Sports gambling should be legal but you should have to go to an actual building to do it and it should be so off-putting and sad you’ll never want to do it again

the A-10 obsession is a cargo cult of the P-47 Thunderbolt in this essay I will

Scott Bessent got called away to the Situation Room mid-interview. When he got back, he was asked what was happening. Bessent said Trump was in "great spirits." He then randomly volunteered that he had a teen "considering military service" and would trust his child's life with Trump and Hegseth.

congratulations to FIFA on their incredible choice of recipient for the first FIFA peace prize

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

All this barbarity was unleashed during Ramadan. That was a choice.

Based based based. Modern problems call for market solutions

I think Pete Hegseth just found his new war planner

I spent 45 minutes trying and failing to convince a full bird Colonel with multiple Afghanistan and Iraq deployments that Afghanistan is not an Arabic speaking country. I was helped in this discussion (to no avail) by two Afghan interpreters who were more polite than I was.

this doesn't hurt kobe's legacy. he's still one of the 10 best shooting guards in lakers history

They heard INDOPACOM saying the PLAN was the enemy and they decided the plan was the enemy

CENTCOM is a fundamentally unserious command for a fundamentally unserious country

Trump: we're gonna kill you all. we're gonna regime change you. we want nothing less than unconditional surrender Mojtaba: guess we're going down together then trump: [surprised pikachu.jpg]

BREAKING: Leaked Pentagon documents reveal highly classified CENTCOM war plans

The Navy has neglected MCM for a lot longer than 40 years. This is what comes of the Marine Corps never shutting up about the Incheon landing but refusing to talk about the Wonsan landing.

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’ ‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’ ‘Hello’ is not related to either. Goodbye.

at some point we are going to have to decide whether we want low taxes, or robust public services free at point of service and a strong social safety net. subtracting revenue from one side and adding costs to the other ain’t gonna math.

anyone who has been on social media for the last 15 years has ptsd for this exact thing when the charts start to buck and the smart weirdos start to flail and vaguely gesture like this

The quote skeets and replies are blaming Republicans for the lack of literacy and I must once again tap my sign that the Democrats and Democrat-leaning institutions were primarily the ones responsible for nonsense whole language reading instruction curriculum like three-cueing.

If Catholic cardinals can get the point of "Holy fuck they're leveling the country because they're getting video game-style kicks from this" why are Academics of Fascism not

i think that if the us government steps on your project for being too awesome they should be required to buy it. imagine if nuclear reactor design were as well resourced as minecraft mods

So no one understands what a credit bureau is

“It would be really bad if this continued so it will not” is an interesting perspective shared by many people who are no longer with us

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Sam Thorne

A spiral galaxy in a merger, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the COSMOS survey. It is at redshift 0.74 (lookback time 6.73 billion years) with coordinates (150.50327, 2.84221). 50 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo: Hubble.

I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed

temperature check: i asked a friend of mine in the oil industry what she (GASP A GIRL? IN OIL??) thinks the market is gonna look like by the end of the month and she just sent me this in response with no other text. [I have no idea if she is serious]

Its become pretty clear that troop accountability somewhere along the chain got completely fucked and there’s been multiple DUSTWUNs. I’m not sure if it’s on the ground or someone at DoD not wanting to report out WIA/KIA properly, but what the fuck.

Unironically love my opposing counsel, who called me back after a meet and confer today because he forgot to ask how my family in Israel is doing (which reminded me to ask about his extended family in Iran). He's wrong about EVERYTHING substantive, of course, but just a good human being

Hey this is like the most serious oil guy i know and this is worse than i expected

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it). the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

what did you all think degrowth looked like? vibes? papers? Essays?

I do not understand how we retconned GWOT as woke and have determined George W. Bush was a purple haired trans lesbian socialist who made the troops wear pronoun pins.

disturbing reports that donald trumps economic policy is exactly as bad as anyone who knows anything said it would be

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Napoleon low key the funniest guy in European history because he was like “what if I promoted officers based on how good they were at army and recruited troops who actually liked my country“ and it was basically the same as unleashing Godzilla.

it's a real achievement to develop a policy that so many macroeconomists could agree on

literally just the most toxic major you've ever seen as s/def

Conference championship week means more institutional and university ads. The West Georgia ad has a guy preparing to house a mountain of fried chicken and I immediately regret all my college choices. @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @dreyesceron.bsky.social

Reminds me of my second deployment to Afghanistan where they kept firing Majors but had to keep them there so they made up some sort of "observer attaché" type role to pretend they were still doing work.

Markwayne Mullin is a very stupid man’s man.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

this move will simultaneously increase the average intelligence of the Trump cabinet and the U.S. senate
