Blaming like Nader or Stein (who is, it should be clear, a joke) for Dems losing appeals to your average liberal because then the fault exists purely on an individual level rather than systematic. There's no problem with the Dems, or the courts, or democracy. There are only individual sin-eaters

The Machine isn't quite at the level it used to be - there's been some pushback from other students bodies in recent years and the out of state body is bigger - but there's more than a few of very evil men in Alabama politics who owe much of their careers to it and the connections it brought them.

Sometimes I'm confronted with that fact that maybe I do live in a bubble when I run across somebody who, 3 years after the fact, will still earnestly believe and repeat the "Biden was very concerned" line. I thought all but the most dead-eyed intentionally obtuse Génocidaires dropped it years ago

I don't know man, I'm as sympathetic to anti NATO arguments as the next guy but I think if we want to prevent Russia from being occupied by white people we're going to have to go back in time and convince the Khazars to pepper the Rus' boats full of arrows as they sail down the Volga

We're back with French Fuck Friday, where we admire a different fucked up looking airplane from France. It may not be fair to pick on experimental designs, but just LOOK at how fucked the Gérin 1938 Varivol V.6 looks! The idea was a variable geometry wing that extends to aid take off and landing
A small propellor driven plane with an elongated nose hosing a very unusual pair of wings: a naked spar with several smaller spars hanging off the back with a very thing wing surface only beginning several feet from the fuselage. An aerodynamic model of the aircraft showing how the variable geometry wing works: for increased lift at take off and landing, a wing surface extends out from the inner wing surface to increase wing surface and reduce wing loading. This can be retracted at altitude to take advantage of performance improvements gained with a smaller, slimmer wing. A photograph from above of the aircraft with the lift-improving wing extensions deployed.

It's French Fuck Friday, where every week we celebrate a different fucked looking interwar French airplane and folks we got a humdinger today: the experimental Arsenal-Delanne 10 staggered wing bi-plane fighter! Developed since 1938, the prototype finally took flight a month before Battle of France.
The Arsenal-Delanne 10's fuselage resembles a laterally compressed sausage, it's in-line engine up front. Just behind the engine a parasol gull wing is mounted to the top of the fuselage, with the cockpit and an extensively glazed defensive gunner position taking up the back end. Below the cockpit and so behind the upper wings are mounted the lower wings, each with a horizontal stabilizer affixed to the tip. 

The one prototype constructed had fixed landing gear of a typical tailwheel design, although the plane's odd construction means the small back wheel is below the cockpit rather than a tail. Side view of the aircraft, showing the staggered bi-plane arrangement. A rear view of the aircraft after sustaining some damage to the lower wings in a rough landing, giving a good view of the fully-glazed rear of the fuselage.Schematic drawing of the Arsenal-Delanne 10, including a profile view with landing gear retracted, as the aircraft would appear in its planned production version.
