European societies were there before the US existed and will be there after it is gone Canada survived despite several rounds of existential pressure from the US over 250 years We're already in a post-American order where Washington cannot be trusted and need to adapt

When Ukraine does not stop fighting Russia then Trump will turn around and blame Europeans and Canadians for supposedly sabotaging his party's chances of winning the mid-terms. The word of the US government is not worth a bowl of spit for the foreseeable future

Great music. Fun music. Also it was an entire ethos of "the world is shit, everyones lying to you, be constantly angry about it, but dont actually do anything productive to change it, just act out instead" and its a message that a bunch of ppl very much took to heart.

I mean, its hard to get worked up about this (& the only reason its a convo at all is bc Morello/RATM are nostalgia content for Xers & some Millennials) but its worth noting that the performative cynicsm that RATM very much engendered in the 90s is a big part of what helped create our present mess

No crisis to speak of. Accepting the upcoming (and already existing) pain, loss, rot and death. Meanwhile, the world is full of pleasant little distractions to choose from. It's like looking away, when youre having a vaccination or blood sample. Pretend its not happening, look away and you're free.

It's Trainspotting, or dockworkers of The Wire, but less glamorous. Absolutely bang-on depiction of working class late teen life in rural Finland on 90's. No local mall to hang around on. To see people you'd need a car, but those are way too expensive. Unless you fix up a cheap banger by yourself.

If you haven't tried, warm it up a bit (microwave oven will do), and have it with coffee. Classic easy dessert recipe is to top it with cloudberry jam, but I'm sure some other easier to find jams will suffice.

It doesn't take a lot of fuel to get a truck full of food to shop. I wonder, though, how well potable water distribution works, if people can't drive to water distribution point. A suburb consumes a lot of water Crimean summer. Lots of business opportunities for local teens with cargo bicycles.

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.

Giving him a platform to spread his propaganda or nonsense (whatever you think is causing him to say these things) at this stage of the war is like interviewing Dugin but pretending he speaks objectively and analytically rather than as a Putinist. It's ridiculous and people should stop doing it.

Many USENET newgroups were very good, like various web-based hobbyist forums or blogs later on, or FB groups now. With strong core of established members and less anons, good group behavior was easier to maintain. Not so much now, with 100k random passer-bys per algorithm-driven viral post.

As fascinating as the Artemis II mission is, the response to it is 95% collective coping. Self-soothing behavior on global scale. Shared attention to positive event allows us to distract ourselves from the fact that we're in this mess up to our necks, and perhaps we should do something about that.

Like which of these safeguards could be realistically reconstituted? Any of them? Putting aside the betrayal of the original deal and the sabotage of current negotiations, could Iran even materially offer these things now? So wth are US/IL even able to demand, short of very obvious nonstarters?

Reminder that none of this would've been possible if not for the neocons manipulating Trump's hatred of Obama to kill the JCPOA. From there, safeguards became unconstrained enrichment and all the scary things they're trotting out became possible. Be careful buying what these guys are still selling.
