i think, sometimes, about the Franco-Prussian war

an absolute moron, at the head of an army the whole world still feared, baited into an idiotic war of choice.

sure, the last time they'd fought a peer was a generation ago. but this was the best army in the world. they'd figure something out.

I feel like if democrats spent this year messaging β€œDonald Trump sent your kids to die so his family could buy another golden toilet” we might get impeachment going.

He’s using sarcasm to do the opposite of that.

They’re both bad, but one of them is having a vastly greater impact on casualty counts in the present day. To blandly say they’re both bad in response to recent events is to minimize the one that’s killing little girls by the school-full.

God that’s optimistic.

Same as the 2009-2016 "look forward not back" guy who got us to Trump in the first place.

They’re convinced that’s the issue on which the left is most vulnerable rhetorically and they want the right to remain ascendant. The more obscene the Trump administration gets the more hysterically they will spew their hatred of trans people.

Biden gave a passable speech in 2024 and that bought him enough goodwill with the commentariat that they ignored his mental decline for another six months.

They quite literally do, however dishonest that representation is.

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

I think you’re right but it is worth noting that, per the β€œFlight 93 Election” argument from Trump 1, part of how they did it was framing things the opposite way.

The bald faced lying is much older than 10 years, that’s how we got to Trump in the first place.

I don't think people appreciate enough the fact that, at a time where global warming was approaching an inflection point yet renewable energy was finally becoming economically viable, we decided to squander that opportunity because literal death cultists decided we needed Infinite Bullshit Machines.

essential context: xAI needs more money than Musk can raise privately, so it needs to go public, but it can’t go public on its own because it’s a trash fire. so he has absorbed it into SpaceX so they can go public together, and now he desperately needs to tell a story about space and AI together

Starter packs are the way to go. Even if you don't want to follow them wholesale you can click through to see who is on the ones that sound interesting and pick the most appealing selection within.

The CIA, and the national security state generally, was strong enough to defeat Congress once it belatedly realized it might need to claw back some power.
