Do I need to remind anyone that when Trump says “we’ve became the hottest country in the world, a year ago we were dead and now everybody’s interested in us” he’s just talking about himself, or everybody well aware of that?

Thinking how many men's decisions driven by 🍆, I call bs on the fairytale of men's rationality vs women's emotionality. Better keep this energy within male circle. Normalize bisexuality & we will suck all the toxic masculinity out of each other. How's that for the left answer to the men's question?

Yemeni Houthis do not "living in caves", they were forced to operate from under the ground by the constant genocidal US or US-backed & armed assault for the last 10 years. Before that they were living in houses; in fact, people in that region were living in houses long before any white people would.

Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt called it the state of exception — when an emergency, real or invented, is used to suspend norms and rewrite the rules. I wrote this about Trump's fake trade "emergency," but it applies to new fake crisis in Los Angeles as well www.theframelab.org/unveiling-tr...

Trump’s trade war is based on a fake economic emergency, distorting facts to justify tariffs, gain power, and threaten U.S. stability.

The ending of so many American movies was sending the information about government malfeasance to journalists, due to the assumed adversarial relationship between the press & the power. Now that would be sci-fi: today’s media first ask the government if they are okay with it.

Speaking of Trump-Musk possible deal: Trump, notorious for broken promises, would only hold his end of the bargain if there's something material attached to the deal, and I think Trump believes that Musk stole elections for him, and will tell on him if they break apart.

To me, it's less plausible that Musk didn't try to convince Trump in his decisive role in his victory. The conspiracy part here is only whether Musk implied/told he will hack the machines for him; and Trump himself believes that this is possible, thus setting a trap for himself.

egorkotkin.substack.com @egorkotkin.substack.com · 11/03/2025
Whether Musk did it or not, only matters is that Trump believes he did. Musk could convince Trump behind the scenes that his contribution to his victory was decisive, including measures that can't be said in public. Hasn't Trump spoken warmly about Elon's young hackers already?

Reading the Central Committee's instructions to Voroshilov for negotiations on the anti-Hitler coalition with England and France in August 1939 (the refusal of which led the USSR to agree to a non-aggression pact with Germany instead), and its third point is hilarious. Literally political theater

The USSR was the highest point of human civilization. Even recognizing and understanding all the Soviet problems and fails, because the USSR was nowhere near perfect: all the other states and civilizations never reached even the Soviet level, and after the USSR gave up trying.
