They fucked up when they forced Putin to run an economy instead of just a more managed form of oligarchic looting

Surviving an assassination and forcing a public Biden appearance? He really can't lose.

It's wild how the UK still has FPTP despite having multiple third parties with double digit percentages. It's not even like America where 95% vote D or R, Labour and the Tories are on 55% combined.

Sony is a dinosaur company ran by businessmen who still believe if they make the games really hard you'll be forced to put more quarters in your PS5 to keep playing, the average lumpengamer will not be able to manifest this into any other concessions from more competent billion dollar publishers (or more important issues than consumer rights)

It is actually really sad that the devs have to basically go along with the angry mob in order to regain their reputation through no fault of their own. You can't cater to gamers or any other consoomer demographic, they are mentally children.

None of these tribe boundaries are from the same time period, by the time the Hungarians crossed the Carpathians you already had Al-Andalus covering all of Iberia

Twitter suit guy may be annoying but his series on developing your own style from the ground up is great:

Everything is contextual to an aesthetic. A hundred years ago, the scope for good taste—what Bourdieu would describe as legitimate taste—was confined to the taste of the ruling class. That is no longer the case today. This means rules about colors, silhouettes, proportions, and other such ideas are contextual to the aesthetic you’re trying to create. I’ve written some posts about how to think about silhouettes and color. But whenever a reader emails me to ask whether black pairs with blue or if a particular garment fits correctly, I feel that, in today’s culturally open world, you have to start with the aesthetic, not compartmentalize things as universal rules. This is partly why some guys who favor classic tailored clothing struggle with casualwear—they try to transport cultural ideas about suits and sport coats to very different aesthetics, such as workwear or sportswear. Sometimes rules can stretch across aesthetic spaces (like ideas linking romantic languages); sometimes, they do not (like trying to apply English grammar rules to Chinese). Derive your rules from aesthetics and your aesthetics from culture.
