Ok folks, I have a choice ahead of me. I’m about to finish For Whom The Bell Tolls, and I allow myself to buy one new book on the condition that I finish one I already have. I have two candidates. Which one should I go for? Beaudrillard or Kennedy?

Shit heels like him and Hegseth like to do this as an in-group vice signal. The formula is you just find a picture of people in the out group doing normal activities with a snarky caption, and you let the biases of the audience do the work. There doesn’t need to be anything bad about the image.

And what’s this? Heavy investment in a fully modernized and reliable public transit system? Express trains to the idyllic beaches of Nova Prospect every hour on the hour? Urbanist paradise tbh.

I think this reaction speaks to an element of our cultural moment, where we long for justice that our institutions fail to provide. All too often we watch on as litigation is buried, narratives are spun, and investigations fizzle out. The wicked always seem to worm their way out of accountability.
In this PBS interview: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/investigation-delves-into-the-tate-brothers-and-their-connection-to-the-trump-family

Reporters describe how Andrew Tate was able to leverage his connection in the Trump administration to pressure the Romanian government to lift his travel ban, despite the fact that he was under investigation from the Romanian authorities for sex trafficking.

But we got the two starkest examples of the cultural momentum of this neo-duelism on the same weekend: December 19-20, 2025. This was the weekend when Andrew Tate lost his dignity in a humiliating loss to Chase DeMoor, and Jake Paul lost the structural integrity of his face to Anthony Joshua.
A fake "boxer" who has been accused of sexual assault by more than one person receives improvised plastic surgery from a real athlete who earned his place in boxing history. A rapist drops to his knees in pain against token resistance from someone who is capable of fighting back.

Later in 2023 then Senator Markwayne Mullin, who has an MMA record, challenged Sean O'Brien, a union leader, to a fight in the US Senate. This fight also fizzled out after Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was 81 at the time, defused the situation, presumably by intimidating both men with his raw physicality
Markwayne Mullin rises from his chair to challenge Teamsters President Sean O'Brien to fisticuffs. A very proud and normal moment for the United States Senate.

Why do some people do this in their replies? Are you expecting hard hitting analysis within 300 characters from the general public?This is not a lecture hall or academic conference. Restrict your replies to followers only if you only want to hear from your intellectual peers.

The origins of the Philly Shell are not certain, but the speculation is that it was developed by boxers in Americas rich and storied amateur scene. These amateur fighters would likely have been laborers with physically strenuous jobs and long hours.

The rear hand protects one side of the head, while lead hand protects the body, particularly the liver. The chin is tucked such that it is hidden behind the lead shoulder from the opponents POV.

Creating agents meant to interact with other agents using the CIA simple sabotage manual as a prompt to save humanity from the singularity
(11) General Interference with Organizations and Production
(a) Organizations and Conferences
(1) Insist on doing everything through
"channels." Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
(2) Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your.
"points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments.
(3) When possible, refer all matters to • committees, for "further study and considera-tlon." Attempt to make the committees as large as possible - never less than five.
(4) Bring up irrelevant issues as (requently
as possible.
(5) Haggle over precise wordings of com-munications, minutes, resolutions.
(G) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
(]) Advocate "caution." Be "reasonable" and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reason-able" and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.
(8) Be worried about the propriety of any decision — raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might confict with the policy of some higher echelon.

Is it informative both on the Holocaust and about humanity broadly? Yep. Is it every bit as depressing as you suspect? Oh yeah. It’s like the mental equivalent of swallowing the nastiest cough medicine you’ve ever tasted.

Possibly niche but I like to think about the Via Rasella attack carried out by Italian partisans. There’s something about the fact that a handful of people commanded by a literature professor with no prior military experience giving such a backhand to the enemy that’s nice to think about.
