"Hasn't Iraq made a mockery of us long enough?"

I'm sorry, but this was a wild ad to run in 1999.

this is because a majority of republicans think stephen miller is a republican, which he is not. a handful of them are starting to figure it out, though.
The degree to which Republicans are just letting Stephen Miller do a what amounts to a national Prop 187 level hit on Latino voters is really kinda incomprehensible.

Thanks to @retropals.bsky.social, I am now aware of Home Alone 2: Kevin's Dream, an unreleased Game Boy game which features some kind of nightmarish creature with the heads of Harry and Marv as its final boss.

And now you are too.

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an ordinary man, has defeated the great might of the US Government
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free. every bit of cruelty, boasting, slander, and persecution was for absolutely fucking nothing.

Socialists should take the law seriously, grapple with it, think of how to overhaul and reforge it.

Alright now let’s see the part with 30k NATO soldiers along Ukraine’s side of the DMZ like in Korea.
The US is pushing a "Korean-style" deal for Ukraine: a demilitarized zone from Donetsk to Kherson, frozen frontlines, and NATO-style security guarantees. Zaporizhzhia NPP may go under US oversight. Ukraine could join the EU by 2027 and get $100B in frozen rebuilding assets, with more via BlackRock.

as I've remarked before, cyberpunk isn't 'I glitch into the webframe and draw my katana', it's 'the life of a man working for a criminal syndicate in Myanmar who spends his days pretending to be different women online to steal from the elderly'
People are dying over who gets to steal from a dude in Iowa who thinks the model who "accidentally" texted him has fallen in love with him.
the Thai-Cambodian conflict is at least partially about control of the scam/gambling/prostitution compounds along the border.
