WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN RENT AN APARTMENT ABOVE A LIBRARY? I’m sorry people just want to get in the way of being in the kingdom of god to earth.

"clearly has" is doing a lot of work in soulkhan's post because i just genuinely cannot see what those ramifications should be
the ramifications of building affordable housing on top of libraries is:
-more affordable housing
-renovated library
-all at reduced cost to taxpayers (as housing rents subsidize the library renovation)
it’s the most obvious win-win ever so of course these left-NIMBY weirdos oppose it

If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.

The notion that social media should be a welcoming and nonhostile environment for political journalists is crazy. It's a view you could only conceivably hold if it was your first day of being on social media
The H*l*n L*w*s biannual crashout on here is so fascinating to me; she's clearly frustrated because UK politics Bluesky would be such a natural home for her but for That One Thing.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Lol at me catching a block for this but anyway "lol I hope he fucking dies" as enunciated against a politician who has done relatively little to offend us is an extremely normal part of everyday sentimentality in Lithuania and if it isn't where you are I think that's a bit odd.
"Our political culture is one of emotive maneouvres and willingness to voice anger, outrage, and disgust very vocally" is one of the many reasons why in my opinion this is true. If the Estonians can't relate that's a them issue, I am obviously only speaking for myself.

Ok now this broadly sounds like the beginning of regime collapse
In Iran, unrest is escalating as security forces increasingly lay down arms. Today, insurgents took over Malekshahi after law enforcement switched sides. In Ilam, police refused orders to disperse demonstrations. Fierce clashes between protestors and security forces were also reported in Shiraz.

THUCYDIDES: In my book I invented the Melian Dialogue as a cautionary tale
DIPSHITS TALKING ABOUT IR WHO WANT TO SOUND SMART: At long last, we have done the Melian Dialogue from the classic book Don't Do the Melian Dialogue
DIPSHITS TALKING ABOUT IR WHO WANT TO SOUND SMART: At long last, we have done the Melian Dialogue from the classic book Don't Do the Melian Dialogue
The Melian Dialogue has a similar role to the Clausewitz quote about “politics by other means” - it exists to give a bit of frisson and even sexual pleasure to morons who have never read those quotes in context but who are still desperate to sound smart.
People who fancy quoting the Melian Dialogue ("the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must") ignore the fact that Thucydides was clearly portraying this as the kind of hubris that squandered Athens' primacy and paved the way for a devastating peer war that it ultimately lost.

also on a more banal level i dont hope he does it because the mask is not worth the harm to the people of greenland
I was listening to @thebulwark.com's Next Level podcast today and they were thinking through the chance that Trump actually tries to seize Greenland and there was a @jvl.bsky.social sort of 'I kinda hope he does it to drop the mask entirely' and I just cannot scream loudly enough: No, You Do Not. 1/

Basically, the 1994 Polish-Lithuanian Treaty on Friendly Relations explicitly lists the capitals of each state as Warsaw and Vilnius (on Lithuania’s insistence because of *points at a statue of Lucjan Żeligowski*) and so would need to be amended if either decided to move the seat of government

Like, fundamentally, putting all matters of gender and sexual identity aside, the entire concept of websites like this is really stupid and we're all idiots for thinking people posting professionally under their own names and anonymous Animal Crossing lewd fan art accounts can mix safely.

Another large following account spreading misinformation. This is demonstrably false. Sagi, the judge who was killed, was not a judge in Netanyahu's trial. Not even a judge in the same judicial district.
Here is a link to the docket, where Sagi is NOT listed.
Please report.

What do you mean. The national flag (the Saltire) is outside government buildings every day
The Progress Pride standard will appear on government buildings at least four times, but the national flag will be raised only on Remembrance Sunday
SNP will fly Pride flag more often than Union Jack this year

if in the process of defending ourselves from russia we destroy everything that actually makes us different from russia then what was the goddamn point. language? music?
I believe in my country's independence from Russia not least because I believe in my right to sometimes say something really nasty about public figures without serious repercussion, and Volkov, as a resident of that country, enjoys that right too!
