Why this isn't what either the tankies or the righties think it is
This headline suggests alot of things that simply will not happen. Dissanayake himself is a Marxist, but his party is an agglomeration of leftist forces similar to Gabriel Boric's coalition in Chile, and thus he'll have to deal with progressives, liberals, and so-called democratic socialists within that coalition. This is not, as the article presents it, a Marxist party simply winning wholesale like it's a singular unit that only holds that ideology. Secondly, Sri Lanka is a semi-presidential republic-I'm not clear how similar it is to France(where it's the president who has more power, even if not as much as in somewhere like America or Brazil) or if it's more weighted towards the legislature, but while the President chooses the Prime Minister, he'll be working with a minority government unless he chooses to call for early elections, which would be a whole other can of worms.
Finally, there's the most damning issue of all for a Marxist-reality. Sri Lanka's still recovering from the economic crisis that their last leftist president put them through, and they simply cannot afford to piss off the IMF. Much like when Syriza took power in Greece after their economic crisis, the reality of how economics work will override socialist dogma so long as the country's leader cares more about solving the crisis that his career depends on than sticking to the dialectic regardless of how many go hungry because of it. There'll be no seizing the means, no dekulakization or Great Leap Forward(and thank God for that). He'll most likely just spend tons of money on social programs like any other left-wing populist, or any other populist in general really, and call it Marxism in action. Why did I write out this whole analysis? I have no idea-I think I'm just bored and waiting for more news to happen, but it's 3 in the morning and it won't for awhile so I just have to ruminate on what did happen. I'm a little worried about what he might try and do to democracy in Sri Lanka, but I simply don't think he has enough power to be the next Hugo Chavez or Evo Morales. Thank you for coming to my meandering ramblings disguised as a nonexistant ted talk.
#sri lanka#sri lanka news#anura kumara dissanayake#ranil wickremesinghe#got his fucking ass kicked#but not as hard as the rajapaksa#the western countries are all congratulating him#that's a sign that they think they can work with him#and if he's smart he'll play us off against china to get more stuff from both sides#his country sure could use it

house md wildest show on earth. a main character outright assassinates a known dictator, a moment that would be the very beginning or the mid-series crisis in any other show - an act which creates a power vacuum in a foreign nation already filled with child soldiers and genocide, and it's literally only brought up again throughout the season because that guy's wife divorces him over it. and occasionally to explore his relationship with who he is as a person and a catholic after having deliberately taken a life for what he calculates as the greater good, but mostly it's about his divorce
#i no longer think wilson is the most divorced guy ever#sure he's been divorced more TIMES than chase#but the things he's been divorced OVER are way more normal#it is so nuts like . chase. bobbie. rob. bobert. what happened next. in the country i mean#like the president is dead. does his regime crack down extra hard on the ethnic cleansing?#does the power vacuum give the opposition a chance to step in?#how much of what the president said about the people he's wiping out having been in a similar dictatorship in the past is true?#does the nation descend into civil war? is the president's death the excuse the us or england or whoever is waiting for to step in#and assume ad hoc governance thus destabilizing the region even more?#all because one guy in one hospital decided the math was in favor of his killing a guy if that guy was going to order more killings?#absolutely NEVER explored. yeah do no harm and the morals we share with our partners are important#but christ alive. the aftermath of the assassination could be a whole show in and of itself and im pretty sure it just never comes up#house is a show#house md#q

wow wow wow ok ok ok ok
so im partway through the wardance event in HSR 2.5 and my mind is SPINNING
in particular finishing the most recent main quest with the Borisin, then hearing about Igor Haft of Belobog...
it's FASCINATING to me how the civilizations in HSR seem to not only follow a path that they value, but a path that they need and end up getting very little help from
belobog following the preservation because their small, impoverished planet is constantly under threat of death and destruction... such that very little is actually "preserved" with any success
the xianzhou alliance following the hunt to root out and eliminate their enemies without mercy... only for those same enemies to stir up trouble from within their own ranks, with the xianzhou luofu in particular failing to realize until two major disasters had already been set in motion. and even before then, considering everything implied with dan feng, i doubt this is the first time they've faced internal conflict like this
penacony following the harmony to ensure the happiness and unity of their people, only for what little harmony actually exists to simply cover up the turbulence and suffering belying every luxury... such that the order arose in the first place to deal with what the harmony couldn't, a thick undercurrent of inequality and divisiveness that plagued every worker, every poor soul that saw penacony as their safe haven, their last hope
that those desperate for preservation would come out with so little, with so many wounds. that those desperate to hunt down threats would be perpetually plagued by internal betrayals and setups. that those desperate for harmony, peace, and unity would allow its weak to suffer until the only option left is not prosperity but silence and preconceived "happiness"....
it's just fascinating to me how those following a path actually have the least of it. it's fascinating how the pathstriders of the preservation are on the brink of demise, the pathstriders of the hunt are under threat of ambush, the pathstriders of the harmony struggle to remain united and fair to their people.
#hsr spoilers#hsr#hsr 2.5#im dying. im losing my mind im dying#IVE HAD THIS THOUGHT WITH AVENTURINE SPECIFICALLY BUT. NOW IT'S THE WHOLE COUNTRY (? CITY?) OF BELOBOG#RAAGAGGGHHHHHHHHHH#maybe i shouldn't have said pathstriders but i don't know how to distinguish between individuals vs countries/planets/ships here#anyway whatever im sure it goes for pathstriders too.#WITHIN THIS CONTEXT... the path you follow not being necessarily your determination. but what you want the most#robin following the harmony because of her doubts in her family.. that she wants to CREATE and secure that unity and fairness#aventurine following the preservation because that's all he has left. if he loses anything else he's as good as dead so#all he NEEDS is to hang on to his life. it's all he has it's all he needs. as long as he has that then he can keep moving forward#towards what? who knows. it's one step at a time for him. he's living paycheck to paycheck with his life. he'll figure out why it's#even worth preserving when he gets there.#sampo... wish i knew him better. but for him i think it could be that a certain amount of nihility is necessary to survive his lifestyle#anyway yeah i just. im thinking about it#my post#my posts#don't remember which tag i usually use for that hfndgbd

#i don't know y'all#the whole 'losing one more good person won't make the world better don't take yourself out of it' line isn't really working for me anymore#not really sure i'm interested in making the world a better place at this point#since all it seems to have gotten us in the past 10 years is a 100 year backslide#and i wish i could be confident that 'we just need to survive the next four years'#but i am not confident there will even be an election in four years' time#and i am even less convinced we will survive to see it if there is#i am actively terrified because i am a registered democrat and a woman and queer#because all those threats about getting rid of his enemies? i am one of them. i even embody many of them.#and i'm not convinced it was all talk#and on top of that i am actually so very privileged comparatively#i am white i was born in this country i have a reasonably stable job and i live in ny#—not in an area where i can be openly queer or even openly democrat but still i have some protections many others don't#and i am terrified and defeated and yeah maybe it's selfish but i am very much feeling like there's no fucking point anymore#personal#tw suicidal ideation#will probably delete later i don't know

FINALLY! I got to learn more about Colours in isat. I've been thinking bout that so much and I finally found the other book needed for it. So colours only appear when something "breaks" huh...
#aria rants#isat spoilers#i was looking at the isat wiki and found out that there was an issue#couldn't find it tho... but i at least found the colours one! hmmmm when smth breaks. first time it appeared was when#the king and siffrin tried to say the country's name. and the 2nd time was when the world was getting destroyed#and the 3rd and last time was in loop's eye during the fight. for the 1st one it was cuz the wish was breaking.#for the 2nd one itd be.... is it also a wish breaking? the sky was dyed red with a visible crack out the balcony even before#siffrin lost control of their emotion and became Huge. a wish was possibly breaking then. considering siffrin's wish being#''fused'' with all of vaugarde in Some form. vaugarde was saved but siffrin's wish was Breaking. cuz during that point#siffrin barely had enough energy to use time craft to loop back and nothing else was addressed about the family members leaving#so in a way. siffrin's wish was breaking (and considering the power his wish had. itd be quite the effect if it broke)#but what about loop? what was breaking for their wish? and well it also isnt in a large scale as the Country and siff's wish#since the red only appeared on loop's eye. so its more of an ''internal'' thing. maybe... it was siffrin leaving?#so that could also be why loop disappeared at the end. cuz their wish broke in some way. wtv the wish was#tbf i havent checked the sad diary in act 5 yet so im not rlly sure who that diary belongs to but i rlly believe that its loop's

Me panicking because i have 9 missed calls and 5 emails talking about my absence and how "a colleague could take over for me" vs. Me knowing it's really not that important no matter how pushy a client is and that on top of it I'm underpaid and have way to much overtime so i shouldn't even care
#i have 14 hours overtime#collected within 2 weeks lol#you know how it's apparently mandatory for companies in germany to have a way track employees working time? yeah we're#the only company in the whole fucking country who doesn't do that (obviously that's not true there's probably plenty more but it's#still not right.) so we don't get paid overtime nor does it get acknowledged in any way#so technically we're not allowed to even it out (which most people try to do anyway because tf do they think they are asking us to work for#free) but I'm dedicated to not collect any more unpaid working hours so i take the liberty to leave work early this week#so today i left at 12pm (and then got home 4 hours later because another person decided to kill themselves by train. they should call me#first. or anyone else taking the train. I'm sure there'd be plenty of volunteers to do the killing if it means not another miserable day#stuck in a disgusting train). and i logged in again at 6pm today to see if i have anything important messages (stupid i know)#and i saw the missed calls and that there had been an email exchange with me in the cc talking about the 'changes' made in one of the#articles and that someone else could do that for me since i couldn't be reached and at first i felt ashamed and scared#but now it's honestly just pissing me off. that asshole can't write emails and communicate requests like normal people can he#he already called me last week about something completely stupid and acts like his matters are the most important shit in the world#fuck you if you can't wait one day you should have sent this a month earlier because i won't stay online everyday#just to see if there might be an 'important' change you want me to make Immediately. bitch.#also missed two calls from my colleague but she didn't send any messages about what she wanted so i asked her because i felt bad for not#being online and turns out she wanted Nothing. just hear how i was. JUST TEXT ME THEN???? I HATE IT HERE FUCK YOU#seriously i don't get paid enough for this to bother me so much. she probably gets 12-15€ more than me per hour#of course she doesn't care about her overtime as much as i do. i get minimum wage which is less than what I'd get if i still worked at uni#as a student assistant so fuck this shit it's really not important or worth it. from now on i'll only put in minimum effort too#sorry got carried away. rant over now i guess#void screams#work stuff

thinking abt hohenheim 2day
#actually i started thinking abt him (and ed's abandonment issues) Yesterday#but that was After i accidentally smoked too much and couldnt actually put together a real thought other than 'wah' about it HDHSSHFHDF#hohenheim shows back up after Years and ed is fuckin Pissed#hates his guts wants Nothing to do with him#but there's still that. small part of him even amidst the Everything that is like. //well Maybe Maybe Maybe//#//maybe things could work out. somehow. some day. even though he's immortal. and things are complicated. maybe they could be Okay//#and by the time ed even starts to maybe come around to the thought of Trying to maybe hash it out. hohenheim fuckin Dies like For Real#i think abt like. how often ed play the What If game with himself yknow#like in the manga he's straight up like //i dont have any memories of That Man ever being parental towards us// and ed will tell Anyone-#-that he doesnt need - never Has needed - hohenheim#but he still thinks about like. what couldve happened maybe if hohenheim had stayed. if he had been there for them when trisha died#if he had been able to teach them the true cost of attempting human transmutation.#he wonders if hohenheim being there couldve prevented this whole mess#sure that fantasy crumbles when he remembers Father and the other homunculi and the fate of the country that's been set in stone (hah)-#-since its conception#everything is complicated and messy and logically never would have worked out no matter what#but ed's still a kid. he doesnt want to Understand he just wants his dad. or literally fucking Anything (as much as he'll deny it)#welcome back to another patented tag essay btw. my bad-#one day ill make proper meta posts. one day

sorry i don't have anything to say about the "to hell and back" two-parter! it's a really good episode with some great guest characters and some real emotions. but it's based off robert pickton and that's all i can think about. may he rot.
#my Indigenous Studies teacher knew one of his victims#she found out through the Sun while in line at a checkout#(im not sure who she didnt specify and none of us asked for more details. if i knew i would of course say her name)#also just. preemptively. i see a lot of americans in conversations about pickton going 'omg how could they have only given him 25 to life?'#it's because that was the most severe sentence possible at the time. and still kind of today?#new legislation in 2011 allows parole ineligibility periods to be served consecutively instead of concurrently but “life w/o parole” still#isn't a sentence on its own. it's just something i wish more americans knew because there's so much important conversation to be had about#how catastrophically those women were failed in life and in death. but pickton's sentence isn't an example of it that's just a country#having a different justice system than yours. and i want people to devote more time to the many MANY actual failures.#if that makes sense?? like. be outraged about everything else! but again that part is literally just Different Countries Have Different Law#not tagging the episode or series. idk. just feels wrong#hopefully none of this comes off as insensitive. just yeah this episode is a little too real for me to talk about as a work of fiction

If you actually deep it
Is Chris dumb or ignorant or just doesn’t care or is uneducated or is ignorant bc most American celebs are
Bc why did he agree to be in RSDR
The director is a former IDF soldier?????
#and now here we are with me being obsessed with the character that that director basically came up with#like….wtf#fuck Ari Levinson actually!#I only like him physically#his movie is ass#also!!!#I’m sure there are others more educated on this topic so PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong#but weren’t the ethiopian Jews IRL sterilised so they wouldn’t have offspring#so they could keep the racist ethno state of Israel majority white?????#I believe you can google this#like wow yes make a movie celebrating Israeli white saviours as they saved the Ethiopian Jews from the ‘evil Arabs’ but fail to mention#what happened after that#also this is an underlying problem I have with Chris evans#and I know this is speculation which is why it’s an UNDERLYING problem#but I really feel like he like most Americans#has been grown to have this unwavering hate for Arab countries#and Israel uses that hate to garner western support for the genocide they are committing#and I know Chris hasn’t signed either letter#but like…..#idk man why can’t he be like mark ruffalo ?????#stand up for what’s right#ughhh#now here I am with an ari levinson pfp#I feel so off about all this if I’m being real#like if you actually deep it….’#why did Chris do that movie?#can someone answer me why he did it#why do YOU think he did it??? honestly

The Injection Scene like it's for his. Adrenaline or whatever but the first thing i said when i saw it was an injection joke#because literally how could i not LIKE LMAO THEY SERVED IT ON A PLATTER#and then there's the whole Change His Entire Identity After Running To A New Country#i always joke about wanting to do that so that's strike two buster#and then to top it off when he comes back he looks like every transman ever before the effects of T start taking effect#which is a hilariously ironic statement to make considering The Before And After but lol strike three bozo#AND THEN STRIKE FOUR WAS HIS WHOLE 'i changed my name and body' BIT LIKE DAWG YOURE ALREADY OUT#IK ITS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED UP 'FOR POWER' BUUUUT TOP TEN 'HE JUST LIKE ME FR' MOMENTS LMAOOO#there's also his voice- both in jp and eng- just having a sort of Texture(TM) to it#in jp it's sort of high and nasally while in eng there's a sort of gravel to it that's so 🏳️⚧️?????? to me. im sorry.#do you see. that's why it's so funny. its so painfully funny#the funniest jokes are the ones with Some Weird truth behind them by the most delusional bitches ever <- me#ANYWAYS. i promise not to mention it much If Ever only when something really funny happens to me that reminds me of it#and i dont have a sneaky way to allude to it in a comic or a fic#end of the month is always hell for me cause on the one side Yay Money but on the other hand its like I Have To Work For It FUCK#so i can only draw on the weekend#im having a month-long sale for december tho...... so if we never see me again thats why#EW I JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE TO DRAW FOR A SECRET SANTA THING TONIGHT NOOOOOO#and i wanted to finish up that fic... cause im literally three lines away from finishing it...#christ i need to learn to juggle better. for now im eating this onigiri that i was too busy to eat#anyway no one look at me im soryr for sharing my cringe </3 i prommy it wont happen so bluntly again

I used to be so angry about the government & my anger wanted me to burn it all down. As I have changed through the years I remember that the only meaningful change comes from a place of love. So, I have been trying to reframe my dissatisfaction with how things are from a place of love.
I love the people in my country & the lands I live in, I want them to be better taken care of. I don’t want people to suffer unnecessarily if their health or their finances takes a hit, because I love them I want them to have somewhere safe to fall. I love the lands & the wilds in my country, I want them to be better taken care of because I love them. I will vote on policy that helps them, I will make an effort to be kind to those I disagree with so we can focus on common ground, I will pick up trash when I hike, I will eat local whenever I can, I will sort my garbage, I will show up with patience, I will slow down at crossings—because I love.
& it’s hard, & it’s grueling, & I’m still very very angry at how things operate, but I know from experience I’ll go the extra mile for love that I wouldn’t for hate or spite. I don’t think we can hate this country into a state of being better. I think people with the most to gain want us to hate each other if we disagree instead of love each other into a solution. & I do think the people who are most wounded take their opposition’s hate as evidence that they’re correct & morally superior.
I don’t want to be the bigger person, but if I love all the things I love I will find patience to advocate for them in a more effective way.
#I’ve been trying to find the words for this for a long time#& I’m still not sure this is right in translation#but I used to go shooting in Texas at a friends property & had a long convo with a country boy about his use of the n word#I told him to think of the most backwards people he knew & understand that’s how people think of him when he says that#& last I checked tears later he was a huge advocate of the black community & showed up at events & spoke freely about his history#of ignorance & the shame that he carried for that#people can change#even the worst offenders can change#& it’s important to recognize that people who are awful feel awful#I’ve never met a happy person who goes out of their way to make someone else miserable#not to say you should prioritize this over your own well being#take care of you first#but because in that instance I wasn’t the target I COULD advocate for changes in behavior#pick your battles obvs#but love makes strides where hate will not#me#love

jfc file this under "studies that were not important enough to justify the animal abuse"
If we don’t microdose delusion we won’t make it through this reality babe….
#Makes me so mad!#You have to justify your reasons for using animals to get your study approved but they'll approve anything so what's the fucking point?#I sat in on a presentation once about a study where they burned rat's flesh as part of the protocol#They were trying to study some biomolecule surely there was a better way to do that?#And then they didn't get any real data in the end#this was some guy's doctoral thesis he spent years doing this#gave up his career as a pharmacist to become a researcher moved to a foreign country and did...that#I know this is hardly the point of this post but it's really hard to find this bs 'inspirational'#Bio academia could be so great it should be but instead it's...this!

can't tell if i'm like... starting to dislike these girls because im pmsing and that's pretty typical for me to suddenly not like certain people, or if it's genuinely because they've been giving me weird fucking vibes and did smth i think was shitty :/
#they left one dude in the club blackout drunk bc he said he didnt want to leave yet#and his phone died and he slept in the street. woke up with no memory of what happened#and a bachelorette party at the club had ripped his shirt off in shreds apparently#and its like. yeah ik those girls that left him aren't responsible for him that's not their job but like. he couldnt b responsible for hims#--himself in that state#we're in a foreign country and he was visibly fucking blackout wasted#and they left him there by himself#and then in the morning when it was like oh fuck we dont know where jake is? they were insistent that we didnt tell the profs and would#instead wait FOUR HOURS for him to contact us (WTF) before going to the spanish police Ourselves#like what the fuck do you think WE can accomplish??#whatever it turned out okay (or as ok as it could be) bc he managed to buy a charger and picked up when i tried calling again within that 1#hour that we discovered he never made it to his hotel that night#so like. it was fine we didnt need to get the professors or cops involved and nobody had to get sent back home to the US#but like. the fact that they STILL are treating it like no big deal is really giving me rancid vibes#he could have been robbed or assaulted or kidnapped or killed. and what would we have done#like. idk. it seems like theyre just trying to sweep it under the rug bc it was THEM who saw him last#it was THEM who abandoned him while he was in no state to be on his own#and it's especially jarring bc some of those girls i'd considered to be really great people that i really liked!!#and then for one of them especially to be LAUGHING when jake was telling her in person what had happened#like zero concern whatsoever#and its so offputting like... genuinely was this no issue in your eyes.#and it's scary bc it really is a double standard bc if this was a girl then everyone would have been flipping the fuck out#the profs and cops would be called ASAP even if it meant that people got sent home early from the study abroad. bc safety is more important#but bc 'hes a grown man he can handle himself' nobody was in any sort of rush to try and make sure he was okay#its just. i dont feel like i can trust half of them anymore when that was how they reacted to the situation#and when one girl today got lowkey pissed at me for being like yeah that was scary how jake was left all alone and slept in the streets#she was like 'well its not our problem. hes the one who didnt want to leave so its his own fault. he should be able to handle himself'#WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. WHAT THE FUCK.

A really random Batfamily HC I like to think about is Dick winning the Olympics a few years ago, never telling anyone, and all hell breaking loose when they find out.
Jason: You did not win gold in the Olympics.... Say sike, right now.
Dick: I'm not saying sike. I did win.
Tim: How? You're too famous, you'd be recognized!
Bruce: And more importantly, what about your secret identity?!
Dick: I wore a prosthetic nose, and entered under a fake name.
Stephanie: Do you have proof of that? And maybe a picture of that nose by any chance?
Dick: It was broadcast on television in over two hundred countries, I'm sure you could find it pretty easy.
Bruce: Back to the fake name-
Dick: It wasn't hard to make an alias, I just did what we do for undercover jobs.
Tim: You used my program without telling me!
Dick: I asked! You said I could.
Tim: I did? Ohhh...yeah, now that you mention it I think I vaguely remember you saying something about going to England and needing a new ID a few years ago.
Jason: You did all of that, just to...perform? Just...just because you wanted to?
Dick: ...Yeah, pretty much. I still have the medal sitting on a shelf in my apartment and a picture of me with some other competitors hanging on the wall.
Alfred: I for one, appreciated finally getting to see the Olympics from the front row. And in my own country, no less.
Bruce: What- what does that mean? Tell me you did not go with him to the Olympics...
Alfred: I was his accompaniment for the event. It was quite a good time.
Bruce: Dick...
Dick: What? He said he always wanted to go!
