Yeah, a really bizarre, deal but this time in Alaska. I'm inclined to think that Putin isn't mentally ill/retarded. I think the breakthrough attack that was recently done was political, meant to intimidate trump before the talks.

I don't know (no clue). Maybe switch threads and it might be ok?

This thread has 39K replies and has been going on since 2015. Maybe it's too much content for one thread (due to all the X links) and it's overloading things (dunno). Probably can avoid this by moving the Trump stuff into trumpland or a new thread.

my last 2 posts disappeared, this thread is cooked lol. I don't see this happening in other parts of the forum? @Matt!

Putin wants the full surrender of the fortress belt and this will certainly be a subject of negotiations with Trump.

The Russians suddenly attacked in the Pokrovsk area and there is a breakthrough on the frontline (Pokrosvk is basically encircled.) This is ahead of the Trump-Putin talks so it appears to be a Putin ordered attack.

watching Alien : Earth. It's really well made, I think it resembles a David Fincher film in its style. TBH it's looking to be better than Ridley Scott's last film. There are new alien monsters in this film. Definitely influenced a lot by the original Alien but also the great 1990s Alien comics/books. But it uses a lot of new concepts like the comics did.

alien earth is out.

What I am saying is that, that was literally how I and other people were taught history in the 1990s. We were basically taught a form of history to be obedient to the state/society's institutions etc. and not question it. I am not a kid now so I don't know how it is taught in 2025. But we had to re-educate ourselves in history as adults. We didn't have such evolved internet and free thinking in those days. The way the mainstream media currently discusses about history/frames history is a reflection of our public school system's conception of reality. Overall that influencer compared historical education to Nazi Germany/North Korea...the reality is that we are not as distant from them as we think.

Taylor's "Tortured poets society" grew on me. I quite like it.. I don't know how her team/she manages to be so productive. She released an album while touring all the time, stops and then releases another one in a few months.. This new album looks like a tone shift to upbeat/pop based on the photos. Like the 'Lover' album. The way they do things is that she switches from light to dark, dark to light to mix things up.

He surely doesn't know too much about history... I attended a higher end public school, I recall one of my history teachers complaining about the flaws of the curriculum they were forced to teach by regulations. We were taught a white washed/triumphant/supremacist/propagandized version of American version of history in the 1990s that seems almost laughable today.
