One thing I believe is that the sheer material affluence of the United States is part of the reason why we're in this mess (belief that water comes from the tap and that things really can't get that much worse) is also another reason why this administration is sowing the seeds of its destruction

I am again reminded why Atomic Bombing Discourse is the stupidest discourse that comes up regularly. It is a legitimately fascinating debate with plenty of nuance and no real clear answer, but online randos just use it to promote their political/ideological priors.

"Call of Duty and its consequences have been a disaster for the Human Race."

Ah, the USSR. Famously an example of the inevitability of socialism's triumph over capitalism.

One of the root causes of our problems today is that no one wants to actually do the work of a senator or rep, especially senators and reps.

And yet again, we only make national news for the absolute worst reasons.

Banner on the website of the National Archives at College Park, Maryland, website: "Restricted-Access Federal Facility, Effective July 7, 2025. Effective July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. It will no longer be open to the general public. Security officers will enforce these restrictions, and your cooperation is appreciated."

So this is an ominous banner: "Effective July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. It will no longer be open to the general public." www.archives.gov/college-park

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

This seems relevant yet again.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Another thing I've noticed is that there's a strong assumption among many Democrats that public opinion is essentially a force of nature to be responded to, rather than something that can be created. Getting rid of this mentality is a prerequisite to solving the problem.

One of the next parts of Pride is that alcohol laws are basically suspended.

It's really funny how there are worse ways of tracking the arc of conservative thought in the US by seeing what Tom Clancy is pissed off about in his writings. From the KGB mole who was an anti-Vietnam activist, to the not-Gorbachev General Secretary using arms control to cover for an offensive war.

I've seen like 3 ads on metro today for Substack. The last thing that we as a nation need is more DC-based Substack writers.

Takingboff your shoes on Metro at rush hour is certainly a choice.

we need to think of 'abolishing ICE' as like 'abolishing the Wehrmacht.' Germany still needed an army. Americans will still want some kind of immigration and border authorities. But abolishing the culture, structures, and power-holders of a utterly corrupted and brutal system is important.

So this obviously was supposed to be literacy tests, but even then, I hope you guys don't need anything shipped by truck.

Bunch of signs with shit like "x number of Armenian claims disproved by UN" and "Why are you scared to believe the truth?" Seems like a lovely group.

Just passed a pro-Armenian Genocide protest coming home from work. That's nice.

Looking over my healthcare benefits and coming to the conclusion I need to marry someone in the military.

Fuck Microsoft Word.

I will build Golden Dome for half of what Elon and his friends are asking for.

It won't get built either way, but you save a lot of money.

Yet.

Never have I ever released highly classified info via an unapproved channel to a journalist.

I do think a contributing factor is that everything else, while evil, can be seen and written about as powerful. This... cannot.

Dude I get it. I was stuck in job limbo for months.

It's like how the Soviets tried to put a prohibition on all dual-use weapons in exchange for German unification, which just happened to ban 155 artillery pieces.

Should anyone need any of the documentation about Brazil from their digital archives, please DM me.

There is an epidemic of gay men with 70s porn star moustaches that must be stopped.
