LAAAAME
(jk, I love Ho)
Smdh what was he doing instead?
Weed.
As expected my motivation to organize is back after a year of election stuff. Got to a meeting with my local group and I’m excited for our new plans. Guess vouching for electoralism just isn’t my thing (what a surprise).
There’s this famous Dutch Instagram page called cestmocro who posts a lot of pro Palestina stuff (among other non political stuff) and the government is seriously considering banning the account. If this would happen in Russia, China, DPRK, whatever we’d scream bloody murder.

Belgian media tried to make a shitstorm about my city’s jewish population after what happened in Amsterdam. Antwerp has a very large orthodox jewish population and they live pretty secluded within one of the city’s districts.
News reports came out about possible threats to their community which is strange because apart from very singular incidents none of the pro palestinian movement ever targeted them (obviously).
The community now came forward to the press themselves saying that apart from some calls on the street they are doing great actually and that this city is the place to be for them lmao.
Most of them are Hasidic jews so they don’t like zionism either
If its anything for you there like my city than the Hasidic/Orthodox Jewish people are probably some of the strongest voices in the community speaking out against genocide in Palestine. Ridiculous propaganda angle to go for, anyone actually involved in street level community would know its bullshit.
By the way there is an extraordinary falafel place in that district, on the main street, but I have trouble remembering what he thought about Israel and Zionism. This was a few years ago
I think you mean Beni Falafel. No idea what he thought about Zionism. He died three weeks ago.
Anthropic announced partnership with Palantir who are complicit in ongoing genocide.
