On one side of the metro, broccoli hairs talking about all their parlays. On the other side, zoomer girls talking about how android gives them the ick. I'm in hell.

Slop, IMO, is best viewed as being in relation to pop culture, not high culture. Policing slop is mostly about protecting some standards around day to day media.

As I posted a day or two ago, there's a strong bias in the demos most likely to use Bsky to associate morality with competence, and, by extension, immorality with inherent incompetence. Thus the desperate need to believe that Lee, murderous traitor, brutal slaveholder, was also an incompetent.

Step by step, the war on slopchuggers can be won.

The utter hilarity that is *Bari Weiss'* Free Press publishing this.

So this is definitely a (general) subtweet, but Robert E. Lee discourse really reveals how tightly Bsky type people (and associated twitter communities) tend to correlate competence with morality and vice versa.

MOIST LOUAYYYYYYY!!!

Assigned fullback at birth.

It's usually easy to place when people in the defense/Ukraine space went bsky only.

Except when it comes to Serbs.

I really need a "Wasted" meme template, only with "Slopped".

I'm only semi-joking whenever I drop the "does Hezbollah have white privilege in this conflict?" bomb on someone.

If your navy is badly overstretched at 11 supercarriers, the question is not "how many more do we need?" it's "what the hell are we doing and how do we start calming things down?"

None of the Ehrlich obits are going to be honest, because the target audience for Ehrlich's work has always been a specific kind of upper/upper-middle class educated audience.

Highly recommend reading the full opinion. Legal tells slopchugger CEO that he can't throw the founders out of the company. CEO instead gets slopped and follows a plan set by Chat GPT, which has resulted in expensive litigation, complete failure, and Krafton's reputation tanking.

I served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Education and Training for three years before the office was disestablished last year. I owned the policy on professional military education for all five services. I have listened to Secretary Hegseth's announcement. I have thoughts. 🧵

Bernie Sanders, the alpha and the omega of left slopulism.

It is impossible to have any sort of bankruptcy practice experience and not be intensely blackpilled on Warren's claims to competency.

"Onward" is a bad movie because its premise comes from no love. No one actually really wanted to make this film in this way. I recommend watching it in tandem with "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves", a great movie that was made from love—love for that kind of fantasy and the stories in it.

Babylon 5 is fascinating because Deep Space Nine asks the question: "what are the lines a superpower must cross in the name of protecting the innocent?" B5 asks: "Yugoslavia?" and then gives you more Yugoslavia.

A lot of this is ass covering, but still pretty telling that *Lindsay Graham* is trying to pump the brakes on Bibi's total state collapse train.

Leavitt woman take son for Trump war.

this is right but also we should absolutely say trump wants to bring back the draft

Ali Khamenei, despite his reputation, actually limited Iran in certain aspects to try to maintain the chance of relations with the west. It annoyed the IRGC deeply. Anyway, congrats to China, who will likely have, within five years, a treaty ally with its dagger at the throat of the global economy.

It's becoming increasingly obvious why no US president prior to Trump II ever gave Netanyahu the big war with Iran he's been demanding since 2002.

Ready Player One is up there, but I genuinely loathe The Last Jedi for non-CHUD reasons and would be willing to sacrifice a non-zero number of days from my lifespan to have its existence erased from this universe.

Fine dining is fun because the industry runs off of physical and sexual assault and slave labor and yet still every restaurant somehow struggles to make a profit. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/d...

I know everyone wants to make fun of this. But holy crap everyone just run with it and no one let the tyrant know that this isn't how things work. I prefer gas to not be $27 per gallon.

What's infuriating is that there already was a leader elected to significantly curtail Iranian adventurism - Pezeshkian - and instead both us and Israel have done everything possible to sabotage any hopes of him being able to accomplish those goals.

People really do not understand just how much damage LLMs enable. The key tool for limiting bad behavior by pro ses in the legal system is the time required to do so.

This is not technically a war crime; an unarmed combatant is not hors de combat (out of the action) sufficiently to make targeting them illegal. And had the IRIS Dena returned home it would have immediately armed up and joined the fight. But blowing up an unarmed ship vulnerable because of a joint

I think a major reason why AI evangelists are so pushy is that it's a prisoner's dilemma. White collar work (generally) operates on a high quality for high quality trade. Slop chuggers want to provide low quality. But that doesn't work unless everyone else agrees to accept it.

The JSOC experience: arrive, murder a member of the armed forces of a nation who we want to be a partner, leave. The use the language of "clash" but the additional reporting is that a column sent out to investigate what was happening got air striked with no warning. www.rudaw.net/english/midd...

There's a ton of talk about how CENTCOM is pushing this because of memories of Iranian intervention in Iraq in the 2000s. I might just be a simple country lawyer, but I had long presumed that the purpose of a professional military was to *not* engage in gangbanger bullshit.

THE ONLY THING THAT CAN KILL A BAD MCDONNELL JET WITH A GUN IS A GOOD MCDONNELL JET WITH A GUN

F/A-18: Maekar; F-15E: Baelor. I will not be taking questions at this time.

*Touches hand to earpiece* "You're saying that the modern DoD has a cargo cult like relationship with air power and many of our theories of victory in LSCO are unknowingly dependent on a scale of air strike availability that is extremely unlikely to be possible?"

"Hi I'm Major Arshad and welcome to Jackass" is barely an exaggeration of what Pakistani nuclear doctrine is like

The biggest lesson we've taught Iran over the past 48 hours is that the only thing it can trust in is anti-shipping missiles aimed at the Strait of Hormuz and Shaheds falling regularly on Saudi oil processing plants.

They'll have to start calling it INDOOM soon because there won't be a singular measly PAC in the entire hemisphere lmao

We're burning PAC-3 missiles shooting down Shaheds.

I swear to God if any of you who I know use this I am going to be extremely disappointed in you. Do not. Bring. The. Slop Machine. To. Court.

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social Random question that's been bugging me for a while. There's a significant eastern element to the late Republican civil wars. By this point, when, e.g., Caesar is campaigning in Egypt, do we know if the Eastern Militaries had been "Romanoformed" to a degree?

"There is providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children, and Will Stancil."

Maxime Peter Maxime for my Grandmother's stepbrother, who the only one in her family besides her mother to have tried to protect her. Peter for Petar Todorov, my great-great-grandfather. A moron incompetent fascist best remembered for failing to negotiate Bulgaria's debt in the interwar years.

This is a well written piece in terms of advocacy, but I think the logic of "gaming is failing because it didn't diversify" fails in the face of the facts that the games industry is teetering because everyone is playing the same three games now. kotaku.com/game-industr...
