I'm a Marine who's gotten multiple tattoos on libbo while drunk, and none of them were Nazi shit. They were stupid moto tattoos. Which to me begs the question of why Graham Platner's embarrassing chest tattoo was not a Marine Corps moto tattoo.

"It’s unfortunate that almost none of the people behind these accounts know very much about the ancient world." Unfortunately, ignorance is not the only thing wrong with them. @bretdevereaux.bsky.social on Elon Musk's X and the fascist statue accounts: www.thebulwark.com/p/why-stone-...

"I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

He's like SexHaver2005 from DOGE, but in the Pentagon? Say no more.

When this shit is over, we need legislation to ban political ambassadors. No country is so friendly that we can afford to risk putting our relationship in the hands of some random jackass who bought the position. Career FSOs or GTFO.

Scott Pelley has been fired by '60 Minutes.' From earlier today, here's some admiration for his willingness to speak truth to power. www.thebulwark.com/p/scott-pell...

We can negotiate price, but first you have to give me the car as a show of good faith.

"Hey Hezbollah, it's your cousin, Martin Bollah. You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well listen to *this*"

"I saw an interesting thing happen today. A college commencement speaker was praising AI, and rather than clapping or politely listening, the entire crowd booed him off the stage."

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Could Godzilla fix downtown zoning problems?

These are vital training milestones in teaching a dog how to do the chorus to Hip Hop Hooray.

I love that there's incontroverible proof Talarico is straight in this picture and it isn't the girlfriend.

"Now I think I can use God's power to avoid spending the next ten yeary-wearies platching me glazzies out as a plenny in HMP Wandsworth."

As long as as we're talking about what we're going to do to Palantir, my pitch is the "Detachment 201" tech executives who took commissions immediately run fitness tests or get adverse paperwork.

This is rookie NFL QB Cole Payton. He is 6’3”, 232 pounds.

Currently reading this book for school and I’m struck by how many of the footnotes are people I got to know over on the Old Twitter. I am left with a wave of nostalgia for what a fantastic forum that was for intermingling ideas. I feel lucky to have been a part of it and met so many amazing people

on neonliberalism this weekend: me and @sodrock.bsky.social talking about this kind of logistical interdiction and the future of modern war

Nobody thinks class 1 sustainment can touch them...until it does. And it becomes catastrophic really quickly.

Kcal/day is honestly a good basic planning factor, if we were doing HADR we'd pull it straight from USAID's field operations guide (if DOGE hadn't destroyed USAID). But someone should press him on what they're saying the standard is, because it will definitely be bullshit.

I think by the time this happens it's just going to be Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Lee Greenwood. The last 90s act in the concert will be the California Raisins until Trump realizes they're literally owned by the state of California.

Don't know who at CNN needs to hear it, but you can stop calling her an accuser and start calling her a victim now that a federal jury has concluded that's the case.

*slaps Strait of Hormuz* “Man, you can fit so many failed ceasefires in this baby.”

I'm starting to get the sense the tentative deal is mostly limited to agreeing on the shape of the table for the negotiations.

This kind of story makes working in the IC seem a lot cooler than it actually is. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

It's like they just went through every MTV Party To Go CD and looked up everyone who had been reduced to performing in a mall.

I’ve said this before: Don’t underestimate the intellectual rot that comes along with constantly telling ourselves we have the greatest military the world’s ever seen

I guess I'll need to watch this so I can more effectively talk shit to METOC when they brief the CO based on a forecast they just pulled off The Weather Channel.

Melian Dialogue mentioned time to deploy the goose meme.

This situation reminds me of a negotiation class with a simulated KLE. We told the roleplayer to start off with unreasonable demands he could walk back, and he came up with some good ones, like "The sheikh's company gets a monopoly on all US military contracts in this province."

So, a quick story. I have been at @comicpalooza.bsky.social, been swamped with long lines almost the entire weekend so far, and there was this very nice gentleman named Jin (not sure of the spelling). He came the first day and said he was bringing books the next day to get signed. 1/

idk man, you can shoot HE rounds

I love everything about this story. Irish win best Bradley crew despite not operating, and in some cases having never touched, Bradleys, or even anything tracked.

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

Since the Arlington story from March 2025 is going around, here's some of our other coverage from last year about related moves. taskandpurpose.com/news/soldier... taskandpurpose.com/military-lif... taskandpurpose.com/military-lif... taskandpurpose.com/news/dei-imp...

I guess the public has settled on hubristic adventure tourism as the most politically acceptable way to conduct public killings of billionaires.

Congrats to new DNI Seb Gorka!

My neighbor says foreign powers keep eating his allies, so i asked how many allies he has. he said every time one gets ate he just goes to the shelter and gets another ally. i told him it sounds like he is just feeding his allies to the foreign powers and his navy started crying

If we're doing reverse Domino Theory, why not just skip pretending we're going to protect the Philippines and jump straight to pretending we're going to protect Korea? Or hell, why not save some time and jump straight to Japan or Australia?
