Read down 🧵to get the lede: the US had indicted a Russian man as a "malign influencer seeking to interfere in the US elections"; his charges rated 15 years in prison. We offered a $10M reward. Montegnegro arrested him. Then Trump intervened to get him released back to Russia. 1/

Everyone keeps trying to make clean “us vs them” sides for the escalating global conflict/kind of WW3 but it’s impossible because globalized capital means every asset belongs to at least 3 nationalities and everyone is both at war with and paying each other the whole time.

Russians delivering piss instead of diesel pretty much summarize their foreign affairs of the last few centuries

Posting proof you lied about your identity in order to trick a healthcare provider into potentially violating patient privacy laws is one way to incriminate yourself.

This explains why Texas separatists, with their totally coincidentally identical “Veteran, Christian, Father, MAGA” bios, have suddenly gone awfully quiet today, right alongside their Quebec counterparts, conspiracy whackos, and Polish anti-EU eurosceptics

I think of email as an advanced form of physical mail, but my students think of it as an archaic form of texting. This difference causes a lot of miscommunication.

now a deleted post, but this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

Srpska is tiny and broke, so all the more odd that Banja Luka's now a major MAGAsphere pilgrimage site, up there with Jerusalem and Orbán-era Budapest. DJT Jr and Bettina have been. So have Giuliani, Mike Flynn, Lara Logan, Blagojevich, LaCivita & Blair, Katie Wiles. Also Yarvin:

Waiting at gate at Tel Aviv airport to go back to US, checked my email. A reader of my Substack wrote this below. It's terrifying to me, but we have to know this is real, so we can fight it. I'm a 59-year-old Gen Xer; v. few people my age & older have any idea this is going on.
