New year, new marines? Time will tell! Enjoy some of my old marines in the meantime

Am I a bad person for laughing at this?

Trump is trying to force US oil companies to rebuild Venezuelan oil fields that are too expensive to invest in at current crude prices while a full blown energy revolution is happening with cheap solar and electrification growing exponentially. This is a dying empire shit.

❗️Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were taken to the Drug Enforcement Administration headquarters on 10th Avenue in New York City.

BREAKING: Trump has sent a warning to the governments of Mexico, Cuba and Colombia that their countries could be next, per Axios.

lmfao

one reason people are already talking themselves into dumb conspiracies about why this is happening is because the actual reality is extremely hard to wrap your brain around

I think Maduro heard they were coming for him and placed the bets himself www.axios.com/2026/01/03/m...

I was wondering how this might all turn out to have been my fault

Wait a minute, if I’m reading this correctly, the US didn’t do regime change in Venezuela, but instead, we helped the army-connected VP stage a coup???

now this is posting

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Plot development: Contrary to the impression Trump gave, the VP of Venezuela strikes a defiant tone, says they will not become a vassal state, pledges to defend the country, demands Maduro's release, says he is the legitimate head of the country. 🧵

An 80 year old pervert going on TV to slur monotonously about the illegal invasion he just did. The logical endpoint of our political development over the last 50 years

Well, it was either all this or another black person in a Star Wars movie

I’ll never forget the hardest “I lived bitch.” Of all time.

BREAKING: the french government has announced the discovery of a new extremely potent source of energy. "the spinning skeleton of late baudrillard will act as a green engine in transforming europe's carbon-dependent economy".

More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”

lmfao

I hate when I have to hand it to Emmanuel Macron, and now I am going to hand it to Emmanuel Macron,

There's not going to be an explanation for this that is a) internally consistent b) externally valid c) comprehensible to anybody who isn't cognitively impaired.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Lol

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

It would be a very good time for Bolsonaro to have a "decisive" surgical complication. The administration absolutely thinks they have a "just kidnap them and win" button, and it's safer to just not present them with a puppet with name recognition

❗️The consequences of the airstrike on the container yard in the port of La Guaira north of 🇻🇪Caracas.

❗️The 🇺🇸United States struck the 4F barracks, which house a museum and the mausoleum of Hugo Chávez.

Attack helicopter providing very close direct fire support. Based on the rocket pods and minigun fire this is likely an MH-60L DAP or AH-6, both of which are used by the 160th SOAR

wow, what kind of vested interest could Matt Taibbi have had in Cuomo winning? now to take a big swig of vodka and read his book about his time in Moscow.

any democrat who hedges on this should be screamed at until they quit tbh and if they don't, they should lose their next primary

🇻🇪🇺🇸American forces have launched air strikes as well as a ground operation in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas.

The BBC has verified this video out of Venezuela.

❗️The movement of armored vehicles has been recorded near the presidential palace in 🇻🇪Venezuela.

I have zero sympathy for anyone executing plainly illegal orders

MONDAY. SPITE AS FUEL.

We need to bring back shame and aim a fire hose of it at anyone still using X.

“And to take us through the implications of this new trade deal with Sri Lanka, here’s a guy we found struggling to work the self-service tills in Whole Foods.”

AI CEOs: why aren't people more pro-AI?! also AI CEOs: we have invented the automated revenge porn machine

Sorry ale tylko idiota może być zdruzgotany obecnym stanem twittera, domagać się zmian, jednocześnie korzystać z tej platformy. Kurwa ludzie dorośnijcie.

the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad
