When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.

Who could have foreseen this?

A full professor at Princeton poasting for hours about a guy who gets type casted in Adam Sandler movies.

Everyone talks about Dort poasting but there’s an active duty brigade commander out there reasoning that AI poasting blood and soil nationalism along with shameless ingratiation with other poasters will clear a path to GO for him.

These peoples’ brains would catch fire if you somehow found a way to short circuit their ability to employ almost exclusively circular reasoning.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity:

If you’re terminally online this gal was the “socialist sailor moon” scoffing at some infowars interviewer for whatever insane rant he was on by responding with “we just want healthcare.” Rudderless weirdos stay rudderless.

The funny thing is that most people would not catch hell for this if they had a modicum of humility and self awareness and weren’t fucking parading around the internet acting like they’re the reincarnation of David Hackworth.

The game theory enjoyer has logged on.

The people who think they can get to this ideal state where both the political will and preferred policy outcomes exist simultaneously without some level of public discomfort are Pollyannas.

These fucking dorks don’t understand poker let alone are they able to competently articulate a set of conditions under which they think Republicans would plausibly capitulate. But I repeat myself.

Interestingly enough there’s a certain retired 4*’s kid who after his military service has made some serious bones in the public sector law and judicial circuit and is an AUSA in a prominent district and I wonder what he’s thinking on his way to the bench or wherever he’s aiming for.

There’s some retired 1SG who posted this deranged screed about how whatever he thinks is wrong with the DOD is a microcosm of what’s wrong with the country and that the issue is good vs. evil and until we acknowledge that we’ll never defeat the JAG officers and PAO.

The fact that senior NATSEC officials, whoever they are, feel compelled to address the Laura Looker types says a lot in and of itself.

"I even gave my life to Christ in a Cracker Barrel parking lot" is an Action Bronson line

Vonnegut who wrote one of the best anti war novels in history also recognized the futility in it by relaying a quote from a war buddy of his, paraphrasing, he was also asked why couldn’t he also write an anti glacier novel.

Moral clarity.

How many billions starve to death before we get where you’d like to get?

I go to the bad place sometimes with a burner account to see what’s going on and most of my suggested feed is this deranged army field grade who seems to think he’s some amalgamation of Marcus Aurelius and Dan Bongino. It’s really weird.

Watching Joe Rogan tacitly wake up to the idea that due process exists for a reason, and it isn’t some woke, pro forma nonsense, is like watching a toddler realize his pants have pockets.

People decide to contribute to the public good when they realize free riding is no longer an option? 🤯

Has it ever occurred to this guy that there’s an entire class of people who were also annoyed by the “woke stuff” but self actualized enough to mostly ignore it? But go on King, tape up space in the Atlantic for your diaper filling tantrums.

The funny thing about TCW is that he cloaks his arguments in a thin veneer of “intellectual inquiry” and then shrieks like a toddler whenever their vacuousness is laid bare. @jamellebouie.net

There is a difference between intelligence and wisdom.
