  • Be warned: The only printer I found for this shirt when I got it printed it as one large vinyl block. It feels like it's half rain jacket and half t-shirt. You'd be better off getting Slammer's design from twitter and using a one-off screen printer.





  • I know they've been accused of hiding the deaths of international mercenaries in the past but can't think of any specific recent crisis they'd need to do propaganda for in that regard. The fog of war makes piecing this together hard. My best guess is that it's racist propaganda to downplay strong Russian recruitment of its Asian minority groups while the Ukrainian TCC can't kidnap enough medically disqualified grandpas to replace its casualties/rotate its forces. I've read that for groups like the Yakuts the amount of money the Russian military is paying can be generational wealth. Maybe there is some North Korean attache learning how to counter NATO weapons, but the big PR crisis they face is the manpower shortage and downplaying Russia's ability to win a war of attrition domestically. Calling those minority groups North Koreans seems like it's World War 3 baiting with the "impossibly weak but impossibly strong" boogeyman.





  • I can talk humanities and social sciences at a graduate level and am comfortable with the physical side of trauma medicine, but STEM subjects are really difficult for me for more or less the same reason. Shitty public/Catholic schooling meant I effectively lost out on a meaningful primary and secondary science and mathematics education. Now I'm a scientific horticulturist because I thought horticulture was a fake science that I could sneak my way into because I'm decent with plants. It isn't though. Outside of ecology, it's the ultimate interdisciplinary physical science. I've had to learn mathematics through analytical trigonometry and calculus but even basic algebra barely makes sense to me. Chemistry and physics are totally lost on me. I spent those preteen/teenage years building an intuitive knowledge base for the subjects that interest me but I feel the effects of an underfunded public school with any kind of super technical field that I never had childhood exposure to. It fundamentally doesn't click.

    One thing that stood out from that photo of his porch is that there's like 1-2 weeks of mail laying there. I love that he's so scared he won't open his door without spending $13k/week on bodyguards, seemingly indefinitely.
