the fact that Ross's first words after killing Good were "fucking bitch" is one of those things that makes me feel like every attempt to make feminist theory sophisticated was actually pointless. like no apparently there are guys who actually do just want to kill women for inconveniencing them

If they knew, they absolutely are culpable. When I was in nukes, I absolutely wasn't privy to the detailed on the ground Intel. If I'd had to do my job, I would not have had a satellite view of weapons coming towards us. I had to trust those with that information to act within the bounds of the law.

no I'm trying to say that you have zero idea of what you were talking about and now you are throwing strawmen out the back of your truck as fast as you can. you are the worst kind of liberal and I say that as someone who is far far left. I'm done talking to you. there is no hope

Yes and we know precisely the commander who ordered that action, and he clearly has violated the law.

you are the same kind of person as the guy who showed up at the daycares, demanding entrance and declaring fraud because they wouldn't let him look at the children. You're just a liberal about it.

but yes, please anticipate that an 18 to 22-year-old is going to know the finer details of something that has yet to be adjudicated. This is why you have the JAG, remember, the people I keep telling you were fired immediately upon Hegseth taking over? This is why higher ranks get that training

please...cite the precise orders that were illegal. This is wrong, we all know that. But the admin is leaning on laws passed by Congress and on recent and not so recent precedents set by EVERY president since Bush. The courts need to work thru the very specific language and actions

Tell me you've never read the UCMJ. As much as we would love it to be as simple as you say, this is not. And that is congress's fault. and scotus.

I think you don't understand that military members do not call press conferences when they resign. And the first thing Kegsbreath did was to fire a significant number of top JAG

03.01.2026 14:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That's because many of them already resigned, and the JAG that would have opposed were removed early on. Additionally, you are not going to hear right away when someone resigns.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

me at the end of class: here's a little speculative exercises; imagine you wake up from cryosleep in 2085. what's the kind of tech-society r/ship you'd like to see around you?

students: no AI

I honestly think students' views are missing from the 'should AI be integrated in classrooms' discussion

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
