I carry a pocket knife mostly for functional purposes, but it also can be used defensively if required. A locking blade mechanism is definitely important. I guess a box cutter could work too.
Is this one of those medbeds I keep hearing about?
have you ever seen a meme before?

“improvisational creativity” aka “pulling something out of your ass”


"In your opinion, if anyone around the world wants to take their revenge on the assassination of Soleimani and intends to do it proportionately in the way they suggest — that we take one of theirs now that they’ve got one of ours — who should we consider to take out in the context of America?
“Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Spider-Man and SpongeBob? They don’t have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large landmass, but it doesn’t have any heroes. All of their heroes are cartoon characters — they’re all fictional.”
Trump is basically a fictional cartoon character, so this checks out.

Various experts and international organisations have described the physical destruction of Gaza, the loss of thousands of innocent lives and property, and the forced exodus of its population as “ethnic cleansing” and even as “potential genocide". Muslims around the world have united to support the Palestinian people’s struggle to safeguard themselves from Israel’s aggression.
However, there is an Islamic organisation that stands in solidarity with Israel, overlooking the history of Palestinian suffering and openly supporting Israel, the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), based in Germany’s Munich city.

In a resolution approved by 283 votes to 199 and 85 abstentions, MEPs say that after five decades of a communist regime Cuba is close to being a failed state. They stress that the current humanitarian emergency -89% of families living in extreme poverty- is “not the product of any external embargo but the direct consequence of the regime’s own model and failures”.
ACUCAB just doesn’t have the same snap to it, but Under Capitalism is an important distinction indeed. Reminds me of a Parenti quote about why socialist states have to have a significant level of state authority because of constant capitalist incursions and subterfuge.
This “Good” Cop / “Bad” Cop routine has been going on for decades. Both parties are still cops and ACAB.
He died of acute high velocity irony to the neck.


Lockheed Martin firmly believes in the value of a diverse workforce for designing and building war crimes platforms!


On 6 March 2025 opposition politicians Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko, after having confirmed that they had held discussions with United States representatives, confirmed that they still opposed elections held during wartime.
So democratic, much liberty.
Posadists also believe that humanity needs to respect and communicate with other intelligent species of our own planet if we are to be worthy of contact by the “space comrades”. Basically humanity needs to sort out its problems at a planetary scale first.
It’s almost like wage labor is a form of servitude to the owners of the means of production under capitalism.
