I’m going to start replying to everything like I’m on Hacker News. Unhappy with Congress? Why don’t you just start a new country and write a constitution and secede? It’s not that hard once you know how. Actually, I wrote a microstate in a weekend using Rust.
I love reading ancient cuneiform tablets. Classics such as "Fuck you, this copper sucks." (Ea Nasir), "I should get more new clothes, my dad's employee gets new clothes twice a month and it's embarrassing.", and of course "The sesame harvest will die — let nobody say I did not warn you!", which is absolutely a set up for "Per my last clay tablet.".

Social media & email may be
part of the problem. But if we're still like this when we have to carve our petty bullshit into clay then it's clear that we're the problem. It's us.
The Russian reaction to Ukraine's invasion of Kursk is somewhat misunderstood. They may be slow, but they are not paralyzed. We should expect them to escalate the war, but that will require the use of conscripts. They are progressing slowly to avoid domestic backlash.

In today’s 300th #vatniksoup, I’ll go through some of the most heroic feats that Ukrainians have achieved since #Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

@Gerashchenko_en: "Volodya, as always, beat everyone." A Russian woman lists Putin's "achievements". What would you add to her list?

Ukrainian ground drones drive towards Russian dugouts, positions themself on top of it and than explode. After the dugouts are uncovered, FPV's are being launched to destroy everything inside.

And people still want to dilude themselves that Russia is not our enemy. We are in this together and we are next after Ukraine. #Russia #Ukraine

Ten years of confrontation with the Kremlin, and especially the past two years, have fundamentally changed Ukraine. These changes are not superficial or easily swept away.
My peers and I wanted... government officials who would resign at the exposure of petty corruption scandals. What we did not want were irremovable, lifetime dictators who packed the government with cronies on the take and sent goons to beat us up in the streets.

Ukraine Has Changed Too Much to Compromise With Russia

My generation has tasted freedom and experienced a competitive, vibrant political life. We can’t be made a part of what Russia has become.

What an apt reference.
