Desarrayed

the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings

I know it's not as horrific as a tan suit, but the President of the United States wore a fucking ball cap to honor the return of the remains of U.S. soldiers killed in battle. That happened.

Class will always out.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

My thing with Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is that it seems to want the credit, but not the responsibility of the book

YESSSSSS

My child gets over things within days while my cold lasts at least 2 and a half weeks

Time is cruel

"We must stop the terror. I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now watch this drive."

Same as it ever was

Have to say I’m living for ballet and opera absolutely stomping on Timothee Chalamet

All I can picture is Trump, Hegseth, et al, imaging that the entire region will destroy itself and they’ll swoop in

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.

this is unspeakable

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

I like to imagine they’re guarding their own future prisons

From the AP story this is based on: apnews.com/article/suic...

“Lethal autonomy without human authorization” sounds a lot like building legal indemnity and plausible deniability into your murder schemes.

It's not a war, but if it is don't worry we already won it

that "our limited understanding" is doing all the heavy lifting

our??

nothing like when people tell on themselves

This is the Platonic ideal of a social media exchange, never again to be equaled or even attempted:

the dudes who desperately want The Matrix to be real so that they can smugly assert that they "knew it all along"

Like a lot of things rich guys believe and fund, the AI consciousness thing is in part driven by a desire to abscond from the responsibility of what they've made. It also explains why so many of them think we're in a simulation. Doesn't matter if everybody died if we're all just 1s and 0s baby!

This is mass murder

This is now my favorite one-act play on Bluesky

“I lack the critical thinking skills (and basic research cabilities) to explain something, so it must be unexplainable”

i understand that rural democrats frequently have to run against the party and don’t even begrudge them that, but the idea that rural america gets left out of big, national democratic infrastructure initiatives is just typical rural grievance mongering

the IRA is an unfortunate example of the failure of the non-bigoted theory of popularism

it was a good law that poured piles of money into infrastructure (in rural areas!) and they got zero credit for it from the people who complain about those sorts of things, because the complaining is the point

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

When your loyalty to the president overrides your love for your son

oh, the upcoming psychological textbook examples that conservatives will be supplying
