the key crossroads for the left - conflict between:

- feminists ensure unquestioning support from society and cash flow
- trans lobby provides quick wit, high brow takes and effective strategy

please note that the right allying temporarily with either would be a losing position Emma Watson, representing t...ContraPoints, representing ...
2/
 to bolster the claim of feminists assuring the cash flow,

i present Erin's discussion of feminists and the shelter movement:

3/
 an intriguing juxtaposition:

>"Progressivism is a suicide pact, which promises liberation from the crushing shame of alleged wrongs of our fathers."
>The prize and the target are men.

4/
 a fair contention

however i remain unconvinced that the situation became stable. quite the opposite - i believe it is coming to a head

5/
 possible fusion/conclusion:
the bioessential component of the mind & psyche *might* be found to be closely approximated by hormonal levels over an extended time span - perhaps 2+ years?

this would cleave the trans lobby along the line of HRT, the hormonal side being retained.
6/
 that would advantage those trans lobby members that started HRT in adulthood, over those that started early on; creating a small elite cadre.

is the current push for puberty blockers&early HRT typical lefty "pulling the ladder behind us" by the top players in the trans lobby?
7/
 this could've been said by only one side of the trans-feminist divide 🤔

 blast from the past

 The article by @FischerKing64 refuses to question honesty of public statements by Putin.

Let's read carefully and see where this mistake gets him.

2/
 Author reads into Putin's statements "without immediately assuming bad faith at every turn".

Putin & his entourage us a mix of truth & dishonesty. The interviews are a couple years old, we can check them against reality.

 >>in Russia media is under control
>projection

lol wut? In Russia the media *is* to large extent under gov control. In the West the *gov* is to large extent under media control.

It's not a projection. The nature of the problem is different in RU and in the West.

 Let's talk a *slow* airplane for a change: Bayraktar TB2, a Turkish lightweight UAW ("drone") has been significantly successful in Ukraine.

The airplane serves both reconnaissance and strike duties.

Article provides interesting details:

2/
 Isn't she pretty?
In particular the Ukrainian maritime variant, with seabird decal.
3/
 Unique design allows for low observability, in particular low radar cross-section. Not quite "full on stealth" - but it's much stealthier than an average flier.

We don't have official numbers, but this calculates baseline expectations - and it's good:

Unpopular take:
the federal government should focus on foreign policy; the states are the proper place for domestic policy.
I could swear I saw you *correctly* punting domestic issues to states and away from the federal gov just yesterday.

Don't flip plop on the fundamental and important division of responsibilities.

By the way 👀

 Remember the T-14 Armata? The russian tank that had a lot of hype for a couple years?

In the spirit of "zippier cars", let's discuss it a bit further.
2/
 #T14Armata, an innovative russian tank with crew fully enclosed in the front hull behind heavy protection, while a fully automated turret was located in the classic way.

Along with the tank, related T-15 IFV and 2S35 SPG were developed as shared platform.
3/
 The design seemingly got a lot *right*, tho there remains some discussion as to armor of the turret - supposedly absent in the vehicles produced.

With a lot of hopes riding on its shoulders, the design failed to enter serial production and seems stuck. How come?

 Unpopular opinion:
the recent wave of "work from home" is the biggest and unique opportunity to "stick it to the boomers". Actually to do much better than that.
2/
 Good management is both about enabling your employees - and also about measuring their effectiveness.

Beyond "walking around & seeing butts in office chairs", actual measurement - and reporting both up & down the chain. "Work from home" pushes in that direction.
3/
 There are also various other benefits to "work from home" - less dependence on proximity to city; more personal freedom to shape work as you see fit, to juggle & smoothly change works, etc.

 >US commenced "invasion" in Ukraine by regime changing it

No.

2014: Ukrainians over-threw their government aligned with Russia - the Russia that for well over a century occupied Ukraine, drained resources & talent, suppressed culture.

"But muh USA" is wack revisionism.
2/
 You see people in Ukraine staunchly & resolutely defending their freedom for 2+ months now. That is a clear and strong signal. I support their defense of freedom.

As for democracy... whatever. Both sides are democracies with all the trappings & faults, and it helped neither.
3/
 To see just how pernicious and pervasive suppression of Ukraine's culture was back under russian control, see this well written thread:
