The Mamdani win is typical class war. He is a leader of the wealthy (and wealthy wannabes) who want to destroy the workers and the middle class. The goal is to have everybody live in a slum while a small coterie of rich Mamdanis enjoy extreme opulence and use the plebs for medical experiments and betting games.

Yes, the nation-state is beautiful:

“I watched the heads of these countries get up. And the love and the passion that they showed for their countries was unbelievable. I’ve never seen quite anything like it. They want to protect their countries. And they need the United States. And without the United States, it’s not going to be the same. It was really moving to see it. It was great. And I left here differently. I left here saying that these people really love their countries. It’s not a rip-off. And we’re here to help them protect their countries,” Trump said.

I spent the day reviewing an article of an academic who believes we should fight neoliberalism by defending “free circulation of human bodies.” Before you freak out, he meant mass migration and open borders. But what a way to put it, eh? Dude couldn’t be more neoliberal if he tried. Imagine the absolute mess of these people’s brains.

It’s every single one, people. Every starving individual in these news stories looks like they haven’t met a Japanese chicken they didn’t immediately stuff in their faces:

I’m starting to think this is done on purpose.

I’ve recently taken to studying the nutritional content of food served at the university cafeteria. There’s something called “Japanese chicken” that has 68 g of carbs. This is just the chicken. The rice comes separately and brings its own carb punch.

What do you need to put into chicken to make it so carby? And how is it Japanese? I never perceived Japanese food as being into gratituous carb bombs.

Something called “Philly steak” is 87 carbs. Plus a garnish, plus a beverage, plus a dessert. This is all beyond that initial 87. That one meal is a walking heart attack.

Neoliberal self-infantilization is real:

i just believe all people deserve to live happy and peaceful lives. apologies if this is controversial

She’s 28, rich and successful in business. But her personal brand is that of a stupid little girl. Not because it’s attractive to anybody. But because a neoliberal self always infantilizes. A mature individual can’t pivot and transform every 15 minutes. Only childhood is malleable and adaptable. Neoliberals playact at childhood because they can’t market themselves otherwise. Adulthood gives them existential angst.

This is also why they are scared of having children. They want to be children, not take care of any. They are as attentive to their own feelings as mothers are to their babies’.

A cat saved a woman's life from a Russian missile in Dnipro.

Basia, the cat, meowed for food outside her door. She stepped out to feed him. Seconds later, a Russian strike hit her apartment.

She made it to a shelter. Both she and Basia survived. pic.twitter.com/xJvDsDdnNq

Always be kind to cats.

How does it occur to anybody that we need fewer kids in public places?

I have no idea who this person is or even which party she represents, but these kinds of look-at-me stunts make me dislike politicians. She can afford a babysitter, or at least have a staffer look after the kid back at her office. https://t.co/kCCNYyoqpf

A cute woman with a cute baby. What’s the downside? That more women realize that having babies is not the end of the world?

Remember this iconic tweet?

The collection of short stories Florida by Lauren Groff is the literary equivalent of that tweet.

I do not believe anything else needs to be said about the book.

Ooh, Trump is getting feisty. I like:

“As you know Vladimir called me up. He said, ‘Can I help you with Iran?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t need help with Iran. I need help with you.'”

Putin reacts positively to strength and humiliation. He reacts very negatively to kindness and attempts to reach out.

I don’t know if many people are aware but in 2019, Zelensky won the presidential election as a pro-Russia candidate. He opposed the nationalistic Poroshenko and promised peace and friendship with Russia. That’s why I hated him so much. I thought his pro-Russia schtick was moronic. Please, blog long-timers, confirm that I despised Zelensky. My parents were visiting on the day he won, and I heard them celebrate quietly in the basement while I seethed with anger upstairs. I only changed my mind when he finally embraced the nation-state with his “we are all here” video.

Zelensky spent the first 3 years of his presidency delivering on his promise and reaching out in peace and friendship to Russia. We have all been observing the results of that particular form of a Russia Reset for the past 3,5 years.

You pet them, they bite you. You kick them, they lick your foot. Will somebody finally figure this out, or nah?

What she is describing can be summarized simply as low libido. These are women with a weakened to non-existent sex drive. If only we could isolate a libido-lowering factor. Maybe a medication of some sort that only women take throughout their mating years. I have no idea what it might be. Hmm…..
