God Rheinmetall is just so fucking cool, fully containerised 3D printer, metal 3D printer and CNC setup to produce custom replacement parts right behind the front, gone from a first display unit to production units being sent to Ukraine in less than a year
Surreal tbh, 1968 in the US was an abject failure leading to 2 decades straight of a rightwards shift in American politics and the left transitioning from the new deal and great society to a useless study circle it just recently recovered from.
These kids literally studied the Columbia archives from 1968, they reached out to protest vets, and now they are occupying the same buildings they did.
Read our piece from last week on how the Columbia protesters are taking inspiration from 1968.
yeah man, his lack of ideological commitment is definitely going to lead to something better, rather than glassing the Strip at the prospect of building a golf course on it
Coverage of the Chilean election was hilarious in Germany, because they kept mentioning Kast has German origins, kinda ignoring the part where his dad fled to Chile to escape Denazification
@olliecarroll
Also domestically the German army is well known for that being an issue for a lot of its equipment due to 3 decades of austerity, so it may not necessarily be malice.

@ABeardedPanda
Consequences of the Ukrainian national mythos (from the right) largely being shaped in the former Habsburg/interwar Polish provinces while Ukrainian identity was suppressed on soviet side.
@olliecarroll
I presume this may concern the Strela Manpads, which were only used by the East German NVA, lying in storage since 1990.
The 2700 figure sounded like just dumping out whatever was left.

This really is just one very long ploy to get back at Peter Thiel for dropping Musk's terrible X (dot) com branding in favour of PayPal, just because focus groups didn't want to use what sounds like a porn site for payment processing.
Take the anti-Apartheid movement if you want reasonably effective issue centric college protests, but then again, you'd have to be reasonably accurate in your demands, divestment from broad index funds because they contain msft, Google and a sliver of lmt isn't happening.

The guy who led the legislature in passing it was also a serial abducter of his child brides, to the point where his contemporaries were uncomfortable with him. Slam dunk for the theory
@opinonhaver
People basically growing up on smartphones, but far worse than that, tablets. Add consoles and they basically have no reason to interact with a proper PC beyond the bare minimum.
Stark contrast to the vision of the digital native who doesn't require any basic education on that.
@GraphCrimes
Indexed total private credit seems utterly meaningless, since the only way this is interesting is as a % of GDP (which you could then index if you really have to, but doesn't seem sensible).
The Chinese line has exploded mostly because their economy as a whole grew.

@costa11235
Also publicised confidential medical data HR shouldn't have given him and basically described disability discrimination on twitter, so those are gonna be fun lawsuits.

@mycheesemonster
Yes, also a sedevacantist tradcath associated with Curtis Yarvin and other Thiel fans, and hosting an allegedly leftist podcast, for which she among other things hung out with Alex Jones.
@shockproofbeats
@conorduffy_7
Seems like a fundamentally confused framing of "looking young" rather than the more accurate "maximising life expectancy".
His publicist pushing shirtless pics (which mostly look like a 40s guy with very low body fat) hardly help here.
@nikicaga
Because hyperlocal control over the distribution of resources leads to ridiculous inequities that effectively segregates the system along class and due to their correlation and past redlining racial lines.
@GravitysRa1nbow
The service he used to share porn with his underage kid is also effectively spyware that this man has given full access to all his devices.

The Goldwater of our times (failed arch conservative presidential candidate turned unusually and publicly opposed to LGBT discrimination after a family member comes out of the closet)

@dylanmatt
Pelosi isn't using Corbyn as a positive example, while Bernie is basically campaigning for Nordic social democracy while calling it socialism.
Its the disconnect between the European understanding of socialism and the lack of a definition after endless scaremongering in the US

@Susan_Hennessey
not really, the targeted militia shot katyusha rockets at a coalition base killing 2 Americans and a Brit+ a dozen injured.
whether Iran or the US is wagging the dog here is up to you, but this was a pretty normal proportional response
@CaroltheIntern
@Florian93721335
I'd contest that the low war cost of the final years was actually downstream of the Doha process and the repulsion of the inevitable offensive had the US decided to stay would have been far more costly and likely required new deployments.
@IRHotTakes
@HegelwCrmCheese
kinda because England is centralised to an absurd degree. It would be weird as fuck if the President was also the governor of New York or another major state.

@GeorgismFan
The sheer homoeroticism of Victorian British Elites makes it hard to fathom tbh, though most of the documented stuff are the dalliances among gentlemen in their colonial posts

@nikicaga
Sure the US may have 11 of 15 aircraft carriers in service around the globe, but not one of them is quite so on fire as the Kuznetsov
There may be a take to be written how Ukraine, after initial collapse in 2014 and facing a perpetual existential military threat since, was under some of just the kind of pressures that in European history tended to create strong and resilient institutions and societies
@neighborrunner
In some ways it really hasn't, Germany and France are prime examples of the continued difficulty for European nation states to integrate large outside populations.
@sentdefender
German political elites in particular have gaslit themselves into the idea that a gas embargo would mean the complete social and economic collapse of Germany rather than Russia, in spite of a growing catalogue of studies to the contrary.
Not to mention Hungary.

From a distance gender may be difficult to discern, be careful when jumping fences, but most importantly, having three women pregnant at the same time is perfectly acceptable.
@BoxElderDust
@HegelwCrmCheese
The concept of the full-time criminal using his revenues to insulate himself from repercussions through his private security contractor is also quite fun.
Shame for the petty thief who can't afford it and dies in an alley for it.

He really deserves to be known mostly for taking bathroom breaks during panel shows because he couldn't go through a taping without doing coke midway.
@revhowardarson
this should be rather uncontroversial, no? the acronym has been entirely disconnected from its meaning and hardly any of the modern transphobes are in any way ideologically related to Janice Raymond types
It's a striking visual, sure, but maybe representing the mark left by the protest with something that naturally fades away rather quickly makes for unfortunate symbolism.
Thanks to

@heidiscruz
for the warm welcome in Houston, Texas. Itβs vital that Conservatives win the battle of ideas both in the U.S. and UK. The time is now.

@nikicaga
"SROs are worse than homeless encampments" is such an insane stance to take.
Sharing a bathroom and kitchen may not be great at times, but you know, not having either is probably worse.
@IRHotTakes
Basically a kind of RETVRN to the confident post-war liberalism before the fallout from Vietnam but a little less supportive of autocrats and human rights violations doesn't seem all that bad, especially if the Great Society is coming back with it.
@_night_brain__
Besides dedicated vocational schools for specific government work being outright sensible and not unique to Ukraine, half of this is just the kind of corporatist welfare structure that was slowly strangled in e.g. Germany some time between the 80s and 00s.
@jbouie
I really would have bet Gorsuch to be the least blatantly corrupt of the GOP SCOTUS members, and well, that's probably still accurate lol.
Good thing he reported that fishing rod though.
@Convolutedname
"Stolen Valour in the TERF Wars" is just something far too impossibly out there to be predicted by anyone with a barely functioning brain.
@BeijingPalmer
These people just view China as a coherent and unchanging entity existing across time until the century of humiliation happened to them.
@bernybelvedere
Hanging out with the NXIVM mlm/cult lady implicated in various abuse and human trafficking cases deserves a shout out, as does the pure incoherence of his Glenn beck interview and communofascism
@opinonhaver
A genuinely disturbing number of activist orgs, independent outlets etc just turned out to be straight up foreign agents or the stooges of such agents. Code Pink being a prominent example only recently revealed.
@BlueRepublik
McCain is hardly an angel (and personally contributed to a lot of what was wrong with his party between his release from Vietnam to 2008) but taking a stand against Obama related conspiracy theories as the GOP candidate was objectively one of the best things he did.
