I like ratios, particularly those per capita ones. Meyrink was a German writer living in Prague. His sarcasm targeted arrogance esp. in academia & the military. (San Diego)

Today, Ukraine welcomes home Warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, National Guard members, and border guards.

Most of them were held captive for over a year, some since 2022.

I don't think that is a good argument per se.
The US spends about 18% of GDP on Healthcare and 4% on the military.
This president is abusing our healthcare system. He is abusing our military too.

He said boots, we can air drop loads of boots.

He doesn't have any self awareness.
Is that what makes him so attractive to people stuck with toddler brains?

This brings to mind an interesting question. Could the president block-pardon them all?

Fair, if not necessarily inclusive or helpful. Particularly at the point where we are.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

"War is first the hope that things will get better for oneself, then the expectation that things will get worse for the other, then the satisfaction that things are not getting better for the other either, and finally the surprise that things are getting worse for both." Karl Kraus

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

corporations can hide political donations for months after you've already voted. we're pushing for real-time disclosure so voters know BEFORE election day, not after.

left or right doesn't matter when both sides are funded by people you can't see. transparency isn't partisan β€” it's the baseline.

Der Spartakusaufstand war ihre Antwort auf das Recht der anderen, eine freie Wahl zu haben.
Ich akzeptiere dass sie ein Herz fΓΌr das Leiden der kleinen Leute hatte. Aber sie hatte auch die Arroganz es besser zu wissen als diese und ihre Wahl anderen aufzuzwingen.

I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.

Americans: we live in a fallen stateβ€”embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

A handful of Republicans could end all of this. And there are quite a few who hate this war, masked terrorists in our cities, flouting of Congress, corruption, etc.

But unless they prove otherwise they’re all cowards.

Der erste Satz ist eine Kritik des Westens, der zweite eine Kritik des Sovietregimes.
Um zu unverstaendlicher dass Rosa nicht fuer Freiheit und Demokratie eintrat. Sie versuchte in Deutschland Wahlen zu verhindern und startete einen Putsch um ein Regime wie das Lenin's zu errichten.

Technological independence of any country is impossible today. All such attempts will do is to generate inefficiencies. See Ricardo, comparative advantage, 1820s.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
