The people who obsess over the definition of what a woman is should be asked to define what a war is.

Trump: "A lot of our people were walking around without legs"

This is a novel variety of "liberation"

A vision of the Free Winemom Brigades I expect to form in the next two years

I get that he's 1) bloodthirsty and 2) raging against the dying of the light, but I really suspect this is dementia too. 2016 Trump was too smart for *this.*

Which has already been militarily crippled! Maybe if we just get a few more jets in the vicinity Iran will coronate Pahlavi.

Five years before the war over Kosovo, Eliot Cohen published a widely cited article in Foreign Affairs, “The Mystique of US Air Power.” He argued, “Air power is an unusually seductive form of military strength, in part because, like modern courtship, it appears to offer gratification without commitment."

Friends on both sides of the Atlantic: I regret to inform you Sir Keir is Hegsethposting

I am personally responsible for Alex Trebek lending his voice to a project preserving the correspondence of Canadian servicemen in World War I

also I’m pretty sure that “keeping the strait of hormuz closed is by orders of magnitude the most impactful thing Iran could do in this conflict” has occurred to a lot of people at this point

chief among them Iran

I find "drinking the Kool Aid" as an idiom to be wildly offensive

it's really bad for the world that half of the American political system has convinced itself that the concept of diplomacy is fake and gay

Interesting! What are the limits exactly?

like i said this when the US attacked venezuela. we are hurdling back into an extremely violent world, one which hasn't really existed since the 1700s and which nobody since hitler has really tried to enact. and it's entirely on trump's hands

Equally racist as and less committed to democracy than Woodrow Wilson

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

Tire shop down the road's marquee is currently "SPRING FLOWERS, NEW TIRES," which is a rhyme only in the fifty-mile radius around the sign

I hadn't really thought about it much before, but Protestant ecclesiology puts an implied priority on the minister as a leader of the church, and so it's very different to be gathered in prayer for others in a way that's not executing the "production" of a service.

I was invited to read Scripture at a prayer vigil for peace last night, which was very small, and largely clergy.

Maybe it was the Catholic environment, but it's a unique feeling--as a Protestant--to feel as if I was operating as a priest for the people, rather than "leading worship."

It’s not a war you fucking idiots. It’s an exchange of violence between two polities to impose a political outcome through conflict.

It is actually very funny to be like "buck up, guys! Full steam ahead. No need to fear as you ride through a warzone on top of a million barrels of explosive liquid"

I can't be a finite mortal being in a decaying frame, look at all these bombs I can drop
