Hunger Games - Let no Fool be Unfooled

A bunch of Jews chasing George Costanza sounds like a scene straight out of Seinfeld.

Oi, politidorks, hit me up with some nuanced articles you've been reading lately.

The author then argues that there was a change in modern society where that's no longer the case, or beginning to decrease, due to media being increasingly focused on crime and entertainment and how there is no longer a platform for politics unless it generates revenue.

Now I'm unsure where the change comes in

Hunger Games - Let no Fool be Unfooled

Jeb Bush starting off the first day by picking a themesong and then running around the woods in a mask humming it is my favorite mental image of the game thus far. I think I am rooting for him now.

‘TO HELL WITH BABE RUTH,’ YELL CHARGING JAPANESE
The New York Times, 3 March 1944, Pg. 2
By the Associated Press.

CAPE GLOUCESTER, New Britain (Delayed) – Staff Sgt. Jeremiah A. O’Leary, a Marine Corps combat correspondent, reports that Japanese troops charged the Marine lines here shouting the strange Japanese battle cry:

“To hell with Babe Ruth!”

The charge was scored as an error. Thirty Japanese were struck out for good.

In New York Babe Ruth replied:

“I hope every Jap that mentions my name gets shot – and to hell with all Japs anyway.”

Wait, hold up, Russian literature is legit. If you have to read something from the 19th century, safest bet is a Russian.

I am convinced the president is a secret Accelerationist

Ehh, Putin might not, but it'd be tempting to Trumpy.

"I don't have to make room in the budget for Flint's/Detroit's disaster relief or the Great Lakes cleanup project if none of those things exist!"

Edit: i hope michigan doesn't get nuked though, i finally like my life

@Taaj

Maybe Assad really is that dumb, but Syria is currently a big clusterfuck and I'm not entirely convinced. There are a dozen other factions vying for control that could have been the ones to deploy the gas, that would make far more sense than Assad just randomly deciding he wants to spice his life up a bit by pissing off the US.

@Pepperm1nts

I'm not saying I know for certain it was him, i'm just saying that it isn't surprising or out of character for a dictator to do something like that. He figures he has Russian protection and that the current US President is weak. Throw that in with the personality of somebody who has had that level of power for so long and you have a good recipe for a gas attack

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Double update: conflicting reports, but at least some sources are saying 59 missiles hit home and the barrage caused zero casualties? Game-changing-ish levels of interesting if true.

@mdk

Said they warned the Russians, which makes sense. This keeps shit in the realm of political maneuvering for now. If they had straight-out went for it without the warning, probably would have killed some Russians and the level of international incident would have been waaaay higher.

It doesn't make any sense. Not only was he winning the war, he had just gotten the US on his side - basically - via Trump, who generally seems to support Russian actions in the area. Not to mention Assad had supposedly given up his chemical weapons stockpiles to the UN a while back. Now, suddenly, he's got more chemical weapons and for some inexplicable reason he's dropping them on his civilians again. Given what we know, it doesn't make any damn sense. Maybe something was happening behind the scenes that would explain this sudden shift in policy, but nothing that is public helps explain why Assad would do something so stupid.

@Pepperm1nts

Dictators do stupid shit all the time. The history of dictatorships is a history of poorly thought out stupid shit.
