  1. Feel like my entire body got worked over with the rubber hose. 102 fever. Just took a Covid test and it was positive. That new omicron variant gives no shits about vaccines or boosters. The more I read about these new variants I figured it was inevitable that I got it. I was right.

    Here’s Rand Paul being a complete shit, repeating Kremlin talking points and pretending like voting “present” is somehow less shitty than “no” on Nordic NATO:

    It’s just an issue of balancing resources.  As the population ages, a higher % of resources ends up allocated to the elderly.  Elderly people can no longer work.  The burden of responsibility to provide their needs falls to the younger working people.  In a population with a sustained birth date >~2.3, there are plenty of young people such that providing for the elderly (whether it be funding social programs or directly caring for them) is no big deal.  Once the rate gets <~1.7 that burden starts to be very very heavy.

    It’s like you fuckers just gave up on Mother Nature’s ability to mutate avian flu and the like.   Covid was a dry run.

    Per Wiki, this is that awesome battalion:

    Brigade political officer Vyacheslav Izmailov, interviewed twenty years later, described his unit and the army in general as an "ill-trained rabble" only capable of "filling Chechnya with corpses" in a conflict that was "not a war, but banditry on both sides." He recalled one incident in which more conscripts were sent to the unit than they had food supplies for, which resulted in them being sent back to Russia when the Khankala battalion commander found that his replacements were malnourished to the extent that they could not walk to the canteen on their own.”

     

    Looks like the present sad Ruskie fuckery is actually just the norm.

    The Ambassadors were fired because "they had contact with Russia." That's all they said in the news. So that could mean a lot of things.

     

    They possibly got contacted by Russian interests about some kind of off-ramp or resolution that was less than total recovery of Ukrainian land. Even if they were not receptive, any contact with Russian interests that were not reported to Zelenskyy would be a big problem.
