And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

It’s wild to be this is in some… room?… and they just set up a fucking curtain.

Can you imagine knowing this little about a place you are on TV to discuss?

Yep, same shit happened in the 1980s when a nuclear war with the Soviet Union was not far fetched.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Can you imagine if Bush did this? Even in the post 9/11 environment it would be inconceivable.

Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

People who are too incompetent to host an Olympic hockey team just kicked off world war 3 to make their boss feel better about himself. Awesome.

Serious question: the article says all six branches of the military are involved. What does the Coast Guard do in CENTCOM?

Dammit Hippo. You soothsayer.

What is there to debate? For F’s sake.

Well, the man is a Nazi. I’m unsure why this is difficult for people to grasp.

Autism helps. Find yourself a friend who likes memorizing Swiss train schedules and also knows when the fella at the mechanics shop is full of shit.

There are lawyers and there are social media lawyers. Social media lawyers may have law degrees and maybe once were lawyers, but social media lawyers are a very different kind of person.

Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.

I’m sorry man

I wonder if Chuck even gives a shit. Like what kind of person do you have to be to be Chuck Schumer.

Well apropos of nothing the Bel Air Lip Bombs newest album is a great listen at 3am.

This is your moment!

That is what is scary about that article re: AI and nuclear war. The AI will not have control over our forces. Dudes who think the AI is smarter than human strategists do.

I learned after watching that movie a couple of months ago that the Navy only banned smoking on submarines in 2010. (!)

The most annoying variety of nouveau riche are millennials that inherited a fuck ton of money from their boomer relations and then pretend they somehow earned it or otherwise are morally entitled to be asses.

You should try working with vendors of legal practice management software. Same thing with the added benefit of them hating you because they assume all lawyers are wealthy.

Amtrak!? (Noticing the bench you are on).

Tribbles!

It’s insane. He rambles like a concussed Gomer Pyle.

The Decaying Legal Culture in the Defense Department Trump and Hegseth will leave the uniformed military damaged by illegality, and Congress will be complicit

This is an extremely important piece by @jacklgoldsmith.bsky.social about the evisceration of legal norms and processes (and workforce) within DOD. Similar things happening at DOJ, the IC, etc., but the effects at DOD are as calamitous as anywhere.

Pretty sure that guy lived across from me in college.

I meant it more in the sense of “anyone who has cash can buy a military rank and position, no matter how little you know about anything, as long as you swear fealty to the empire.”
