Obviously easy to dunk on, but the tragedy of it is she’s in for a shock when she wakes up tomorrow in just as much pain at the loss of her son

If you ever lost a loved one, especially a young person in a horrible event, and I have, it’s laughable to think someone else’s pain will assuage your own

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox says sports betting on Kalshi is ‘destroying lives.’ The data is on his side. Prediction markets have created a loophole that has effectively legalized gambling in Utah. There’s plenty of research to show the downsides.

"In all, for each $1 spent on online sports betting, net investments ⬇️ by 99 cents. In other words, basically all of the money people spent on sports betting didn’t replace other leisure activities or discretionary income, but ended up in less money in retirement accounts or other investments."

Plus even being middle class in America means you’re living a precarious existence

So I’m just agreeing with the OP that people comfortably posting online that other people should make sacrifices the posters aren’t willing to make is shitty

But beyond race, my real point was their economic situation, and in America race is sort of a proxy for that

I have no clue how you’d find “poverty rate and household income of the families of enlisted members at their time of enlistment” to compare to the national data

This Army report from 2022 actually shows a more diverse force over the past 15 years, which if anything means I was wrong about my HS experience but more correct now. And the non-Hispanic white total here is less than the nation as a whole, indicating the Army is more diverse

Idk how to do that, so if you do I’m all ears!

If I’m parsing this data right, figure 2.22 says 67% active duty enlisted are white. But they don’t break out non-Hispanic white, which makes it worthless for what I’m talking about download.militaryonesource.mil/12038/MOS/Re...

Can’t stress enough how much the guy sucks who is pushing this. Always convinced of his own rightness, utterly incurious about anything because he already knows the answer

An Ohio newspaper has a new star writer. It isn’t human. At the 184-year-old Cleveland Plain Dealer, a top editor’s push to let AI draft news articles is boosting traffic — and spooking staffers.

At a Cleveland newspaper, reporters assigned to the suburbs “are now expected to file four stories a day with the help of AI.”

Also: one reporter “said they were caught off guard when their annual performance review indicated insufficient AI use.”

It’s almost like they don’t actually believe in those things!

Oh for sure. If there's one thing he's known for, it's going back on his word. That's where the strategically placed Trump Towers come in handy

C is more possible now because it simply means "who can bribe Trump/get a Trump Tower built where he would bomb"

If people wanna say middle-aged officers should quit, that's one thing

18-20 year olds of limited means and a HS education don't have options or even necessarily know the history OR know who/what the target is

Also: military recruiters prey on disadvantaged kids. They're not talking to the lily-white upper crust. They're not focusing on colleges. It's non-white & poor white 17 year olds

You could almost say we keep an underclass to exploit them for war. Service is their only path out of poverty

Sickening, disqualifying statement from #Ohio Democrat Greg Landsman. Defending an illegal war and the murder of 80+ school children should be career-ending

Hegesth replying to the media like “I’ve been scouring X the everything app, and I have been reliably informed by Laura Loomer and Catturd that he is dead”

So I alt-texted Schumer's statement and his staff HID IT in the replies. They HID the alt-text.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

Real “are we the baddies” vote here

What if the only way to shoot down the missile is if Claude would say a slur? What then? What then??

Oh yes?

The US produces more oil than it uses, and we need to stop using oil anyway

Shipping oil is the only reason we even ostensibly care about Iran

Imagine leaving this up after news of dozens of children at school being the first killed

How is someone still saying “limousine liberal” in the year of our Lord 2026

I'm sure someone related to Trump or another official did

Oh…

no one, most especially Trump, even knows what we were negotiating over!

and the "negotiations" were conducted by his son in law

Sorry but the moral of the story is that, be you Anthropic, NSF, a Ivy university, a doctor, a cop, doesn’t matter if you do 95% of what these people tell you in the hope you get to save the other 5% of your ethics, or your dignity, or your funding. They’ll steamroll you anyway until full compliance
