“We destroyed 30 ships.” Does that mean ships can pass through the strait of Hormuz? “We dropped dozens of 2K bombs on underground launchers.” Does that mean commercial airliners can fly through?
"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026
That's just one generic example. But doing this type of thing requires a bit of time & good research & analytical tools. It CANNOT be done by a LLM/LIM. My professional experience is it cannot & should not be done by intel professionals as it is a very different skillset than what they have. 15/
being 100% petty and sassy is the way to go
Man had this shit locked and loaded
In short, Kristi Noem has not succeeded in achieving dictatorial control of the population of the US via DHS. Trump is trying a new strategy aimed at the same goal.
Thanks to the brave people of the Twin Cities and everyone all around the country who is fighting back.
This fight is far from over.
every day my wife and I become these two a little bit more and I love it
What @timmiller.bsky.social and the Bulwarkers still don't seem to get is that the vast majority of gettable voters do not give half a slivered fuck about this stuff. And for the ones that do, if Talarico drives his strong core message, it crams this stuff back into perspective.
This is a screenshot of Professor Jiang, the fella who is getting a lot of credit for predicting maybe two years ago that Trump would return and declare war on Iran, as he does another lecture for us all about why America is goung to lose this one (it's because our allies like Qatar and Bahrain import all their damn food through the straight of hormuz which the war has now closed)
You know Prof Jiang is cooking with gas when he starts underlining words like "FOOD"
Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”
Took that leaked database of proposed changes to the historic presentations at national sites and mapped them. www.pbump.net/o/heres-wher...
My opinion: Jamelle Bouie is the best national political columnist in America. This doesn’t mean he is always right or you always need to agree with him. But he consistently elevates the form. Conservatives and liberals who make deranged personal attacks on him just make themselves look bad.
Vietnamese Americans teaming up with the South is like the Godzilla x Kong of food
CNN has a solid, well-funded newsroom, regardless of the network’s editorial slant. a lot of good reporters will lose their jobs, and the public will lose all the stories they would’ve reported. and they are one of the last newsrooms to pay for costly but critical on the ground war correspondents.
no such thing as other people's children

nice
do not hate on this man
he is 100% correct
WE LOVE THE N64 *BECAUSE* IT SUCKS AND IS GOOFY
stop lying
I found that this is wrong. Democracy actually is a powerful motivating force for a critical slice of the population *if they perceive a real threat*.
I call this the "legibility" theory of democratic backsliding: the more legible the threat, the more likely it is to prompt effective pushback.
“The democrats need to be more culturally normal” fucking you first, Gavin
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

is this man for real lol
NEW: I spoke to the sex workers organizing a union at Sheri's Ranch, a brothel in Nevada, about a contract that they say could threaten their right to control their images online. The fight is already serious: since the drive began, four workers have been fired. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
NEW: After years of bargaining, unionized editorial staff at Fortune have won their first contract for both digital and print employees with @nyguild.bsky.social!
The deal lifts wages 11% for the life of the deal, provides job security protections and more.

“This is an important win not just for The Handbasket but for the promise of transparency in DC. The court’s ruling vindicates the public’s right of access to body cam footage, and ensures that the public will get a full and accurate accounting of the episode at the US Institute of Peace last year.”
In my experience, when you try talking to any non journo civilian about maintaining pure objectivity in news coverage, they react to you like you're telling them 2+2=5. They know it's bullshit!
just the most likely crew to do this
“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”
she did it! her! way!!
