The house ending really synergized well with the early 2010's libertarian crowd and honestly i cant think of an ending more discredited by real life than it. Hell, im pretty sure the tv show's move to make house more nikola tesla than elon musk was entitely intentional (one of the good changes imo)

"I fired him because he wouldn’t respect the authority of the President…I didn’t fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that’s not against the laws for generals."

What the bot doin

once again showing that denial is much easier than control

Could hardly be worse than AM faceplanting with a car trying to tear itself apart

Of course, the trump admin is objectively anti-Ukrainian so this problem has only gotten worse

One of the greatest achievements in modernity is that practically no one in the developed world knows what gleaning is!

More or less "the same kind of reactionary forces that always emerge, but this time following Fukuyama's prediction of 'they're going to get wealthy and complacent and bored and eventually tear down the whole order just to feel something'. Yes, everyone knew it was as stupid as it sounds then, too"

my theory of the Harris campaign, which makes exactly nobody happy: 1. she was put in an incredibly deep and arguably insurmountable hole by Biden 2. she made significant errors, largely in not separating herself from him enough 3. her results were still in the upper range of plausible outcomes

I too would have the ego the size of a planet if I won against literally everyone in europe several times

It’s so cool how we’re in a large-scale military conflict and the President is spending his time building a ballroom. This rocks. I finally know what being a Roman must have felt like.

All eyes on the fuck jet

This is what Rumsfeld would call an Unnoem Unnoem

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

Chotiner's genius isn't necessarily in extracting incredibly incriminating statements from the guilty, it's in making sure 1 of every 5 interviews is completely laudatory towards a deserving subject, which is enough to convince the other 4 of 5 interviewees that they're getting a glow-up.

I guess the only thing she's good at is killing her dogs.

My general reaction to the last 96 hours of nonsense: My latest⬇️

Looking at my copy of Dancing in the Glory of Monsters with dread

Theres a lot more differences than similarities but it really does feel like echoes of the iraqi army after desert storm

This is such a good hate watch

"Duel Citizens"

god this reminds me of how hobbled the ck2 version of the mod was without dlc.

Me, gazing up at Miyazaki as he betrays me personally for not greenlighting a Bloodborne Remake:

imagine if all of these weapons could have been dropped on the heads of Putin's armies instead

and to make it explicit, If you’re watching videos of kids get incinerated you’re not bearing witness, you’re almost guaranteed to transform into an incredibly unpleasant person who’s going to be a liability to whatever cause he cares about until thats dealt with

One of the things that is incredibly disorientating about graphic stuff like this is that I'd expect that people would have learned this lesson with the SCW, but a signifigant number of people were simply not around for that to sink in.

There is a lot downstream of obama not vaporizing assad when he used chemical weapons against syrians

conor lamb revenge tour i beg

I don't think people have really grappled with what the mass decline of violent crime in the US has meant for the economic ecosystem of superheroes, which is rapidly approaching a demographic cliff, as street-level crimefighting becomes a thing of the past, and avenues for promotion dry up.

This would be really offensive to european intelligence services if they didnt have to ask their russian handlers what to do next.

Whole lot of the videos for the russo-ukrainian war is going to go dark from this

It was Kennedy's guys going "Well, we tried fighting it on the cheap with covert action, airpower, and advisors."

The thing with LBJ's escalation in vietnam is that american elite opinion was universally *for* boots on the ground.

I also doubt that Jack would have done anything differently in Vietnam.

I cannot speak if I speak I account suspended

WE AGREE

From 2022

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

Not a massive Ukrainian victory. You can't declare victory while you're still bleeding & dying. A massive strategic victory for NATO, which has far less to fear from Russia than it did 5 years ago. We owe Ukraine the opportunity they've long since earned to celebrate as we already can.

this reminds me of the best SOTU drinking game I ever heard, in the first trump term: start drinking as much as you can at 5pm so you pass out before it starts

The take I have seen posted and deleted several times is "as opposition to Israel becomes more common due to their sicko behavior, the background level of acceptable antisemitism will naturally rise because most people are too stupid not to."

Little-known international rule that teams can play 6 guys against Canada only, as a little treat

Battle school is a dumb genre, but it is a remarkably less dumb genre if you shift it to a PhD from high school. Consider:
