I can totally empathize, I was so annoyed last year when Pinguin Random House UK stopped releasing security updates, I had to throw away half my books :/

back in my day $20 was $20 look what inflation has done to us

always a sign the war is going great!

Germany does not want to win wars, build effective weapons, or create a credible deterrence, it wants to refocus its failing car industry to build and export expensive (and possibly obsolete) tanks. Then it will use its political power to coerce European border states to buy them (preferably with German loans).

don’t worry. as always, resources will be allocated according to wealth, so those in power will not be bothered by inconvenient consequences, and will be able to stay the course of aiding in the conduct of an illegal war and genocide.

not many parliaments are a source of pride these days…

“Iran is a very unserious country, their negotiator shit his pants during the meeting, can you believe it?”

Iran has been very trustworthy lately.

Iran: If you do A I will do B

USrael: *does A*

Iran: *does B*

USrael + Western Media: *surprise pikachu face*

1917 style revolution when?

Never forgive the democrats for letting Trump be the anti-war candidate.

I mean they’re journalists I have been following for a long time, if they’ve been bots al that time (including interviews on radio and in podcasts) that would be quite a long game.

x is shit, musk made it worse, it would be nice if the fediverse could compete on al fronts, but at the moment the only place where these journalists are is on x.

could I wait until they publish their consolidated thoughts somewhere else? yes. would that be mentally healthier? yes. but in these high stress, quick moving moments, unfortunately only x serves that role.

I’m on x to follow the possible start of WWIII. even with al the bullshit, it’s still the best place to follow what is actually happening.

once WWIII is over I will, of course, delete the app again.
