I definitely don't have the best builds in Pokopia, but I do think I've got the most perfect Ditto name ever: Lyre! (Lyrebirds are mimicking animals, the liar homophone, it's too perfect)

they thought Venezuela meant they were invincible and could do whatever they wanted and don’t understand that different countries are different and have agency and might not go along with your plans

this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"

they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.

It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

***Taps the sign.

What's remarkable is how they cast widely prescribed drugs, available in much of the world without a prescription as "potent, experimental medications." News outlets regularly report cis people taking them without issue. It's pure fear mongering.

...any of the thousands of US Navy members current and former who have transited the Strait of Hormuz while Iran trolled the ship for shits and giggles can describe for you at least 3 ways they can close the Strait without attending any briefing.

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.

The Corporate Miscreants Driving the Affordability Crisis These 20 firms all have something in common: Their CEOs get paid millions, their workers are being pushed onto public assistance, and voters are fed up with them.

Brian Niccol of Starbucks took home the award for the most nonsensical disparity between CEO and employee income: He earns $95,801,676, while the median salary for a Starbucks employee was a mere $14,674. trib.al/RMejLDH

this is disgraceful but it’s also notable that they’re running the exact same playbook that completely failed to beat him in the election and it’s even less effective now that voters can contrast that with Mamdani’s actual behavior as mayor
