That distant boom you hear is Vladimir Putin's head exploding at frustration with the upcheck of the alliance led by President Biden.

Ret. Adm. James G. Stavridis, former Supreme Commander of NATO, commenting on this week's NATO summit in Lithuania and President Biden's visit to Finland – currently NATO's newest member.

Adm. Stavridis was in conversation with Joy Reid and David Jolly on MSNBC.

youtube

Putin's unprovoked and illegal invasion has had the direct opposite effect on NATO. The alliance is stronger than ever with the recent addition of Finland, impending addition of Sweden, and the eventual addition of Ukraine.

When Joe Biden was in Helsinki he stood in the same building where Donald Trump cowered before Vladimir Putin in July of 2018. That's the contrast Adm. Stavridis couldn't get over.

Biden was warmly welcomed by NATO allies and leaders of Nordic countries. That's a contrast to how other leaders openly made fun of Trump in 2019.

Trump keeping classified nuclear secrets next to his Mar-a-Lago toilet is a perfect metaphor for the current Republican attitude on national security and international stability.

just saw someone compare biden to a bucket of water and trump to a bucket of gasoline and that's why it's an obvious choice to vote for biden bc even if the bucket of water isn't gonna put out the fire at all, it's better than gasoline.

but like that's just a stupid fucking comparison bc in reality it's like trump is a bucket of oil that's proudly announcing himself as such, while biden is a bucket of gasoline—but biden keeps telling you that his bucket is water (bc gasoline is clear), and that the oil is definitely way worse.

if you're falling for that bs then you need to learn what color gasoline is and smell the fucking fumes

#uspol #us politics #us election #us presidential election #joe biden #donald trump #propaganda #biden's campaign so far is the most embarrassing thing ever tbh #his whole thing is “im not trump”#buddy that isn't going to win you the election #you need to do fucking better than that

Why r they smile in their mug shots

That really doesn't look good for them too cuz the court will see the mugshot and think "their smile is this even a person who actually regrets what they done" or the court will probably think that these people smile think there going to get away with comiting a crime by some save them or something else

#how embarrassing #donald trump #us politics #do they really think there going to get away with this #why the fuck do they think it a good idea to smile in a mug shot #also why do some of them look like their trying not to smile #america #usa

Elon Musk must have a humiliation fetish.

I wonder if it felt good, deliciously forbidden, nice and naughty when he went on his hands and knees to beg other companies to loan him money, or when he had to liquidate his assets, lying on his back like a little submissive dog.

He claims he only bought Twitter so he could unban Donald Trump.

Who notoriously said this about Musk:

See?

Elon Musk must get off to this kind of talk.

He likes it when other rich men verbally abuse him like a bad little puppy.

He must get off, trundling on all fours, little anal plug tail tucked between his legs.

He must like it when daddy trump embarrasses him publicly.

I suppose I can understand humiliation fetishes...I just wish he didn't have to anal fuck American democracy at the same time.

Keep your kinks in the bedroom please.

Donald Trump can whip your balls at his mansion.

We don't need to see him do it on Twitter.

We didn't consent to your humiliation play, Muskrat.

Astrology observations

Aqua mars are the true embodiment of "it's above me now". I've noticed most of them rarely if ever get angry or pissed off and even when they do, there's like no passion. My mother has this placement and almost nothing bothers her. They could also have some very weird kinks.

Sag mercuries speak too much and think they know everything. Very condescending, know it all energy. Doesn't matter whether they're right or not.

taurean women's romantic relationships tend to be noticeably unequal in some sort of way, usually physically, financially, or status/fame wise; also are the hallmark of loyalty, mired with struggle.

virgo sun, asc, and 10th house will produce a polished person. classic with a hint of sexy. they will not publicly twerk in a bikini or flash you their thong. virgos in general (sun, moon, asc) have no issue with plastic surgery. they won't talk about it because it breaks the illusion of their perfection.

I feel sorry for people who have Venus/Mercury/Mars in Scorpio and Moon in Capricorn. How does it feel to always walk around like you're constipated emotionally, verbally,physically and spiritually?

venus and mars in aries is pure xes, lust, and passion, it's tango. to chase and be chased is the answer to them.

Libras with Taurus rising are the definition of HOT. Double Venus is the best combo in terms of beauty.

Someone doesn't need to fall into your 5, 7 and 8h for you to be interested. They could also just aspect the rulers or contain that influence in their natal.

I find most Aries moons to have a very fighting spirit. Can be quite annoying sometimes.

Lilith in 10H seem to be lusted by many.

Mars conjunct Neptune : Psycho killer

Mars square Saturn : dictator, racist

Venus square/opposite Neptune/Uranus : homosexuality

Mercury conjunct/square/opposite Pluto : Scamer

Mercury conjunct Uranus : Mercury/Uranus aspects gives one who is intelligent/book smart yet the native may have issues with sleep. The mind is moving nonstop! Similar to mercury/mars aspects.

Sun square asc. What you see is not what you get.

Capricorn Mars women. Have an iron fist in a velvet glove demeanor about them. People don’t take them seriously at first but eventually they outlast all the rest.

Taurus Venus men. Physical touch is their love language.

Venus sq Saturn women. They really love to stick with their man. Through thick and thin. For better or worse. No matter how degrading and embarrassing it is. They need to work on their self worth.

Pluto in the 12th - cult like following. Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, Ted Bundy, Tom Brady.

Saturn in hard aspect to MC - disliked by the public for no real reason, subjected to ‘cancel culture’

Cardinals are pimps.. they start things with no intentions in finishing them. In hopes to use people to finish it, That's why they constantly "networking"... it's to fund a lifestyle

Mars opposite Saturn is such a nasty placement to have because of the whole "timing" thing. It literally feels as if there's some outside forces working against you and stopping your motives and actions. I still have no idea how to work with this placement. It literally feels like bad luck.

_ Thanks for reading xoxo_

Since I am discussing anime academia today, I was reading another paper that was equally frustrating, along a different axis:

“Do female anime fans exist?” The impact of women-exclusionary discourses on rec.arts.anime

This as a premise is a good concept; someone mining the 90's Usenet anime communities for how the fandom saw female fans back then (the article title is quoting one such thread). So of course, the opening line of this article about the anime fandom in the 90's is....sigh....a reference to Donald Trump:

Commenting on the 2016 American presidential elections, multiple news reporters noted that a relationship could be found between Donald Trump supporters and online anime fans

It of course goes on to discuss Gamergate, 8chan, online right-wing radicalization, references to the "Fascist" themes of Attack on Titan, and on and on. The obvious problem with this is that it is irrelevant; the "methodology" section involves this aside about how they pulled this data from Google Archives but Google is an advertising firm and not a replacement for a real archive and we need to Fight The System and buddy my dude that is not germane to your sample size!!! But more importantly, it is backwards. I don't need to explain the argument here in detail; the article is positing a throughline from 90's anime discourse to modern right-wing internet politics through a sort of 'lock-in' effect of built culture norms around misogyny. Which is fine, you can make that argument - but why is all this future stuff in the first section? You haven't really presented the argument yet! This isn't a book, its not the intro chapter - literally 30% of the text of this article is stating a conclusion upfront, justified not through the text itself but citations to other articles about its truth.

This is something media studies pulled from traditional science - traditional science states "established facts" up front that the paper is building on. But that is because - a thousand caveats aside - in chemistry those facts are....facts. They may be wrong facts, but they can, ostensibly, be objective descriptors. This paper cites "anime is still synonymous with far-right ideologies of white and male supremacy, and events of anti-Blackness" like its citing the covalent bond count of carbon. That is not and never will be a fact one can cite, that is an argument; and its not one that is important for understanding this analysis of Usenet groups. This structure is pulled from other sciences, but it flourishes because it lets you pad the citation count of your peers. Its embarrassing how often you can skip the first 1/3rd of a paper in this field - really the worst possible thing to copy from economics (ding!)

This paper also does the insane thing of jumping between citations from 1992 and events in the 2010's like anime culture is continuous between those time periods. Its an extremely bold claim it just does in the background... but lets set that aside.

This hyper-politicization & hyper-theorizing leads to the second issue of extreme under-analysis. This is the actual value-add of this paper:

From this search, I was able to find the discussion threads “How many females read r.a.a.?” (135 messages; opened on July 13, 1993), “Question: Girls on r.a.a?” (23 messages; opened on February 25, 1994), “Female Otakus” (221 messages; opened on June 25, 1994), “Women watching anime” (72 messages; opened on October 4, 1994), and “Female fans - Do they exist?” (61 messages; opened on October 26, 1995). While these discussions may seem like they were spaces for marginalized users to discuss their experiences, they were often started and overwhelmingly occupied by identified male users. In total, I extracted 252 messages from 1992 to 1996 that were relevant to the gendering of anime fandom, and among those, I classified them as 7 kinds of negative networking discursive practices: (e.g. Table 1. Negative networking practices on rec.arts.anime).

252 messages, five threads - later on it will name other threads, so its more than this, but you get it. It has a bunch of data. And from that data, the article quotes...less than half a dozen examples. There are no quantitative metrics, no threads are presented or discussed in detail from this data set. Some other event is discussed in detail, but again it quotes essentially one person once. The provided "Table 1", the only Table, is a list of the author's categorizations of the data; the data itself is not present. Its file format is a CSV, presumably to mock me for clicking it.

There is, from top to bottom, a complete lack of engagement with the data in question. This would fail an intro anthropology seminar; the conclusion is simply presumed from 1% of the sample size while the rest of the messages are left on read. I just don't think there is any value in that, a handful of messages from 1996 divorced from their context and stapled onto modern politics as a wrap-up. What did the people on this Usenet value? How did they think of women collectively? As anime fans, as outsiders, as romantic partners, as friends? What subfactions existed? Questions like those would presumably be the point of this investigation, but they are treated as distractions.

And this article was, in anime academic circles, a pretty well-trumpeted one. I'm not cherry-picking a bad one here, it was the "hot paper" of the month when it came out. Its just that the standards can be so low, its a field that simply lacks rigor. Which doesn't stop a ton of great work from being done btw, that isn't my point at all. My point is that the great work is not selected for; it goes unrewarded, bogged down by academic standards divorced from discovering real insights.

(I do not think the question "why are they misogynist" ever crossed the author's mind. That should be your literal thesis, and its a ghost. Just ugh.)

History will not be kind to the enablers of Trump.

The descendants of the MAGA morons will be as embarrassed of their ancestry as many of the descendants of Confederate slavers are today.

Germans born long after the defeat of the Nazis are still burdened by Nazi ancestors.

Bernhard Schlink: being German is a huge burden

Contemporary Germans wish they could just forget about their ancestors from the 1930s and 1940s. In the future, Americans descended from bleach-drinking, Putin-loving Trumpsters will feel the same way.

Thanks to the internet, those descendants will know exactly what their ancestors did to support semi-fascism. It’s easy to imagine some kid in 2061 saying...

“Hey mom, I found a picture of Great Uncle Bubba pooping on the floor of the Capitol during the Trump attempted coup!”

Just watched a documentary from before Trump was elected about the damage trump did to a small Scottish seaside town. He cut off an old woman's well service to build a road to a gold course and for the following years she had to go to town to buy water for drinking, bathing, washing dishes, watering plants, etc

Spending the twilight of her life bathing wither water bottles because of Trump.

You see, their well was connected right to a local spring on Trumps property. Hundreds of years of Scottish law dictates that trump maintain the spring and ensures the water is safe, but Trump had his workers demolish the pipe leading to their well. But don't worry, Trump promised to replace their system with a better one, but the water grew dirty, contaminated, and dried up completely.

Mind you, Trump said this Scottish woman reminded him very much of his own mother, and that he thought his mother would be proud of what he had done.

When the residents complained, trump said that the people of Aberdeen and the people of Scotland should be embarrassed by how dirty their barn is after painting "Trump Lies" on the side of the barn, years before Trump ran for office.

Don't believe everything you hear in documentaries.

We published an article “You’ve Been Trumped: Scots Gran, 92, ‘forced to get water with a wheelbarrow’ in dispute over Donald Trump’s golf course” on 26th October 2016 which followed a report online elsewhere. Trump International Golf Links Scot-land (“Trump International”) has since assured us the headline and related article are incorrect in various respects. Trump International states that: the water supply pipe concerned runs under land owned by Trump International, to a well; that supply pipe was not shown on plans and was inadvertently breached by contractors in 2010; the contractors repaired the pipe immediately; further work took place around the well in 2014 and 2015; this work was neither instructed by nor approved by Trump International and was not carried out by Trump International contractors. While the supply of water to neighbouring properties is not the responsibility of Trump Inter-national, it offered in November 2015 to connect the relevant properties to its mains network and this offer has never been taken up by the Forbes family. We are happy to make this clear.

Trump is genuinely evil, and has been for his whole life, but he's also pathetic. The man is mentally crumbling. If anybody in his family actually cared about him, they'd do something to end the embarrassment.

Hey, as someone with such good taste in art I thought you would be slightly more nuanced in your opinions than to imply that ~50% of the US have extremist views, and everyone should therefore vote dem. I think the majority of the US doesn't agree with the extremist views coming from either the left or right, they probably just want someone capable and sane. The majority of people who vote republican are good people. I don't think this dichotomy helps anyone, politics is obviously much more nuanced than "red team bad". I can tell that you're intelligent enough to not need reminding of all this but please be a bit more respectful and open minded.

I said nothing of 50% or democrats or republicans. A large number of people in this absolutely do have extremist views, however.

Donald Trump will likely be the republican candidate and he is the most destructive person in American history. If you vote for him you are for nazis, book banning, racism, corruption, misogyny, dead school children, theocracy and hatred. There's no nuance needed in that case.

Republicans are not Eisenhower anymore, there's no both sides. Stop embarrassing yourself.

O'Leary Ventures chief and "Shark Tank's" "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin O'Leary warned real estate investors against developing in New York following a state judge's ruling that former President Trump must pay $355 million in punitive damages in his civil fraud case.

O'Leary told "Fox & Friends Weekend" to take the "Trump factor" out of the equation and look at the case as if it were any real estate developer with a marked presence in New York State.

"Forget about the Trump factor," he said. "It's not about that. What does this say to everybody that wants to do work in New York and wants to risk capital? … this judge arbitrarily decide[d] that this is the right amount. I don't understand it. No developer does."

He added, "It's an atrocity. It's an embarrassment, but it's an assault on real estate."

O'Leary echoed his comments Monday on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on FOX Business.

'New York was already a loser state, like California is a loser state. There are many loser states because of policy, high taxes on competitive regulation,' he said. 'I would never invest in New York now. And I'm not the only person saying that.'

O'Leary said very few business sectors create the amount of cash flow that real estate does. What Trump was found liable for doing, he argued, is not too different from the typical "haggling" that goes on between a prospective debtor and a bank.

"You go to a bank and you say, 'Look, I want to borrow $200 million to build a building’. And they say, ‘What assets do you have that we can secure this loan against?’ And you point to a building you built before, and you haggle, and you argue about the value of that building."

With New York appearing to categorize some instances of that process as potentially fraudulent, O'Leary said New York has supplanted California as the top name on his list of "loser states" for business.
