Hannibal in Italy, Napoleon in Russia, the US in Vietnam, and a lot more — history is full of warfighters that are great at killing people, truly world-class, yet end up losing. Almost as if killing, while a core feature of war, is not the entirety of it.

Evidently, something was broken with the other link. So, here, I've written about the right-wing attacks on PME and civilian educational institutions. othermeans.substack.com/p/the-myth-o...

This is the ideal Democratic candidate. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Dude wrote some of the most insightful and eloquent defenses of human freedom ever written in between repeatedly raping someone who by law was his property.

EXCLUSIVE: The Pentagon is considering severing its relationship with Anthropic over the AI firm's insistence on maintaining some limitations on how the military uses its models.

Every D: “The United States will fight for free countries and free people when they’re under attack by those who would scatter, enslave, or destroy them.”

one of the fundamental thesis of conservatism is that the liberals are all too chickenshit to do anything about their antics. anyways

When Musk blocked Russian Starlink last week, it stranded infiltration teams that relied on drones for food and ammo. Ukraine pounced. Assault troops with Abrams tanks attacked along nine vectors in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia, clearing five settlements near the Haichur River.

It is this humble servant's duty to report that Arnaud Bertrand is never beating the charges of being a thoroughly historically-illiterate dumbass...

Finally penned my "If you only play D&D, I encourage you to try other TTRPGs because you might find you love them" manifesto.

I don't think LLMs are a scam. I do think they're overhyped. I think a good amount of that comes from tech industry self-importance. The tech industry frequently assumes that anything disruptive for them is as or more disruptive for everyone, and market as such. I don't think that's the case here.

If you have any information about this whatsoever, I’m marisakabas.04 on Signal

Kamala Harris would not be randomly stopping flights into and out of El Paso for 10 days sans explanation.

Felipe Ángeles, artillery enthusiast and one of the most capable generals of the Mexican revolution.

one of the mind traps of late 2010s-early 2020s left of center online political keyboard warrioring was giving stalinists, maoists, most anarchists the time of day they have reach parity w/liberals on twitter and bluesky and *some* academia settings, nowhere else, you seriously can just ignore them

Son we live in a world with class structure, and that structure has to be guarded by men with slurs. Who's gonna do it? You, shitlib poster? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for minorities and curse the vanguard. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of no-

That highly classified whistleblower report Tulsi Gabbard covering up? Guardian reports it’s an NSA intercept of a call between a close Trump associate and “an individual associated with foreign intelligence.” Sounds similar to Trump’s campaign chair meeting Russian intel and sharing data in 2016.

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

You wanted a Schmittian struggle and enemies. Well congratulations, you got it. But the enemy gets a fucking vote.

Today’s Mechanical Turks: Philippino.

Really don't think it's a coincidence that the sweaty Bannon statements about ICE at polling places and Fulton county all happens at the exact same time when the "Uh we are going to lose the senate" pieces are dropping.

Orzhov. Crime Church is an underrated aesthetic, and black/white remains my favorite combo.

I'm makin' a withdrawal. Gimme all my Bitcoins, ässhole.

This could get quite ugly and spectacular.

This is another example of horseshoe theory

We really need a movie where tribal warriors subject to the Aztec empire give a totally sincere speech about how they are allying with demons themselves to get revenge on the hated Aztecs

We tell stories about Helen of Troy and the Greek gods because they matter to us. We’re their inheritors, their cultural continuers. And so are people of color, in all the same ways. The ancient Greeks belong to everyone now.

"We were thinking Kellogg-Briand, if it was written entirely by track and field enthusiasts."

they thought it was for based crimes like smoking weed and collecting guns and not paying taxes, not cringe crimes

holy shit, you mean to tell me that people were committing crimes with the thing whose single use case is crime

It’s 2026 and people are mad about Schumer It’s 2024 and people are mad about Biden It’s 2016 and people are mad about Hillary It’s 2012 and people are mad about Obama

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

oh whoa no way

‎European diplomat to NBC: Trump-Rutte agreement on Greenland was without the knowledge of European leaders.

My “this does not mean isolationism” shirt is getting a lot of questions already answered by the shirt.

it’s the part people overlook in Fukuyama’s End of History and the Last Man.

Trump's first year back: The consent of the governed has been withdrawn www.gelliottmorris.com/p/one-year-o...

President Trump blamed a noticeable bruise on his left hand to his high intake of aspirin. The bruise appeared after he bumped a table at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to the U.S.

NATO & Denmark: We will give you the exact same security arrangements you have had for the past 40 years in Greenland. Trump: Total surrender! Art of the deal!

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”

I'm dead serious. The current problems are because a bunch of the Natsec apparatus have played map painting games and have internalized "more land = more numbers" at a very deep level.

fuck off adam

Fundamentally the lesson American voters took from Trump I and Stop the Steal is that Worse Things Aren't Possible imo
