oh no y’all, I’m watching libs pivot from emission reduction to carbon capture, we’re so cooked
I feel sad seeing all these Gazans on Instragram asking for donations, knowing I can’t give them anything since I don’t have a credit card
joined bluesky recently (against my better judgment) and spent like 4 hours trolling a guy who was talking out of his ass about how Ukraine will totally licherally win any day now, and I just kept asking the simple question of “how??”. They basically just kept saying “muh advanced technology” and I was like… is there some sort of portal technology that the US has been sitting on? What possible “technology” can undo the fact that Russia has already completed several of it’s war objectives while UKR has completed exactly none of them. Americans really do believe they’re invincible and it’s just by good grace that they don’t conquer the rest of the world by force.
I was at a party this weekend and I heard someone say: ‘Yeah I’m terrified of China becoming a global super power’. I don’t drink and I didn’t feel like arguing with a drunk guy so I just went to get some food but it was interesting hearing a take like that in the wild.
yeah man, how fucked up would it be to have to have to constantly fear a genocidal hegemony who can surveil your every thought, holds a nuclear arsenal, has a total strangehold over the means of information, and ruthlessly destroys any perceived threat to itself. What a nightmare. /s
Pics that go hard…successful ambush by Hezbollah on the IOF:
I apparently had two intense workouts at the gym this week and now my whole body is sore on a monday. Everything for the gains tho.
What will happen this week? No idea. I feel a bit foggy brained like I’m in between things and I don’t know what exactly.
On a more positive note: the elections seem to have given us a good amount of new members who want to be active in our local groups ✌🏼

Good morning or late/early afternoon everyone
Consistent with the combination of pride and dread that characterized the imaginings of German nationalists, [Carl] Peters maintained that the failure to pursue imperialism would be disastrous, for it would result in the extinction of the Germans as a people.⁵²

FFXV A New Empire is going to shut down on December 30. I’m so lucky to have started playing right before it got delisted from app stores. Well it’s mobile game trash so idk if lucky is the right word, but I’m happy I didn’t miss out on it like King’s Knight or War for Eos.
We’re currently looking for volunteers to moderate a few rooms in the GZD Matrix space, especially those in UTC-1 to UTC+8 (roughly Europe, Africa and the western half of Asia). If you’ve been active in the Matrix space for at least a few months and are interested, DM any of the mods in the space and we’ll send some vetting questions and guidelines.
