"They're making D&D an MMO" is old enough to run for congress

Surf & turf is the classic meal they serve when they’re about to tell you your deployment has been extended so…

They do feed the troops lobster and steak before sending them off to harm’s way/to kill/ or be killed.

I keep thinking about how USAID was destroyed for a fraction of this

$6.9 million of lobster tail in a month????? What would you even do with that much lobster

Indeed, assuming this represents current policy, it is an open admission that the regime change effort has failed, de-nuclearization is likewise impossible or impractical and the only objective that remains is to extricate from a costly failure.

In the 60s it was “suppose they gave a war and nobody came.” Now it’s “suppose we did a war and then said that we didn’t do a war and also we already won the war and we beat you shut up”

We have money for war but not food for kids. We have a priority problem.

It’s day 9 of Trump’s reckless Iran War—and he’s now spent over $9.5 BILLION of your tax dollars. That’s more than USDA spends every year, in every school, on free breakfasts for students in America.

"Meet me in the middle" says the dishonest right-winger, and extends his hand. You take a step forwards, he takes a step back. "Meet me in the middle" says the dishonest right-winger and extends his hand.

There's always 2 needed to tell rightwing political lies, a right-winger who tells the lie & a sensible centrist to believe it because "that's the sensible position & the RWer will surely not go beyond that!"
But the rightwinger WILL go beyond that & the centrist will say his sentence yet again.

we should always remember how "reasonable centrists" helped this happen by giving benefit of doubt to bigots saying "who cares if a boy wears a dress, we just want fair sports and ensure kids don't regret medical transition"..Yet as trans folk SAID would be: RW are already banning social transition.

All I can think of.

government small enough to fit inside every child's bedroom and pick out their clothes every school day

Instead of lowering prices for you, Republicans are busy dreaming up new ways to make the rich even richer.

Here’s their latest idea: sidestepping Congress to hand another giant tax cut to the top 1%.

Libraries are for everybody, or they’re for no one.

Veritasium: What Everyone Gets Wrong About AI and Learning – Derek Muller Explains YouTube video by Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Here's a great talk by @veritasium.bsky.social (at @perimeterinstitute.ca) about how learning really works and why using chatbots to help can backfire youtu.be/0xS68sl2D70

There is no sense in which a chatbot can "help" with your schoolwork by making it easier; if it is easier, it is less useful for actual learning (effortful practice is HOW WE LEARN) and therefore the chatbot has not helped, but has only hindered.

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

It's been well over 10 years now, and nobody close to him has even bothered to tell him that's not what seeking asylum is.

Alongside "If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the poor" we can add "If one penalty for a crime is impeachment, then the law only exists for the Democrats".

I believed last time and believe even harder this time that impeachment should be introduced so frequently it might as well function as a congressional roll call

I can’t fathom an argument against it that isn’t rooted in apathy at best and acquiescence at worst

Extremely funny how he's openly doing this on the behalf of Israeli intelligence and no one cares

Its exactly what you think it is, yet its still gobsmacking-ly dumb. Really fucking unbelievable shit.

I do think that WSJ piece about Lindsey Grahm is pretty useful when figuring out where Trump's at: they're playing word association games with him so he coughs out stock phrases

One of the key ways to see how all the talk about Lebanese sovereignty is a mirage is to look at what specifically DC and Paris give Lebanon in the form of military assistance. They very specifically do not want a peer state to Israel but a state just capable enough of internal policing of Lebanese.

Nobody in the West seems to be arguing that the territorial integrity of Syria, which is in fact under constant threat, necessitates the construction of a state of the art air force subsidized to the tune of tens of billions of dollars.

Amy likes to smile. I've never asked her to smile

Per the @nytimes.com, Israel “raids” or “claims” parts of neighboring countries — it doesn’t invade or occupy them

Watched a gen z dude's video where he's like I FOUND A FLOPPY DISK!
It's a zip drive, friends
