Type of thing you say when the mindworm boils start popping up because of all the boreholes Yang is building

Ukrainian FPV carrier USVs, but 100 times the cost, to use against random Venezuelan civilians or get blown up like fish in a barrel by the PLAAF

Abundance, the political philosophy for people who think "we should just make everyone rich" is some kind of earth shattering new thing no one's tried

"Losing face" has got to be one of the stupidest terms in the English language. "In Asian cultures, being humiliated is considered humiliating"

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

So much this admin and Republicans are doing is trying to "solve" 2020 and it gets more apparent every single day.

I think that we have to assume that military acronyms are Turing Complete.

There is a specific type of Guy who got weird idiosyncratic libertarian politics from Occupy Wall Street, and if you look for the right keywords you can sniff those people out like a bloodhound.

the sheer level of obsession about this and how long the scandal has lasted in Trump Years (TM) is really making me feel that its not even Epstein-related. Like, they have proof he somehow was around back then and was the one who ratted out Jesus

reminded of a guy who was able to somehow OSINT "magnetic anomalies" detecting random newsworthy missile attacks in Ukraine exclusively after they happened

dudes R O C K

entirely synthetic digital videos you watch on Tiktok about "life was better before screens", you can't make this shit up

a lot of these guys really envision a future where technology relieves us of the burden of human experience

the age of the jumbo narrow-body finally arrives in the 90s

sentences that are constantly playing on loop in my head:

I've thought about this for a minute, and I think the core of it is that there's a colloquial definition of 'war' that has to involve *some* kind of existential stakes for at least one country involved.

what do you mean Cambodia just randomly started a war with Thailand

One of the weirdest things about being a car enthusiast these days is you’ll see a crossover you’ve never heard of called the Volkswagen Tazmagoo or something, and then look it up when you get home to find out it’s outsold the Golf by a factor of 300 for the past five years.

as someone who loves cars this country makes me want to hate cars.

I dunno if it says more about me or superhero movies that almost every contender I can think of is some form of recent superhero movie.

right now we have a four(?)-way right-wing civil war between Trump/MAGA/Miller, Elon/DOGE/Silicon Valley, Murdoch/old money, and QAnon uncles, you cannot argue with those results, pushing the Glonzo button seems pretty effective

It's honestly crazy that Westwood remade Dune 2 once (Dune 2000) and then immediately turned around and basically remade it again (Emperor: Battle For Dune) the next year

Luigi Mangione made a lot of people *feel like* some *other* people were going to start a grassroots rebellion against health insurance. But no one was, themselves, actually going to do it, they were all just egging it on online.

victory now, that decoupling. A quiescent Europe decoupled is one thing, easily duped by Russia. But nowadays that’s the exact opposite of where Europe is - a partial decoupling has begun - but it’s the worst of all worlds for Moscow. Putin’s strategic plan, his entire strategic view, was based on

What is with this fucking account and the red circles

Deciding "sheeeeeesh" is a fine thing to say tells me that y'all haven't been rawdogged by your neurodivergent boyfriends and it SHOWS.

Look I can call Musk's business empire a "House of Cards" all I want and it's essentially meaningless but it is really incredible that he himself described it as such years ago and now the house is a damn skyscraper www.wsj.com/articles/elo...

Relatedly, I think "OpenTTD but you're designing supply lines for an army on some big map, and have to indulge the AI commander's whims" would be genuinely amazing as a game

damn Beyond All Reason really hits in 1v1s, you get to just vibe out and send a large pile of robots at the other guy when you don't have 7 other teammates bitching in your ear

A SIGTERM is issued by the operating system; my process effortlessly dodge rolls it, then immediately executes a perfect parry against the MMU. Before it can recover, a null pointer has been loaded into EBX. The kernel groans at my shit.

we need to bring back soldiers going "HUT HUT HUT" when they march in to some place. whatever happened to that

🌕 in lieu of finding targets readily, these group and their ideological allies will eventually begin conjuring them, as an army implies the existence of another to fight. remember that the US is being invaded! but by who? the death drive churns on, whether the cart is before the horse or not.

Every Ukrainian I talk to says something similar. They despair at being forgotten about. It's really important to let them know that despite our vile government, we still care. That they're not alone.

Shout out to the archivists at Publications Canada, who are extremely good at their jobs and just straight up put detailed economic reports from 1935 in high-quality PDF form out there for free publications.gc.ca/collections/...

This is what Art Bell's show used to be for

Urgent request from my friends up in Sumy right now. Come on Bluesky community, we can do this! If you can’t help, just get it around for me, please! This is right where russia’s newest offensive is happening. Use my link and please leave a message on the “Donor Wall” for the soldiers. It means the
