Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

There is absolutely no reason for prediction markets to exist. None.

Academia relies on good faith. It cannot be done otherwise. This is precisely why plagiarists, people who fake data, people who deliberately ignore counter-evidence, and fascists need to be driven out. Full cordon sanitaire against this crap.

We haven’t even begun to understand the Pandora’s Box that this war has opened. @cfr.org www.cfr.org/articles/aft...

just to emphasize again, closing Malacca means 'taking a couple of extra days on a trip.' the economist had a great recent graph on various straits and their relative levels of direness.

Fascinating insight into the intersectionality of partisanship and gender…. #cucks

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Thursday.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

I'm happy to announce something I have been so, so eager to share for a long time: "Leo Woodall has been cast as Halvard in ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM’". It will be a tall order for Leo, but I believe he might just have it in him to bring the complexity of Halvard to the big screen.

Should be part of his next test.

The earliest one listed is "Pius XII and the Holocaust." Mind you, for a thousand years, Popes were actual political rulers, and for much of that time they were involved in the selection or deposing of some of the most powerful crowned heads of Europe. Then for sixty years...

"We want Greenland"

Logistics is the Mommy function in the armed forces, and that's why the bulk of the NatSec community ignores it, because Logistics imposes rules and limits.

I feel like someone with far more moral authority than me needs to say this, over and over: Trump entrusted the fate of the country, the world economy, and thousands of service members, to his wildly conflicted son-in-law and developer buddy, who reportedly didn't know fuckall that they were hearing

this is truly an abomination. I guess they were not satisfied with how thoroughly they have been betraying the lessons of the Holocaust.

President Zelenskyy has revealed that russian satellites imaged key US/UK and allied bases in the Middle East from March 24-26 2026, including Diego Garcia, Prince Sultan Air Base, and Al Udeid, with the aim of aiding Iranian strikes.

People should be thinking about this war as downstream of all the generals and admirals fired shortly after the inauguration. Anyone who would be likely to identify risks has either already been fired or got the message.

This is a triple mashup I can get behind!

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "'Westphalia' (and 'Westphalian') is shorthand, not empirical description!" And, while we are at it: "Your view of [Thucydides, Sun-Tzu, Clausewitz etc.] is not exactly the specialist' view"

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

The Trump WH is starting to reap what it has sown in terms of screwing over counterparties: -Iran can't trust a negotiated settlement so why reach one? -Ds in Congress can't trust Trump to follow the law so why bargain w/him? -Universities see past deals leading to future shakedowns so why make one?

I mean, it is almost as if a well-trained and professional diplomacy is actually, potentially....quite useful?

YESSSSS!

Yep

Life under the Clicktatorship: the FBI Director is off watching hockey at the Olympics, and the administration is trying to send hospital boats to a country with universal health care even as they are gutting health coverage. Great content, owning the libs etc.

This should be of interest to many of the Historical IR crowd!

THIS is the content I need in 2026!

George Washington (1732–1799) was an American military leader and statesman who commanded the Continental Army, presided over the Constitutional Convention, and became the first U.S. president. Revered as the “Father of His Country,” he shaped the nation’s early identity and institutions

William Howard Taft was the 27th U.S. president and later the 10th chief justice, the only American to hold both roles. Born in 1857, he rose through judicial and administrative posts, shaping law and government with steady, pragmatic leadership.

In the play "Oslo", about the peace process of the same name (and do check the financing of at least one production of that play), the character Mona Juul states: "In Norway we take nepotism to an entirely new level". Oh, the irony!

I couldn’t agree: more Økokrim needs to investigate Rød Larsen and Juul.

Apropos Børge Brende:

This is really what I want people to appreciate. I get that it feels good to be like "well that person's a pedophile too!" But in many cases they weren't. They were just people who didn't think it was a big deal. That's terrible in its own particular way.

I think that @seva.bsky.social has something here.

Trump's gratuitous smear of Danish soldiers who fell in service to America have the entire nation in a state of outrage, continuing now for many days. American media ignore this.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000
