So… they were not sexist, racist fascists as we were exhaustively told until 2 seconds ago? Or have they experienced a magical cure? Or maybe they found a bigger sexist, racist fascist in Kamala than in Trump?
There’s got to be an explanation, and I’m eager to hear it.
Children are exceptionally good at transmitting their traditions throughout history. We played this exactly the same, and in this exact order of movements, in 1984:
Are your children playing the same games you did?
This building was erected in the Soviet Republic of Chuvash in 1985. The architects received a prestigious state award (well, it was the USSR, there was no other type) for the project.
Cool, huh? Can you guess what it is without googling?
The answer is on the next page but stop a moment to contemplate this image.
This is my political trajectory in a nutshell:
I literally simply just wanted to take my kid to play in the park which normally would have made me a good mother but in 2020 it suddenly made me far-right and I haven’t recovered since.
I heard there was some big scandal about Netanyahu’s speech in Congress. I watched it to see for myself.
Admittedly, I don’t watch a lot of political speeches. I don’t believe I’ve watched any since the Trump administration. Still, I saw nothing wrong with Netanyahu’s speech. The delivery was clear and strong, the structure worked, the quotes were not abundant and to the point. One joke didn’t land but it’s not a big deal since humor is hard to get right even in one’s own language.
Netanyahu expressed admiration and gratitude to his hosts. In fact, he did it many times and very strongly. He thanked both Biden and Trump, which is appropriate because a foreign dignitary should not take partisan positions in a country where he’s invited to speak. As long-time readers know, I like Netanyahu only slightly more than a bout of diarrhea but nothing rubbed me wrong during this speech.
It looks like people have gotten so deep inside their heads that they honestly believe a good speech is one where the speaker expresses not his beliefs but theirs. If he doesn’t say exactly what they would want to say, the speech is condemned as bad. There is no realization that Netanyahu came to express his official position as his country’s leader. The speech is good if he managed to do that in a way that is clear and easy to understand without mumbling, screeching, or being impolite to the hosts.
I liked the speech and cannot stop feeling sad for people whose worldview revolves around the idea that the goal of life is to avoid any form of discomfort, including of the intellectual kind.
I so know how he feels. A father like that offers unimaginable gifts.
I really miss my Dad.
There’s a very well-known philosopher in Ukraine called Sergey Datsiuk. He’s great, I adore him. But he’s completely neoliberal. His entire philosophy is neoliberalism on steroids. So N is plotting to position me as the anti-neoliberal alternative. We’d come together and debate, and it would be really cool. N is inexorably leading me towards my destiny of confronting Datsiuk.
I came home, and he was re-listening to my video. It’s not every man that wants to listen to his extremely verbose wife when she’s away. True love, people. True love.
A viewer said I’m better than Arestovych. I’m now ready to retire as I have achieved and surpassed my life goals.
I’m appearing on the Romanenko channel live at 11 am CT. Yes, vanity won and I crawled to the office to do it. N says, “it’s not vanity, you are doing it for Ukraine”, but it’s kind of vanity, too, at this point.
I never put filters on my photos but I don’t control what the producers do, so this is how I look on filters. Scary pretty but the reality won’t live up especially after spending a month in bed suffering from all sorts of ailments. But yeah, I wouldn’t mind looking like the lucky broad in this title image.
P.S. Also, Romanenko is clearly devoid of vanity and isn’t requesting filters on his image. As a result, in these photos I look like he could be my father when, in reality, I’m a year older.
P.P.S. Ten minutes until the interview begins, and my foot is already murdering me. I hope adrenalin anaesthetizes. But, Lord God, I look good in this filtered photo.
I think Trump is actually telling the truth here in that he has no idea what this Project 2025 is and doesn’t want to be saddled with it. In fact, nobody knows what it is beyond a rhetorical device used to demonstrate that “Trump is a fascist.”
People are so primitive that you tell them there’s a text called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion Project 2025 that outlines an evil conspiracy to hurt them, and they will not even try to read it or establish its provenance. The first query that appears in Google when you start typing “Project 2025” is “Project 2025 summary.” That the summary in question will be written tendentiously and that Google algorithms will push down any alternative reading doesn’t even begin to occur.
I haven’t read it either but since it was created by the Heritage Foundation, I’m quite certain that the proposal to stop processing immigration applications of people who are in the country illegally is not in there. And that means the rest is not honest, either.
