I hate you for starting federation shortly after I made a second account specifically for hexbear

When your answer is so correct that an American company has to delete it so it keeps not being talked about 😎

The first portable cell phone was built by a Soviet radio engineer…

I’ve seen an absolutely beautiful lib take about the sabotage of Nordstream:

They admitted that it doesn’t really make any sense for Russia to do this, so Russia totally DID do it to seem more “unpredictable and crazy” and therefore make the threat of an escalation to nuclear warfare seem more credible. Perhaps they can use the heat generated by these kinds of mental gymnastics to keep warm during the winter.

This is coming a week after Russia said they stopped a Ukrainian attack on energy infrastructure linking Russia to Turkey and the rest of Europe as the article mentions but for some reason doesn’t link to (and this is better to avoid the paywall anyway)

Gotta love Americans calling things like the CIA apolitical. Kind of accidentally gives away that their institutions acting as global terrorist organisations is considered a given that is just the natural state of things and that US “democracy” would never even allow anything that might change that. Like, just straight up admitting that your entire political process is a sham and no one cares.

very free, very liberty, very normal to just accept that
