“We implemented communism by mistake”

I have been in the UK for two years now and I am realizing that this country has a special relationship to autonomous bureaucracy. They are willing to sit back and watch “the rules” swallow up everything

I can’t think of a single country other than Britain that would allow you to stab two police officers and then grant you citizenship.

OTD in 1941 the Soviets held a May Day parade in Moscow. So they invited their Nazis allies cos it would be rude not to.

Germany is launching the biggest rearmament in postwar Europe — €779B from 2026 to 2030, with annual spending nearing €190B. FT: Over 80% goes to old systems, less than 5% to new tech. France spends €55bn. The gap is exploding and already shifting Europe’s balance of power.1/

The hypocrisy is the point. It’s a flex, a way of saying, I don’t care, my zombie-stans still have a man crush on me.

The bureaucrats would rather destroy every single business than ever expose anyone to any form of ‘risk’ whatsoever. No sense of proportion or reasonableness.

Asian American tryhardism and overachievement at its worst: in SJW circles, Asians have to work twice as hard for half the credit.

Hasan Piker was literally a fat little rich kid with a pony. Now he makes a fortune selling "eat the rich" to nepo commie kids, lmao

Looks fun

The UK would be better off with half the number of civil servants

Archaeologists have made a stunning discovery inside a 1,600-year-old Egyptian mummy — a fragment of Homer's Iliad. The papyrus was found tucked inside the gut of a mummy unearthed in Tomb 65 at Oxyrhynchus, an ancient city located 118 miles south of Cairo. The excavation was carried out between November and December 2025 by a team including researchers from the University of Barcelona and the Institute of Ancient Near East Studies. This marks the first time a Greek literary text has been found incorporated into the mummification process. Previous discoveries at Oxyrhynchus had turned up Greek papyri used in burials, but their contents were always magical or ritualistic in nature. The fragment found within the mummy belongs to Book II of the Iliad, a section known as the Catalogue of Ships, which lists the Greek forces that sailed to Troy. The Iliad, composed around 800 BC, is widely considered the cornerstone of Western literature and centers on the Trojan War and the fate of the warrior Achilles. Researchers are still unsure why this particular literary passage was chosen for the embalming ritual. The funerary complex also yielded other remarkable finds, including mummies adorned with gold tongues and fingernails, heart scarabs, and amulets depicting gods such as Horus, Thoth, and Isis. #archaeohistories

How about that: pathological grandiose narcissism is linked to participation in feminist activism. Lmfao. Findings were not moderated by sex, confirming the existence of the ridiculous caricature of a man: the male feminist.
