~40% of the absurdities associated with US elections is the drive for profiteering. Gotta sell merch gotta sell swag BUY your politics before you cast a vote. Buy swag to say you did that too
logistically though, this is facilitated by two things: there is no real election window, media does political coverage all the time & political ads are a constant presence. these shops therefore have time to set up and dedicate production (well in the US generally procurement) instead of normal printers seasonally catering to political customers then going back to normal stuff. additionally there's absolutely no regulations on it, I haven't even heard of individual towns banning the election circus even though its well within their legal power

because our campus uses despicable horrid software i have for the second time this semester been extremely cross at getting a poor grade because my instructors have to put extra credit points into the full totals so it looks like you got 70% when you simply didn't do the extra

how does something like this happen? like presumably somebody told you this after the soviet union was defunct.
maybe in the 40s, even 50s the suggestion that the NKVD wasn't murdering people abroad might've been an important political fiction for the USSR to promote. Even so, when Ramon Mercador was welcomed and given accolades by the USSR immediately on leaving prison should've confirmed he was an operative, this was in 1961. In 1994 Sudoplatov's memoirs recounted the whole affair.
What even is the benefit to saying in recent years that Trotsky's head just did that? a Trotskyist-terrorist-plot believer should think killing Trotsky was a good idea. The USSR being dead and buried, it doesn't need defense from the allegation of killing a single man.

on doing more reading, B2s very rarely are deployed outside Missouri and will often fly with several in flight refuels from there around the world, so in this case it was actually more normal unless they reactivate the bases in england or diego garcia that have hosted them before. i severely underestimated how tightly controlled they are.

Australia was already an active participant in the 'prosperity guardian' operation against yemen. it just isn't a big deal for them since most of their trade is in the pacific

then they wouldn't bomb them at all lol. i think this just indicates a rash and poorly planned operation because someone demanded bombing yemen in this way without giving any time to put the bombers in a better place beforehand. or that the rest of the air fleet closer to the theater are committed to watching/attacking Iran so they used pacific assets

hold the fuck up that is like ai-trash levels of fucked up gun design. its like they drew a tommy gun and halfway through realized the yankees used those, not the japanese
it even looks like the pistol grip of the tommy gun was turned into a questionable pistol holster while the triggerhand was moved backward. honestly like did they have a anti-yankee-gangster poster done up in the 20s or 30s that they traced for this? absolutely absurd

they were probably mostly talking about ISIS but since there are a thousand lil groups 'sunni' could be a tempting designation (as the broad majority). i'm sure the CIA and Mossad have gotten shia groups to work with them tho

According to certain Islamic street debater
this kind of makes me think this is a bit, but any observer should know that sunni/shia--besides being a uselessly reductive way of interpreting the world--has NO bearing on the issue of zionism. the 'sunni' states now defending 'israel' used to be its primary opponents. Iran before the revolution was supportive of israel. Ansarallah in yemen are 'shia' but they do not recognize the same religious authorities or doctrine as twelver Iran.
as it has always been, the composition of resistance and alliance is a material and political phenomenon, not springing from ancient religious rifts and conflicts

libs still do treat "hypocrisy" like it is magic, even though they have extensive experience in making ridiculous excuses for every time dems are 'forced' to act against their stated goals.
does it ever occur to them that a trump supporter simply brushes such information aside as "deep state" or (liberal favorite) "the courts" making him do it

can't stop thinking about this fucking shit
and you should provide me with a good one to read! I've always thought it was weird a conductor was viewed as in 'charge' of people who are all using sheet music but I also know that a central coordinator that tells everyone to start and shit is probably important how much influence does a conductor have? how do they interact with the other artists artistically *and economically*? i would love to peer into this a little bit

2 of you that click on this do not realise that 2020 was 3 years ago. almost 4

i really hoped it was exaggerated but damn, comrades. this a british movie with british sympathies and *unforgivably* british casting these fuckers didn't even try! yankee accents standing in for the french, i could accept, so long as they were different from the motherfucking english. but HALF of the french characters are fucking british?!?!?! under spoilers for space, there is not anything to be 'spoiled' from this: ::: spoiler spoiler comically miscast historical personages who we've got dozens of portraits of: Alexander of Russia, unaccountably not bald Francis of Austria, unaccountably fat Robespierre played by a man who was made to look **exactly** like Danton??? and the salt in the wound is of course, The Duellists. a film of infinitely superior historical calibre and consistency from the SAME fucking director. character assassination of the Comité de Salut Public (typical of a fucking englishman) caricature of both Thermidor and Brumaire, which you wouldn't think is possible as they were of utterly separate political persuasions, but of course they did that a calculated removal of the Revolutionary Calendar no effort whatsoever, in fact intentional mystification around the nature and sympathies of the imperial nobility, trying to play it like it was a return of the Ancien Regime i did like that Talleyrand was shown to be a devil on the shoulder, but it was not treated with that he was a traitorous sleaze ::: finally, things i liked: 1792 issue french uniforms appeared in limited edition at Toulon 1798 issue austrian did as well, though apparently only for voltiguers/jaegers at austerlitz? Thomas-Alexandre Dumas appeared in multiple scenes, *but was not named* which is super fucking awful Josephine had a prominent role. and yes, we could do a whole additional post about how anachronistic the women's costumes were, but she generally looked very cute and i'm grasping at straws for things to appreciate here
i mean they're probably just a demsoc but damn, it's some nice agitprop putting things into perspective
[There's many more mosaics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Romana_del_Casale) this is just one i found while researching romans and their exotic animal keeping.
this is compelling in a lot of ways. this is Childeric III, the last puppet merovingian. the mark of merovingian kingship was--quite uncommonly in history--the longest hair. he is being shorn and involuntarily entered into monastery, a treatment common to defeated claimants to the merovingian kingship. he was the last, though, so there's a finality to it
