@Mondoweiss 🇵🇸 97% of Israelis are Ashkenazi so no big surprise here. Let us continue our child sacrificing or else you'll die. Why does this us support this? AIPAC, Mossad, and politicians who can't keep their dick in their pants.
@Mondoweiss 🇵🇸 My numbers are the results of a recent genetic survey. I do not know the specifics of how large the sample size was or if it was regional or across the entire country but a country that size I wouldn't expect a huge discrepancy.
In June, the USA had only a little more than 6000 encounters with illegals at the border, and of those, there were zero let into the country. ZERO!!!
But remember when Biden & Harris were in charge, letting 200K illegals in every month, and Joe said that Congress needed to pass his bill? That there was nothing he could do to stop them from coming in unless Congress passed his law?
Well, I don’t recall Trump signing any immigration bill, but yet, they have stopped the illegals from coming in.
Yes. He fucked the border with executive actions, and he could have unfucked it with executive actions. He did what he wanted to do and made bullshit excuses about it.
I'm kind of surprised. I finished the first draft of Future Sepsis tonight.
Final word count is 67,912 words.
The original plan was for 60,000 words completed 1,000 per week starting in January and ending sometime in early 2026. Obviously I was able to have some very productive weeks.
Planning to edit in 3 passes using different techniques for each pass to catch different potential problems in the work, then I'll have to start all the legwork of getting it out there.
For anyone who goes "This dummy writes too much in his posts", just imagine -- I've been writing this much outside of my posts! 😛

20,000 more rural homes currently under construction.
Total = 100,700 rural homes built or being built.
🇰🇵 DPRK Population (Estimate):
~25 million people
We’ll assume:
These homes are for rural areas only (not urban high-rises).
These are single-family or small-unit homes, likely modest, i.e., working-class style.
🧮 DPRK per capita housing construction:
100,700 homes / 25,000,000 people ≈ 1 home per 248 people
🔧 Step 2: Compare with USA (Working-Class Focus)
🇺🇸 U.S. Population:
~336 million (2025 est.)
🏗️ U.S. Annual Housing Construction:
According to U.S. Census data:
2023: ~1.45 million new housing units were started.
About 65–70% are single-family homes, the rest are multi-family.
A significant share are high-end homes or investment properties, not working-class housing.
🎯 Filter: Working-Class Style Homes
Assumptions:
Assume 50% of new homes are working-class homes.
(Removes many luxury homes, vacation homes, and speculative units.)
50% of 1.45 million = 725,000 working-class homes annually
🧮 U.S. per capita housing construction (working class):
725,000 homes / 336,000,000 people ≈ 1 home per 463 people

🧠 Insight
On a per capita basis, the DPRK is currently building nearly twice as many working-class homes as the U.S. — 1 per 248 people vs. 1 per 463.
DPRK's campaign is state-directed, rural-focused, and ideological, aligning with their "Rural Revolution".
The U.S. system is market-driven, uneven, and often skewed toward urban and suburban developments, with working-class housing increasingly squeezed by:
Zoning laws
Rising material and labor costs
NIMBYism
Profit motive favoring luxury construction
🏁 Conclusion
The DPRK — despite sanctions, isolation, and limited resources — is currently outperforming the U.S. in building working-class homes per capita during this rural housing campaign.
The U.S., with a far larger economy, could do much better, but market distortions, speculation, and class dynamics reduce the actual rate of affordable housing production.
Let me know if you'd like this broken down by region (e.g., U.S. rural vs urban), or if you'd like a comparison over a decade.
@nanook Nigga shut the fuck up. We have had a deficit of homes in the USA at least since 2008. That the DPRK is beating us in building homes is a fucking embarrassment. That I am putting attention to this isn't something to tell me to leave for. I'm literally advocating for the USA to try harder in treating its citizens with respect by building more homes, while getting shit on by citizens like you who are blind and retarded "patriots". No idea if you are American but if you are, you are a fucking retard. Happy 4th you faggot.
@Sovereign I don't argue that we have, but I wouldn't accept a North Korean lifestyle to resolve it. If you can't have food to eat having a place to live is somewhat irrelevant.
@Sovereign Yea well nuff said I guess. People who won't learn history are destined to relive it and unfortunately the rest of us are destined to be dragged along for the ride.
If you think the left are losing their mind now, wait until the Dow hits 45,000 points AND the FED drops the prime rate by 1 basis point. The former may happen on Monday, and the later just may occur a week or so after.
BTW, as an update, I finally got a job. It's contract to perm, but I'm certain that I will get a full time permanent job by the end of the year... Now. I will have increased confidence if the FED comes through with at least two rate cuts (making the cost of money lower to corporations, so they will increase investment in talent).
Ex-Labour MP Zarah Sultana has announced she is resigning from the party, saying she will be founding a new party with her former leader Jeremy Corbyn. 🔥
Sultana, the Coventry South MP stripped of the Labour whip last year for backing a move to scrap the two-child benefit cap, said the new party would be formed with other independent MPs and activists, aiming to challenge a "broken" Westminster system.
My community does its Independence Day parade tonight, followed directly afterward by the fireworks. It’s nice not having to fight people for spots along the route and to be able to see the fireworks, though I do sort of miss it.
Where you have - over $500K of pay for one lifeguard for a single year (2024) - over $700k of overtime pay for five years and plenty of other examples.
Uh guys? I'm watching Trump's ralley and he just was listing off all the bad groups of people and he mentioned we gotta do something about the Shylocks. I was like wait what? I had to look it up

😩 My intention isn't to swing in, shaming ourguys for being excited--but rather to rein in the jumping whenever we're shown the barest ankle. It's a tease (and one likely even unintended, tbh).
Elon did a straight up Roman salute. A tease--perhaps intended. Trump (after saving Israel just last week) is not rallying a cry against jews or even "just the business coy jews" in saying "Shylock."
He's doing boomer-tier, reddit name-calling. That's just an old businessman's "Voldemort", "Vader." It's calling out a *business* practice. He's just naming a fictional character, real reddit-level stuff.
Why such an obscure one? It's not. It's old business lingo. (I'm not in business, but even I've heard this, have read this term--even in normie books.) It's like the left saying "the 1%" or the right saying "international globalists." They're not nudge-nudge nodding. Trump is inviting 500,000+ Chinese on visas. He's not "saving Israel for last" or thinking about the 14 words. His married kids are married off to jews.
Have a good night despite this, guys, but don't gush over a boomer when he speaks like a redditor to show off his Yuge Brain at the 250th Pride Parade.
i watched, curious, thought you were going to show a clip of some shocker--only for it just be a republican at the 250th Pride Parade saying "and you know what? i hate [democrats]" 🙄 wuh-oh watch out don't slip on all that winning
Regardless of Oval Office revisionism, Americans should never forget that their nation was forged in resistance to political slavery and claims by distant masters to unlimited power. Let us remember that the United States was founded on freedom, liberty and the rugged individualism of the White patriarchy. That's what they have taken from us.
The Declaration on Taking Up Arms contains flashes of wisdom that should have been burned into popular memory as much as any phrase from the following year’s Declaration of Independence. In 1775, Congress boldly declared that “our attachment to no nation upon earth should supplant our attachment to liberty.” Unfortunately, Washington policymakers long ago buried that maxim in their pursuit of dominating much of the globe.
Mother effer. A "McAfee" scammer convinced my aunt's husband to email them a copy of their check. So now the bad guys have the routing and account number and it's a bank Holiday tomorrow. All kinds of mayhem can ensue.
i assumed EQ stood for equalizer and typically the frequency bands go from low to high, left to right. so my images eq would have bass to the max and everything else as is.
I was about 12 and my brother, 8 and we were dropping firecrackers in coke bottles and our 6 yo brother wanted in on the action so we would light them and drop them in his bottle. One didn't go off until he looked into the bottle and I'll never forget he looked up and said "I can't hear anything." Lucky for me it was temporary.

So, is it just me, or is the idea that a person can simply be flown literally *anywhere* in the world and "dropped off" regardless of where they hold citizenship maybe ONE OF THE CRAZIEST FUCKING THINGS YOU'VE EVER HEARD?
Also, where is Elena Kagan? Did she have a stroke? Was she eaten by Clarence Thomas and now resides as a chimeric parasitic organism in his torso? Did she catch whatever Fetterman caught?
In the words of one Mayor, here is how Trump and #ICE are harming Americans: “It is a campaign of domestic terror that is being imposed on our residents on a daily basis. It is a level of psychological warfare that I’ve only seen in theaters of war. It’s terrifying seeing it being displayed here in my city”: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j… #racism #brutality #politics #immigration copy: @renewedresistance
"The well was constructed by cutting a shaft down to the water line, then intricately weaving the wicker wall to create what is basically a large, bottomless basket with sails (uprights) woven into the horizontal weavers lining the shaft. The gap between the wicker and the cut shaft was filled with large timbers which the archaeologists believe was waste wood."
In April 2024, Mongabay published a report about local concerns being raised in connection to the largest lithium mine operating in Zimbabwe.
Following publication of the report, Zimbabwe’s Environmental Management Agency took action to conduct an assessment of water pollution reported in association with the Matezva Dam – a drinking water source for hundreds of local people and their livestock. As a result, regulators fined the mining company for three violations.
@Mongabay Doesn't matter as long as we get that CO2 down and keep transferring more wealth and power to Gates and Schwab doncha know. Wouldn't want to feed the plants too much and have them take over the world.

It’s wild to live in a country where the government is actively creating problems where none existed prior.
I’m used to government attempts to solve problems poorly but this is just shooting yourself in the foot repeatedly with bigger and bigger guns each time.
Day 3 of #RFFF25 and another delightful event and gathering of friends.
Many thanks to Damon Thomas @ruralgloom for bringing #spokenWord to the streaming fest. And for comfy presentation of a tiny fraction of his amazing writing on such relatable memories and slice of life tales of southern gothic and rural gloom charm.
