it's a heavy hard fruit, a hit to the noggin is definitely life threatening, and durian has killed

it also has lots of big sharp spikes, that's how it catches in the burlap

Seventy seven codebreakers from revealed for the first time.

Many of them took the secret to their graves.

"Whenever one of the graduates, Jane Monroe – a who worked in in Hut 6 at Bletchley Park, deciphering the coded messages sent on German Enigma machines around the clock – was asked what she did during the war, she would always say: β€œOh, I made the tea.”"

@cy

nope, you can't do that, that's a lie

because when the states seceded, they made statements of secession. in those statements, they specifically said exactly what their concern was

and they were all variations of "we are doing this to continue slavery"

read them yourself

https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states

100% the reason for the Civil War, in their very own words, the clearly enunciated reason for the states leaving the union, was slavery

We in the West must continue to apply pressure, military and economic, to hasten Russia's self-created decrepitude. Russia cannot win. It opens the pandora's box around the world, emboldening autocrats, and the world will descend into madness.

100% false

if the west backs down, and loses, learns that threatening works and threatens more

other fascist autocratic states notice and also start threatening nukes to get what they want

additionally, countries that don't have nukes rush to get nukes because ukraine gave up theirs

result: lots more nukes, lots more threats to use nukes

giving into 's mafia threats is not only cowardice and weakness, it increases the chance of being nuked

divide and conquer is one the greatest tactics of hate and fascism: you go after the poor. you go after black people. you go after gay people. you go after trans

and each time there is enough hate in one of those othered groups that you bizarrely pick up support in that group

poor people who hate black people. black people who hate gay people. trans who hate the poor. etc., etc

hate unfortunately works in politics, and long as it does, it's a heavy slog

I don’t really use Twitter anymore, I have a burner that I just use for sports and weather and news and never post from. But every time I open it, I have to question my sanity.
I just read an article about how there is an ice cream that is designed to, and I am not making this up, β€œtaste like your grandma”
I subsequently read another article about how the New York Knicks won an NBA playoff game because someone let out β€œan epic fart”
These are real things. You can look them up.
Are people just getting more insane? Should I double up on my meds?

The downside of is if you don't follow anyone you get no content.

I "solved" the problem by overfollowing, I just follow with abandon. Then lists for posters I don't want to miss in the massive firehose I created.

Twitter has an algorithm for what is delivered to your eyeballs.

And that algorithm is in the hands of a .

You get what he serves and you like it or you suffer.

Fuck Twitter. Fuck all legacy .
