Dems not shoveling money into GA Gov race feels like a mistake. KLB is a bad candidate but the environment+ Ossoff's coattails could be enough with some actual fucking cash. Meanwhile I'm bombarded with Jackson shit all day every day on all platforms.

It is pretty wild to think that those rapists at Cornell almost certainly used AI to write their apology papers and get off scot-free.

There is no greater force for the reification of reactionary white identity than country music.

Country music is aural white supremacy.

But just, fundamentally, nothing ventured nothing gained. This is the moment to fundamentally reorient the country and she's the only one who I trust has the ideological fervor to do something with it.

Always gonna use Fomenko talk to plug Joseph Kellner's The Spirit of Socialism, which looks at things like the New Chronology, Krishna Consciousness, and astrology to understand the Soviet collapse.

In the same way that space-faring human civilization always just becomes feudalism again, streaming is doomed to just become cable again.

Ten years ago I met a man at an archive in Kazan who, when speaking about US-Russia antipathy (ironically much better back then), told me: "It is easy to create enemies for people who haven't been anywhere and don't want to learn anything."

I started listening to angry music in my teens. And at some point in my twenties, I wondered why I was so angry and mostly stopped. Now I'm in my mid thirties and I listen overwhelmingly to angry music again.

Unrelated to the thread, but Ska is my preferred method for teaching the impact of decolonization in the metropole - and The Specials are a big part of that.

Here's an alternate history scenario: Peter III either foils the coup conspiracy or the conspiracy never materializes at all and he has a full reign. Lots of interesting implications for the nobility, the Church, the peasantry/serfs, not to mention Russian foreign policy.

Are there any Habsburg historians in the US right now? 19th c, emphasis somewhat on Polish lands but also immigration to the US.
