Yakutsk is the coldest inhabited city in the world with months of sustained sub -40C weather. Unfortunately, It'll climb into the 30s during the summer. If you wonder why anyone lives there it's because of diamond and other valuable resource extraction.

The terminally online debate-me-bro brand of atheism.
It's always been curious to me that you can define yourself by something that your not. I'm also vexed why an atheist would proselytize. They're not saving souls or capturing 10%. What's the motivation? And please don't say it's because atheists are better people. Because all the famous "new" atheists were regular cast members on Epstein Island and the whole movement had deep ties to the alt-right and Gamergate.
I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm saying they're obnoxious, belligerent, and annoying. To be clear, I'm atheist. That's half the problem. These MFers are making me look bad.
The house band slaps tho.
You can't solve systems by focusing on individuals.
None of us a free moral agents. We're surrounded by systems of family, culture, and law that compel and coerce us. And all of that is built in to the signifiers "employment" and "labor". It's incoherent to slice off a traunch of all these interconnected systems, strip it of all context, and pretend it's a free moral choice.
Changing systems requires collective action. Individuals are weak and the Western obsession with individualism is no coincidence.
The subject of a year-long undercover investigation, Cuevas was arrested in January after allegedly paying an undercover officer $1,500 for three fully automatic weapons and three Glock-style pistols with obliterated serial numbers.
That sounds like a helluva deal.
The terms "fully automatic" and "Glock-style" are annoying in how vague they are, but before you ding the journalist for being ignorant of guns, keep in mind the source of these phrases is likely the police report or the press release.
Can I see it?
CA has a loooooong history of being cruel to the poor. During the Great Depression the Sheriff of LA set up road blocks at the state line to block refugees....... from Oklahoma.
It's no surprise that the dental-work masquerading as Governor is steeped in this hostility to the poor.
This would have made a great Chemical Safety Board video. But they got DOGE'ed.
Snyder made the same soft-core porn twice. "SuckerPunch" for straight guys and "300" for gay men.
I liked "The Watchmen", but yea, everything else he did is low quality.
I hate "Man of Steel". He made Superman a cop, and the climax is eleven nine-elevens in Metropolis.
Any word on Milli Vanilli or Vanilla Ice?
