Woke Zero (Original Recipe)

This is the revival promo headshot of an AME Sr. Pastor

Aside from everyone else, if Marco Rubio received unanimous confirmation from every Democrat for any real reason, it was to prevent exactly this scenario. And yet here it is!

Let this be a lesson: there are no smart or competent Republicans.

There was a pretty obvious point in 2024 where everybody with any **power** in this country decided “let’s get Trump back in office and just give him everything he wants and hope for the best” and, well, here we are

At least we got Heated Rivalry and Connor Storrie’s butt.

"President Trump could never have backed the Iranians into a corner and they fired off their doomsday weapon as a result"

Like if these reports are true we are pretty much locked in for a global energy crisis! And it’s not anonymous reporting, the president is tweeting “Iran! Remove your mines forthwith!” And it’s not even on the NYT front page

It’s not like mining will change the amount of traffic through Hormuz, which will go from zero to zero, but it immediately makes the fallout global and irreversible, by ensuring that traffic remains zero for the foreseeable future. Which is why it’s odd it’s getting only moderate press attention

What’s the effect of Trump raising oil prices on his best friend Vladimir Putin?

If/when a deMAGAfication of US ever occurs it must begin with the Roberts Court without which none of this would be possible

The Snapback could fix Texas. I believe this in my heart.

Another crazy thing is that this doesn't really seem like a joint operation but rather two separate tangentially related forces attacking the same enemy. It all sounds like there isn't really any command over this.

this conflict is stupid, wrong, and infuriating

Every trans suicide is murder. Do not ever fucking talk to me about "fairness in sports." Do not talk to me about Gavin Newsom. Nothing you have to say matters more than trans children living to adulthood.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.

But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.

When we will stop giving the power of life and death to people who do not take it seriously?

Already Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Ruben Ray Martinez, Keith Porter Jr., and dozens of people in immigration detention have been murdered because this useless old man wanted to feel powerful.

why?

Servicemembers of the United States armed forces will probably die because this useless old man in the White House wanted to feel powerful.

Like if cis people, particularly cis men, needed a medical intervention to remain cisgender and the government took it away we all know what would happen. To me this is no different. You can’t just bully people in an unlimited way.

Or at least Merely Morally Mediocre.

In absolute 100% seriousness i think violating the terms of service is a morally acceptable response to this.

They’re calling it the best-planned war of all time

I do think based on this you could teach an LLM to write good poetry, actually. None of the existing models are optimized for it but I think it’s doable. And on some spiritual level I am unbothered by this. You won’t run out of good poetry and maybe you’ll learn something along the way.

You put a thought into the little machine of the poem and it comes out the other side as a better thought with a little body made of words why is this not the only thing anybody ever does.

Oh I guess the Hulk, Jekyll and Hyde, and Marty McFly.

I was forced by poetry against my will to write depressing werewolf sonnets to sit next to my fun funny Disney villain sonnets. So far I have Don Draper, Walter White, any American police officer, Ilya Rozonov, Derek Hale, Ghost from Power sorta but really Jay-Z, and myself as werewolves. Who else?

What if I move back home and go to law school. I guess I don’t want to do evil law though.

I just don’t understand why the times is still putting out anti-trans hate pieces. Surely they get less clicks by the day. But I guess Jesse Singal needs a check and his buddies don’t want him to fail.
