This Christmas I got the greatest gift I could have ever asked for. A 2S7 Pion with sufficient 203mm shells to conduct high intensity operations for at least 14 days.

Mumsnet, Christmas Day:

Santa was shot down to prevent the formation of the United States of Africa.

This is the final boss of "ya but adults" slop.

Cousin brought her cat to Christmas because she couldn't find a sitter. "Don't worry if she doesn't cuddle up - she's super antisocial, even with me." Skill issue. I've now got a furry 10 pound space heater on top of my blankets to help me get through the night.

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

The feral years of 2020-2022 burnt out a lot of the cycles pf killing-revenge killing that drive homicide rates.

Inside Coca Cola's C-Suite: "So, you know how we carefully built up a brand image over time through commercials stressing our soda as something shared with friends and families? Yeah? Okay, so hear me out here: why not pivot to soulless gigaslop remakes of our most beloved ad campaigns."

So, Jessica Pishko lied about Democrats not protecting trans kids bc 1% of House Dems voted wrong, just like on the trans athlete bill, which all 47 Senate Dems killed via filibuster. When called on it she wouldn’t admit she was wrong, but made bad faith claims, ended up on “genocide,” & blocked me

Bari Weiss' crisis response whiteboard probably includes back of the napkin math as to whether throupling up with all 4 million 60 minutes viewers is logistically feasible.

Given Bill's *shocking* lack of discipline in his sex life for most of his adult life, if there was any sign that he was into underage girls by this point, we'd have known it a decade+ ago.

So I assume - let me rephrase - I hope to God this idea is something they're going to announce, give a name to and then never actually, like, build. Because it is extremely dumb. And dumb in ways that will offend all sides of the carrier-drone-missile-wars.

Any time Eagles fans are impugned as a group, the individual casting aspersions should recognize that they are actually insulting international icon and hero, Malala Yousafzai.

You do not need to hand it to the Tyrant. Howeeeeeveeeer, It would be nice to have 16inch naval guns back in the fleet, where they belong. VLS, like all guided weapons, is low-T and unamerican.

Via @liamjscott.bsky.social at the other site here’s the full email from 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. She’s putting her career on the line by fighting here. And she’s fighting for all of us.

We may uh want to have a conversation about the fact that the majority of popular gay male romance is written by and for women

At a more general level, I do think it would be healthier for "are men reading" discourse if we internalized that a lot of the fiction market is porn.

Peforming Hajj to median voter Mecca (the Gatlinburg Buccees).

the precise moment where all the accumulated recklessness of your terrible decisions is suddenly clear to you. may many others have this moment

KARDIAC. KAELEN'S. WILD. RIDE.

A STUPID SPORT FOR BROKEN PEOPLE AND I AM ONE OF THEM.

Tis the season.

Anthony Joshua fighting with 10 oz boxing gloves is basically a guaranteed The Quiet Man remake unless there's some *massive* behind the scenes agreements happening.

On the bus.

I've already been hearing faculty discussion adapting to this policy by basically writing stripped down syllabi that include *only* the required boilerplate and nothing else, with things like course themes, reading schedules and such kept in separate documents to avoid the university owning them.

Kardiac Kaelen's wild ride never ends.

College football is a stupid sport for broken people. And I am one of them.

Joke's on anyone who tries to trick me with this. I don't even think the people who I *know*, who say they want to speep with me, actually want to sleep with me.

I can't believe we're gearing up for another round of "I can't understand why people dislike someone abusing a system" discourse.

I swear to God we're going to find out about some cursed Vance - Kirk - Weiss throuple by 2028.

This is a bowl game that will only be able to go forward if Mystery Incorporated is able to stop the kook haunting it.

Oh I'm SORRY that EVERYONE ON BLUESKY didn't like my new article in Piss Afficionado Digest about how only Reactionaries have Taste but it was just to promote my book on Leni Reifenstahl

lol, lmao, lol, lmao

MADE ON HONOR SOLD ON MERIT DRANK ON LAWN

I love how the Fallout show did a Novac shoutout with Big Iron and the Khans because modern genre writers are slopmachines who (correctly) think audiences are mostly there for the dopamine hit of seeing something they've seen before.

So funnily enough this basically describes Eduard Bernstein who also kind of is the founding theorist behind most of European social democracy.

The underlying problem is that, for a long time, the political spectrum has primarily viewed the Civil Rights Act (and related legislation) as a form of affirmative action (laudatory or derogatory depending on speaker). When in reality it's a set of tools designed to fix a specific dysfunction.

Like .0003% of the worlds population is capable of reading the Silmarillion and based on r/silmarillion still at least half of them are stupid

Voters: consistently vote like they hate rising prices more than they like rising wages. Voters: consistently respond in polls in a way that matches almost perfectly how they vote. A particularly stubborn Minnesotan: this is all bullshit, it's actually because voters are terminal twitter addicts.

40% of Clausewitz's mystique is because he was a bad writer.

I celebrate Xmas by family tradition, but as a military historian of the Hellenistic (c. 300-100 BCE) Mediterranean, Hanukkah is the holiday that falls within my professional bailiwick. So, a Hanukkah themed military history 🧵

IMO it's less about pure tax rates and more about the fact that a lot of these fields - podcasting/UFC/Only Fans/porn - are highly precarious, isolating, and extremely competitive. You get a heavy self-selection for people psychologically very inclined towards zero sum attitudes and Roganism.

When the productions in response to my document request aren't in native format.

Fitz's Root Beer is delicious and I will fight you over this.

A lot of people are getting negatively polarized into some *really* bad positions because of how annoying the people behind Anduril (and their glazers) are.

".CSV Casualty Records"

This was by far my greatest work.
