Who isn't racing out the door at 5pm? I trade labor for wages, I'm not sticking around for unpaid overtime just to make some investor who's never worked a day in his life even richer.

My favorite genre of journalism: other countries' journalists writing about the US the same way the US writes about their countries. I'm just sad they didn't dredge up some "America expert" who's never been to the US and doesn't speak English to call for mass balkanization of the country followed by conspiracy theory screeds for the extra flavor.
I'm sure he'll think real hard about what he's done on the way home. Maybe even dry his tears with the truckloads of money and munitions Harris is complicit in handing him without reservation to commit genocide with.
A gaggle of particle physicists standing in a circle chanting "RING! WORLD! RING! WORLD!"
You won't be able to drive them on the road unless the DoT has done safety testing on that specific model of car. You can own one, you're just not going to be able to put plates on it or get it insured.
Presumably there are enough sane Ukrainian officials left to not want to wake up to nuclear hellfire.
While I wouldn't put it past Google/YouTube to do something as shitty as this, I think people are far too quick to assume foul play over the much more likely possibility that the world's largest video platform occasionally shits itself.
The US once again going through a dozen Suez Canal crises all at once, each one somehow more cartoonishly stupid than the last.
At this point I feel like if you want to radicalize someone just point them to a picture of that barely-welded-together mess and tell them their tax money went towards that to the tune of $320 million.
Never would've happened. Western capital saw the vast natural wealth of the Soviet bloc the way a starving wolf sees a steak, and were never going to allow the new Russian bourgeoisie to join the West as equals. When it became clear that Russia wasn't going to sell itself out to foreign capital, the West responded by violating every agreement they'd made with Yeltsin to bring about the end of the USSR and isolating them.
The goat pastures call to us all.
Either Trump is an existential threat that requires the strongest possible response, or he's just another corrupt asshole in a country dominated by others like him.
And before you go "but America doesn't do that sort of thing!", I'd encourage you to look up Fred Hampton.

The curvature of spacetime does wild shit to how you would expect physics to work. If you want to fall into a gravity well, you have to slow down or you'll just slingshot past it.
