If you wrote something like that, loading the Bad Guy ship with Gestapo agents (as was the case!) and doing it as a surprise attack at night in, like, a sci-fi novel, your editor would tell you it was too on the nose!

I suspect part of what draws one to the moment is also the astounding moral clarity: you've got an ultra-modern heavy cruiser loaded with Nazis, launching an unprovoked, unannounced surprise attack on a neutral country, with only an aging fortress in the way.
I mean, fuck them Nazis.

For whatever reason, I've always been fascinated by the battle. It's significant for making the Norwegian government-in-exile possible, but I've always found it a compelling historical moment as an act of defiance against the Nazis, by a power that could not hope to win, but defied them anyway.

Oh neat, there's apparently another film treatment of the Battle of Drøbak Sound (youtu.be/ccz0EXDYg9E?...) and the sinking of the Blücher. Alas, as with the King's Choice (2016) it doesn't seem like they included Eriksen's incredible "Either I will be decorated or I will be court-martialed. Fire!"

I'm honestly shocked it took this long to happen.
They have elevated "parental rights" above science & given them the ability to veto your child being alive.
Get an abortion, they will chase you to the ends of the earth.
Infect a preschool & put them in the ICU... gods will.

The Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza puts lie to that.
This is part of the absurd lie that 'antizionists' spread for their political purposes. NO ONE who has spent any time in Israel would say it's racially segregationist. It is a multicultural country, a democracy, in which there are simply no laws segragating people by race, ethnicity etc.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

It sounds insane to say that a load-bearing pillar of right wing thought now is the desire to fuck your female family members paired with the obsession that Democrats will make you watch them fuck men of a different skin color and bear their children, but time makes Lovecraft protagonists of us all
The whole thing where Republicans are openly posting like weird fetish blogs about sex is so weird, even or perhaps especially in the context of their desire to resurrect the patriarchy

no, no, you see, they'll reach out to conservative voters for their new audience, a wonderfully successful strategy which has already been paying off for the Washington Post.
In our recent October poll, 2% of Americans said their primary source of news was CBS. They disapprove of Trump by a net 20 points.
I doubt a campaign against elites and academia — left-coded groups, in the Trumpian formulation — is going to help ratings www.gelliottmorris.com/p/what-your-...

but again this is an uncomfortable admission, since it would mean that there *is* a sense in which putin and xi are right--that america is, in some ways, a threat to them
but that threat has never consisted of "nato expansion" or whatever deranged bullshit. the threat is our example.

stalin was consumed by the idea of "capitalist encirclement," by the sense that the capitalist world didn't like communism and preferred for it to fail. and while he was wrong on the paranoid, conspiratorial details... he was right about the basic point!

A lot of people are making a big deal about this, but it actually is unironically perfectly normal for doctors to repeatedly give you cognitive exams, even when your keep acing them, as your general health rapidly declines in the six months before you die.

ICE is gross. In a lawsuit over inhumane detention conditions on floor 6 of ICE building in San Francisco resulted in a preliminary injunction. So ICE moved detainees to floor 5, claiming that skirts the injunction. Judge says, no way.
