Akshually you can become bullet proof, he just went too fast. He said the pellets were "mostly" not breaking thr skin beforr he moved up to bullets. You gotta wait until NONE break the skin
I think "i've been clear" or "the the president has been clear on this" has maybe become, for me, the most annoying verbal tic amongst the right in America.
I like it well enough, wpuld love to check it out in the summer
Security at the alleged Winnipeg Airport
I like the security line at the (hypothetical) winnipeg airport, its got lots of natural light. And never many people. Yknow, since it doesnt exist
Know that if ai refer to twitter or tweeting I mean twitter dot com until around nov 2024 after which twitter means bluesky
RAJU: You'll concede this is war?
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us
RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war
REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war
MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.
The paradox with Carney's thinking on the rules based order is that while he says it's dead, he also aligns himself - most recently, with the war in Iran - with the very states who are destroying it, one war crime and violation of the UN Charter at a time.
Thats not what I said at all. I don t think we'rr having the same argument
Thats fine if you feel that way but it doesnt invalidate my original criticism which is that the most reasonable interpretation of "defending our allies", in the context of the question and the text of his answer, is defending the US (and maybe Israel) specifically.
Davos proved he is perfectly capable of making a point clearly but subtly and without naming names if he wants to. I agree he is not a poor communicator. Though sometimes I wonder if he fails to prepare for certain questions. I caught a wee bit of "huh, never thought about it" body language.
A lot of weird Carney defending going on, as if the fact that we're thrilled he isn't PP means we cant also think he's kinda fucking up here.
Which is not to say that I think in his heart of hearts he's on board with trump, but if what he's trying to do here is a Davos-style "criticize the US without naming them" thing, the effect of his words so far has not done that.
...who wish to see it, but all I saw in that statement was deflection of any Canadian complicity. Criticism could have looked like calling it illegal, or saying it wqs wrong, or even saying something like "he has concerns", but he didnt do that and has in fact "supported" the initial strikes
Chad, we've been following eachother long enough that I thoufht you'd give me the benefit of the doubt here. Of course I listened to it. I've simply come to a different conclusion. My whole point is he FAILED to criticize them. His statement is opened to have implicit criticism suggested by those...
Come ooooooooooon the question was about the US, Carney referred to US and Israel by name in referencing the attacks... to suggest in that context that its reasonable to assume that by "allies" he might be talking about Turkey is retconning this into being a good answer
Kids are, on sverage, it seems, nowhere near thr same level of deranged as the previous generations. I find it curious but don't hate it
The don at this place that shall remain nameless was kinda useless. Hence why the parties were so "good"
Yeah, I highly suggest not drinking unfathomable amounts of alcohol (and I never really have since)
After
Also shout out to the slightly more sober girl at the party who very gently suggested I find another pastime and led me away from the window before I tried again. I told her it was an excellent idea.
Ill be clear by the way this wasnt a self-harm attempt. The potential for harm did not occur to me
Not proud of my impulse to stop reading the news, lest it ruin my mental health. But I also value my mental health. But like, shit is getting so, so evil. But I cant afford to go insane. But pretending it isnt happening isnt right. But Ive got bills to pay and doomscrolling doesnt help. But I-
Ill take "8 words that are not 'no' for 200, Alex"
This is instructive of how fascists view things like truth and reality. Hegseth's not literally saying the news is fake, as in it didnt happen, but his reality is that Trump is winning, so he can simultaneously believe that Americans were indeed killed and also that reporting on those deaths is fake
Skeet whatever
I dunno if this second tweet invalidates the first one though?
What was worse: this week, or a week of writing A Skeptics Guide To Hypnosis
To me this is a more valid choice than rooting for them cause you live there. You CHOSE that shit. Bravo
An usher tried to shut gim up amd he replied "Im Americsn its fine"
At the Jets game and a guy behind me loudly boo'd thr American anthem, shouting that Hellybuck was a pedopglhile protector. I wonder if it showed up on thr broadcast.
"Im done with window seats, gimmie an *oil* seat" gotta love it. Also marking off mentuons if Gander and Goose Bay off my bingo card
