*America kicks a hornet’s nest*
Republicans: Let’s praise Trump for having the guts to kick a hornet’s nest
Sane people: What’s the plan after kicking the nest?
Republicans: Why can’t you just be happy he kicked the nest?
They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.
Weird.
I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.
Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

Grok being wrong: The Onion does have (hilarious) print editions, but this specific "Sam Altman" piece isn't from them—or any real outlet. It's a custom meme image made to look like one, floating around since at least February. Spot on for the satire though!
Wrong again, dumbass
CHINA: "The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years. The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions. The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability."
Where is the lie?
they renamed it the Department of War so it would be that much easier to just add “Crimes” at the end of it
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
trickle down economics is bull shit and if you believe it then you are stupid. great replacement is bull shit and if you believe it then you are racist. vaccines are safe and effective and if you believe otherwise you should be shunned from society
Steven Pinker ® @sapinker • Follow I have no relationship with Epstein & have taken no funding from him. Our circles have occasionally overlapped: In 02, my lit agent invited me to join a group of east-coast TED speakers Epstein flew to CA. In 14, Krauss seated me next to him at a lunch, & someone snapped a photo. 11:09 PM • Jul 10, 2019 from Provincetown, N C
Pinker, Steven <Pinker, Steven> to Lesley Groff Mar 28, 2012 5:47 PM star_border Dear Unfortunately I'm out of town that day, but if Jeffrey is around on Monday the 16th, I'll be back and would be delighted to meet with him. Best, Steve
Okay then
This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.
Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...
I wonder if people are paying attention to how much their doom scrolling is cutting into time they used to use to read books
not sure she understands how elections are supposed to work
A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.
I found this to be inspiring.

Correct. Now is the time to be very clear on the fact that you don't give a fucking inch to fascists. Not on anything. Not ever. Everything they are doing is per se illegitimate. The very minimum you demand is an immediate, across-the-board return to regular democratic order and norms. Nothing less.
Oh well. If only RFK Jr. were to get hit with extreme cases of Epstein-Barr, herpes, and shingles at once we might be able to fix this. Even then, he'll probably just push raw milk with a grok chaser.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
One more quick thread, and then I'm getting out of here to walk my dog in the sun.
I think a lot about the authoritarian personality. I won't start going on about that because this thread would last forever, but I just want to say one thing about it.

In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.
The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect
One thing that's fun is that if you're black and you don't have much experience, it's woke dei if you get the job, and if you're black and you have all the experience in the world, you're an out of touch elite who is not really black and doesn't deserve the job.
Do NOT get my hopes up.
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

CNN headline that says Trump delivers a deadly blow to EPA’s ability to regulate climate pollution
The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.
It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.
