According to wiki a quarter million Ukranians collaborated with Nazis.

Ya know when ya start examining the history of each nation ya see same shit different day. Humans the world over are capable of the most unspeakable cruelty and the most tender compassion. I long ago stopped playing the good/guy, bad/guy game. As i tried to get across to the…[Read more]

There is some merit in Unseen’s hypothetical.

During Cuba Missile crisis Kennedy and the defense boys freaked the fuck out over far less threatening circumstances. Kennedy nearly got us into nuclear war. And i have no doubt that if the civil war had gone differently and an enclave of USA had gotten its independence that if the USA attempted…[Read more]

Robert writes: Just taking a look at history, are authoritarian dictators ever satisfied? Show me one. Especially when they start getting what they want? They pretty much all go down the hard way. And if the West fails Ukraine, that will just embolden China, Iran and N Korea.

Perhaps many have just given up on Russians. Can they ever become a…[Read more]

That article makes it clear that his intentions are unclear. One author even says so. Where they concur is thinking that Putin intends to make Ukraine into a puppet state. That makes sense. At worse it is as you have quoted or stated differently, “Putin certainly has an endgame in mind: It’s recreating the Russian Empire with himself as tsar. A…[Read more]

Cossacks’s history began as revolutionaries. But guess what? They ended up an instrument of oppression. I saw em as a kid at the circus. Wow can they ride. I wonder whether cossacks were as good as Mongols or Commanches.

In any event i do not believe Putin has or had plans to expand beyond Ukraine. And i am no Trumper. Once again the parallel to…[Read more]

NFT’s are way too sophisticated for his followers. If he wants that market he will need a traditional baseball pack of Trumps with some bubble gum.

Still in all the Trump haters may be drawn to em in terms of aesthetics and sentimentality. Think dart board where his nuts are the bullseye. Think toilet bowl and urinal which may improve a man’s aim.

Enco, i was making a weak joke. Ya know how everything is racist?

100,000, 200,000, half mill. It is all the same. Human fodder. Fungible humans. They can fuck like monkeys and make more of those. The unspeakable disruption, tragedy and pain? The people half a world away who have been fucked over? The risk of nucs? The precedent? The march of…[Read more]

Get back to your darts at the VFW

That is racist!

Piss pot backwards and phonetic is top sip.

amgod backwards is dogma.

I haven’t a clue how accurate or tendentious this guy is. It is a major investment in time to ascertain wtf is reality in Ukraine. It is probably not as great a quagmire as Israel/Palestine conflict but it aint far behind. Everybody with an axe to grind. Everything is fucking biased. Facts? These are great conflicts to get one’s good guy/bad guy…[Read more]

What is a factoid?

Did you know that Norman Mailer coined the word factoid?

We can thank Norman Mailer for factoid: he used the word in his 1973 book Marilyn (about Marilyn Monroe), and he is believed to be the coiner of the word. In the book, he explains that factoids are “facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or…[Read more]

A few words popped into my consciousness. Manifold Fortnight Providence. The aforementioned common in literature and i never hear in conversation.

I love pho. Delicious. Used to call it foe until a vietnamese acqauantaince gave me the dope.

As far as i know in birds it is always the male with bells and whistles.

Just occurred to me how insects have evolved the equivalent of ritualized behavior. Instinct comes to mind as the explanation. Intuitively it makes sense as being evolved.

Yet the bowerbird seems different to me.

Whose brilliant idea was it to add the r in february. It makes it hard to say ten times fast. Febuary ten times fast is like buttah.

Pope, i still think it is amazing how complex rituals are inherited. We easily relate to personality traits, physical characteristics, birth defects, sexual orientation as heritable yet complex dances and rituals seem like they should be learned rather than inherited. Bowerbirds for instance are fascinating.…[Read more]
