Is it time for the “worst alum of your high school” prompt again?

I was thinking about just that meme the other day, prompted by bsky.app/profile/bret..., but I was a little too lazy to dig it up.

"But you'd have to be a subliterate, brainless, incurious, uninformed moron with the mind of a small child to think that's how the world works." Yes, have you not been paying attention to LITERALLY EVERYTHING THE PRESIDENT DOES AND SAYS, IN PUBLIC, ALL THE TIME, FOR A DECADE

AND YET: in some ways he's completely correct, because no matter how transparently he demonstrates that he has zero knowledge about any subject, everyone continues to treat him as if he's thinking about stuff and understands it! It's mind-boggling!

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.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Today’s fun fact: the reason shipping lanes in the Baltic are so damn narrow is that there are anywhere from thirty to one hundred THOUSAND unexploded mines in the waterway from the World Wars, and the lanes are where the bottom has been swept

fun fact: graham crackers and cornflakes were both invented by anti-masturbation activists as bland foods to calm the passions

and I think it's beautiful that we have taken those things and turned them into s'mores and Tony The Tiger erotic fan art

once again we must ask "are the straits ok?"

Now we all await the arrival of the Hegelian synthesis

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

Unless I am greatly mistaken, each individual record unlawfully accessed, transferred, and stored on an unauthorized network constitutes a violation of the Privacy Act. That's ~500 million counts of PA violations.

I choose my adjectives carefully. This forecast is downright absurd.

The first 90- and 100-degree readings of the year might occur more than two months earlier than normal in many cities.

Palm Springs may reach 110°F next week. It would also be the highest March temperature ever measured in CA.

Oh, sorry. Were you thinking "refreshing lemonade," or "delightful sorbet desserts," or "beach sunsets?!" Wrong! It's almost time for people to fall off ladders. Remain vigilant.

In his "autobiography" (more a loosely edited diary), John Adams on Sep 9, 1776 noted without comment—in one sentence—that Congress had officially adopted the name "United States."

He then spent over 500 words recounting an argument w/ Ben Franklin about whether to close bedroom windows at night.

You've been expelled, dumpling. But you can make amends, and everything will be just the way it was before.

Maybe I need to edit the bit about Eurovision back into my profile, but it's funnier if it looks like I just have beef with six random countries for no obvious reason.
