Well That's Just Great

I have been reading stories about supposed trump voters and podcasters expressing regret since before Charlottesville, stop giving them oxygen you absolutely rubes

when i think of the ultimate team player to come give a pep talk, i think of the guy who broke the code and loudly claimed credit for something he may not have done

But in all things, the smart money is on yes.

It's 2026...

Trump posted this meme.

Obama’s Iran deal did unfreeze Iran’s own money, but allowed for nuclear inspectors so they wouldn’t ever get a nuclear bomb.

Trump tore up the deal, started a war in Iran, and now 13 U.S. soldiers are dead.

Tico, the derpiest greyhound you’ve ever seen.

Did this the other night and I was graced with this look.

oh to have a smidgen of the kind of protection that stupid and legitimately evil white boys get

Nazi rhetoric from the Nazi president of the United States of America

Free message for Democrats on taxes: We will use them to improve people's lives instead of killing people for no reason.

It’s truly hurt my local baseball team, the Los Angeles Do—*taps earpiece* wait what

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.

This is not a joke.

We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

THE WORLDWIDE FLAG OF ANTIFASCIST RESISTANCE

hand up for me on this as well.

I was pro-legalization for a bunch of reasons that were naive in retrospect and I sent way too many "I'm betting on an obscure sporting event 🤪🤪🤪 and you can too!" posts

I didn't anticipate how quickly gambling would rot through everything it touched

I mean, yeah, that's exactly why Hegseth is doing it. It's vice signaling for a domestic audience. The cool thing is that we might get to see him cry on the stand of The Hague for it. That's a good enough reason to keep living.

yet another thing to put in our back pocket. "ship em to the Hague" is a completely valid option for a long and growing list of people who need to be dealt with

This is crucially important point.

1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term

2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post

No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning"

got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

30 years ago tonight:

We all know how Trump’s Iran War ends. With the military doing what they were ordered to do very well, Trump failing to achieve what he promised, costing taxpayers a fortune, America’s standing in the world diminished, higher gas prices & inflation, with Trump declaring victory.

I remember when Barack Obama had to denounce Jeremiah Wright.

ok i’m done paying attention to trump re iran.

he has no idea what’s going on and no plan.

we are now firmly in early pandemic territory. it’s may 2020.

he will soon argue that oil prices would stop rising if only the media would promise to stop reporting on oil prices rising.

One day when I was wearing my Jalen Hurts jersey a bus driver for the WDW Swan and Dolphin hotels slowed down in the Animal Kingdom parking lot, opened his window, and gave @gogogreyhound.bsky.social and I a loud "Go Birds!" undoubtedly to the confusion of most of his passengers. V

He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.

we should make American voters get a tattoo on their arm that says DON'T TRUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY because otherwise they're basically all that guy from Memento every second election cycle.

No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers.

We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadn’t caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines

Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.

Gilligan paddles a tiny raft out of the lagoon while being pursued by a mine in an episode of Gilligan's Island.

I assume they weren't worried about the mines because AI told them that they could always have Gilligan paddle through the Strait of Hormuz wearing his chain and Mr Howell's watch and the mines would just follow.

Gilligan, Mr Howell, and the Professor huddle around a grounded sea mine in one of the dozens of profoundly unfunny episodes of Gilligan's Island that are hardwired into my brain

And if there are mines, we have our best and brightest non-DEI experts working the problem
