The Ukrainian air force said the missile was fried from the Russian region of Astrakhan, more than 700 km (435 miles) from Dnipro in central-eastern Ukraine. It did not specify what kind of warhead the missile had or what type of missile it was. There was no suggestion it was nuclear-armed.

Shit I'm too late to the party, but Banjo Tooie soundtrack runs through my mind constantly. Glitter Gulch Mine was my shit you ever heard a donkey used as an instrument? Well now you have

You didn't do an analogy. You just used Pussy as a demeaning phrase in a way relevant to how women are stereotyped, namely, as 'weak'. We have a problem of misogyny on Hexbear, don't contribute to it. The SPD are spineless and visionless assholes. Look at that phrase, full of alliteration.

Just call them spineless, no misogyny here. It's not even more useful or descriptive. Although the lack of 3 symbols makes me slightly doubtful of what you intended to say.

It's like the US's response to the Iranian "SpongeBob critique" was "Nuh uh, we have tv grifters who really exist, too"

Are those the ghosts haunting europe on the right?

I wasn't criticizing you or your joke or something, your joke was funny. Just wanted to highlight how funny it is that the only unrealistic part was China's response. The rest is sadly believable.

I think the most unrealistic part of this is that China retaliates with military force to sanctions. The rest is much more believable lol

Good question, I would also love to know if any more information was divulged/came out. I honestly just forgot about it

I read this article a while ago, super useful. The entire time, the author was wrestling with very real conditions, with material reality, but had such an obvious idealistic position with respect to social conditions that it was honestly funny to read. The conclusions about DEI honestly just came from nowhere, with absolutely no reason, in the middle of an article that could otherwise be considered good analysis.

But this is what happens when investors want to know realistically what's happening: the advisors aren't going to lie because that will hurt their business. So they do a good analysis. But a step further (the 'and why is it so') is just nonsense again

link to the guardian about Amsterdam last week

genuinely surprised that the guardian is still talking about this as the original framing falls apart. Still not a good article, but some super surprising admittances to find here.
