I think I'm going to put all these in a folder and randomly troll Hegseth and anyone who praises his approach to our military with them

This ain't normal behavior. I'm saying they workshopped all this stuff to try to play the "put them off guard" game to avoid answering actual questions. They're repeating themselves, so people have been catching onto the game they're playing

Esprit d'escalier is a thing. You don't come up with your best parries on the fly, you anticipate them and get together to critique them

That means that she is dangerously competent at her mission. Pilots do have "memory item" checklists for things that cannot wait to find the paper checklists. But they use those written checklists *all the time* because memory is fallible, even for routine things

I put this through my '2nd language test'. Into Danish, the phrase ends "uden tab", "without loss"

But, when the word жертв alone is translated, it spits out "ofre" (alt sp. offer), which meeeaans "victim", but its less metaphorical root meaning is "offering to the gods"🫢😬
And English?👇

Mom! Why you do this to me?!

Or if you are for it, they aren't doing it HARD ENOUGH

Why does it feel like her gynecologist got confused?

Snake seems to be resorbing its tail through its abdomen (?)

Russians don't know what a black bear looks like, apparently

Not exactly the most reliable of sources👇

@americanfietser.bsky.social needs to be tagged into this one

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can’t govern. The Lincoln Project

#Pinks

And we know who was President the last time the government shut down.

And it was one of the longest shutdowns in history.

An analogy to a coalition. That the Lib-Dems sold out to the Tories nationally doesn't invalidate the concept. Many parliamentary democracies regularly are run by coalitions. Some are evil, like Israel. Others are not
The coalition analogy is a coalition of the voters

Proportional representation would garner them dozens of seats because there are uneducated wankers everywhere. Something like ranked-choice voting would allow local representation chosen like a coalition government. Like-minded people achieving a compromise

Proportional representation doesn't make sense in a system where the seated are representing local interests. Broad unpopularity shouldn't win seats.
There is a better way than FPTP, though

That doesn't make any sense at all. Puerto Rico being a part of the US is a simple fact. It isn't something that you could reason your way towards. It is literally something that you would drill to pass a test

I've seen the coverage. The press fawn over them like they are a hot new celebrity. They need to be treated like the far-right neo-fascist threat to democracy that they are. They don't play fair and they won't be fair if they are allowed power

Not sure if that is one of the many Texas accents, but she is a Southerner for sure
The blond was having a good time listen to the Brit push him on the obvious. You could see that Cruz has been through training on how to stonewall a reporter who is trained to "be impartial, non-partisan"

I really wish that people, but especially the press, would stop giving them so much credit above their station
On the basis of their recent mentions in the press, where would you place Reform in this map of the membership of Commons? No cheating by knowing how many they *actually have*

"Narco-terrorists" needs to be in quotes since we have zero evidence that they were anything other than fishermen.

Liebreich: The Pragmatic Climate Reset - Part I | BloombergNEF As the tide on clean energy turns, Michael Liebreich makes a strong case for a pragmatic climate reset.

Do not listen to populists with magical realism solutions to high energy prices. Do not copy the US, which is about to see huge energy inflation. It is possible to get power prices down and to make rapid, affordable progress towards Net Zero(ish).

Hey MAGAs explain to me how it’s making America great again to take away food from every 8th American family and then delete the data about food insecurity in the U.S. to hide that fact? Let me remind you that the vast majority of them probably live in red states!🤔 #MAGAmurica #SNAP #FoodInsecurity

Street sign warning about the danger in flood-prone areas "When flooded, turn around, don't drown"

"Turn around, don't drown" is the message that emergency services puts out around here. As little as 15 cm of fast running water can sweep you, an adult, off your feet and carry you away. If you can't drive in it, you shouldn't be walking in it, no matter what or who is waiting at home

Trump was not operating in a vacuum by declaring ANNTEEEFUH a domestic terrorist organization. He had precedent

Did they finally arrest Simonyan for being too much of a bragging blabbermouth?

Russian Railways does still have competition for loads, and as insane as it might sound, there have been reports of shipping by truck being CHEAPER than Russian Railways.

Which is bonkers.

There's a bit of a problem with making that a revenue source. I thought the name of the station (Terminal) was appropriate😘🤣

It's more than just wind power (the US is a major, if not leading, manufacturer). We spent decades becoming the leader in EVs in the free world. And just as they are taking off...
