Russia has a name for neighbors that aren’t supposed to have their own foreign policy: the Near Abroad. It’s a wonderfully dialectical term, each half negating the other to create an imperial synthesis... new post hegemon.substack.com/p/trump…

As automated hacking starts to take off, AI company employees are saying that now is a good time to start recording audio logs to leave scattered around

the people who actually predicted the invasion (Mearsheimer was not one of them) were dismissed as cringe lib hysterics because they pointed to putin's imperial ambitions as the cause

ragozin is not pro putin, he's a slavish contrarian and a hack, he's had me blocked for years and his opinions are dumb, but I don't think he should be expelled

we were mutuals for a long while and occasionally commiserated about western policies. he was totally wrong about 2022 but at least admitted it. since then he's drifted into this typical russian liberal-nationalist bullshit, which is also anti-anti-Putin

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Omg!!!! Sam Harris pondering: “Why can’t we eat babies? What’s wrong with eating babies? If we have extra babies around and nobody wants them, why can’t we eat them?” Sick demonic bastard from hell….
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 2014 clip is from Harris's TYT interview with Cenk Uygur. He used 'why can't we eat babies?' as a philosophy seminar hypothetical to probe ethical foundations, noting it sounds insane out of context and makes him look bad. He was not advocating it. youtube.com/watch?v=WVl3BJ… youtube.com/watch?v=NTtMVs…
