🐇 Something Clever

Xi will go only when he's absolutely certain he can actually pull it off because crossing the strait would be the most complex air, naval, and amphibious operation in history. Olympic into megacities that back directly onto jungle covered mountains

If this is airstrikes only, who are they supposed to surrender to, and who are the 'forces of liberation'?

filming a hasty video in the dark at a golf resort while wearing a ball cap and releasing it on social media at 2AM then disappearing from view is one of those things that would make this seem like farce if there weren't a very real and mounting death toll attached to it, it's very surreal

China and North Korea could (I suppose with the latter we could do it but South Korea/Japan wouldn’t like what would happen immediately afterwards).

okay so can anyone actually protect their principals from the US military?

he's on it

“Mr President, the bombings have begun in Tehran and also customers are complaining we have run out of shrimp at the pool buffet.”

i'm still thinking about how DOGE set up a starlink terminal inside the WH complex and were plugging unsecured commercial devices into every server they could get access to

I'm disgusted enough that it makes me upset to see people speculate as to the impact this all will have on the 2026 midterms and 2028. But it is nonetheless important *as a pure practical matter* to observe who is saying what and what they're aiming for. Ossoff and Gallego are instructive.

It is absolutely vital that we punish every politician not sufficiently opposed and I am glad that these two see where the winds might blow. We should validate this thinking.

i've got several questions but also... dudes rock?

My money is on she confused Valve for Epic, who are deffinetly running a kiddie casino with fortnite.

NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG Valve, a video game developer, has made billions of dollars by letting children and adults illegally gamble for the chance to win valuable virtual prizes. These features are addictive and harmful. That's why I'm suing to stop Valve’s unlawful conduct and protect New Yorkers. 3:08 PM · Feb 25, 2026 · 277.2K Views

what

Sounds like someone who should be impeached come January

it’s legitimately a huge fucking scandal that the FBI director has fucked up at least two major investigations because he uses the FBI’s planes as private planes and has actively failed to even bother with one of the highest profile abductions since the lindburgh baby

Very unclear the extent to which ICE is gone from Minneapolis. On one hand, it's definitely down A LOT from the peak, which was beyond description. On the other, there are raids and vehicles reported daily in the suburbs, significantly above the pre-surge baseline as far as we can tell.

maybe blexas might be a thing this time

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

Trump really missed his calling as a bisexual Broadway producer who is taken down in 2018 by sexual harassment allegations.

My thing lately is going up to random tuff dudes and hitting them with the “woogity woogity”

Do not let Brett Kavanaugh's increasingly reactionary politics distract you from the simpler fact that Brett Kavanaugh is a dullard and a shitty writer whose colleagues all (albeit for different reasons) very obviously have nothing but contempt for him

This is maybe naive after what happened to Biden but I think if the economy actually improved (rising wages, tighter job market) it would lead to improved perceptions of how the economy is doing bsky.app/profile/emil...

To the extent there is any actual division among the SCOTUS conservatives it's this split between the ideological extremist wing of Alito and Thomas and the strategic/calculating wing lead by Roberts (Kavanaugh siding with the extremists is surprising in this context!) bsky.app/profile/jonm...

Makes you think bsky.app/profile/mich...

There's always a chance it will literally kill him I guess, but what ultimately will matter for the midterms and the political future of Trumpism are perceptions about the state of the economy (driven partially but not only by the objective performance of the economy) bsky.app/profile/coac...
