i haven't been comforted so much by a game like disco elysium in a long time. it's so therapeutic, imaginative, and the perfect level of melancholy. already on my second playthrough and it will probably not be the last

i love entering a hypnagogic state and still being awake enough to feel it / remember it. everything around me is yellow and it's nice and comforting :) yellow :)

Lots of gunfire near the presidential palace in Caracas, Venezuela.

The AFP reports that the president’s office claims that everything is under control.

really tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability

In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

Feels like for a lot of people, the president's biggest sin is just being to blunt too put a nice, jingoistic, propagandistic cover on what the what US is and does and always has been.

Public figures squawking about democracy and liberation while he goes "BLOOD AND OIL" is darkly, darkly funny.

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

Why has everyone lost the plot so badly? Is it not enough to condemn US imperialism? Can we ever truly focus on the victims of imperialism? Is everything about sabre rattling? Putin has never needed US approval to invade and bully other countries!
What a great day for Vladimir Putin! I can picture him in the Kremlin, watching the EU & the UK play dumb while Trump trashes Int. Law, their media reporting Maduro's abduction as an 'arrest'. I bet he's thinking: Should I also detain Zelensky and subject him to Russian justice?

I checked to see if the Australian Government has said anything about Venezuela.

PM Albanese posted about Medicare 8 hours ago. Nothing from FM Wong since Boxing Day. on holidays? DFAT wished everyone a happy new year 2 days ago.

PMC last updated 'acting ministerial arrangements' up to September.
