ME: Ouch. So then I said, “she hot on my dog till I relish mustard,” ouch. It got like sixty likes, so I’m pretty happy with that. Ow. ANTON CHIGURH: (tapping the end of his captive bolt pistol to make sure it’s still working) Uh huh ME: Anyway what’s your @, we should link up. Oof. Do you smoke?

It’s very enervating to watch intelligent and educated people play dumb about this amidst the ascendance of a far-right reactionary movement driven by antisocial Silicon Valley psychos and Miami crypto scammers who all treat women as status symbols on the same level as NFTs and Labubus.

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

A thing I have learned from being online since 1995: If you're a writer, editor, journalist, academic, you have to be ready to go contrarian when you feel it. And if you're feeling it all the time, such that it's become your idenitity, that's a signal. You broke your mind.

Guarantee you that allied defense staffs are freaking TF out over this.

The US is imposing 1000% tariffs on ma, the concept of emptiness or negative space in Japanese cinema. From now on if a character quietly admires a river or sips a cup of tea, theaters will be taxed millions

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

I don’t celebrate Kirk’s death, but I’ll be damned before I say one word of praise about him. Every day of his adult life he worked hard to diminish the rights of people he didn’t like, and I refuse to pretend otherwise.

among the reasons that we do not/should not want an explosion of neighbor-on-neighbor political violence is that its consistent historical remedy is a dramatic surge of state repression and terror. reclaiming the monopoly of violence, in Weberian terms I assure you we really don't want that future

a significant undercurrent to modern Republican politics is "searching for the button that will permanently disable left politics"

jeez, this is so overthought Dems do not need to "win an argument" on a shutdown. Republicans have a governing majority. If they don't have the votes to pass basic funding measures that's nobody's problem but theirs. Would Mitch McConnell be prevaricating like this? (No. No he would not)

no no in the western hemisphere it's "constabulary operations"

American politics are fundamentally asymmetric and once you see it you can never not see it. This is another example, the left is always chided for cutting off the right, for not dating the right, for not giving the right another chance. It never goes the other direction.

i feel that way too, i feel there has been an entire decade stolen from us that has only served to make the world a much, much worse place, i don't feel like making peace with anyone who helped get us here, i don't care what happens to them or what kind of things they're going through anymore

"The labubu -- no, I will not say it. I will not legitimize this absurdity, not even in mockery. A rabbit in a suit, my god, and they sell for how much? I see, and -- no. No. What in the devil is a lafufu? Am I having some species of stroke?"

the east coast: I drew you a nice, hot bath me: in the bathtub? the east coast: in the air all around you :) the east coast: there is no escape :)

No you cannot determine which drugs are safe and effective with machine learning. You cannot. It will not work. People will die.

This is necessary not just to find ways to win political power with less money but more broadly for trying to break the chains the necessity of money has over politics and a lot of the fucked up incentive structures that result.

So many Dem leaders (and voters) would rather crater into autocracy than operate with the beliefs: 1. Your enemies are bad 2. They do objectively bad things on purpose 3. Either they win or you stop them

EUCOM: 32 Abrams and a broken Stryker AFRICOM: 2 guys from 3rd Group INDOPACOM: 1 empty THAAD battery CENTCOM: 6 CSGs, the entire USAF, and 4,000 TLAMs SOUTHCOM: 3 Marines from 29 Palms who got lost on leave Someone who is good at force posture, please help me. My deterrence is dying

Every place that the Republican Party governs on the local level is the worst place you've ever been in your entire life and yet this never seems to be covered by the news media for some reason. Only the 5 poorest Black neighborhoods in every Blue city get covered. I'm sure that's a coincidence

it is a truth of this website that no matter what position you hold on any topic, one of the most terminally online people on earth whose full time job appears to be getting angry on the internet will appear to declare that you are a centrist

If you have no idea what your users might want and no interest in finding out, simply promise investors that you're building an app for everyone that can do everything, and therefore will have everyone in the world as your addressable market (wow!) with the global GDP as potential revenue (wowza!)

Despite misleading marketing, Israeli company TeleMessage, used by Trump officials, can access plaintext chat logs. My findings are based on TM SGNL's source code, and they are corroborated by hacked data micahflee.com/despite-misl...

so good

genuinely, what does Hegseth understand DoD to be in the business of

💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.

traveling in and reporting on the Nordics has really soured me on American style subcultural bohemian leftism. actually existing egalitarian institutions rely on a lot of dutiful, virtuous, boring ass bureaucrats

If he says you don't need OPSEC, he's a Fed 👏👏 if he says you don't need OPSEC, he's a Fed 👏👏 If he wants you to repeat it Where the chat room won't delete it If he says you don't need OPSEC, he's a Fed 👏👏

It'll take you a while to work through all the wtf in this story. Once I got past the obvious topline madness, I was struck by a) the obvious effort to circumvent public records disclosure laws and b) the nakedly transactional approach to military operations. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Mitch McConnell did more with less, without resorting to nonlinear math to figure out what to do. This is pitiful.

Here’s a rough equivalent: Consider if in 2021, Joe Biden tapped a billionaire pal to slash agencies that Republicans like (e.g. ICE and the Pentagon) and then negotiated a Dems-only gov’t funding bill with Pelosi and the squad. And told McConnell + 10 Senate Rs to vote for it. How would that go?
