Fun fact about the locked cases: it was a policy put in place because the top brass at Target made a ton of mistakes that hurt revenue, & they had to find something to blame. It was always bullshit

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

That's Larry, of the 3 stooges

Anthropic's defiance of the Pentagon's A.I. orders was undeniably brave, a welcome contrast with Big Tech's general approach to the Trump admin. but the resistance folks shooting Claude to the top of the app charts need to understand that Anthropic is not very principled, and is not your friend:

They're calling her the goat, the greatest to ever do it, the genius of the 21st century, the most vindicated bitch who ever lived, her haters in shambles her doubters in tears she's loosed the faithful lightning of her terrible swift sword, HER TRUTH IS MARCHING ON MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

what kind of asshole would write something like th—ah, ok, i see

We really need to put a bunch of people in jail once this is over I often hear in response to that statement, "that will never happen. No one faces consequences in the US". And to that I say, "the only guaranteed way that it never happens is if we all give up on the idea in advance"

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

This is what the weather off the coast of England once said

A civil war in a country of almost 100 million people—WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!?!?

Fusion is often terrible. This isn't. The fusion of Egyptian & Mexican cuisine, like we see here, could not be more perfect

Making up a guy to get mad about: pathetic, & the kind of post that makes you the main character on this website Making up an absurd guy, & making fun of the absurdity: cornerstone of high quality posting

I think it says a lot that these morons think it's not possible to offer young men anything more than crypto, & gambling.

The elite moral panic over the existence of trans people is as fascinating as it is enraging. The owners &/or editors of outlets like NYT & The Atlantic have a clear axe to grind, & if someone could find out what these assholes are saying to each other at dinner parties, I think we'd discover a lot

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

No...Trump is not going to war with Iran to distract from Epstein. That's just a happy coincidence from their perspective. They're going to war with Iran because this is what the hawks in his administration want to do

“who was the president in 2020” continues to be the most baffling political question of our time.

This is why eating the sun is the worst thing you can do when you're on a diet

*voiceover* [that was not the worst case scenario]

Funniest part of the Iran War is how this is a war that the Saudis wanted, & we're just completely fucking them over right now.

Every once in a while, he'll double down in a way that amazes me. I keep thinking "this is rock bottom" & it never is

one of my worries going in was he was just going to coast on the biden economy and just skate on all the other shit. but in retrospect, like worrying he'd do a good job with covid and get a rally round the flag moment. just impossible

If this administration had not done tariffs, not made a giant spectacle in their ICE occupation of Minnesota, & not invaded Iran, they would have probably been able to pull off their other ghoulish policies & remained moderately popular

Someone who writes stuff for a living should write a piece on this distinction, because I think it's pretty obviously true if you break it down

They keep meeting in person, & that's not very smart of them. Also, these guys, who are making incredibly basic mistakes like this, have done infinitely more planning for the US attacking Iran than Trump & his team have.

The best explanation for how this administration makes decisions is they just act on the impulses of the dumbest MAGA ideologues out there (many of whom are in cabinet positions). "Flooding the zone" is the outcome of this more than it is the goal of a coherent strategy

US decision makers right now

Do you think US military brass is yelling at the officers & NCOs responsible for the logistics of defensive munitions like they're the dumbass friend who left the concert tickets at home?

Because money

Got my Adderall. I will have a functioning brain again in one hour

people have been lied to about this. the GOP, the NYT, and sundry centrists have spread this bullshit story where kids are being bum rushed into surgery by a shadowy conspiracy of endocrinologists and gender ideologues

The more my posts oscillate between irony & anger, the worse the world is doing...or the Timberwolves are losing in an incredibly stupid way...or both

Guys, I don't think this war was a good idea in principle, & it's an even worse idea with these clowns orchestrating it

I'll tell you what - if I read some news about 3 F-150s falling out of the sky, I wouldn't dismiss it immediately. It's that kind of world now

Waiting for my adhd medication to be filled, & I just misread "F-15" as "F-150". This is why I need my god damn ADHD medication

War in Iran isn't even going as badly as it could be going. That's how much of a colossal fuck up this was

Dow down 1100 Nasdaq down 500

Then maybe the geographic scope of the WC should be narrowed. Canada and Mexico still have plenty of venues.

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2072...

New from 404 Media: CBP tapped into the online advertising ecosystem to track peoples' movements, according to an internal DHS document. Shows for the first time DHS tracked phones via process for putting ads in ordinary apps—video games, fitness apps, many more www.404media.co/cbp-tapped-i...

It’s going to cost Ohioans $450,000 per job to create a $100,000 job. Their governor is a degenerate.

“Employees in Kenya doing AI "annotation" told the journalists that they've seen people nude, using the toilet and engaging in sexual activity, along with credit card numbers and other sensitive information.”

Would just remind folks that a GSA employee named Jeff Neely went to federal prison for throwing lavish parties during a 2010 government conference, then claiming it was all business. He was sentenced to 90 days. You can absolutely imprison dipshits for flamboyantly wasting taxpayer dollars.

Going back to feudalism, everywhere you look

It's not that I had fond feelings about Neera Tanden before but I think her retweeting Nick Fuentes is pretty good evidence that twitter is a gamma radiation field for your brain

"Down with Pavlov, comrades! We shall wear own own bell in defiance of his capitalist attempt to condition us"

OF COURSE Iran is fighting back! OF COURSE the conflict is spreading! What did they think would happen? The US is being run by half-wits…

No one could've foreseen this.

I like how he has a little bell around his neck
