    funny enough that's exactly where mine was located. Looks like fluid beneath the skin. Hematoma or some kind of angioedema. Could also be a large cyst like I also had (around the tumor) except his is outside the skull. I have a sneaking suspicion that Russia, and drunk Russians in particular, don't care too much about that kind of thing once they're being sent off to war.

    Glad he mentioned Wilmington. It's one of the wildest moments in American history that is thoroughly undertaught. A city government was literally overthrown in a violent coup by white supremacists, and we just... went along with it. Just had some local papers print up some stories about how those "uppity blacks (elected government) were rioting (being lynched)" and moved on like it never happened.

    This is probably the darkest humor I've ever seen, but apparently during the Obama years they wargamed what their response would be if the Russians used a tactical nuclear weapon. They realized they couldn't do nothing, as that would effectively break MAD and unleash a hell of nuclear blackmail, and they couldn't nuke Moscow, because that would almost guarantee a full world-ending exchange, so the solution they arrived at was... nuke Belarus. Just to send a message. In the event that the Russians used a nuke, Belarus would have caught the biggest stray in the history of mankind.

    Considering Kennedy's Joint Chiefs were willing to waste millions of Americans just to maybe beat the Russians, I have almost zero faith that cooler heads will prevail if brinkmanship starts escalating.

    Italy has elected a female version of Mussolini. In the upcoming Brazilian elections, Brazil's version of Trump says he won't leave when he loses. And he may have the military behind him. The times they are "interesting".

    I don't pretend to know a lot about Italian politics, but all of the absolute worst people on Twitter are super happy about this election, so that's not a good sign. Also Ted Cruz referred to a speech, in which she accused large financial institutions of being slavemasters, as "spectacular." Ted Cruz's wife is an executive at Goldman Sachs.
