🚨Latest News: The USFWS announced it will not move forward with a nationwide recovery plan for gray wolves, a major reversal from its earlier commitment. The decision comes despite ongoing threats to wolves in parts of the West where state laws permit aggressive killing. Read more: bit.ly/4oQWCq6

What's... mildly disturbing beyond the facial implications of the proposal is that there are clearly people in the administration at relatively senior levels for whom killing several million Venezuelans would be a wet dream. Is CSIS trying to pander to them?

wow, can't believe Wesley is using this disrespectful human-imposed term and not the authentic endonym oooooooooowwhhheeeeeeee!owwwwwwwwsssnnnnneeo.

When the Trump DOJ says "separation of powers", they mean "principle that the President is the world's specialest boy."

I suppose the biggest question I have would be: does this capacity exist within the broader pool of people they'd be plausibly drawing from or is it something that would have to be developed (effectively) on the fly?

I am being informed that the 2025 Marvel Swimsuit Special has She-Hulk using the word "ratfucking", thinly censored. Would Jennifer Walters have a Bluesky?

"The Falcon's Children." "This is a fantasy novel, the first book of a trilogy." Dear God.

Idle Gundam thought: in Universal Century Gundam, there's a chemical weapon that, depending on the source, is called "G3" or "GG". This roughly fits into two holes in the CB G series codes, if we take C=3. How easily would CB codes have been known to the public or enthusiasts in the 70s/80s?

Remembered how the packaging for the HGUC Doven Wolf has a little blurb saying "now you can have a complete set of Rakan Dakaran's mobile suits!" and how the first time I saw that I thought "I don't know if that's a selling point for anyone".

The peaceful coexistence and colonial life are fascinating.

YES Joe Biden was deepthroating a smokeshow. But that doesn’t mean you have to be mean.

He's visibly deflating.

Why are pigs so cute. They would gladly eat people if they could, one even casually grabbed my finger in her mouth at a petting zoo and rubbed her molars against it to demonstrate who had the power here, but gosh darn it they're cute.

Denver Post confirms what we’ve been hearing: nearly all federal HSI agents with expertise on cultural property crimes have been reassigned to immigration duties in recent months. Major loss of law enforcement capabilities in the world’s largest art market. www.denverpost.com/2025/11/06/u...

What's funny is that the pop misunderstanding that produced this nonsense is something that applies to a number of English curse words. "Damn", "hell", "bastard", "bitch" are all contextually profane and dependent on the register or speech.

What a queen

Always love a piece that agrees with me that we must kill the Jones Act with hammers

here's a good WoTR piece for today! warontherocks.com/2025/11/amer...

One billion Optimus robots built per year. Bigger than cell phones. I'm dying.

I always have to wonder just who this is signaling for.

I realize this is a tiny thing but I'm unreasonably annoyed by "all new passports" when the executive order goes so much further than requiring it for newly-issued passports.

The typo is irritating. Leaving out airport codes is moreso. Dead-naming Reid, Marshall, and Inouye Int'l Airports bc they're named for Democrats is peak 12 YO.

Someone seems to have misunderstood what digital calipers are..

Is it jury nullification, or is it the sovereign (the people of the United States of America, constitutionally) determining that a state of exception is necessary? Can someone print this out and glue it to the door of Vermeule's office.

Eighty five percent of people on Pine Ridge Reservation are on SNAP benefits. Please step up to help! gofund.me/6292c2dcf

"We defanged our protectors." Btw, China, I mean the American Soldier-warrior, is not the lamb.

Clock King.

world's worst polycule, featuring Ross Douthat

They're gonna build it in less than eight months? This thing will be made of styrofoam. But that'll make it easier to rip out...

Going deep on it.

Wow, just letting the Boys from Brazil scheme out of the bag this early.

😬

It cost $0.00 to make an artist's day better

Hmmm. Company announcing they're curtailing and reducing the summer internship program for next year. Wheeeeee.

The droop, the total disinterest on his face... Christ.

As juiceless as an overcooked turkey.

RFK Jr. skedaddling immediately... what, would the temptation to vivisect this passed-out fellow be too great?

Telling Achilles that a woman named Helen said he needed to know how not to take it personally when his leader made a choice that he didn't agree with and making the Iliad even worse.

"Forced to participate in Jewish rituals" is a hell of a way to sanewash complaining about the prospect of sharing food with Jews.

"Which meant they needed to have hierarchical structures." *laughs in sagas, the Iliad, the Roman military...*

This is prompting serious theological invention and development.

One of my favorite things to do with Glorantha is give Sun Dome Temples names derived from pop music of the gayer kind. Just named one "Kyriakos" after George Michael's given middle name.

It remains wild to me that people see Singapore (where 0.25% of its land area is preserved natural areas) as a workable model for anything other than other island city-state.
