It’s clear that Hegseth is just spouting toxic action hero slogans, yes.

But also words have meaning: many combatants will hear “no quarter” and act accordingly. Horrifyingly, our own war fighters may take this as instruction to commit abuses and atrocities.

Bad. Extremely bad.

Death Valley, the hottest and driest place in North America, is experiencing a rare wildflower bloom after receiving a record amount of rain in the fall. Visitors are flocking to see the superbloom that has transformed the desert, dotting the landscape with pops of color. nyti.ms/4cLvINC

Robot Battle V clean artwork by Hiroshi 'Kow' Yokoyama used for promoting the NEC PC-88 version on LOGiN magazine in Japan. Image depicts a bi-pedal mech with massive metal feet and shoulder mounted missiles, casting its spotlights at a spider like mech while shooting from its gatling gun positioned in the middle. The spider mech returns fire in the same fashion. There's a dark background with some smoke clouds down below and some fire particles being scattered.

My attempt to restore the artwork of Robot Battle V by Hiroshi 'Kow' Yokoyama used for promoting the #NEC #PC88 version on LOGiN magazine in Japan. Removed text, taking very few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

That is crazy! But isn’t it obvious?

Not to be crude but [for real!] its quite simple… Kat’s hot 🔥

That dude’s a snake in a snake pit. Vance would betray Trump, his mother, or every hillbilly in Appalachia to accrue power.

Carl Sagan explores the intimate connection between human life and the stellar life cycle. He explains that heavy elements in our bodies (carbon, oxygen, iron) were created inside stars. This details stellar evolution, from birth to death, including white dwarfs, supernovae, and black holes.

They’re attacking Talarico because they are un-American and he represents he represents the better place America can be.

Around this time of year, I always remember this picture of the Kharkiv railway station four years ago and the people trying to evacuate.

​It was the first few weeks of the Russian full-scale invasion. Our air defense wasn't properly established yet, and Russian bombers were free to drop air bombs.

Agree. The job of voters is to get rid of them.

Socipathic and illiberal

Elites Aren't Much Savvier Than MAGA They're both easy marks for Donald Trump.

The economist Alan Cole recently became a folk hero for betting his life savings that DOGE would fail, and winning. But it turns out the Musk and Trump loyalists he took to the cleaners are only slightly more gullible than political, financial, and media elites. www.offmessage.net/p/elites-mag...

Tooooooo oooooooold!

If I were in the White House press corps, I would bait Trump with this question:

Mr. President with the wild success you’ve had first in Venezuela, and now Iran, when do you expect we
might conduct military operations in Cuba and Greenland?

Democrats should be saying this now.

Not NEARLY enough

not a lot of blue dots! (anywhere)

Hahaha - these are the same people who bought $MELANIA

…what Trump would call “suckers”

Like that, except that the toys are heaps of ruined lives, destroyed economies, loose military grade weapons, and antagonized nation states and civilian populations.

If you’re unable to follow the news as well as an average anonymous shitposter like me you’re unqualified to hold elected office.

1000% And actually the unwillingness to compromise is itself immoral, or
at least unserious. It results in *worse* outcomes.

You have people preening with purist or extremist views, pretending to be righteous or strong. But then our lives are worse when we lose.

Winning is a moral imperative.

Perhaps, but the *direction* of travel is wrong.
