It required over 100,000 men and 500 ships to take Iwo Jima and the battle lasted over a month. In the end US forces had casualties (~25k) that exceeded the total number of men the Japanese had in the battle (20k). Not sure what point he’s trying to make. Also war has changed a lot since 1945.

He looks like he was drawn by Don Martin.

I like that the screen cap looks like Reba is explaining hentai to two people who are disturbed by what they are seeing.

Neither photo is of South Bend, which has the state’s loveliest courthouse. Also the birthplace of Pat Paulsen!

i am, effective immediately, opting out of the american century of humiliation. it will not apply to me. thank you!

A few weeks ago CBC reporter Sheena Goodyear reached out to me for comment on the new Spinosaurus paper. I said I couldn’t, because of Epstein connection Nathan Myhrvold’s involvement with it. We got to talking about how paleontology - especially dinosaur research- remains hostile to women. 🧪

thinking about the hero of this game for Team Venezuela, Eugenio Suárez, and his comments about ICE’s effect on Latino baseball players just last week

Trump on Joe Kent: "I always thought he was weak on security. Very weak on security. It's a good thing that he's out."

This is an example of how state laws protect physical, print newspapers (which have lobbyists who advocate for them, and them alone, in Olympia) and not the overwhelming majority of modern news outlets, which are online. The Internet is not new, and we should all be in this together.

Every time someone wants to ay something about humans being different now than we were five or more minutes ago, they should read Ecclesiastes

Woke up with it. This is hardest rocking song any Byrds lineup ever did. Clarence White played in an out of character psych fuzz style and it’s only the outro that has any feeling of his usual country rock playing. He didn’t like his work on this song, but it’s great.

Beware the Ides of Laura Mars

Capt. Ariana G. Savino, 31, of Covington, was assigned to the 6th Air Refueling Wing, at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.

Mitchell Gaff, 68, was charged last week by Snohomish County prosecutors with first-degree murder in connection with the 1980 death of 21-year-old Susan Vesey.

Glenn Greenwald is Beyoncé's Shadow the Hedgehog.

My general view of American politics right now is that there is an undercurrent of antisemitism, overt and subtle, that undergirds a lot of the flexible ideologies you encounter among voters and a lot of denial goes into elite Politics Knowers missing it entirely. Very grim stuff.

Woke up with this in my head. Ridiculous lyrics backed by hard hippie rock from the guy who made Spirit in the Sky. In true hippie fashion he made one more record after this before retiring to his dairy farm in Petaluma.

@space101fm.bsky.social playing the best version of this song this afternoon youtu.be/1tLuzPrZJaY?...

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

The other murder capital

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

@kagrox.bsky.social we have reached new heights in “I’ve heard it both ways.”

I always thought it was a tragedy that Cheddar Man was most likely lactose intolerant, and therefore would have been unable to fully appreciate his eponymous cheese.

The vibe I bring to the function

The brain of Douglas J. Feith should be studied like the brain of an athlete with CTE.

No, I honestly can’t see that.

Not really interested in finding out if Brimelow floated the Jewish wife thing as a pro or con for Platner, but it is interesting to consider why he would wade into this with a lie that would make Platner seem less like a Nazi,

Pizza Man Amery, WI

It's not nice but that doesn't stop it from being true

One of the funniest things to come out of this are the brits who won’t leave Dubai even as it’s being bombed. One influencer adjacent guy went on a live stream on his balcony and said he’d rather be killed by Iran than go back to Wigan

Elbridge Colby is the physical embodiment of this scene.

Dan Goldman's wife, who is also his campaign treasurer, reposted at least half a dozen racist tweets on Twitter which denigrated Palestinians and Jews who sympathize with them. In one post, EndWokeness said "Jews for Palestine" are like "Chickens for KFC". Goldman says he doesn't share those views.

excuse me, this is coach, from the beloved '90s sitcom COACH

We are so back.

According to this Dem congressman, he supports a limited military action - not a war - that gets “wrapped up fairly quickly” but also results in the transformation of the entire Middle East.

My one opinion tonight is that House members should want to stay in the House and not make higher office bids as frequently as they do. Work your way up the leadership track and you can have some fun when your party holds the majority. The Senate, in contrast, seems like a drag.
