Anyone have suggestions for a preferably fabric or similar watch case/roll to hold 2-4 watches? Doesn’t need to be too fancy or wind automatic watches or anything crazy like that.

Posting this more for personal history than anything else. This is one of the few photos from my OEF 12-13 deployment I can still find despite carrying a small point and shoot almost everywhere. Logar Province, Afghanistan Lumix Point and Shoot Summer 2012

On the "don't know how anything works" scale, believing that U.S. bases in Germany are more of a favor to the Germans than a method of American power projection isn't at the very top, but it's up there.

The Soviet Union won the war because lend lease is imperialist or something I don’t know.

Bro where’s the run production

For context, If my poor math is correct that‘s approximately 35 billion Costco rotisserie chickens.

Imagine going into an FBI data base for buying something from an Etsy shop because right wing media is trying to hallucinate the radical left wing version of an antebellum Republican abolitionist group based into existence lmao

Pronouncing GMLRs as jimlers

This is actually the perfect distillation of the right wing worldview. A predatory industry treats consumers unfairly so it must be immigrants' fault.

Post a random cool car photo you took on another year, with no explanation.

the question of our age is "can a critical mass of the electorate learn from events and stimuli and change their preferences or are we stuck in a thermostatic enshitification ratchet"

. @aoc.bsky.social responds to this trend: "BOOOOO" "This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me, calling it an uninspiring message. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together."

As SCOTUS was dismantling the Voting Rights Act today, I was leading a staff ride at Antietam, the single bloodiest day in American history and the campaign that permitted Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, beginning a century-long path to the VRA All of that feels incredibly fraught

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

If we’re doing truck discourse again can we at least get a different picture?

You cede the point to the GOP that the government isn’t worth funding and give the ultra-wealthy who already don’t pay taxes anyway more ammunition with these types of ideas. We need tax reform so everyone pays their fair share and for tax dollars to work for the average American, not slopulism.

NL West NL best

The millennial craft movement vastly improved American gastronomy and I refuse to let zoomers with no cultural memory of the bland garbage we ate and drank 20 years ago meme me into thinking it is cringe.

Important historical precedent to understand in the event the U.S. invades Iran:

It’s not even Friday afternoon after markets close yet!

honestly the only Millennial / Gen Z dividing point that matters to me is this: do you remember how things were pre-9/11? and, crucially, how everyone lost their minds on and after 9/11? If so, you're a millennial or older.

the basic reality is that this court has already destroyed the united states as a functional republic and none of the reforms necessary to rebuild it will survive the court as it currently exists any democrat not committed to expanding the court is not serious about fixing this country

If this is supposed to be an alliance, is it burden-sharing, or is it asking allies to subsidize U.S. industrial decay?

It's hilarious this guy thought he'd have any chance to do close combat with knives. He's been watching way too many dumb action movies. Apparently he planned to Rambo his way through the Secret Service and then have a Kung Fu fight with Trump or something.

We’re doing it to ourselves.

Wife is already tired of me doing impressions of this

there are valid security concerns to discuss around foreign-made tech, and also, our current environment in the US is absolute poison to discussing those concerns in any kind of reasonable, minimally biased, or well-informed way

sure will be interesting to try to untangle what are valid security concerns and what are minimally-concealed handouts to the genocidal maniac Elon Musk once we manage to kick the MAGA bums out

Unfortunately it’s an absolute tire fire to try and talk about stuff like this with any kind of nuance. That being said I would be much more concerned about this type of thing if we didn’t have a myriad of American companies who’d willingly sell the same data and even access to our adversaries.

It kind of sucks that we’re going to need to use political capital to pass laws to ban acts that were previously understood to be against the unspoken rules of political office because this jabroni decided he wanted his face on everything.

Only good can happen!

Also enjoying seeing 99% fewer homophobic and transphobic slurs. Baseball is for everybody, not just illiterate bullies.

Just now learning about the Vatican’s 2025 Jubilee anime mascot, Luce.

I don’t think the trump thing was faked, I think it’s that thing where that acquaintance always has drama and you’re just like “man I’m not hearing your bullshit today. You sort it out”

I love living in hyperreality.

The Feds can try to end Bluesky as a communication and organizing tool for the political opposition, but they're too late. We've already blocked each other so hard no one has any idea what's going on.

Come for the merch, stay for the creation of a radical leftist organization in the imaginations of people who take Jack P. too seriously.

Another thing they never do… stand up to the men who make it unsafe. It’s always our problem and never theirs

The problem is that the right has been following this same exact rhetorical pattern at least my entire adult life, if not longer. If everything is a code red-Defcon 1-end of the world situation, nothing is.

Yamamoto and Shohei wondering if Roki is tipping his split with his glove position. (H/T: www.reddit.com/r/Dodgers/co...)

they don't want to criticize power, they want to be adjacent to power.

I’m at the combination Comedy Central Roast of Adolf Hitler / Reichstag Fire

I don‘t think this was staged but Donnie hasn’t gone to a single WHCA dinner prior to this year and he immediately pivoted into arguing that this is why the WH needs a ballroom and I’m having doubts now. Everybody’s got a conspiracy theory that they’re suceptible to lmao

White House Press Corps? More like White House Press corpse, amirite?
