Things France does badly: Ships, Conventional land operations Things France does really well: Diplomacy, Espionage, Spec Ops You don’t hear as much about the second part, because they’re actually good at it.

I really really HOPE none of Candace Owens's followers start googling "Françafrique" or "Jacques Foccart" or "Bob Denard" or "Kolwesi" or "Rainbow Warrior" That would be REALLY AWFUL

I had expected "The Substance" to be a stylish body horror about the male gaze or fame, but it was far bleaker shit: stylish body horror about how women cannot even trust themselves, just a pitch black nightmare

12/18 Once the US decided that it would no longer tolerate a continued decline in its share of global manufacturing (17%) and a continued rise in its share of global consumption (28%) relative to its share of global GDP (24%), it forced a rupture in the global trading system.


Good to know at least one voice in my feed is not a spook asset!

It’s insane that we just accept as normal that getting a visa can take months, the bar for any government provided service is in hell.



This accounting hardly squares the circle but it is an entertaining tour of what bootstrapping one of these operations looks like. Going to be a lot more in the near future! "Any number can play," as Burroughs used to put it. consortiumnews.com/2025/11/25/mex…

Incidentally, German compound words can do very well to certain emotions. Everyone knows Schadenfreude, but Weltschmerz, Sehnsucht, and Fremdscham are all quite evocative.

The only thing to do is this--next time you are alone with her, even for a few moments ask her: "can I take you out to dinner?" Whether you get a yes or no, the Sehnsucht will end.

Spiritualist artist Ethel le Rossignol (1873-1970) created her visionary "A Goodly Company" between 1920 and the early 1930s, 44 spiritualist paintings executed under the claimed influence of the spirit 'J.P.F.'. She privately published the book in 1933. I have two copies.
