So much that needs to be said, done, fixed, torn out and rebuilt. It's overwhelming but it's the work of a lifetime and we need to build momentum & energy toward something better. Sometimes that means leading w/ hope and optimism, but yeah sometimes you really just have to throw a political shitfit

building the case to the rest of the world isn’t to explain Trump’s actions are wrong—that’s clear. It’s to demonstrate elite dissent & rejection of Trump’s actions, to reassert Congress’s role in authorizing force, & to create the kind of public noisiness about policy that characterizes democracies

Watch them not get the convictions

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video

Fucking hell

Sharing more creations and oddities is a good a 2026 resolution as any

Remember kids, De Blasio is watching. He's always watching.

It's Zohran's New York baby

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

"2500 Americans are killed daily by cardiovascular disease. By properly classifying the precursors as WMDs, we can fight a Clausewitzian Active Defensec against the transnational organizations destroying American lives..."

The PLA has now wrapped up its two-day military drills around Taiwan. According Taiwanese Defence Ministry, the Chinese military fired 27 rockets from the coastal Fujian province, and at least 10 of them landed in Taiwan's 24 nautical mile contiguous zone. focustaiwan.tw/politics/202...

China announced the Justice Mission 2025 hours ago, a military exercise that will take place around Taiwan. Live-fire exercises will take place tomorrow on 12/30.

Merry Christmas bluesky I brought eggnog

I blame my lack of #NuclearWarOnXmas on fascism & COVID intersection. Gentle reminder: a tree near a window can be a death trap when ignited from the thermal pulse of a nearby nuclear detonation!

YOU ARE BEING CONNED ON A LEVEL UNPRECEDENTED IN HOLIDAY HISTORY

Japanese Ministry of Defense reports PLA radar lock on Santa around the disputed Senkaku Islands

*at the expense of DDGs / frigates

Ofc this is putting aside completely the discussion to be had that building battleships in 2025 is malpractice to the degree that it should probably be considered sabotage and result in multiple impeachments

this is just insane

Wait until you hear that LLMs can only train on digitized/datafied info. Most of the FACTS scholars use are in archives/libraries. Less than 1% of archival colletions worldwide have been digitized. Also: lots of facts are not even in archives, but in the attics.

The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense force working on railguns instead of modular gold-plated hulls.

Renuclearizing the surface navy means assuming so many new risks: more chances for mistaken identity, severe complications for crewing and sustainment, and just blurring of stakes. But even if not, all the inherent problems of TNW would apply. We looked at naval use briefly here:

This particular bad idea isn't just Trump, 'serious' nuclear hawks have been pushing it -- in part arguing putting tactical nukes on Trident subs wasn't very useful for deterrence, which is exactly what people like Tom and I warned when they successfully pushed for tactical nukes on Trident subs

"The Navy secretary John Phelan says the Trump-class battleships will be equipped with the “nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile.”" This whole thing must really slap if you're stupid

Show me the welders Show me the shipyards This is vaporware

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

For every 1 post you make or share about someone who sucks, you have to share 3 posts about someone who is awesome. That's the rule.

a required skill for being able to use an LLM in any professional capacity is discernment, essentially already being an expert in the field so you know when (and why) its outputs are incorrect. now, LLMs are being deployed to non-expert groups in a way that ensures they will never *be* experts

Oh thank fuck.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Gen Z is killing the SEAD industry. Nobody wants to wild weasel anymore.

Again: none of this is legal, and the rush to commit crimes just because a guy in a tie said so — and journalists’ refusal to describe it as a crime — is just incomprehensible to me. You can say no!

"Superiority" "Dominance" "Supremacy" All of this allcaps boomer thinking is incompatible with the real world challenges we're going to face over the next 20 years, and every bit of it needs to be expunged from government.

If it's true that car dealerships are the engine driving millionaire-level Republican wealth, handing out a ~$1500 bonus that all boots qualify for is perhaps the most brazen partisan redistribution of public funds in history

Also NYT with "Trump addresses the nation as he tries to tamp down economic anxieties" as if getting hollered at by the president is a normal experience for Americans worried about making rent

Do we think this was supposed to be the Operation Southern Rubio announcement so they booked the airtime and started tweeting accordingly, but he TACO'd between then and now and so they ran a MAGA omnirant instead?

Coulda been an allcaps email
