If only Putin knew…
Putin’s Chechen ally Roman Kadyrov has reportedly posted on his Telegram channel that Putin may not be aware of the “real situation on the ground” in Ukraine.
That’s just CIA/globohomo/Nazi Jewlenskyyist black propaganda!
Wasn’t a compulsory scheme floated in Ireland recently?
Not sure how far they got with it though.
Not any more, Putin booted Moscow Times a few months ago.
It’s now based in Amsterdam.
Kadyrov is a feral bogan. Btw it’s been reported that 3 to 7 thousand Chechens have been sent to Moscow for internal security duty.

Huge Ukrainian ammunition stockpile destroyed –
Attack has eliminated 45,000 tons of ammunition in southern Ukraine, Russian forces have taken out a large ammunition depot in southern Ukraine as they continue to conduct “high-precision strikes” on Kiev’s forces, the attack eliminated a depot storing 45,000 tons of ammunition near the town of Voznesensk in Nikolaev region. The statement also claimed Kiev’s losses as “more than 300 Ukrainian service members killedd and up to 1,000 wounded” in the last 24 hours in this area.
you first, Aimee Mcveigh. I’m sure you have a nice little abode somewhere in Brisbane that will accommodate a few harmless waifs.
Doesn’t pass the sniff test. Russia has always had superiority in the air and in long range missiles. So why would the Ukrainians put 45,000 tonnes of ammunition in one place? They wouldn’t: they’d disperse it widely.
Might be another ammonium nitrate fertilizer explosion though. There’ve been several when silos and stockpiles have been hit. Makes for quite a bang.

A blind man walks into a bar. He sits and asks for a drink. When served he asks the bartender if she wants to hear a blonde joke?
The bartender tells him that she is blonde and the bouncer is blonde and the biker sitting next to him is blonde, if he is OK with that he can tell his joke.
He says no, I don’t want to have to explain it 3 times.

“Fan-baiting” is a form of marketing used by producers, film studios, and actors, with the intent of exciting artificial controversy, garnering publicity, and explaining away the negative reviews of a new and often highly anticipated production. 1/10
It seems true enough. The only point on which I would cavil with the author of the twit is where they refer to studios deliberately triggering outrage from bigots by gender-swapping or race-swapping characters. I suspect very few of the people who get annoyed are bigots. The test would be whether they have a problem with women or non-white characters (the swapping is always away from white males, never to) that wasn’t swapped.
It really seemed to start with that 2016 version of Ghostbusters – an unfunny attempt at a grrl-power reboot. (A handy indicative comparison of the original and the reboot here.) Now, surely creative people such as actors, writers and directors comport themselves to be ought to be able create a new character reflecting whatever cocktail of physical traits they want. But they don’t. They take established ones and butcher them.
Why does this matter? Let’s take a simple example. There are lots of movies about comics so let’s take Superman. Superman is a long established character. It has fans who have followed the comics for decades, building up a history inside the readers’ heads. They have a whole lot of lore worked out, know his strengths and his weaknesses, the things he has done, and the things he was forced to do. Even if you are not one who reads the comics but only watches movies his character is still clear in your mind.
Now someone comes along and tells you it is they are changing it to a black lesbian whale, and if you object ‘it is because you is a bigot’.
But is it bigotry? They are planning on uprooting and tossing onto the fire something that people have a profound connection to. And even beyond the stories there are other kinds of connections based on personal experiences – maybe the Superman story was a place to escape to at some miserable point in your life. Perhaps it was something you discovered when you were 10 years old and you have spent years gathering up all the clues and details that enriches the experience. Or maybe you are a nerd and talk about comics with other nerds.
But someone comes along and says it is bad and it should be different. You should not have it. It is being taken from you because you are bad, and it will be given to someone who deserves it. And when that is done all the old connections and experiences are being cut, but the new version will have none of those. It will be flat and cookie cutter, without any of the rich background. Worse, it will be coopted to push a political agenda.
Now, like I say, they could have simply left Superman alone. They could have ignored it. They could have created a new superhero rug-munching melanin-enriched cetacean. It does not matter that it has no history because when the original Superman was re-made it was cut off from its history too. But the important thing for these people is not just gifting some intersectional demographic with a hero. It is vitally important that they take something from traditional fans – whom they will have divined to be comprised entirely of straight white men, but actually is not.
If you really liked Lord of the Rings you will have understood it they way Tolkien told it. He meant it to be a myth for the English. Like a Norse saga it would be…white. It would have heroic men, and brave chaste women. The evil was also male. And white. Now Amazon apparently does not get this, thinking that everything must conform with now. But if you did a movie about the ancient Britons would you have to include black people, or have female warrior chieftains? Well, it would be stupid, because they did not exist then. The fact that we now have more racial diversity and opened up roles to women does not change that. It is the same sort of thing with Lord of the Rings.
Game of Thrones managed to get the diversity quota, but it made sense. The story deliberately encompassed bitter and frigid realms (where everyone was white) and hot areas under a blazing sun, and where the people were black. That works.
But they weren’t fan-baiting.
Question for QCOSS:
When more than Five people are sharing ‘facilities’ (that’s a fancy word for dunny & shower) in a commercial arrangement (i.e. renting) there is a requirement for a 63-page Fire Safety Management Plan, + lotsa lotsa smoke detectors, signs, hallways to be clear of impediments, etc.
Will QCOSS be covering these costs?

Saw a prime example of that today driving into town.
About a dozen Power Distribution Company utes parked in the carpark opposite the cafe, but no sign of any line-work going on.
On the way back it all became clear.
A sea of fluoro lineworkers sitting around the cafe, and Jim’s Test ‘n Tag going from one ute to the next.
No doubt Jim was told to take his time.
So.

After decades of withholding statistics on socioeconomic differences between Jews of Ashkenazi or European origins, and those of Mizrahi or North Africa and Middle Eastern origin, Israel’s national statistical bureau decided last month to begin publishing data that is expected to shed light on one of the most politically charged divisions in Israeli society.
It will become possible to learn far more than is currently known about the average differences in wealth, education and other factors between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews.
This is a very good illustration how data and, in this case, quite accurate data, was misinterpreted and in saying this -with a confidence level of 99.999994%. I can’t recall who it was here that reported this Alex Berenson’s conclusion as a certainty, but I suspect it was one of the Bobbsey twins (Hallward or Uncle Fester). In any event it’s turned out to be bullshit. It would have taken a few minutes examining historical data to see why.
Alex B looked at New Zealand’s birth data and saw a fall, occurring in a latter part of the last year. Berenson being Berenson immediately took that to mean the vax was causing a birth-rate decline. Again, there was zero tension in terms of the data being accurate.
A German dude, by the name of Andreas Backhaus looked at the data and went back historically and found there was a seasonal fall in the birth-rate in the part of the year that Alex B had examined and assumed the vax caused the decline.
Lesson, never accept bullshit from untrustworthy sources as they’re pushing ideology.

Whites in America -doing their best to ruin the country.

They closed all the nut houses across the English speaking world and threw the nutters out on the “community” as a big F you to ordinary people and a budgetary saving.
That’s your “homeless” problem. People who previously would be in residential care are now sleeping on the streets, selling their bodies and self medicating with street drugs.
Thanks, do gooders and economic rationalists.

The newly-elected head of the American Library Association (ALA) — a self-described “Marxist lesbian” named Emily Drabinski — said she rose through the ranks the old-school way, from “looseleaf legal filer to library director.” But her mission is deadly serious.
“So many of us find ourselves at the ends of our worlds,” Drabinski said during her campaign to become ALA president. “The consequences of decades of unchecked climate change, class war, white supremacy, and imperialism have led us here. If we want a world that includes public goods like the library, we must organize our collective power and wield it. The American Library Association offers us a set of tools that can harness our energies and build those capacities.”
The influential Chicago-based Fobazi Ettarh, 32, who was most recently a librarian at Rutgers, is another example of what many call a modern “radical librarian.” Ettarh, who is also an educator and writer, says she represents “librarianship, education, activism, and all the intersections in between.”
The ALA first began getting major funding in the late 1990s from the Bill and Melinda Foundation and George Soros’ Open Society among other progressive organizations. At its most recent conference, panels included subjects such as “Addressing Critical Race Theory Challenges in Your Library” and “Inspiring the Next Generation to Champion Social Justice through Speech and Debate.”
Druggies on the roads:
“In Operation Fume we did over 12,000 drug tests in 2 days and got 485 positive, we did over 32,000 alcohol tests and got 145 positive.

Some say that order is anathema to the commie mentality. It is in the sense of an order which exists independent of the control of the commie, like democracy. Of course, the commie loves, as a dog loves its vomit, order which is controlled by them. That is no order at all but chaos. I enjoy cataloguing commies. You would fit into the 150s, deviant psychology, or perhaps 571, abnormal physiology.

Dover Beach is quite right as far as I can see in regards to the Russian ‘retreat’.
Consider the Rzevh Salient – a series of battles that threatened Moscow in ’42 – 43.
The Salient required 29 Divisions to hold it open. Had the Wehrmacht pulled out of this salient, it would have released 22 Divisions for redeployment across the front.
This creation of an Operational reserve would have reduced the pressure on the transport system on the Eastern Front. The Luftwaffe was suffering appalling losses to its Transport fleet while being engaged in North Africa, the Rzevh Salient and the stalled offensives in the south (Fall Blau)
Russia is now doing what needs to be done – creation of an Operational Reserve and not doing what seems to be a good idea on the map. Remember that the Rasputitsa is just around the corner as well.
This is weird. Any ideas?
No idea, but if anything significant and horrible happens on September 24, German politicians are probably guaranteed to get a free lamp post ride.

Controversial SAS veteran Ben Roberts-Smith plans to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral at Westminster Abbey in London next week, following an official invitation from Buckingham Palace to Victoria Cross recipients.
Mr Roberts-Smith — who is awaiting the judgement of his high-profile defamation case against the Nine newspapers over allegations he was falsely portrayed as a war criminal — is set to travel to London later this week to join the commemorations.
Monica Allen, a member of the war veteran’s legal team, confirmed to The Australian that Mr Roberts-Smith intended to travel to Britain along with other VC recipients and guests from Australia.
The Australian understands VC recipients from across the Commonwealth have already been invited by Buckingham Palace to take part in the order of chivalry procession on the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
