No idea why but this very pedestrian, profanity free video has been flagged by YouTube and cannot be viewed in “restricted mode” which severely limits its impact.

Do any YouTube creators out there know how to appeal this?

The reign of Gordian III epitomized the ineffectiveness of imperial authority during the 3rd century. But why were the empire’s elite unable to break the cycle of disorder and violence? youtu.be/4WoqyXLnbP4?...

Trump also implied that the US approves of Hamas killing collaborators of Israel lol

Seems to have flown under the radar but Trump hedged and seemingly backed off the idea that Tony Blair was absolutely set to be the overseer of some purportedly future Gaza transitional authority

my father (a retired white engineer who has been in oklahoma for 40 years) is my weathervane for what normal people who just watch the news periodically think, and he was like “so, they want to call the guard out on a bunch of kids wearing frog suits? is that true?”, the admin is losing the PR war

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

There are a multitude of reasons for 4,000 dollar gold, but chief among them has to be the leader of the country with the current reserve currency doing things like:
Friday: fuck you China, a million percent tariffs you little shits
Sunday: look, China, I didn't mean it, I love you man

So a sentence you would hear in this context: Actually, I heard you disrespecting the armed forces… My cousin is in the Black Heart Companies, he serves as a dread sergeant and he commands a squadron of riff raff, driven to acts of performative cruelty by his biting lash! So what do you say to that?
