defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.

Iran’s Control of Hormuz Means It’s Exporting More Oil Today Than Before the War Tehran is letting ships carrying its crude pass through the strait, while it scares off others that would dare.

An amazing stat:

Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war.

It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz.

I’d argue that you can trace this back even further all the way back to the civil war when the army was beginning to intellectualize

I can guarantee that only the top 1% most clueful of Christians even know Jesus spoke Aramaic. You'd probably get an amazingly large fraction claiming "the original King James English"

i have to genuinely run academic/historical-critical biblical facts by my family sometimes and it genuinely blows their mind sometimes

The line in the sand will always be moving closer and closer to you. This should piss you off, and if it doesn't, I dont wanna hear you bitching when furries in general are prohibited.

"Human like knee orientation." lmao?

None of them can talk coherently about strategy or goals but they are completely in sync in all their macho posturing because that is all they’re really focused on. Everything else is just whatever limply offered fiction is convenient to them at the time.

it's so darkly funny the idiotic right-wing side of MilTwitter wants to purge the war colleges because of Tom Nichols

shamefully i have an easier time with chopsticks than i do with the right hand fork and me using chopsticks looks like i need someone to cut up my food into safe bites for me

I'm convinced.

Honestly, the Iranian propaganda has been kinda compelling.

Is this propaganda? Yes.

Is it accurate? Also yes.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

'Greed is good' was a satirical catchphrase that became like a mantra for many gross creeps in the 80s

Viciouness and greed come in waves, dressed up as tough pragmatism.

And to be clear I don’t think that means an entire generation is screwed or full of bad people, in fact I think a lot about the kids who are trying to do their best and be moral in a world that teaches them to be immoral

This was already happening when I was in high school so right before Trump got elected and now I can’t even imagine

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

Antisemite. Please block and report.

This is not just a military thing, btw. I know sought-after American “Afghanistan policy experts” who couldn’t name the 4 languages commonly spoken in Afghanistan. Some can’t name both official languages.

So since Wuthering Heights has been talked to death I just wanted to share the fun fact that Celine Dion's hit "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" is fully about Heathcliff digging up Cathy's corpse.

Like, he is singing this Celine Dion song to her. I'm dead serious. Also so is Cathy.

you could write an incredible sitcom set around the Kabul government.

the Forever Wars are still underused for tragicomedy, honestly, but 'Arabic interpreter gets deployed to Afghanistan' is a good starting premise
