Bessent is Treasury Secretary. He also worked in investment and hedge funds for a long time. All this naturally makes him an expert sea-mines savant

They're taking their usual approach of just lying about things and thinking that will shape reality. And that works for like...bullshit political theater and legacy media that's owned by your cronies. Not so helpful when you need to confront material reality in a war you start for no reason.

This is wild shit. Truly.

I hate all of this so much. My heart breaks.

It is the civilians who suffer in Palestine, Lebanon, and the wider region — sacrificed at the altar of colonialism and religious extremism, forced to audition for their humanity on the social media stage, and left to bury their own children beneath their war-scarred soil.

It’s even more sinister than this if you take into account extremist evangelical views about the need for conflict in the region before the return of Christ. They require war in SWANA/MENA.

Everyone is someone else’s pawn in a colonial, theological, or legal face-off.

Since we're done calling it a special military operation we can move on to them making incredibly stupid plans of action like land invasions that have no chance of succeeding and just kill a lot of people.

if you let Donald Trump of all people fuck with The Money you don’t get to complain when anyone else does, those are the rules

these guys are gonna pop back up when a dem is president and like nothing happened opine that some policy or other is "bad for the economy." they must be mercilessly struck about the snout with rolled up newspapers and ordered to lie down.

no actually im a tough guy clomping around in shoes three sizes too big you must respect me

one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl

MANY MANY DIG DIG

More statue pfps suggesting we build hundreds of miles of road with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of infrastructure to alleviate a crisis that has already begun. Truly the marketplace of ideas, that website is.

All we get in our media are discussions about total costs and gas prices and inflation. We dehumanize everyone. Every person is second to the spreadsheet.

If you care about artists online, wether NSFW or not, you MUST write a comment. And it's simple to just write a comment there. Please go save your artists, and yourself if you are one.

you've probably seen this, but I learned the basic of stick throwing (like Paralympians do) and look, in traditional delivery you have your whole body to provide momentum, spin, action necessary to aim true. this method, you only have your wrist; it is *exponentially* more difficult. masterful shot.

holy shit

“Has any theory been more discredited than gravity? Turns out you can just throw things up and they never come down lmao”

blowback is, like, "you destabilized the region and damaged your long term interests". this is just "if you shoot people they shoot back"

what's so funny about this is that it's barely even blowback. like this isn't some unexpected consequence, we went to war with Iran and as a result of that we are at war with Iran. someone who understands the abstract idea of cause and effect could have predicted this

RIP to everyone killed by the gods for their hubris but I'm different. and better. maybe even better than the gods

Literally this meme but for International Relations.

it will do nothing to diminish his Serious Thinker credibility with Matt Yglesias

another thing Trump has done is completely fuck up counterterrorism efforts. got a piece on this @prospect.org coming tomorrow

its only been like a week and this is already one of the stupidest things anyone's ever posted

I can't say that I'll be boycotting Chili's as it has been years since I've been in one, and you can't really boycott a restaurant you already don't go to. That said, I'll be happy not to change my habits, transphobia leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

This guy is the King of Zorlax now he's never coming home he doesn't want to come home
