Military Schism!

lot of you are mad at hegseth but between stuff like this and iran there's just objectively no one working harder to sink trump than him

Spotify will sometimes prompt me that there are new releases by Beethoven. Which is *technically* true (there are always new recordings of Beethoven pieces hitting streaming) but is just funny for them to phrase it that way

Trump is asking Congress for a $1.5 TRILLION military budget in fiscal year 2027. A massive increase. Pentagon funding hit $1 trillion last year between appropriations and party-line reconciliation legislation. The military has failed to pass an audit for eight straight years.

remains mad that Pele,who everyone agrees is one of the best strikers of all time, lied constantly about this and awarded himself ~500 fake goals. I make it 786 real goals. the fact that some of his goals in friendlies came against fucking US Navy XI teams shows exactly why they shouldn't be counted

ahhhh the spectacle of Trump going on national tv to say that the US destroyed all Iranian air defense and the literal next day Iran shoots down an American jet, truly a beautiful moment in the decline of empire

Lot of recalled products down there.

there are two absolutely canonical Good Friday posts

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

The new season of DAREDEVIL is all about a corrupt New York businessman winning electoral office and turning the police into his personal army of murderous goons to terrorize the streets while he illegally enriches himself and, I don't know, it just doesn't resonate today.

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

windows keeps hallucinating monitors that don't exist I'm laughing so hard help

Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him

Halting their planned concentration camps is a huge victory www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Remember kids: means testing is for smug busybodies and jackasses who want to waste money punishing people for being poor!

The war and the economy and treating Christian nationalism are big problems but we’d go along way to sorting all that out if our media would show more investigative interest in whether or not our president is a pedophile who might’ve even committed murder to cover up his crimes

may you live in interesting times

ICE edit

here’s a comic about ❤️being kind❤️

It is, in fact, the stuff of populist campaigns! Everyone means everyone!

Trump: “Vice President JD Vance is now in charge of ‘FRAUD’ in the United States.” (Notice he didn’t say FIGHTING fraud.)

Nixon formed Amtrak at the very last moment in American history where it was possible to do something like that so I’m backing Tricky Dick.

There’s always money at the Banna Strand.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

Well I’m pretty sure that American suspicions about the British monarchy were confirmed 250 years ago.

They really are happy to have a military that is weaker, an economy that is poorer, a culture that is duller, universities that are dumber, as long as they are all whiter

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

It was extremely funny that when these Chud Boers arrived and they realised that you aren’t allowed to work with refugee status in the USA and there’s no support network for them whatsoever

Well their first mistake was looking for him in Cardiff. He hasn’t been in South Wales for years

The Channel 4 doc about how Labour swiftly and utterly fucked it begins in 2024, presumably for much the same reasons that ones about World War I tend to begin in 1914: a lot of messy pre-history that we don’t fancy getting bogged down in.

I've said this before but it remains true. Working in an Off License on Holy Thursday used to be like the if the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan was sponsored by Diageo.

what’s the matter, you’ve barely touched your easter potato

The loss of 22 episode seasons means we're losing out on the time honored tradition of "episode in which recurring character is suddenly turned evil via MacGuffin and now the actor gets to have fun"

yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

Oracle just laid off 30,000 people In 2025 Oracle made $57.4B in revenue & saved $3.3B in federal taxes due to Trump's tax cut for billionaires & mega corps $57.4B revenue, $3.3B additional tax savings, 30K workers fired "Trickle down" is the greatest scam in history to rob working people

The energy conservation isn’t about your commute or your home energy consumption or your holidays it’s about conserving supply for logistics for foods and medicines things could go very bad very fast

A person I think about sometimes is Bob Ebeling, the man who realised the Challenger launch was going to go wrong, and spent his life wracked with guilt at failing to stop it, to the extent that people wrote to him on his deathbed trying to help him find peace. www.npr.org/sections/the...

Hey Mr Starkey - Ireland may want a word, you absolute basket case.

That's why it's utterly critical to make the case that Whiskey Pete is losing the Iran War bc he's a bigot.

no way Hegseth isn't remembered as the least competent high level military leader in U.S. history

Personally I wouldn't leave Earth orbit, Earth is quite nice and it's where I keep all my stuff

Two old men discuss Star Trek is my favourite TV show www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8uL...

The greatest failure of Irish Independence is that we didn't drive all these aristocrat landlords into the Irish Sea

Gorging myself on seafood just to spite the MBA dickheads

It's like we're in a competition with Iran to see who can run out of general officers first

Pete's grievances go far beyond policy differences with senior leadership. He generally (and baselessly) believes the Army has been too woke for his aggressive, crusader-style leadership, when the reality is that Army has been trying to get rid of him for years because he's mediocre and dangerous.

They immediately identified that this guy was a loose unit and put him somewhere where he couldn't get in anyones way

Second, Hegseth was "pulled by his District of Columbia National Guard unit from guarding Joe Biden’s January 2021 inauguration" after he was flagged by unit members as being a potential "insider threat." It effectively ended his military career.
