  • can we take a moment to appreciate that Yemen started doing this, got bombed by the U.S. (again), continued doing it, the U.S. begged them to stop with promises of treats and pats on the head, and Yemen was just like nah (with that baller line "We are not within the circle of those you dictate to”) and kept doing it? All while being one of the poorest countries in the world. Absolute king shit

    I always thought non-compete agreements were so bizarre. like why would a company get to have any say where I can work after I stop working for them lol. Same vibes as an HOA telling you what color you’re allowed to paint your house or how long your grass can be

    Harris also delivered remarks that reiterated Biden’s stance and seemed designed to soften criticism of Biden’s position on the war, namely that he values the U.S. relationship with Israel more than Palestinians. She said Biden was “sincere” in his concerns, according to an attendee. She told the group she sees how much the war and the civilian death toll are “weighing on” the president and insisted he is “doing absolutely everything that he can to put an end to this war.”

    i hate these motherfuckers so much





  • I had a peek at how r/ukraine is coping with the news:

    Amazing how many people don’t see the value in what Ukraine just did. They used Avdiivka as a pill box, slaughtered like 20:1 Russians for every Hero. Got as much juice outta that squeeze as possible given the circumstances. No western aid in sight….might as well go down bringing the hell fire and pink mist.

    Sound tactical decision for Ukraine. Just like Bakhmut Russia chooses a location and pours all it’s resources into it. Then they will sit there for 3-6 months while they replace the bodies they lost. Then they choose a another dumb location and do it all over again.

    also there’s someone in there advocating for NATO “indirectly entering the war, with Ukraine being its proxy against Ruzzia” as if it’s some novel idea and not exactly what’s been happening for years lol


  • Stewart can be funny but he is definitely still a lib. reposting an old comment of mine:

    when I was a lib I used to like The Daily Show because it was kinda cathartic to watch them mock conservatives.

    However I remember one episode where they were covering a story about students at Berkeley protesting the marines opening up a recruiting office on campus, and basically the entire segment was them shitting on these kids. The students were anti-war and didn’t want the US military recruiting future killers on their campus. The Daily Show even had their news correspondent Rob Riggle (retired marine) interviewing students and trapping them in ridiculous “gotchas” to make them look dumb. It was one of the first moments as a baby leftist where I was like “wait… why are they doing this? those kids are right to not want the military at their school.” And watching this thickneck piece of shit Riggle bully young people who obviously don’t know enough to “debate” him while a camera is shoved in their face was infuriating.

    Then later I watched Stewart perform at USO shows in Iraq and Afghanistan (among other places) to entertain these imperialist tools and I just lost any shred of respect I still had for him. He even had that awful “Rally to Restore Sanity” event in D.C. which was effectively a giant centrist circlejerk that accomplished absolutely nothing. I haven’t even paid attention to anything he’s done since but I’m not the least bit surprised that he’s still a dipshit.

    also don’t ask him about his views on China
