I just remember around soleimani when I made some GFMAP driven joke and some fucking dork national guard miltwitter field grade was like “ackshually I am acutely aware of the deliberations behind why the IRF has deployed I have over 75 jumps with Tier One organizations” like okay Uncle Rico

In fourth grade Sister Mary Ann harangued us into saying a Hail Mary anytime we saw an ambulance to the point that it’s probably the only true lifelong habit I’ve had. Similarly, now anytime a helicopter passes over, I find myself hoping it’s hauling a bloated, purple-orange body to Walter Reed.

The year is 2030. I now own a home in every walkable US neighborhood, which I've paid for by selling rubber stamps that say "refused to release the Epstein files"

Meanwhile there’s also…

real mad king stuff

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Our entirely government is somehow structured around the urgent need of exurban car dealer's need to get their carrots wet.

If I was Iran, I’d be saying “We will only negotiate with Obama”

Remember when they had a visit from Elon Musk but canceled the Thayer Award for Tom Fucking Hanks? Don’t tell me the institutional military’s not captured or at least dumb as a fucking rock.

Now that I’m a commander, I want the most insane fucking green laser pointer I can legally purchase. How do I get an IZLID or something?

absolutely incredible. Trump might have done more damage to American imperial power than anyone ... ever?

Previously on the West Wing: Wiles: his poll numbers are tanking, where can we take him to turn the cycle around? Intern: probably best to avoid anywhere well-known for an omnipresent, fabulously tacky, above-the-law, new-money lech preying on teen girls Wiles: say everything after “avoid” again?

Congressional Republicans: We can only win this year's elections if we change the rules

25 March 1936 | A French Jewish boy, Rene Tyk, was born in Paris. On 19 August 1942, he was deported from #Drancy to Auschwitz in a transport of 1,000 people. Murdered in a gas chamber after his arrival on 21 August. --- ▶ Gas chambers and crematoria of Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/-A05i25j9Ck

It’s so beautiful!

It would be this way until the bulk of the kids who should have never been allowed---and then rushed through training--- in the Army exited service. Now, the phone rings about every 3 months as they have begun taking their own lives. These personnel decisions are pad for in blood. End.

We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

Want my child to have a solid understanding of various major story structure forms before she goes to kindy.

Just referred to Bingo as Bluey's deuteragonist.

Anyone else just need a irl hug?

The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

Have we ever heard from any Marine that has first-hand knowledge of serving with JD Vance?

A proposal: Hunt me down and kill me.

Motherfuuuuuuuuu

The more I have to listen to people describe how they use so-called "AI", what they say they neeeeeed "AI" for, and what they say they can't do without "AI," the more I just realize I'm smarter and better than everybody.

Again, Democrats should run on investigating, prosecuting and convicting all this stuff. None of this "look forward to heal the nation" no "avoid the appearance of a partisan revenge spree". People are breaking laws and the next government needs to send a message that will be remembered.

I have invented a new concept, "Value Over AI Boyfriend," to evaluate men in relationships.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

No one actually thinks Robert E. Lee is a master tactician / strategist - they’re not studying Antietam - they love him because he was a brutal traitor who killed Americans & enslaved free men & women during his Pennsylvania invasion. They also like the command responsibility for Ft. Pillow/Crater.

justice alito talmbout it "seriously undermines" voter confidence when a "big stash" of mail ballots arrives and changes the "apparent outcome" sir do you mean when all the votes are counted? bc it sounds like you're just describing when all the votes are counted

MOIST LOUAYYYYYYY!!!

Has anyone ever done a unit change of command via FM transmission? Like, all your units are in the field and you just narrate it and give quick speeches over the air? I’ve heard dudes give their final net call during like CTC rotations but an over-the-air change of command might be onto something…

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight. As a Cuban, I'm devastated.

Those wondering how much inflation or how many dead troops it’ll take to fracture the GOP enough to do something about Trump aren’t understanding: that only works if they’re worried about losing power. As long as the fix is in, they have no need to stake out safer positions or act on principle.

"Guy operating under chronic munitions constraints shocked to find forces not operating under those constraints utilizing a shoot-shoot-shoot-maybe look-shoot some more-shoot doctrine"

This is the way.

My father taught me the mark of a Man was discipline and self-regulation, plus care and protection of others.

I fought it for a long time. I have friends, good friends, standing just outside of frame, who were in my groupchat who know how hard I fought this framing but I'm broken, I've lost. Vibe-cessions won Sky, the Vibe-cession WON

Why is Donald Trump laying on what appears to be a little girl’s bed, with strawberry shortcake sheets, wearing a robe?

Comparing the Democrats to a country he’s bombing. This is authoritarian demagoguery. If a Republican doesn’t denounce this, s/he is enabling it.

Another toxic site was cleaned to a healthy state for agriculture by using mushroom compost and grasses! This time by the Quawpaw Nation of OK. Less than a few inches of topsoil keeps earth from becoming like Mars. Learning to tend it, remove waste, rotate crops and animals benefits all of us! 🌱🌸🚪
