Okay, after we all get done laughing, can we all take a moment to reflect on how bad OPSEC this is from Secretary “Clean on OPSEC”? You’re not supposed to name it anything that reflects what the operation actually is doing. Or do we not read “The Art of Naming Operations” at War College anymore?

🎤 Nothing can stop me I’m all the way up

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

Mamdani is going to implement SHA-3 law, requiring 2^511.5 time and 2^508 memory for the public to analyze.

To be clear, when I suggest that people sign up to be election pollworkers, I'm not trying to be flippant. I'm dead serious. It's a vital civic service where you help your neighbors vote. And you learn an absolute *ton* about how elections actually work, as well as meet the officials who run them.

Once again, the soccer gods have spoken. Don’t stutter step.

America is healing.

Dem message for next year’s midterms

"Dearest Martha, the Union men are carrying out the most heinous of crimes against our lines, sandwiches exploding against our defenses, mustard and onions oozing into the ground…"

That wasn’t a doink, that was a THUNK

A pepper ball is traveling 300-350 feet per second, or about 240 mph. It covers the advertised effective range in under 0.2 seconds, well below human reaction time. One doesn’t “stray into a pepper ball”. Take some responsibility for your actions, coward.

A lot of people are rightly pointing out that this coward has wet himself. I want to point out that the way he is using that less than lethal riot control device is highly likely to make it lethal. You’re supposed to skip it off the ground, not shoot it point blank at the face. Untrained amateur.

Always fun when you’re absent mindedly reading a paper and all of a sudden you’re like wait, I know that author from my Bluesky follow list! @taliaringer.bsky.social #Baldur

Old Soviet joke: Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three? One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

A family member in Portland Oregon died unexpectedly and left behind a 2 year old husky who is currently on a 5 day hold in a shelter while I try to figure out a way to get her to me here in Portland Maine so that I can adopt her...without it costing All the Money. Anyone have any ideas?

So they're trying to farm a highlights reel of "libs/lefties are violent and evil terrorists" episode. They're trying to piss people off so they can farm screenshots of anything that can even loosely be interpreted as a threat.

Think of this like a TV show. Right now they don't want this to be another "Everything is fucked from Tariffs" episode or "Illegally Invading Cities" episode or "where the fuck are the Epstein Files" episode or "if you control the house and Senate why is the government shut down?" episode.

Low maintenance, fast growth? Sounds like you want an unbalanced binary tree </professor joke>

Way to double down like a degenerate loser. If the entire force could watch a video link and document it, you’re just admitting you wanted the generals and admirals there as a backdrop of imprimatur. www.npr.org/2025/10/15/n...

Happy Columbo’s Day

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Air Force having one of the worst pass defenses in college football is honestly troubling from a national security perspective

The tank's role is to draw aggro

Hey everyone, I found the guy who isn’t working but is still getting free healthcare from the taxpayers!

When Stephen Miller hijacks the Major League Baseball social media account

If I were a Democratic-voting member of the same wardroom as this ensign or JG, I would be seriously questioning my “ship-shipmate-self” priorities right now. And that’s why for as long as we’ve had an officer corps we had a rule demanding explicit nonpartisanship.

Imagine sending an airborne division after this guy

Do you have a tech policy event in either the LA or DC area before mid-December that you want me to tell a bunch of students getting graduate degrees in tech policy about? I’m TAing a class requiring people to go to at least one outside event and working on a list of suggestions.

It’s both depressing and darkly hilarious how Lawfare posting has gone from “we got him on an Article 33, Clause 8, Subsection Alpha infraction, baby cannon time!” to *slams whisky bottle down* “the law is fake and I challenge John Roberts to a fistfight at the Walmart parking lot.”

“Lifeguard” whistle not “dog” whistle, will run on pool deck if dog want. #ungovernable

A blessed Scorigami to those who observe.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Death be not proud. Or dignified.

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

ah, well

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

A cool thing about tonight’s matchup is that it features two teams who have built great rosters despite stringent rules: One w/ smart signings, in league acquisitions, investment in academy/player development The other talked Apple into letting them do whatever they want and paying for most of it

who would be the funniest journalist to break the news

Takes a child to raze a village.

„Ihre Papiere, bitte … Dies ist vor drei Wochen abgelaufen“

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
