Picked up Total War: Three Kingdoms a few days ago and will probably put a few hours into it until i have to make dinner.

I was out getting lunch on my first day back from an 8 day work week. I checked my phone to if anything good had been posted to chapotraphouse3 when i saw that everyone had flooded over to blackwolffeed. Took me a minute to realize that we had posted too hard and now everyone was looking for a new home.

Then i clicked off and started browsing twitter.

“They did not just read Ibn Taymiyya. They didn't just read Sayyid Qutb. They didn't just read Hassan al-Banna. They read Lenin, they read Jean-Paul Sartre, they read Fyodor Dostoevsky. They read everything that they could come across as they tried to figure out the future and the way forward and out of that Palestinian impasse."

An interview with Dr. Mohammed Al-Hindi, one of the leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

This guy was a r/neoliberal nerd lmao. Let him rot.

Lmao

um, ackshually, referring to Ukraine as "The Ukraine" is a derogatory term inferring that it is actually an extension of Russia and therefore imperialistic and fuck it i can't do this bit anymore

The old thread is dying, and the new thread struggles to be born: now is the time of posters.

not all of the SS did warcrimes

Beneath all the shitposting and memes about the war, the most moment i've felt about this was when i was in Cuba earlier this year. I had a conversation with an older russian man, and he showed me pictures on his phone. Pictures of his youth, hanging out with friends, drinking, partying, etc. But, he also showed me pictures of his unit. A ragtag mix of russians and ukrainians. All under the red banner. He showed me a picture of him at a cafe with those same people many years later. 2021. He doesn't know if he'll ever see them again.

Hell yeah Gunther

Wait, who's piloting the plane? My god! It's the ghost of kiev!
