as long as a quarter of this country approves and half are unengaged, that 25% whose party owns all branches of government is going to get its way.

Understanding cause and effect (if I hit the snooze button then I’ll get more sleep) and second order thinking (but then I’ll be late for work) are the basics of being an intelligent person.

Unfortunately we decided to elect the dumbest and most spiteful people we could find to the highest offices.

The two polar opposite ideas combined to make an argument is so dumb. But stringing together three is confounding and infuriating. The thing is people just nod and go, “yup. Makes sense,” then fill in the circle next to his name because (R) is next to it. 🫠

The ol’ citizen vs civilian argument from a douche who takes starship troopers way too seriously. While that straightforward thought is more in line with the book, you’d be surprised at the number of soldiers, ESPECIALLY OFFICERS, who didn’t pick up on the irony of the movie. 🫡

glad to see America's prime minister making the case for war to its citizens in a timely manner. 😶

it's a violation in any government area that processes even SECRET level information, let alone a SCIF. who knew the ayatolla and i could've been tracking my steps all thru USASOC and NATO HQs the whole time. 🤐

Amazing work, everyone the OpenAI boycott is working! And thank you to our international supporters who are joining us. Sam Altman is in panic mode he went on X tonight telling users to ask him anything about OpenAI’s Pentagon deal as the boycott of ChatGPT grows.

yeah, well. what do we expect? we contracted out DIPLOMACY to a high-piced realtor and the 40-something son of another high-priced realtor who's still just a spoiled boy with a really expensive toy business. Business and Diplomacy have two completely different end goals.

when attempting to cover up your child abuse crime allegations, killing a bunch more doesn't help your case.

i sat in meetings with 1- abs 2-star generals telling their staff to find places to spend left over money before the end of the fiscal year because they'd lose that amount the next year. and THAT was under the Obama administration.

first we produced crops before moving to manufacturing. now we're a service based economy moving towards a content creating one. only way for MAGA to dominate feeds is to run a war in your own country while spending taxpayer dollars to party.

it's like if someone sold you the rolled up poster of a dragon from under the display in Hot Topic for $100 and told you it might be worth a million dollars one day.
