"FIFA Peace Prize" has about the same level of value and cachet as "McDonalds Oceanic Exploration Award"

I may have just reinvented Mosaic religion. So be it

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

And of course the first murdering was bad, and going back for a second round was bad regardless of the timing. But this was premeditation on top of torture with a little extra lagniappe of cruelty just for shiggles.

41 minutes is the detail that’s been haunting me. I’d been thinking of, I dunno, guys going back for more while they were still in full adrenaline mode - but they had 2 whole tv episodes worth of time to know what they had done and THEN went back for more entirely cold-blooded murdering.

For a little under an hour — 41 minutes, according to a separate US official — Bradley and the rest of the US military command center discussed what to do as they watched the men struggle to overturn what was left of their boat, the sources said.

Ultimately, Bradley told lawmakers, he ordered a second strike to destroy the remains of the vessel, killing the two survivors, on the grounds that it appeared that part of the vessel remained afloat because it still held cocaine, according to one of the sources. The survivors could hypothetically have floated to safety, been rescued, and carried on with trafficking the drugs, the logic went.

A screenshot of a post from a guy named Jon Scott who says, "How to tell a Maine Coon cat from a Norwegian Forest cat: the Maine Coon cat looks like Ron Perlman. The Norwegian Forest cat looks like Linda Hamilton. If you weren't watching Beauty and the Beast in 1987, I see no value in further elaboration." Below this are two pictures of cats. One looks like Ron Perlman. The other looks like Linda Hamilton.

@stephenaryan.bsky.social IKYKWIM!!!!!

Nothing convinces me more that Hegseth is a sexual abuser than the way I see him talk to men he doesn't respect.

"Like" is entirely the wrong response to this but uhhhh

Today, in Utah, homeowners *or renters* can simply buy a solar panel at Costco, take it home, and plug it in to a wall socket, like an appliance. It just sits there & trims about 15-20% off a residential power bill. If you move to another apt., you can take it with you.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The coup was over in hours because people said no.

"are you enjoying duo mobile" does a hamburger enjoy being made of quarks. does a fish enjoy linear time. does the mountain enjoy the first taste of a cup of hot chocolate when you get back to the ski lodge. your question means nothing to me. i couldn't enjoy duo mobile even if i tried

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

Nobody wants to tell young men to just grow tf up—not when there’s money to be made in telling them there’s “a masculinity crisis” and “it’s just such a confusing time for young men, right now.”

He’s not saying any of the crap he’s saying because he hates Somalis or Somalia. He’s saying it because he hates *black people*. The layer of ‘immigrant’ gives him protection just like eating dogs and cats have him protection-

This is a non-sequitur from absolutely everything, but goddamn these are the best matzo balls I've ever made in my life.

if this is accurate it would be a worse special election result for republicans in a congressional stronghold than any special election under trump 1.0 (other than possibly roy moore)

This fucking timeline has me wondering whether it's ickier when I find myself agreeing with Will, or Kristol.

someday i too hope to be a very old person falling asleep during a gathering where everyone i know has to show up and say nice things about me, but i think in my case I’ll call that a “deathbed” not a “cabinet meeting”

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.

All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

oh they gave me a blue check now I can say how I REALLY feel!!! trans rights free Palestine housing is a human right universal health care for all six hour day for eight hours pay mandatory minimum wage raises that track to rent & cost of living protect the oceans & the rivers and bring back Jujubes

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

This is so amazing. Congrats and hearts and I am SO FUCKING GLAD YOU'RE HERE (and tmg too)

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

7 million Americans protested against Trump’s tyranny on a single day last month. Just thought I’d remind folks since major media seem to think it’s a one-day story and a photo gallery instead of overwhelming evidence that there’s growing mass resistance to the regime.
