The Abominable Dr Workman

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Sad-SACK damn autocorrect

Swords and sorcery, dragons and orcs....I can't say I exactly dislike it, but it's never engaging for me. I don't care that your sword has a name.

I can't say it's wholly separate from problems with one of the creators... But the whole "oh poor me I'm a sad-back nebbish" from Woody Allen or Ross from Friends just fills me with rage these days.

The whole "war on cars" whining is really the perfect example of, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

That's a great start, but the next step would be to crawl through his district on his hands and knees, renting his garments and begging forgiveness.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

DHS lies are institutional, not tied to one or several individuals.

I realize this isn't the most important topic right now, and I don't want to #NotAllMen this, but can we stop talking about the overconfidence of mediocre white dudes? I'm a mediocre white dude and I'm not confident at all.

Was the next part of this interview the interviewer asking if Hegseth is stating that ethnic cleansing is the goal of the war, or did he just shrug or look concerned then zip on to the next question?

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

The eventual Nuremberg-style trial of Pete Hegseth for war crimes is going to be must-see TV.

The developers who may lose jobs are not the biggest boosters. The biggest boosters are the tech executives pretending to be developers.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Those who most loudly assert their patriotism are always the first to sell us down the river. Both Johnson and Nigel Farage were in active discussions with Bannon, for whom Brexit was a major prize. Bannon was feeding intelligence back to Epstein, who also wanted the UK out of the European Union.

Or "defiant". How TF can the PotUS be "defiant"?

Like this maybe?

It's interesting though how Americans need to associate their transportation with strength posturing.

Important thread. Read the whole thing. And then... speak out.

Usually they intend to overfill them and let people die

So, so many people fell for the bullshit these guys were peddling. No one has recanted, apologized, vowed to change the way they do things, anything.

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office.

This is looting.

It's not just how we look. The idiots who vote for him, also vote to prevent anything good in the country.

Anything he thinks sounds good about him, he thinks is true.

Masnick: "This is what so many of us kept pointing out throughout the 'Twitter Files' hysteria: the 'free speech' grift was never about protecting individuals from the state. It was about protecting a specific type of speaker from the social consequences of their speech."

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls

It’s going to sweep across the country and kill and maim kids bc Trump put a lunatic grifter in charge of the nation’s public health system

As a former public defender who represented thousands of people, I can’t stop thinking about the contrast the Epstein files raise.

I watched 1000s face swift, devastating punishment for far less serious conduct — poor, marginalized, & presumed dangerous from the start.

I mean the fact that Roddenberry had to position a good future only after a rebuilding period, after a fall of civilization which was seen as inevitable, kind of betrays the zeitgeist.

A cursory review of scifi of the time shows that that's bullshit. Unless you count Roddenberry style "after the brutal fall of civilization we rebuild well".
