Apophenia generally is a double-edged sword.

“Lord, why is your burrito so much bigger than mine?” “It was then when I carried My happy ass into Chipotle to look the Burrito Man in the eye and you logged into your dumb app.”

“Stephen Miller is Grima Wormtongue” falls apart almost immediately as a metaphor because Theoden was actually a good king corrupted by evil whereas Trump has the leadership instincts of that potato-headed orc from Pelennor Fields.

Task & Purpose has, in the past, flirted with weirdos.

It’s why they get along with Silicon Valley so well

This fool called it the Defense Department

“Just because departmental leadership has given up on pretenses of professionalism doesn’t mean that the rest of you should, too.”

That’s not true. But Leonidas opted to go fight a bunch of Persians at Thermopylae rather than stay in Sparta when Chotiner came to visit.

WTF is up with Trump’s speed run through awarding Medals of Honor?

Read nonfiction, read fiction, read broadly and deeply and capriciously. Support authors who know what they’re doing and talking about.

What an odd response to a pretty basic post. It gets history wrong and it gets the relationship between art and politics wrong.

Accidental Orwell

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

We should pass a law that if you’re wearing any sort of smart glasses you have to also have a big flashing propeller hat, or people just get to smack the glasses off your face.

ESPN dot com has an article about the passing of Lou Holtz (famed Notre Dame football coach), and this sentence just leapt out at me for its weirdness: “Holtz was born Jan. 6, 1937, in West Virginia, the son of a Navy veteran who served during World War II.”

Yeah, I’m reminded of the comparison I had relayed to me: “It’s like going to a gym and using a forklift to lift the weights.”

We need to shut down Montana until we can figure out what’s going on with their extremist politicians.

A thorough and clear analysis of how stupid and craven it would be for Gov Polis to do anything for Tina Peters.

Actually you can use soap on your cast iron pan. It’s okay, the cops can’t stop you.

Navy Seals continuing to hurt Marines in the dumbest possible ways.

Here’s a link for Colorado residents to give Polis your opinion on clemency governorsoffice.colorado.gov/governor/sha...

How’s that working out with the Detachment 201 dorks? How have they contributed to anything?

No one ever expects the Spanish in this position

“Domino theory in reverse” Go jump up your own ass

Chances the US Navy sunk the Iranian ship just so Trump and Hegseth can brag about the first torpedo sinking* since WWII: not zero *For the US

Back to Scurvy Posting 2026! Lord, I have seen what you've done for others... can you do for some more of them? www.menshealth.com/entertainmen...

Got it. I'm sorry for your loss. To clarify: You want a eulogy for your father that's 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲, sounds 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁, and captures the 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗺. I get it. He wasn't just your father — he was your Dad. Here a few options I came up with:

Draft Kings? No. Draft Barron? Also no.

Biggest voter’s remorse supporting this guy ever

Anyone know what those tech bro lieutenants colonel are up to?

Persian Gulf of Tonkin Brought To You By Draft Kings

My, "Fuck Notre Dame" stance has never led me astray

Maybe Spain should kick the US Navy out of Rota.

Some AIvangelists liken anti-AI attitudes toward a hypothetical anti-electricity argument. “Oh, would you have been against electricity?” They come up with niche use cases where AI might be helpful, then say “You want people to live in the dark?” And I say yes, if electricity was used…

You do not hate tech bros enough

As I watch footage of explosions in Beirut and dust clouds towering above apartment blocks in Tehran, I keep coming back to something that I witnessed back in the summer of '04, during my first tour in Iraq. But first, let's start with a question: Have you ever heard someone wail? 1/

Another Brad Cooper bringing embarrassment to the Navy

Win! I had twelve weevil bucks on a side parley that AP would ruin what little was left of its positive public image before the 4th of July!

is everyone on glue

Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.

One of the dumbest little details of this whole stupid war is that the Wikipedia article on the “2026 Iran Conflict” lists “JD Vance” among the “Commanders and leaders” section. The VP is not in anyone’s chain of command.

One of the few things I miss about Twitter is the bot account that automatically retweeted me whenever I told another account to “eat shit.”

imagine spending your career working to get all those lil patches only to end up taking orders from donald trump lmao

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force. Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

Stop putting Infantry Dort into my timeline

No nation building, only nation destroying

Turns out people are just generally stupid

Just an absolute disaster of a tweet, story, article, person, people, country.
