The CTU are basically the leftist Illuminati the way republicans running as democrats talk about them

They give you boxes to type what you really think of Vallas

Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

This dude really won't stop until he gets another shot at destroying yet another school district

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

The US and Israel have bombed at least 13 hospitals and health facilities in Iran and one in Lebanon.

My dad's a retired mechanic & a Vietnam vet. He fixed cars for 50+ years. He's never been buff, has had hair like John Denver for most of my life, never had a beard, and enjoys model trains.

The idea that "blue collar" = roided out dudes w/no interests other than anger management problems is a lie

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

Rahm Emanuel's coverup of Laquan McDonald's death can't be forgotten Democrats can embrace police reform or Rahm Emanuel as ambassador to Japan — but not both.

And, fuck Rahm.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

These are the names of the schoolgirls Trump and Hegseth murdered in Iran.

Both the US and the UK have been reacting to a perceived prior era of liberalism, political correctness, multiculturalism, moral relativism, and tolerance for my entire life. I will soon be 48 years old.

Hegseth talking about "politically correct wars of the past" is particularly galling when you remember how much of the War on Terror was framed as responding to the supposed "failure of multiculturalism."

Here’s what GWOT vets said about the restrictive, woke rules of engagement they dealt with in Iraq

I interviewed a whole bunch of Iraq war vets who told me that their rules of engagement just got looser and looser as the quagmire progressed.

Outside the Israeli consulate in downtown Chicago this afternoon, security guards are maneuvering some barricades around a small group of anti-war protesters to box them in and away from commuters going into Ogilvie.

As one of many directly harmed by Noem’s leadership, I really hope that there is not a cessation of calls for abolishing the entirety of DHS. It was rotten with her and it will be rotten without her.

If you’ve worked with me on whistle stuff, you should totally talk to S.E. Smith! Spread the word about the good work

Kent Brockman looking pleased with himself while anchoring the news. He is seemingly unaware of a graphic on screen showing his face with the caption "Brockman in trouble"

Those two guys are buddies now, btw.

Hello internet friends! I am working on a feature about the people making whistles and popup leftist supply depots and looking for people to talk to; sometimes casting a wide net yields people I haven't found yet! I am in touch with Bree and Courtney, but if YOU are a whistle logistician...

your new DHS secretary, everyone:

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

Like, if you're holding this up to say SEE AI IS KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE well I have terrible news to tell you about the US Military for the last forever years.

This is horrific but also the military has a long history of targeting innocents based on outdated intel, so I wouldn't exactly call this a new problem or an AI-specific problem.

In another life when I worked at a bar a patron had just bought a new iPhone and conflated "water resistant" and "waterproof." Trying to impress his friends, dude dropped the whole thing into a pint of beer and was absolutely shocked it bricked at the table.

This is cool. Eventually I would like to see it used to support markets and food deserts and not restaurants or catering companies. The space certainly exists.

A reminder to post gift links to articles if you have access to them. They help people who can't easily access paywalled articles to access them.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
