Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

They have a ritual called the Pledge of Allegiance. They make children recite it. Every morning. In school. Standing, hand over heart, facing the flag. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. They start doing this when children are five years old. Before children can read. Before children can form political opinions. Before children have any framework for evaluating what they are pledging or to whom or why. They are trained in devotion before they are capable of skepticism. And then, twenty years later, when someone presents them with evidence that the nation they pledged themselves to at five years old has committed systematic atrocities across the world, people are surprised that rational argument doesn't land cleanly. You are not arguing with an adult's political opinions. You are arguing with something that was installed before the adult existed. This is not an accident. A population capable of genuine critical thought about its own government's actions is a population that is harder to send to war. Harder to tax for military budgets. Harder to keep quiet when the next intervention begins. So they start early. Every morning. Hand over heart. Before the questions can form.

If 6% African DNA isn’t enough to identify as black, how is 0% female chromosomes enough to identify as a woman?

Very well written essay on the MAGA voter. This is what we are up against. Sam is 61 years old and lives in a town where the Applebee’s closed in 2014 and people still mention it like it was a natural disaster. The old factory shut down years ago, but Sam keeps his faded employee badge in a kitchen drawer because he considers it proof that America peaked sometime around 1987, right between the release of Top Gun and the invention of low-flow toilets. He firmly believes the country began collapsing the moment they stopped letting people smoke in restaurants and started putting kale in things. He wakes up every morning at 5:12 a.m., not because he has anywhere to be, but because decades of shift work, untreated sleep apnea, and permanent low-grade outrage have hardwired his body into a permanent state of agitation. He shuffles into the kitchen wearing camouflage pajama pants and a T-shirt that says “I Stand for the Flag” even though he has not stood up quickly without groaning since 2009. He pours himself coffee strong enough to power farm equipment and settles into his recliner to begin his daily ritual of becoming personally offended by things happening hundreds or thousands of miles away. Within half an hour, he is enraged about crime in Chicago, drag queens in Seattle, wind turbines in California, and a college professor in Vermont he has never heard of and never will again. Sam spends most of his time marinating in an ecosystem of Facebook memes, talk radio, Fox News, chain emails, YouTube clips, and badly designed websites with names like Patriot Eagle Freedom Truth News. By noon, he has shared seven posts warning that America is under attack by socialists, immigrants, vegans, pronouns, electric stoves, and people who use the phrase “lived experience.” He believes every story because every story confirms what he already feels: that the country has been stolen from people like him and handed over to people he does not understand. Sam is absolutely convinced he is one of the last remaining “real Americans,” despite living in a county entirely populated by people who also think they are the last remaining real Americans. He misses the America of his youth, which in his memory was a magical place where every man had a factory job, every woman made tuna casserole, every child respected authority, and nobody had tattoos, gluten allergies, or opinions about gender. He is nostalgic for a version of the country that mostly exists as a combination of old pickup truck commercials, Toby Keith songs, and stories his grandfather exaggerated after three beers. His truck is the size of a military vehicle and has never once carried anything heavier than mulch and emotional baggage. His pickup truck is so large that small birds alter their migration patterns to avoid it. The truck has never hauled lumber, gravel, or equipment, but it does haul an enormous amount of political anxiety. The back is covered in bumper stickers warning that he is armed, angry, and deeply suspicious of the federal government, except for when it comes to Medicare, Social Security, highways, farm subsidies, police funding, veterans’ benefits, and keeping its hands off his lawn. He likes to tell people he is “not political,” which is impressive considering his entire personality has become an endless loop of cable news grievances. He cannot attend a barbecue, church picnic, football game, or grandchild’s birthday party without eventually bringing up inflation, Hunter Biden, gas stoves, “the border,” or how nobody can say Merry Christmas anymore even though literally everyone still says Merry Christmas. Then Trump arrived, descending from his golden escalator like a casino-themed prophet sent by God to sell steaks and grievance. Sam had finally found his perfect candidate: a billionaire from Manhattan with multiple mansions, gold-plated bathrooms, and a private jet, who somehow convinced Sam that he understood the pain of a man screaming at the self-checkout machine in Walmart. Trump was loud, angry, theatrical, and constantly under investigation, which only made Sam admire him more. Every lawsuit, scandal, or indictment was not evidence of wrongdoing. It was proof that Trump was fighting the deep state, the media, the elites, the globalists, the FBI, the Democrats, the RINOs, and possibly the ghost of George Soros. Every scandal, every lawsuit, every indictment, every accusation became proof that Trump was fighting the corrupt establishment on behalf of “real Americans” like Sam. At this point, Sam does not support Trump because of policy details. He supports Trump because Trump has become the human embodiment of his anger, nostalgia, confusion, and Facebook feed. Trump says the world Sam remembers can come back, that the people Sam dislikes can be punished, and that all of Sam's frustrations are someone else’s fault. To Sam, Trump is no longer just a politician. He is a lifestyle brand. He is a martyr, a warrior, a stand-up comedian, a victim, a patriot, and the lead singer of a traveling grievance festival. Sam owns at least three Trump hats, two Trump flags, a Trump coffee mug, a “Never Surrender” T-shirt, and a giant “Let’s Go Brandon” sign in the garage that he insists is “not political, just funny.” For Sam, that is not politics. That is therapy. Trump is not just a candidate anymore; he is an emotional support billionaire. He is a spray-tanned security blanket with a private jet. He is the gold-plated, fast-food-fueled mascot Sam clings to whenever the modern world feels confusing, threatening, or insufficiently patriotic. Trump gives him a ready-made explanation for every disappointment in his life: it is not aging, bad luck, economic change, or his own choices; it is the immigrants, the liberals, the media, the globalists, the vegans, the people with pronouns, and whoever is ruining Christmas this week. Supporting Trump lets Sam believe there is still someone out there fighting for him.

El manejo de las rutas marítimas como herramienta de presión rara vez se analiza con el mismo criterio. Nadie se rasga las vestiduras cuando la armada estadounidense restringe el acceso naval a las costas cubanas o venezolanas; tampoco suele haber grandes titulares de condena por el cerco que mantiene Israel sobre el litoral de Gaza. Sin embargo, basta con que Teherán amenace con obstruir el paso por el Estrecho de Ormuz (justo para responder a las potencias que antes lo atacaron) para que la comunidad internacional salte al unísono a hablar de violación flagrante de las normas. ¿Dónde queda entonces la coherencia a la hora de aplicar un mismo rasero a todos los actores?

A woman awakes in the middle of the night to find her husband not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of hot cocoa in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes away a tear from his eye. "What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?" The husband looks up from his drink. "It's the 20th anniversary of the day we met." She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up. The husband continues, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we started dating? I was 18 and you were only 15," he said solemnly. Once again, the wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do," she replies. The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?" "Yes, I remember," said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him. The husband continued. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter or I will make sure you spend the next 20 years in prison'?" "Yes, I remember that too," she replied softly. He sighed as he wiped another tear away from his cheek and said, "I would have gotten out today."

An American voice: “Listen up, Trump, and every dumb f... in Washington who still thinks the Strait of Hormuz is some kind of American parking lot. This aint international waters. Never was. Never will be. Under the law of the sea, every coastal country gets twelve nautical miles of its own goddamn territorial water. The narrowest choke point in Hormuz is only twenty one miles wide. That means Iran and Oman own the whole fucking strait from shore to shore. Overlapping. Locked. Closed. No high seas. No open ocean free for all. Iran controls the big islands too, Qeshm, Hormuz, Larak, Abu Musa, the whole chain. You sail through, you are in somebody elses house. Iran never even signed that UNCLOS treaty, so they dont have to play your transit passage game. They say innocent passage and they mean it. You bring guns or you bring trouble, they can say no. America starts wars because it never learned geography in school. They  bomb first, read the map later. Before you drag us into another bloodbath, open a f...ing atlas. The water belongs to the land that touches it. Not to the country that prints the most dollars. Learn it now or bleed for it later.

美伊谈判细节来了，谁才是真想解决问题这一方？美方代表团 11 号当天才匆匆赶到，万斯下飞机后先睡了 4 个小时倒时差，等他出现在谈判会场时，伊朗团队已经把首轮谈判要点都列好了。 有知情人士透露，美方连谈判议程都没提前和巴方确认，还是临时照着伊朗提出的框架来，这仓促的样子，和他们 300 人队伍的大阵仗实在有点不匹配。 美方带来的谈判文件只有薄薄几页，全是原则性条款，而伊朗团队的文件箱里装满了详细的数据和协议草案，光关于核设施安全的技术说明就有 120 多页，这准备工作的扎实程度，明眼人一看就知道谁更想谈出结果。

@NikSamotracia Buenos días, Niké ☕☕☕🥯🍩😘😘😘

A roll of chicken wire and two bags of compost are enough to harvest 8 to 15 kg of potatoes from a single square metre, without digging and without bending down. Traditional potato growing requires trench-digging, repeated earthing up, and considerable surface area. The wire tower inverts the logic: instead of going down, the tubers go up. Each layer of compost added during the growing season multiplies the productive tiers within a vertical cylinder. Cut 1.5 metres of hexagonal wire mesh and form a cylinder 50 cm in diameter. Secure the edges with galvanised garden wire. Line the inside with a layer of straw — this retains the growing medium while allowing air to circulate. The aeration distinguishes the tower from a simple grow bag and prevents tuber rot. Add 15 cm of compost and topsoil mix to the base and place four or five chitted seed potatoes, sprouts upward, spaced evenly. When the shoots have grown 20 cm above the surface, add a new layer of compost, leaving only the tips showing. Repeat until the cylinder is full — three to four top-ups over the season. Harvest is the most satisfying moment: unroll the wire, the cylinder opens, and potatoes roll out at each level. No fork, no accidental slicing, no blind digging. Long-season maincrop varieties form more tubers across the vertical tiers than early varieties. In British gardens: Charlotte, Désirée, Maris Piper, Rooster, and Nicola are all well-suited to this method. Avoid very early varieties — they do not have long enough in the ground to build tubers through multiple layers. One square metre. No digging. Potatoes from base to top. 🥔🌿✂️ #PotatoTower #VerticalGardening #GrowYourOwn #KitchenGarden

The hardest thing to take from someone is not their money or their land. It is the story they tell about themselves. The story American empire tells its citizens is: You are the good ones. Your country, whatever its flaws, is fundamentally a force for good. Your soldiers protect freedom. Your institutions protect rights. Your influence protects stability. The world is better because you are in it and worse in the places you have not yet reached. That story is the real product of empire. Not the oil. Not the military bases. Not the trade agreements. The story. Because as long as citizens believe the story, they will fund the empire. They will staff it. They will defend it from criticism. They will vote for it. They will silence their own doubts when the story requires it. The most efficient empire is not one that rules by force alone. It is one that makes its citizens feel proud to maintain it. America built that empire. It is genuinely impressive in a cold, architectural way. But the story has been cracking for a long time. And stories, once they crack, do not repair themselves. They just keep cracking.
