Ontologically evil academics like mearsheimer pedantically justifying Russia’s actions are actually much more bearable than some Cypriot Mr beast who maintains the obnoxious YouTuber jarring tone while talking about why he supports war crimes

What a terrible act. Shooting down young embassy staff in cold blood is a cowardly act bereft of any benefit to their ostensible cause.

Absolute loser shit to leave the country when students at your own colleges refuse to leave after being arrested on the sidewalk by dudes in masks. How you obtain a PhD in Philosophy and you couldn't even fully grasp Plato is beyond me. Embarrassing to anyone that actually cares about philosophy.

I’ll say it again but a military’s force structure is entirely the product of constraints •Ukraine doesn’t have a lot of infantry because of demographic constraints •Ukraine is spamming drones because of economic constraints •Ukraine is cutting down on tanks because of battlefield constraints

To recap, letting the Ukrainians hit Russian military assets actively attacking Ukraine within Russia is escalatory in a way that risks the conflict becoming WWIII but North Korea, a nuclear armed country on a different continent becoming an active co-belligerent is not

Elon using the social media platform he owns to DM random women with the promises of financial rewards to have his children so he can create a compound filled with women in Texas is the sort of thing that sounds like it should be a QAnon conspiracy instead of being a real story from WSJ.

Peter Navarro starting his political career as a hardcore NIMBY makes perfect sense. the unifying trait of maga is a firm belief in only zero-sum thinking. every interaction must have a winner and a loser, and it’s impossible for win-win solutions (like building housing) to exist

I think it’s a great negotiating strategy to publicly refer to the people you’re talking to as groveling before you and kissing your ass while also announcing new tariffs on pharmaceuticals. It really makes it easy to sell any potential deals back to their own domestic audiences.

Let's be very clear here. What people making this argument are saying is that Le Pen and Trump should be above the law. They're saying that sitting leaders should interfere with the judiciary to make people running for president immune from laws that apply to everyone else.

Obviously Trump did this. But perhaps the 2021-2 Democrat-controlled congress could have taken back some of its tariff-levying powers? After 2017-2020, they could have decided it wasn't wise to give up one of Congress's core Article 1 authorities to the President?
