The consequences of abortion bans = physicians are leaving the state, and hospitals can't recruit any to take their place. Which means no care for pregnant period, period. https://t.co/h54yYPv0AS

This is part of how red states will become hellholes. Educated people leave, companies follow, etc. Decline accelerates and then becomes irreversible.
DPReview.com to close on April 10 after 25 years of operation.
The only good camera and related gear review site on the internet closing. No real surprise, after Amazon bought them. Companies in general hate unbiased review sites. Most are now gone — this was one of the last ones standing. Its disappearance be a terrible loss to the photography community.
There are entirely too many so-called liberals attempting to surrender on behalf of Ukraine. What the hell is up with them? If they are so invested in that outcome, they should go over there and fight on the Russian side.
I’m sure Wagner would appreciate having some more bodies to spam across the lines in a human wave attack.
The more travel Reddit I read, the more I realize how immensely privileged I am to be able to eat just about anything anywhere without getting sick.

I am the same. I’ve never been sick from eating food overseas. And I’m not particular, either. I just ate whatever. People told me I’d definitely get sick.
Did not.
seen too many innocent, simple people go down after ordering pizza when they’re desperate for pizza in places where no one actually has fresh pizza ingredients, or is even 110% sure what a pizza looks like

Indeed. I ordered a pizza in China once. Once. That was a large fucking mistake. I’m not sure what I got, but that was not a pizza, had nothing to do with pizza, was made by not a single person who’d ever even seen or even read about a pizza — and it tasted like licking the bottom of a dumpster.
That was sometime in 2005. Matters might’ve improved since then. At least it was cheap, though.
The 20-year anniversary of the Iraq invasion, and the day that Xi Jinping and Putin meet to broadcast their alliance, seems like a good day to re-up my post about rising illiberalism and the return of "might makes right".https://t.co/FrRabSyXxN

The Ian Welsh left seems to be moving fully to the “might makes right” philosophy, especially as long as it appears to them to harm the US.
I wish we had a real left rather than wannabe-tankies.
Does booze remove inhibitions to show the real you or does it make you a different person entirely?
Not sure what this means, but I’m exactly the same tipsy as I am sober. No change at all other than slower reaction times and worse balance. My personality is completely unaffected.
Ignoring all geopolitical and realpolitik considerations, Ian Welshian “roll over and surrender” for Ukraine fails the very first moral test it comes across. After all, which people should just allow their lands to be invaded, their population to be killed, their children to be stolen, solely for the reason that having this occur displeases the United States? Or for any reason at all?
Welsh and his ilk are all vile ghouls. Just terrible humans who pretend to care but only if it somehow harms the US (which in this case it doesn’t even do that).
