Ganglion cyst? Had a recurring one of those on my wrist for awhile, though it was never particularly painful. Was definitely fucking weird, but totally harmless as it turns out. Apparently people used to just smash them with a heavy book.
Soviets did some experiments with fox domestication in the 50s. Don’t really remember exactly what ended up happening but I’m pretty sure they bred some tame-ish little guys. Foxes are cool as hell either way, and I would also like one please.
This is where it’s at. I had a stubborn ear infection years ago that I kept trying weird shit on, and it wouldn’t help. Finally tried pseudoephedrine Hcl and it cured it in like a day or two. Something about just drying your out shit out for awhile I guess helps. Makes sense.
You know, most of what I’ve heard about settlers has been negative, but the “white surprise” bit is just so good that it makes me want to read it anyway.
I actually work with a millennial Disney adult Taylor swift fan. So I guess you’re onto something. I’m sure it will surprise you to learn that she’s also pretty into Harry Potter.
You see, folks, Gaza is full of jafars…
If he somehow outlives “genocide joe” as a nickname, “earth rider” is a strong contender for its replacement. We can say shit like “ride on, earth rider” when he finally croaks. I guess he deserves worse, but it’s pretty fucking funny.
This is kind of how I always thought about it too. Like it’s a jokey epithet for people with an immature, unsophisticated, lifestylist sort of vaguely “anarchist” politics. Was very confused to come in here and see serious political discussion about bedtimes.
Peter Watkins has some good ones. Ken loach and costa-gavras too. Eisenstein if you really wanna party. Probably some good lesser known works by global south filmmakers but those are the big ones that come to mind for me.
This is it for me. Really captures the idiotic self-sabotaging hubris of the declining American empire. Though the video does the moment slightly more justice because you get to see him sort of turn away and wince as the sun scorches his retinas. It’s perfect.
They all look unwell. Cheeks more flushed than rosy. Like they’re all drunk as shit. Or afflicted with scarlet fever. Or perhaps malnourished from their bread and apples diet. Sounds like a great show.
It’s because our ancestors in the state of nature collectively decided to form the social contract so they wouldn’t get eaten by cave bears. Hence the bourgeois state. Haven’t you read theory?
I am so bewildered about what went on there. It’s too many cars to be collateral damage. And I seriously doubt hamas would have been this focused on cars. Which really just leaves the possibility that IDF was… just trying to annihilate as many cars as possible? Idk. Super fucking weird.
Hey, I know this place. Small world.
Man, I lived there for a year when I was younger and I really wish I would have known then what I know now. Would have been a very different experience. Alas, I was but a dumb lib. Still not super knowledgeable about Korea commie stuff but there’s a lot of wild shit in that blowback season. Mostly unspeakable atrocities.
Cultural dengism with American characteristics. So crazy it just might work.

I see how you haven’t responded in any meaningful way to my broader point that your “evil russians” statement about cold war military equipment is dumb as shit. But I get the sense you think there is someone scoring this debate and that you get a point for being a clever boy. Great job. I concede. Later.
How do you not see how gladio ties into this? It was basically the US changing sides in a war in Europe that never really ended. WW2 was about competition between imperial powers, and communism versus capitalism (as that struggle led directly to the rise of fascism). The end of the war resolved the imperialist competition, but not the question of communism. The US immediately turned around and started giving the European fascists guns, money and power after they no longer posed an expansionist threat, because fascists were still the most staunch anti communists. Again, this is why the soviets executed fascist war criminals, and the west didn’t even prosecute most of them. They became allies instead. It foreshadowed the west’s willingness to support the most brutal right wingers elsewhere around the world for the rest of the century to choke out any resistance to western neocolonial domination.
One of the many reasons I loved RRR is precisely because it did not do this.
