It's probably true that drinking piss is better than eating shit, but why do either instead of drinking water?

This has some meme potential.

Your Choices:

[ ] the-democrat 🍆 💦💦🍺

and the watercooler is off limits to ALL patriotic citizens 🚰

any attempt to drink from the watercooler will result in lethal justice top-cop

Time to update those Rambo 3 memes.

This seems like a possible Chinese strategy for naval piracy scenarios. Just put missiles and drones on the cargo ships themselves disguised as regular merchant ships. Not sure how effective that would be long-term in a hot war situation, but it's an interesting concept for these scenarios.

https://asiatimes.com/2026/01/chinas-drone-carriers-hide-in-plain-sight-among-merchant-ships/

Taken together, China’s experiment with weaponized merchant ships signals a strategic shift toward mass, ambiguity and cost-imposition, where combat power is no longer tied to clearly identifiable platforms but embedded within the global fabric of trade itself.

Whether or not the concept proves viable at sea, it alone forces the US and its allies to confront a destabilizing future in which every cargo ship is a potential combatant, stretching deterrence, maritime law and crisis management to their limits.

It's a parody song about how terrible liberals are by Phil Ochs from the civil rights era. He would do it really well.

Sure, once I was young and impulsive; I wore every conceivable pin,

Even went to Socialist meetings, learned all the old Union hymns.

Ah, but I've grown older and wiser, and that's why I'm turning you in.

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

Democrats might also do SA, but at least they are not so rude about it in public.

Now I'm imagining Avery Brooks doing a spoken word version of "Love Me, I'm a Liberal". It slaps pretty hard in my mind.

Is this really just stochastic?

  • politician's house shot up over AI datacenters
  • California warehouse fire
  • Sam Altman house firebombed over AI
  • this new warehouse fire in NYC

Psyops to foment unrest / counter-insurgency at home boomerang

or

Just stochastic decline of empire weeks where decades happen

They also use electrostimulation of the prostate (lmao) in some cases of very recent death. There's a special device for this.

It's actually a complicated legal precedent last I checked that the parents (or even grandparents) get to make the decision to harvest. DNM orders don't seem like anything the genocidal courts have had to consider so far. They probably would rule that it is invalid, because "they're already dead, they get no say" or something.

Just one headline I found with a brief search:

Israeli Supreme Court Rules Child Conceived With Deceased Soldier's Sperm Is War Orphan

Justices rejected the state's argument that a soldier's lack of explicit consent for posthumous reproduction severs the parental link

An overview of the Hannibal Directive policy used on Oct 7th, 2023 that resulted in the IDF killing hundreds of Israelis and other civilians.

Yoav Gallant, who was Israel’s Defense Minister at the time of the attacks, said, “Israeli troops were ordered to shoot and kill captive Israeli civilians on 7 October 2023…”

Here's my old effort post about Hannibal and Oct 7th (includes lots of links): https://hexbear.net/post/1609134

A new trade deal has emerged with Iran and China that seeks to incentivize renewable energy transition for BRICS members. All petro sales (oil and gas) that are settled via BRICS payment systems will now also include renewable energy credits that can be used to offset costs of renewable energy purchases from China. The deal allows BRICS members to access fossil energy while also investing in renewable energy transition.

Dire Straits - Sultans of Fling

It's kind of rough draft. Hopefully I'll have some time later to work it up a bit better.

Dire Straits - Sultans of Fling (featuring IRGC drones and missiles)

or

Dire Straits - Sultans Epstein (self explanatory)

Which is better?

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
