Nothing says "operational excellence" like "3 Jets were lost due to friendly fire".

The word you are looking for, Tom, is "bad." A demented authoritarian illegally and immorally bombing a foreign country is bad.

The Paradox of Trump: Military operations are highly competent* yet strategically inept

*they are not highly competent

Working As Intended

aside: I have come to despise the word "nuance" - it has been ruined by genitally-obsessed genocidal bigots

"nuance" is where they hide the demand that you accept 'just a little' discrimination and segregation 'allies' are comfortable with giving up for you.

A reminder about my extremely cool lesbian robot girl 🥹

Self identifying as a Tough Unsupervised Latchkey Hose Water Kid is clearly turning some Gen Xers into reactionaries. Wild to see people who are 1 to 5 years older than me behaving this way. I can only conclude that merely telling people they are part of a generation is bad for their brains.

If the AI girlfriend can only tell you about the sex she's having and can't crank you off, you're being cucked by the computer. Your gamer chair is a cuck chair now

They assumed war means instant oil and supply go up. What do you mean damage to infaatructure? What do you mean armed insurgency riding on a new wave of anti american sentiment?

i don't think anyone at the time expected reagan tearing solar panels off the white house to spite jimmy carter would be such a significant metaphor for the 21st century

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

"what's your gender?"

"i'm descended from a man and a woman, so i'm mixed heritage"

tenchi masaki from tenchi muyo dressed in a grey schoolgirl uniform walks through a scifi scanner thingie

a computer screen showing his skeleton and a DNA strand, captioned dialog reads "everything looks okay"

the space cop or whatever says "but did you know your frame is very masculine?"

tenchi says "uh, i... have a father who's a man"

it's a pleasant surprise if you find a crossdressing character in a 90s anime and the joke being told is funny

Honestly 'Yuri is a cis man despite the subs constantly they/themming them' was never going to work given that Yuri has, by now, spent a LOT of time as a woman and enjoys it every time.

Lol redditors who insist Yuri is a manly male cis man are not eating well.

'Actually every woman on this ship barring Yuriko is a raging lesbian, and you better not forget it'

Notably this is during a 'Yuri is a girl' loop, they really don't want you forget SQ is a raging lesbian.

Queer rights? No, queer wrongs.

Believe it or not, Gnosia has one TMA character, which is more than She-ra which has zero.

On one hand, chuds believe that in Japan there is no woke and no queer; on the other, a specific sort of American children's cartoon adults also believe that in Japan there are no queer people and anime could never possibly contain queer subjects. Anyway:

Starmer from the very beginning has managed to have the worst of both worlds: saying in the House of Commons they've learned the lessons of Iraq and refusing to assist US forces, then, immediately, reneging and allowing the US to do so for "defensive" action, but having incurred the ire of Trump.

The thing about the #MeToo movement is that when I learnt as a teen about systemic racism, the weight of it felt Lovecraftian. Like my eyes had been opened to a new side of reality, and I would forever be changed. All this pain and suffering I had been unknowingly complicit in. 1/?

Something that speaks to a sudden decline in our society is the amount of people I’ve seen lately approaching stop signs and then going right through them like “nope, don’t believe in this anymore!”

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to...

This dystopian future is here now.

"Emily, who NPR is only identifying by her first name because she fears retribution from the federal government, says she followed an ICE vehicle at a safe distance into a parking lot.

In every era, you'll find people who view others through the predominant technological metaphor of their time, and the worst among them forget the metaphor and simply view other humans as equivalent to the predominant technology of their time.

"I think the LLM is conscious" makes a lot more sense when you realize a lot of people don't grasp the interiority of other people.

If you view other people as a series of inputs and utilities, it makes a lot of sense that you would see inert code awaiting your prompt as conscious.

That's kind of the thing.

The *state* of Israel actually does have no right to exist. No state does.
