When the sanctions first hit was the first time Tucker turned on Putin, then when he lost his platform suddenly he's Putin's bff again until now. It might be not getting paid anymore, it could also just be Tucker feels like he's a Very Important Person, A Kingmaker, and he's playing in that game.

I mean Tucker's technically right but that's mainly because he has a vested interest in 'people not getting cancelled for being nazis'. e; but way to go him I guess for revealing it's all a grift so blatantly. I guess he knows his audience and Fridman's don't overlap.

DiomedesGodshill posted:What a loving clown. Why do people watch this clown? I listened to the entire podcast. Having never really watched or listened to Tucker before, he just comes across as someone who should not be in the position/career he is let alone interviewing Putin, he just said some things about Russia and its history that were false, like the Germans surrounding Moscow in WW2. He would of been fine being some local news reporter. The only real interesting and noteworthy part of the interview is Lex saying he has been in contact with Putins people about a possible interview.

Yeah he's said that potentially had been on the table since well before the full invasion of Ukraine, He's just so far indefinitely delayed it given the whole situation. He spent like a good month or two traveling across Ukraine sometime after the war started and spent a lot of time talking to victims and veterans and people who are refugees and you can tell that it profoundly impacted him. He has mixed Ukrainian/Russian heritage Unfortunately in the last half a year so he's been giving a platform for a fair amount of unsavory people without pushing back on their bullshit very much and it seems like he's slowly being dragged further to the right, so I've been kind of losing interest in his show.

MF made a big to-do about reading more and posted the most basic bitch list of literature I've ever seen. 1984, Animal Farm, the loving Alchemist. Motherfuckers got a head full of rocks and larps as an intellectual. As someone who likes Hesse I cannot imagine how annoying a puffed up pseud like him will be upon finishing Steppenwolf or Siddhartha.

That Vonnegut criticism is quite good, I've never seen that before. He managed to tap on to a feeling I had myself about some of Hesse's works but couldn't quite articulate although I think that with the threat of total annihilation being far more distant most modern readers would find it speaks more to their desire to differentiate themselves from an ever encroaching dehumanizing society.

The Alchemist is what you get when you cross Hesse with The Secret. A magical journey of self discovery (or something) where you learn the way to get what you want out of life is to want it hard enough. e: gently caress.

Content: Video of Russians complaining about their trucks being disabled, tires absolutely fuckled, by the rebar caltrops.

I love that. Cheaper than mines, cheaper than grenades, simple, brilliant. The amount of improvisation that's making it through the filter is an interesting, if super bleak, fascination for me. Mind you, I draw the line at booby trapped toys.

Except for a case of extreme bad luck (not noticing one of those at highway speeds on a metalled road) anyone who encounters one is very likely to be uninjured by the experience. They're safe and relatively easy to clean up, and even if they go unnoticed, a few decades in the mid will eliminate them safely. Finally, they're most effective against their intended target and have a clear, valid military use. The only way you could commit a war crime with those is if you picked one up and beat a civilian over the head with it.

Edit: Interesting. Googled it and another account says that part of why these are working is that it's not immediately obvious when your column runs into a field of these. Mines, sure there's an explosion and you know you're under attack or in a minefield. But these, reportedly, are hard to distinguish at first from whether you ran over something mundane that messed up your truck or maybe the engine just seized up or whatever. The other drivers won't be immediately concerned. Just dumb Sergei hitting a branch or whatever that got lodged in the axle. Then more people hit them.

No one gets killed when they're driving down the road and they hear their tire go BANG, but they do have a good ol moment of "oh, gently caress me running" and have to pull over and stop a while and contemplate the life choices that led up to this moment.

Environmental activists have been making and using caltrops exactly like those for decades, to attack the big expensive tires of things like heavy logging equipment. The drone delivery method is a new angle, but it makes a lot of sense in the context of the war. Kudos to Ukraine for the creative tactic.

it would be a great upgrade if they can get 3/8 pipe instead of rebar, lighter weight will let the drones carry more and the cookie cutter effect will do way faster tire damage
