Nothing slow about it, though.

At this point, there is no more “The West.”
“The Wild West,” maybe.

“Turmoil” is an interesting choice of words.

Fascinating game. You get to learn what amazing liars people can be. The devil really is a squirrel.

What do they need bots for? Just cut out the middleman and buy and sell upvotes/ recommendations/ rankings on the frontpage. Who would notice?
Lemmings and even more so Redditors are still clinging to the sham of “objective” platforms playing by some sort of physical rules and clean, unbiased algorithms in the face of multiple daily threads on social media that are very obviously being brigaded and capsized, for much more than 10 years at this point.

Bleak when only a time traveler from the future can save the world from impending doom at this point.

Agreed. I hope it doesn’t take Europe until the Mediterranean is blocked off by US warships to understand the US is neither a friend, nor neutral, in this. “Trade” just doesn’t cut it for them anymore, they are going for the land grab.

The wondrous times we live in.

I’m almost expecting Trump to come out of the “special meetings” with Putin with the result that unlike Ukraine, Russia agreed to pay up, so the US will now deliver weapons to Russia and, of course, drop all sanctions.

65% of Nigerians, and 61% of Indonesians agree with the statement that “Facebook is the Internet”

This is extremely worrying.

Unless, of course, the US exits NATO. At this point, everybody would be better of without them.

Good on you, Zelensky. Do not cave.

It seems Hydrogen dioxide is pretty deadly too. We’re all fucking doomed.

You’re not wrong about that.

Sneaky, to hide the dildo in plain sight on top of a van.

“Gee, George. Use some deodorant, for Christ’s sake.”

Those novel currencies, of course, will be tied to Bitcoin or some other “coin” they’ll create exclusively for that purpose, brothel-money style.

Actual membership for Turkey hasn’t been a serious option for a long time. Turkey knows it, EU knows it. There simply is no other label than “candidate” that could better describe what TR means to the EU. They want to keep it as close as possible, and TR benefits from it, a lot. A symbiosis, if you will. As for the Switzerland model, the EU clearly stated, multiple times, that they don’t want to repeat the unholy mess of relations they created with CH and, in fact, would rather transform it to something in line with stock EU foreign policy.

Looking back on when we fisted
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby, you’re the one, you still turn me on
You can make me whole again
