I thought the name ‘Arestovich’ was a joke until like 2 days ago

every time someone says “it’s just how my body works” it just means “it’s what I’m comfortable doing currently”

that song/scene is seared into my brain

wtf did they think was going on there? enemy combatants would just be standing there chillin’ while an enemy tank approaches?

German democracy really is the frog in boiling water. The AfD just climbs and climbs – now a staggering 22%, eight points higher than the third-place SPD – and pundits continue to act like this is totally normal and actually fine

This is surely one of the most surreal moments of the war yet

Scott Ritter has turned up in Chechnya and spoken in broken Russian (some of which I couldn’t make out) to thousands of Kadyrov’s fighters about his efforts to strengthen the “friendship between Chechnya and America”

LOL

please, please ignore the fact that Kurdish groups are only supported because they fight for US geopolitical interests (initially to undermine the pro-Soviet Baathist party). they are simply smol bean anarchists.

From earlier زمی‎ (zami), from Middle Persian zmyk’ (zamīg, “earth”), from Proto-Iranian *jáHs (compare Northern Kurdish zevî, Northern Luri زمی‎ (zemi), Avestan 𐬰𐬃‎ (zā̊)), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ʰžʰáHs (compare Sanskrit क्ष (kṣa)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm (compare Russian земля́ (zemljá), Latvian zeme, Latin humus, Ancient Greek χθών (khthṓn)).

apparently so, that’s pretty cool.

on the other hand, Persian and my language use a lot of Russian loan-words too

NEW: Internal CNN directives force all Israel news through the Network’s Jerusalem Bureau, subjecting it to oversight by the IDF censor. CNN also hired a soldier out of the IDF Spokesperson Unit to cover the aftermath of October 7th.

IMPORTANT DEBUNKING:

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency published some new information regarding the alleged “ISIS” terrorist attack in Kerman:

“The ISIS statement to claim the attack was issued under the guidance of the Zionists.

Firstly, ISIS has never used the word “Iran” in their statements, they always call Iran “Persian province” or “Khorasan Province”.

Secondly, it is noteworthy that there is no history of ISIS releasing images of its terrorist operatives with a censored face.

Third point is that ISIS never delays the release of responsibility statements for its operations by 30 hours. Instead, they prepare the pictures of the pledge of allegiance and the declaration of responsibility before each operation & publish them immediately after the execution of the operation.

Essentially, ISIS’s method for conducting operations involves initial threats, followed by fatwas, and then the execution of operations, immediately accompanied by the release of responsibility statements. However, in this operation, a terrorist act occurred first, followed by delayed fatwas, threats, and the delayed release of a responsibility statement!

The 4th point is the political literature of this statement, which differs significantly from ISIS’s usual literature, indicating that the statement’s author was by no means associated with ISIS.

In fact, the statement that ISIS published belatedly in accepting responsibility for the terrorist attack in Kerman was orchestrated by the Zionist regime’s intelligence service. ISIS merely took charge of disseminating it through its official media channels."

I had no doubt in my mind that Iran knew this was Israeli-backed, but I was curious how they’d respond to it. since ISIS ‘took responsibility’ for it, they could have just done nothing. it’s interesting that Tasnim (generally known as close to the IRGC) is calling bullshit, makes me think there’ll be some kind of retaliation now.

these people are so demented

“We’re anti-Zionists, of course we support Hamas.”

‘zameen’ means the same thing in Persian actually. I know they’re basically directly related languages, but for some reason it always surprises me how many cognates there are.
