Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

So remember, if it’s not about replacing Winston Churchill with a beaver, it’s not Woke.

A really good piece from @vermontgmg.bsky.social abt the normalcy bias with which the press is covering Trump's utter failure to understand what he has done with the Iran war. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-surp...

so they gonna rename it the House of Political Appointees now?

The genius businessman strikes again

I'd say "shots fired" but really I mean "strongly worded letter drafted, but not sent"

It's a lot easier to explain now:

Oh, yeah, also, just to give everyone a sense of the scale of the invasion we're talking about, here's Hormuz and environs off the East Coast. Also, half of this is mountains. Also, drones fly so maybe it doesn't even work.

Sure sounds like GFiber is heading to the Google Product Graveyard: this looks like goog divesting. Astound is owned by Stonepeak, a private equity firm, which also owns Wave broadband.

Finally an honest headline

These are deeply unserious people. I am more serous than them and, I must stress, I am a fucking clown pretending to adult.

"missiles arent real," i assure myself as i close my eyes and pilot my ship into the strait of hormuz

Again:

“We’d like to have a ceasefire but also we love blowing up whoever answers the phone.”

US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!” US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

Episode 43 of the Kilauea eruption is a BEAST. They just zoomed out and uhhh this may be on its way to setting a record for tallest lava fountains. What on Earth. 😍🌋 Cam 2 live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiyt...

Gallipoli 2.0 is going to be lit (on fire, from the oil wells)

Critical thinking is under serious threat from large language models/AI. Uni administrators are too prone to accept tech hype! (plus it can be wrong, steals IP, has devasting environment/energy impacts). @jessicacalarco.com made a great one-pager I share with students (plus effective model of comms)

I don't think we truly appreciate how much skill this takes

Praise the Lord

this is going so well

Unfortunate that so much US political media is committed to ignorance, credulity, and obsequiousness, because the response to Trump saying Iran has tomahawks should’ve been incessant questioning like “how did you let that happen?,” “did you authorize sales?,” and “who are you holding accountable?”

An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.

“We are confident things are under control but you must get the hell out of there, now.”

bluesky being immediately negatively polarized into going with skeets because we were asked not to was the first sign that we were going to make it as a posting site every true posting forum declares forever war against the mods

I will post video of me going way faster than the posted 15 MPH limit in construction zone then act surprised when I can’t make a sudden 90 degree corner in the construction zone. I mean, sure, FSD did it but was she just not looking at the road?

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

if they were in the U.S. ICE would detain them, label them as terrorists, then deport to third country.

can you put a price on favorable history? no! it’s favorable! it’s a bargain at twice the price! it’s also undefinable! don’t ask questions!

Former Pixar employee u/PixelatedRonin fires back at chief creative officer Pete Docter on Reddit over claims on LGBT storyline cut from 'Elio' (2025):

US strategic goals are not the same as Israel's strategic goals, part 1

10/10 take. no notes

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

Proton still did *exactly* what the promotional material in the screenshots promised: the contents were protected; the turnover of payment information was in accord with Swiss privacy law. The problem isn't Proton. The problem wasn't Proton's promotional material. The problem is people don't read.

Prepaid for gas for my next rental in a few weeks and feeling like a king

Kari Lake has lost three out of her last two elections.

“So yeah, Mr. President, it turns out your big beautiful tariffs actually raised negative $400Bn in revenue. No-one has fucked up funding as bigly as you have, sir.”

The "Tan Suit" was a national scandal. The "Coffee Cup Salute" was an insult to the uniform. But a baseball cap at a Dignified Transfer? That's just "Saturday" for the MAGA movement.

Geneva Convention 1977 Protocols: “It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as... drinking #water installations & supplies and irrigation works... for any other motive.”

Alt framing: Two radical Christian nationalists arrested after terrorist attack at NY Mayor’s residence.

generally one of two things happens in very republican areas: 1. didn’t realize it was government money (“keep your government hands off my medicare”) 2. did realize it was government money and got mad about it (“fuck your medicaid expansion”) the association is cultural not transactional

I can’t believe how stupid everything is
