North Korean soldiers sent to battle against Ukraine by Russia encounter unlimited Internet for the first time in their lives. And, according to a report by Gideon Rachhmann of the Financial Times they've become addicted to it.

North Korean troops deployed to Russia may have discovered online pornography, and really gotten into it, the chief foreign affairs commentator for the Financial Times newspaper posted on X.
“A usually reliable source tells me that the North Korean soldiers who have deployed to Russia have never had unfettered access to the internet before,” wrote Gideon Rachman.
President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday selected Susie Wiles, a longtime GOP strategist who has spearheaded the Republican leader's campaign operations since 2021, to serve as White House chief of staff, saying in a statement that she helped "achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history."
But Trump's team didn't mention in its announcement that Wiles worked as a lobbyist for the tobacco company Swisher International while running the former president's 2024 bid.
James Elmer Fudd Comer dreamed that if Republicans retain the House they will try to implement requiring a national ID for all Americans to vote so they can suppress the vote nationally.
This of course is unconstitutional since Congress can't force other states on how to run their elections. That's why they couldn't pass it in 2000 after the hanging chad win.
COMER: If our elections continue to improve, I can see a national ID being required to vote in this Republican Washington, D.
For any Americans who voted for Trump thinking he'd usher in a better economy for you, here’s a spoiler alert: It’s the rich who will be getting richer. A lot richer.
The Guardian has the deets:
The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated that the world’s 10 wealthiest people gained nearly $64bn (about £49.5bn) on Wednesday, the largest daily increase since the index began in 2012.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, registered the largest increase with a $26.5bn addition to his fortune, which now stands at $290bn.
It's always, always projection with these clowns. Elon Musk is calling anyone else a propaganda puppet? Via Rolling Stone:
Jimmy Kimmel is getting a lot of heat from Republicans following Donald Trump‘s election victory. Elon Musk referred to the late-night host as an “insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet” on X following the election results, leading Kimmel to respond on last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
During his monologue, Kimmel recounted how he had shared his thoughts on the election on his show and how he was “going to miss democracy.” “I heard from a lot of people about it, but none more prominent than the richest man in the world,” he told the audience.
To the 'men' tweeting out, "Your body my choice," you haven't thought this out very well. My gun, my choice. Your balls, my fist. Some of the 'men' are even advocating for rape, and women are not amused. All of this follows Trump's presidential victory. One little feller tweeted, "Make Project 2025 Real Again!" following this post on this shithole site called Xitter (I am not calling it X ever).
The admitted virgin white nationalist Nick Fuentes posted this:
Your body, my choice.
