Russia? Full-on cynical thug mode. No pretense, no moral fluff. They bomb, lie, and shrug — and don’t even try to look noble doing it.
The West? Now that’s the real show. Constant smiles, speeches about “values,” “rules-based order,” and “democracy” — while running drone wars, backing shady regimes, and bending the rules whenever it’s convenient.
And that’s what makes it more dangerous: the West actually believes its own(!) moral PR. It plays global sheriff while quietly acting like just another empire — only with better branding and a bigger arsenal
End vom Lied?
One side’s a cynical bastard. The other is a cynical bastard with a savior complex. And that one’s got better and bigger media team.

China, Indonesia, and South Korea warn of global fallout after US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, urging restraint and diplomatic resolution amid rising tensions.Al Mayadeen English (Asian powers condemn US strikes on Iran nuclear sites)
#geopolitics #imperialism #war
Today, even that pretence is gone. In Gaza, and now with the strikes on Iran, the gloves are fully off. What we’re witnessing is a regression to a kind of global lawlessness — a “might makes right” free-for-all where nothing is off limits: not the mass slaughter of civilians, not the bombing of nuclear sites, not even the complete sidelining of international institutions. And all of this is happening in the nuclear age — a reality that brings us to the next point.

The third estate, those of perquisitive classposture, wanted to go back to normal. Wanted to go back to their brunches.
The second estate, those of oligarch classposture, would have continued to find means to extract rents even if we all remained in quarantine in perpetuity.
Until we grapple with the fact that those everyone wants to blame #PublicHealth apologism on, the second estate, in point of fact sequestered wildly more wealth when public health interventions were in effect...
We will continue to spout the comfortable myth that it was some minuscule minority of people who are to blame for those health interventions being abandoned...
Letting the powerful plurality of people who just wanted to go back to having someone serve them at a restaurant...
Continue to behave as if they've nothing to do with any of this.

As Paul Waldman notes, somehow the US got through a couple of hundred years without law enforcement officers needing to cover their faces. Yet suddenly this is the norm for the Trump administration, which claims this is necessary to protect the officers. Why?

"Government agents, especially but not only those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will now wear masks when prowling through American streets, raiding homes and workplaces, snatching people out of their cars, rounding up immigrants or people who look like immigrants, and carting them away in unmarked vehicles."

"This image of masked men ready to do violence is everywhere now, just as the administration wants. The practical purpose is to remove the possibility of accountability, but there’s another message it sends: Unlike even previous iterations of state violence, this is a form of power with which there is no negotiating."

I do!
It is difficult to do full time and make enough, which is what I am doing. I've been in business for 15 years so I have a lot of repeat customers now.
I also started an email newsletter around 8 years ago. If I hadn't have done that, I probably would not have survived.
However, if you are wanting to do stuff for fun and profit on the side, it is different. I have some ideas that I could certainly talk over.
Depends on if you want to sell stuff or offer services.
For fun, pick a computer you like to refurbish, do some upgrades. List it for sale.
If no one buys, you still have a computer you like.
ThinkPad laptops are my specialty... but other laptop lines could also work well.

If you like gaming computers, do those... but cost more to get into the mid-range and higher end.
If you like Linux or retro gaming, there's older computers that are not supported by Windows 11, but will be great for Batocera Linux and add a couple Logitech USB game controllers.
List it and see if any one buys.
Yes, you would have to deal with people.

1 year hardware warranty. So yes I do.
That doesn't cover someone accidentally stepping on their laptop or installing malware.
Setting the terms of the deal up front is a way to avoid that situation.
Sometimes people are unreasonable, but usually not. Question for those types of people would be "If you had bought this from Walmart, would you expect them to give you the kind of service you are demanding from me?"
I have a HP laptop my secondary school gave me because disabilities.
When you shake it, it rattles, but it still works. I used to use it for a Minecraft server.
I would use it as a server today but I can't find the power cable and the battery's dead.
Likely it has a common HP power adapter. Feel free to let me know what model and I can tell you what power adapter it uses.
I am sure I have a compatible power adapter, if you'd like to get one.
Under the battery it says "Presario CQ57" and "Model: CQ57-460EA".

SACRAMENTO, the United States, June 21 (Xinhua) -- A sudden squall overturned a pleasure craft on Caen.people.cn
"According to several biographers, #Vladimir #Lenin was intolerant of opposition and often dismissed outright opinions that differed from his own. He could be "venomous in his critique of others", exhibiting a propensity for mockery, ridicule, and ad hominem attacks on those who disagreed with him. He ignored facts that did not suit his argument, abhorred compromise, and very rarely admitted his own errors. He refused to change his opinions, until he rejected them completely, after which he would treat the new view as if it was just as unchangeable. Lenin showed no sign of sadism or of personally desiring to commit violent acts, but he endorsed the violent actions of others and exhibited no remorse for those killed for the revolutionary cause."

🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Statement by the Iranian Armed Forces:
'Noble and Resilient Nation of Iran!
Following the blatant military aggression of the criminal regime of the United States of America against the peaceful nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the clear violation of international law, by the order of the Supreme National Security Council and the leadership of the Central Headquarters of the Rasool Al-Azam, the IRGC with the sacred code of ' Ya Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein' has targeted the Al-Udeid base in Qatar with a devastating and powerful missile attack in Operation Besharat Fatah.
This base is the headquarters of the Air Force and the largest strategic asset of the U.S. terrorist army in the West Asian region.
The message of this decisive action of the sons of the nation in the armed forces is clear and unequivocal for the White House and its allies:
The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on God Almighty, relying on the faithful and famous people of Islamic Iran, will not leave its territorial integrity, sovereignty and national security unanswered under any circumstances.
With the aggression of the American enemy, it became clear to everyone that the evil of the Zionists was an extension of the Americans' design. Accordingly, we remind you that in this national defense, the U.S. bases and mobile military targets in the region are not a point of strength, but rather a major weakness and a thorn in the side of this warmongering regime.
On the eve of the month of Muharram, the month of mourning for the leader and commander of martyrs, Hazrat Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS), we once again warn the enemies of Islamic Iran that the era of hit-and-run is over, and the will of the country's powerful people's armed forces.
Any repetition of U.S. aggression will lead to the acceleration of the collapse of the U.S. military pillars in the region, their ignominious escape from West Asia, and the realization of the common aspiration of the Islamic Ummah and the freedom-loving nations of the world in eradicating the cancerous tumor of Zion.'

There are some pointed criticisms about the entire concept, but I can definitely appreciate why people find the idea attractive.
My professional contacts are acting strange. The ones who know that I'm a weak fit for government research are shutting me out. The ones who *don't* know that are desperately reaching out.
There's a stupidly huge number of job postings for DoD contractors. They actually pay industry standard - they usually pay garbage.
Something's happening, I don't know what it is.
cc @Elliptica
I personally suspect that our government is trying to develop some previously inconceivable military technology. I'll call such a secret project "Z," out of ignorance of what it actually is. My discipline is highly specialized, but it's also so broadly applicable that "our government wants CMD to be useful" gives zero fucking information other than "there's a camera of some kind somewhere" which could easily just mean 'we want new face detection tech to keep Z out of our enemy's hands."
The US has been atrocious at keeping secrets for decades. DOGE was obviously a government purge - I suspect that this was actually done to throw out people who our government suspects would leak information about Z. That is, this was a transition from a pseudo-peacetime civil service to a wartime civil service.
Our government is trying to scrape up scientists from the streets right now - if it wasn't, I wouldn't know shit. It cannot find enough suitable scientists to develop Z. That must mean Z is either big enough that it requires a stupidly huge number of scientists, or the US scientific community is full of people unfit to work on Z. I'd suspect it's the latter - American scientists are mostly driven by one of two desires: the desire to publish public research or money.
Patriotism in the scientific community is very low. Unfortunately, the scientists that *do* fill our National Labs are...not the best, nor the brightest. They're usually driven by the desire for a stable job where they don't have to compete...a desire held by incompetent people. They are not *idiots*, but they are undeniably outclassed by the typical university professor, and they are comically outclassed by people selling you ads.
I think we're looking at a second nuke race. I don't know what the next "nuke" is, but whatever it is the US government is trying to make it right now.
