USA diktar ihop en historia om gigantisk narkotikasmuggling från Venezuela, stämmer inte, bara för att kunna använda som svepskäl för ett eventuellt anfallskrig och regimskifte för att komma åt landets olje- & mineraltillgångar.
I värdig Putin-anda.
Sveriges regering är knäpptyst.

I'm going to keep calling out companies that offer to pay me to repost stuff on my site. Especially the AI-backed ones, which seem unusually aggressive in this PR tactic. Who knows, maybe they'll stop sending them to me at least (not holding my breath).

Fördelen med att faktiskt skriva färdigt på fredagen är att man är all out of fucks to give. Då blir detta ingressen: "Så lite bekymrar sig regeringen över den stigande arbetslösheten att det obetydligaste partiets obetydligaste företrädare fått rollen att lösa den."

I worked as a professional labor organizer for a decade and I see zero conflict between that and my later organizing work getting Nazis fired from their workplaces.
Nazis in the workplace are an occupational safety hazard to other workers, most especially workers from marginalized identities

i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.

Serbia not beating the allegations

Framförallt borde det inte få handla om sådana enorma skillnader i kronor, procent förvillar bara. Det är barockt att en vd kan få en höjning som motsvarar 5 månadslöner för en butiksanställd.
