We’re in shambles again

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

It’s the Banana Wars

Compare this to Biden leaving Afghanistan & think about what the incentives are for every American politician

Panama 1989 has to be the closest comparison right? But even that was about keeping the canal open for flow of global trade.

Buenos días, señorita. Soy estadounidense.

This was the excheck for mission success

Roosevelt Corollary bros today be like

Too funny not to post

It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams

We haven't seen an Indiana squad turn back an Alabama offense this decisively since Antietam

Surely, you can’t be serious.

My personal favorite NYE tradition is the drunk Lance Corporal proposing to his girlfriend in Times Square live on TV

Everything gets memeified. I’ve seen more memes about the day cares than actual articles. A complex issue boiled down to a nihilistic, sarcastic caption. And that’s what gets broadly consumed. All context and nuance is utterly lost. And when that’s pointed out: “what it’s just a joke! Lighten up!”

Somewhere in the last ten years I realized that you needed to, you know, go to the second page of google to get the real story. Or take the five minutes to find the source material. And the thing is I don’t know how you get an entire country who’s brains are melted by tik tok and twitter to do that

I’m rewatching Master of the Air and I just has to imagine that there is no other drunk quite like “the war is over” drunk

bluesky is where elder millennials enjoying internet retirement meet younger millennials with untreated depression

Another great example of exurban/rural America thinking their life experiences make them some sort of unique/special snowflake amidst the larger American experience. Oh you went binge drinking with your high school friends and then made some really questionable choices?

During Linus’ recitation of Luke 2 in A Charlie Brown Christmas, as he begins verse 10, he drops his blanket at precisely the moment he says “Fear not: for behold I bring you tidings of great joy…” It is the only time we ever see Linus drop his blanket. “Fear not”

Don’t we know that the Census of Quirinius occurred in the springtime?

The four year old is downstairs chanting “No more Christmas!”, in full view of the Elf, because I told her we’re watching Xhristmas movies today and not Paw Patrol

This also answers the question: which Catholics on the Court believe the Pope is the Vicar of Christ and fear for their souls?

I TOOK A FUCKING VACATION DAY TODAY. MY FIRST ONE SINCE JULY. I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF YOUR HOSSES BOTHER YOU ON YOIR DAYS OFF. THATS A YOU PROBLEM. SO NO I DIDNT SEND YOU THE FILE YOU ASKED FOR AT 8AM ON MY DAY OFF.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Why are there Kates in the sky?

I bet Konrad loves this shit

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, FORTY BELOW, SNOOPY WENT UP IN SEARCH OF HIS FOE

Yes, yes airport beers, shower beers, beach beers, tailgate beers. No beer tops the train beer on the last commute home before the holidays beer.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

*taps mic, clears throat* The greatest General in American history ordered a frontal assault, uphill, across a mile of open ground, against an entrenched position, in full view of his enemy’s artillery.

Your future Fed Chair

Gosh I wonder why

Bobby Lee on a victory arch. Lmao.

I mean the only way you could look more guilty was if nothing was redacted

The kids in Belfast used to bang trash can kids when the Army was coming
