And who can begrudge a few wizards their right to engage in a simple legal enterprise?

Exactly what the framers of the Constitution intended—that the power to impose taxes be left to whims of one man.

Here at the department of WAR we’re focused on LETHALITY and the WARRIOR ETHOS which is why we’re ignoring a conventional attack on a NATO member so we can drone strike boats in the Caribbean.

"Washington, D.C. is currently under federal occupation, and there are only a limited number of ways in which the city government can fight back. Clarifying that citizens of D.C. can lawfully write on their sidewalks...is matter it can address," writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org.

I have come into possession of an incredible video. Thank you for your attention to this matter

A key danger here is that writing is a crucial tool for *thinking*, and I believe that a LLM-addicted society in which a lot of people’s ability to do that is degraded is in trouble, in a way that cuts deeper in a lot more diverse and worrisome ways than “dependence on GPS or calculators.”

The WSJ after seeing Trump threaten Jerome Powell:

This old tweet of mine seems relevant atm

One of my proudest achievements is that this is the first review that comes up on that restaurant’s yelp

Like gravity

I know people are up in arms about “platforming” these “people” and I absolutely see where those folks are coming from, but I also think stuff like this can be a useful thing to show normies who aren’t as chronically online and in the weeds as we all are and who may not know it’s gotten this bad.

New theory, B-2 strike was exclusive designed to make up for signalgate and prove that he’s a big boy who knows opsec

Seems important to note that no one is saying that the pilots didn’t perform well — the W A R F I G H T E R S seemed to tactically execute the strike very well. The question is whether it had any actual operational or strategic effect — which is about Tampa and the Pentagon, not the pilots.

“BDA is woke” was a joke 24 hours ago.

Every time someone responds to an obviously normative-aspirational claim ("this not who we are", "this is not America", etc) with some I'm-very-radical descriptive rebuttal ("er actually America has always done <similar bad stuff>") an angel dies. Like, no joke, dead. Direct causal result of this.
