It’s certainly the agenda being pushed.

Are you referring to Nordstream, or another Baltic pipe?

It looks like the Polish train accidents are no longer blamed on Russia.

Polish authorities initially believed Russian sabotage was afoot.^[1]

But after investigations were carried out by Poland’s Internal Security Agency, it seems that local radio enthusiasts using amateur equipment managed to copy the brake signal used to override the manual functions of the train operator and force the trains to stop abruptly, causing the accidents.^[1:1]

I no longer take any of the accusations from Western intelligence at face value (i.e. without evidence), because I believe they’ve lied about Russian culpability so many times in the past.^[2] I don’t discount the possibility though—the Baltic Sea cables one seems to have a plausible motive at the very least, if they were used for NATO communications.

the Russian sabotage going on

What happened?

“To any Westerners losing sleep over the situation in Ukraine: Just pretend it’s happening in Africa.” —Sergei Lavrov (paraphrasing)

Would this only apply to servers hosted in Mississippi (or wherever)? Or any server with users registering from Mississippi IPs?

Edit: I’m guessing it’s the latter.

It took me a while to parse that headline. I thought he was announcing a rebrand.

The Trump Rate is like the interest rate but even more tremendous!

WaPo next week: “Authoritarianism is on the rise in Niger”

He’s going to regret calling me a poopyhead!

I’m sure conservative were all over that “activist judge”, right?

In 1965 they were probably able to pin every murder on the nearest minority with a lot less pushback.

No need to reinvent the wheel. Use the isEven API!

There is an additional psychological mechanism at play here to be aware of, which is that some criminal actions taken by the government (in order to protect ruling class interests) would destroy the legitimacy of their claim to power if admitted to. The importance of controlling the narrative around so-called State Crimes Against Democracy therefore becomes existential.

Marxists are more aware of this dynamic because they understand the nature of power structures. It’s also to be the same reason their theories are viciously attacked by the ruling class.

Edit: Did I say something rude?

I use Kdenlive BTW.

Sorry, but the prices will fall.

I agree with the twitter squirrel that Iran should make a preemptive strike on all American bases in the region. Otherwise it will turn into another Libya or Syria.
