Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Should have been obvious this would happen given all of Trump's rhetoric to the effect that Iran that has no troops left or ships left or whatever. Every accusation is a confession. So, he was basically telling us, we'll have no missiles left, we'll have no rations left, etc.

U.S. has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war: Reuters

I have no drafts. I post it all. ALL.

how horrible it would be to accidentally help someone else without getting anything in return

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

This is, so far, my summary of Erik Loomis's "A History of America in Ten Strikes".

Actual worker: I care most of all about clean water and secondarily about slowing these machines back down to the speed they were set at last month so I'm not constantly afraid of losing a hand. Organizers: EIGHT-HOUR WORKWEEK OR ELSE. CAPITALISM IS DOOMED. READ THEORY.

Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.

Slavery. Slavery never changes. This is literally still just The Jungle, actually.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

Steely Dan's first three albums. Sorry, yes, I gotta cape for em here. So that's Can't Buy A Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy, and Pretzel Logic. I cannot abide Katy Lied or Gaucho so that precludes The Royal Scam and Aja, unfortunately.

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

And nobody using AI ever has enough awareness to answer that it might not be a good tool for person A or task X (or right now, or at all). You don't see that with a lot of other tools, tech or tactile.

If you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …

one aggressive hardball thing I would like to see happen is blue states coordinating to have deliberately contradictory and difficult to navigate regulatory environments for hostile regime-aligned businesses such as X. what red states did with abortion pre dobbs.

bitches be writing

note that you never see them arguing for What We Need To Do if the wuhan-fuckup theory is correct (which is…what, “nations get together and implement some additional safety protocols”?)

it is kind of bullshit how good exercise makes you feel

How does one become so confident in what the natural rate of bisexuality can and can't be?

How does one become indoctrinated into bisexuality?

As a political historian of the 20th Century, I can tell you that "anti-communism" is a deep-rooted catch-all not only for anti-left-wing politics, but more often than not, anti-liberalism altogether. Anti-communism as a movement doesn't simply attack people, it subverts democratic institutions.

Everyone in the Marines comes back from leave with one of two stories: their family either said, what the hell, you've got a Southern accent now? or, where the hell did your Southern accent go?

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 2w ago

People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you

Sorry to be Uncle Marxism but employer-based healthcare is a tool of social control for the ruling class

About 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E

if you got on bsky with an invite code, you are slightly weaker than the person who gave it to you but inherit some of their special powers. the only way to become as powerful is to drink all their blood. also all the post-invite accounts are clanless Caitiff, which is a portent of Gehenna

Just read some of OpenAI's marketing materials and I was struck by how obviously it was not written by AI.

Daycare is expensive because the discount for "women's work" is decreasing, & that is good. We should use our wealth to make it more affordable for poor parents, but that doesn't mean it's any less expensive in fact, & you do not want it to be cheap

I‘m told in professional wrestling, veering off script and hitting somebody for real because fuck this, you want to win is called doing a shoot. I believe a lot of American elites view Iran in this light and think Iran very unprofessional and unsportsmanlike for not sticking to the COD NPC script.

I just always want to point out that the entire driver of this was dudes hearing that there's plant estrogen in soy and, that was it, they didn't hear anything anyone had to say after that, they'd already made up their minds about what that meant.

jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social · 3w ago

putting the troops on mandatory testosterone regimens just reminds me that the whole "soy boy" thing from 5 years ago was completely serious. at its core this is about not wanting to be drawn as the soy wojak

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Mitch McConnell is (was?) always evil’s strongest shooter. Even when Trump would have a tantrum and shit on him for playing the long game he always endured it and kept his eye on the ball in the name of Satan.

It is truly incredible how some of these male leftists who correctly criticize the police and court system will turn around and say a rape allegation can’t be taken seriously unless it passes through the cops and courts
