  1. Not having large centralized official central structures of power and governance, what would the US or Israel target.
  2. That the US or Israel might attack doesn't make the Iranian government slaughtering their own citizens good or acceptable. The Iranian government slaughtering their own doesn't justify the US or Israel taking over killing them.

Yep, it's a wild thought. But outside of pressure and medium what's the fundamental difference between a blimp and a submarine.

Less support of their government, more support of their infrastructure. Everyone's government could magically disappear tomorrow and life would only continue and get better. The US government, the Iranian government, neither one deserves support.

To a layman this might seem misleading. To someone familiar with fluid dynamics it's perfectly accurate. Hydrofoils are wings. And they generate lift. Just in a different medium than most people are familiar with.

In his last election orban won less than 50 percent of the vote and 90 percent of the districts. Nothing is certain.

But as Americans were can absolutely empathize. Orban's opponent is a former member of his party Fidesz. And still solidly still very shitty. But "better". The one bright point is that orban is currently in office and not had a chance to rehab his image or have people forget.

If you unionize the location mysteriously becomes unprofitable and they have to shut it down leaving everyone without a job. If you burn it down, the location closes leaving everyone without a job. But costing the bastards who can't spare the profit to pay their workers a fair wage Millions. The arrangements of the unions was never please please Mr Boss Man can we be allowed to live too. It was paying us a fair wage or you might wake up dead in your own bed.

These companies actively make that unfeesable. They'd spend the extra money to close the location. Claim it was unprofitable. And hire all new ununionized staff elsewhere.

I want to believe. His opponent is a piece of work themselves. And a former member of Fidesz. But despite only winning 45ish percent of the vote in his last election. Orban won 90ish percent of the districts due to suppression and gerrymandering. Its relatable but soul crushing that a possibly less shit person is their remotely other option.

Not just Democratic voters. People of all stripes who have a modicum of critical thinking skills. Which was why I didn't participate in that myself. Just pointing out (correctly) who would win if it wasn't the democrat. (I wish I could have been wrong) To the loudest most obsessed posters. Doesn't matter who you voted for or if you didn't vote at all. It's your right. But I think we should all strive to be as informed as possible. And not self destructively manipulated as many were. I genuinely believe most were ernest, sincere, and extremely naive.

It's fucking damning that the genocide wasn't optional in the election. And still isn't a deal breaker for national leadership. But without an actual plan to replace or remove them. At least not kneecapping ourselves should be the baseline.

The hilarious thing, many of the loudest people solely focused on criticizing only Harris actually ended up voting for her. But their votes could not offset all the people they demotivated from voting entirely or convinced to vote for Trump.

Democrats never need help losing. But they will always gladly accept it. They've never ever learned the lesson in the past 40 years and yet these people thought somehow they would? Make it make sense.

Doesn't matter what language they want you to use. A purge is still a purge. This will 100% be used more to block and disenfranchise people than help them.

They certainly aren't. They're not even allies to themselves. But without them we have little hope of getting anything passed. And without us they stand little chance of getting elected. Neither of us would choose to ally with the other.

 

It's joy division so I'll allow it

 

With the Zombina B-side album release got me thinking of other gothy goofy stuff. And these guys are on the list with a bullet. Always deserving of more publicity. Cth'ulu themed punk, the song title even has goth in it 😋.

 

It's rare to see a Blitzkid cover, and this one rocks. Though I might be biased for zombina.

CTRL by ACTORS, released 13 February 2026

turn the light down soft and low
bend it into shape - and let it go satiate your aching need
disconnect erase the memory
I take my time now
I make it right now
No control CTRL
No control CTRL
dark devotion dressed in black flooded streets drown in your regret
between the teeth of misery
the hunger takes a hold of me I take my time now
I make it right now
No control CTRL
No control CTRL

 

Boy Goeorge and dark Boy George (Marc Massive) meet, but don't clash. Rather complementing each other quite nicely.
