I once had a roommate in the barracks who bought these things.

The ombudsman for Stars and Stripes, the deployed servicemember's paper of record, writes in its pages that the publication "is in peril of losing its editorial independence and becoming nothing more than a public relations arm of the Pentagon." www.stripes.com/opinion/2026...

The "debate me bro" culture segments of this site has developed is unpleasant.

I always knew we have good people that we fight with, but it really came home when I first met a British Royal Marine. They're British as all hell but still so familiar. I'd trust any of them in combat.

[me telling my story how I successfully led a commando raid on a cargo ship that was breaking sanctions] it was crazy [friend who once got a text from me where I accidentally called the grinch the grink] was it onboard the grink?

We are all Realists now, yes? This quote should be posted in every 1L classroom in every law school. Those cases in your casebook? They are not “the law.” They aren’t IRRELEVANT to it, but they are just a jumping-off point. Which is a point I think we generally stress too infrequently.

don't ever talk to me about how great the ivies are

Before I realized it was an ad for AI, I thought it was pointing out how people who use genAI create a slop product that requires so many corrections that you need to categorize them by color.

Okay. So we self immolated ourselves on the international stage so we could keep the defense framework we established with Greenland 70 years ago. Sick.

What if you made them a little bigger and stacked them on top of each other in some kind of building? It could share electricity, water, heat; be real efficient and probably cost a lot less. I wonder if anyone has tried something like that.

Liam and Ben did more with less than anyone else on this list it's gotta be one of those two guys. Kyle pasted together an island of misfit toys into a winner, for sure. But

I didn't even know half of this about her. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I don't think Chris is alone here

ICE in Minnesota is learning a key thing about the Midwest: we are very polite, but we're also the same people who crushed the Confederacy.

This cycle of "Stephen Miller openly breaks the law until the case winds its way up to the SC and possibly loses" will keep going until somehow something stops Stephen Miller openly breaking the law in the first place.

Ah, yes: those fleeing places like Venezuela, Iran, or Somalia are obviously doing it because the domestic job market is bad. There's no difference in livability between New York City and Lagos.

Anyway this remains my position: “I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” —James Baldwin

Any lazy, convenient excuse for high housing prices that doesn't blame (1) not building enough housing and (2) car-brained suburban sprawl

Saga of a bus hijacked by a disgruntled driver:

You know, so-called AI could have been okay. We could have made specialised models for specific tasks with better logic without pretending one model knows everything and scrape data from entire web for it while also soaking up drinkable water. We could have also left art alone.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Why tf do you need to know what marker was on my birth certificate for employment?

I know there's so much wrong with this picture but the Marine Corps has me so institutionalized that my biggest issue is that they're shooting while sprinting

Countdown until a John Mearsheimer take about how Greenland provoked US aggression by being part of NATO?

American officers know what Trump is planning, and their minds will rebel at directives to take everything they’ve prepared to do for years and apply it backwards, against the allies they have trained to work with and protect. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

i do think even a lot of otherwise well-informed Americans really do not understand just how much Trump has already mutilated our global reputation and global trust. it will take a long time and many acts of extreme contrition on our part to rebuild this.

I guess he doesn't know what the term "coalition partners" means.

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.

Today would be a great day for CNAS, CSIS, Brookings, Atlantic Council, RAND, IDA, CNA, & every veterans’ advocacy group to say an attack on NATO over Greenland would be a crime under US and international law and it would shatter American military capacity for generations. They won’t say a word.

The uncivilized civilian-slaughtering Nazis fought their wars high on Pervitin, which might partially explain their unusually extreme barbarity. They also gutted and burned a lot of German culture and history. Even if they truly thought so, Nazis did not really love Germany. They were uncivilized.

What bliss it probably was to know Bill Belichick back in 2016 and have no clue what was coming in ten years.

just actually looked at the image properly here and it is wild how all the ICE tacticool LARP dipshits are lined up perfectly in a row

US government's policy toward the Big 3 automakers—encouraging them to invest in massive, US-only SUVs & trucks, now encouraging them to underinvest in EVs—has reinforced their global irrelevance. Ford sold 33% fewer vehicles worldwide in 2024 than 2015! GM sold 40% fewer vehicles!

There is no evidence that they have the most rudimentary weapon handling skills, let alone any others. The are no more a “specialist” in violence than my child’s construction paper art a surgical qualification.

It’s rare to see numbers this low Even chlamydia probably gets 4

One of these countries is not like the others.

Someone should (1) show Trump a big impressive list of all the US military currently stationed in Greenland, (2) UDP a small contingent of Marines up there to do some kind of cold weather training (like we already do in Norway), and (3) tell him it's "mission accomplished." I think it could work.

All because the man we re-elected to President and allow to declare wars whenever he wants can't understand a Mercator projection

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
