A question prompted by my family (and a case of modelo). Now that the QAnon stuff has mostly died off* who do we think is the funniest possible person for Q to have been? My pick is Kissinger. *pay no attention to the actual cabal of politically powerful child molesters in the White House now...

Seasons wishes #NukeSky

HAPPY CHINA MILITARY POWER REPORT DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE kind of them to drop it when we're all with our families for the holidays, so we can show them a brief flash of Why Aren't You Fun At Parties Anymore media.defense.gov/2025/Dec/23/...

A brutish but simple corrective: Expel students involved in organized harassment campaigns against other students and university staff. If the harassment is substantially tied to a student org, ban or proscribe the org, and consider expelling its officers. Withhold transcripts of expelled students.

this is a bull market for people who think he's dying lol

giled posts heaters about warship design and tradeoffs, go read

You really don't hate a certain kind of Russia Understander enough - here is a widely respected commentator on Russian strategic & nuclear matters claiming the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe treaty (in wch Russia suspended its participation in 2007) would have prevented the invasion of Ukraine.

Ellie's right. Look at history. Liberalism is the winningest political story there is. Liberty, equality & fraternity have lit more fires in the hearts of men & women than tyranny ever could. We won the last century, we will win the next and we will win today. All you have to do is spread the word.

You heard it here first. Nicolas Maduro sank the USS Maine.

The monkey's paw curls, but damn it to hell where is Roy Cohn when you need him??

I wish a very True Detective S1E6 21:40 Christmas to all involved in the making of this seditious, anti-American, Nuremberg garbage.

Yeah man I work with a fair few MAGA dudes unfortunately, and while they make fun of the Europeans and they aren't really pro Ukraine, there are facts you basically can't learn without coming to hate Russia pretty deeply.

This is probably the most normal EO/policy pronouncement this admin has made all year or will likely ever make.

sometimes the homie drops a monster PDF into the sharepoint that leaves you walking out of the vault like this If your third eye stays fully open for more than four hours, do you seek medical attention?

people crying over chomsky on this website are repulsive frankly. he was quite plainly a piece of shit long before anything related to epstein came out

Of course, under Currently Existing Conditions there's the stray chance that said FBI agent is there for personal rather than professional reasons.

CodePink AND Chomsky finally getting their recognition as idiot far right sympathetics in one week? The Christmas season is truly a time of miracles

As a longtime Chomsky hater, this is how it feels

eagerly awaiting the schism in the nu-GOP between the drug abusing swingers, the outright adulterers, and the race-obsessed cuckoldry fantasizers (also known as the National Security Council, sans Rubio)

The War on Woke has taken too much from us. Can't even say MX anymore.

Get in, Jamelle. We're drowning Soviet motor rifle battalions in enhanced radiation yield.

The last full measure of devotion for a country that wasn't even sure it wanted them here. We should all be so lucky to have such courage in our convictions.

Said it before and I'll say it again, Texas is the number one laboratory of fascism in the US right now. The TX GOP should be brutalized by a 2029 Reconstruction admin - for its massive and open corruption, for its numerous criminal civil rights offenses, and frankly whatever else will stick.

That cult would never die till the stars came right again. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy.

I know few, if any, people work for Republicans on this website. But I urge those who have some GOP connections to ask their higher-ups how this would look if it were the Chinese saying this in response to war crimes against U.S. and allied forces in the Taiwan Strait.

Nothing constructive to say about the worst National Security Strategy in this great nation's history. What is there to comment on? It reads like a 10th grader wrote it, it gargles Trump's balls for 5 or 6 pages, and it might as well come out and say the 14 words in some sections. What a disgrace.

Miller obviously fantasizes about himself as Goebbels, clearly practices speeches in the mirror where he gets to order the end of democracy and the roundup of minorities. He’s a warped bigot who is totally unfit to exist in society, much less run the government. Get rid of him, end the crisis.

This goes crazy hard tbh

Friends, do not argue about politics today. But if you must, argue with the in-laws about test yield thresholds and the relative merits of a "zero yield" criterion. Not college football or Congress.

this is really the trick for how to handle your multitudes

In principle I appreciate diverse perspectives in the history of (nuclear) science & society. In practice, when it's as condescending as this, I find myself appreciating the would-be subjects of British imperial anthropology who drove their interlocutors off with spears and Martini-Henry rifles.

Reposting for visibility/to improve the spread of Discourse on natsec bluesky. I don't have a huge dog in the fight, but I like seeing people talk about what they know.

The Missileer Mujahedeen send their regards.

He rots in place, not quite dead but not really alive. Surrounded by bloodthirsty, superstitious fools who rule over the ruins of a civilization so great they can't begin to comprehend what made it so great. And when he finally dies, the whole thing goes down in flames. The right still can't meme.

Turn your key, Charlie Brown.

Different targets, different methods. If you are running active measures on left-of-center power centers (and they all are, adversaries and some 'friends' alike), your most fruitful vectors continue to be academia, NGOs and journalists. Same as in the Cold War.

Every now and then people forget that Calla is (a) an actual, convicted domestic terrorist and (b) open about being a paid propagandist for the PRC. No post of hers has much capacity to shock if you keep these two facts in mind.

"This couldn't possibly fool anyone could it" and then it's Ryan Grim. Every time it's Ryan Grim.

Todd Harrison is by resume at least no fool, but this is a very foolish idea, perhaps explained by the fact that in Mr. Harrison's long career he has never worked nuclear matters. This idea does not survive first contact with the facts of that domain. A very rare work related thread.

The first candidate to run on sending Greg Bovino to Guantanamo Bay for his countless crimes against the American people and our Constitution has my vote.

These two books hold the answers to most, if not all, important spiritual and social problems in this world.

I don't know if publicly fucking up your spent fuel decay math, then ugly crashing out on twitter, is as bad as kinslaying. But I do know that if you're going to steal a Tolkien name for a startup that hubristically bottles the universe's ancient fire you have to go all the way and name it Fëanor.

I personally know scientists who have made invaluable, we-gave-you-a-secret-award-because-this-was-so-important, contributions to the most vital areas of defense technology who would still be funding banned under this. This is a stricter standard than we apply to any defense workers, too.

Nice job senate republicans you fucking clowns

If John Cena or Spider Man shows up to one of these it's really over

There is an utter failure on this site to understand how things fit together. Let me spell it out slowly: If you have been posting for 10 months about power politics and how Trump and Vought want to politicize the civil service, you should not want to turn the existing civil service against us.

Senator Schumer, it is necessary now to make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless distinguishable, post-lapse in appropriations environments: one where you got ten million people killed, and the other where you got a hundred and fifty million people killed!

I don't really know if this deal is terrible but it certainly falls short of what people were hoping for. Failure seems to have been that Senate Dems started this fight without a clear theory of victory. "Senate Rs will give up and give us something" is not a theory of victory.

I think getting paid to work again would be pretty nifty, idk
