I honestly can’t believe that out of all the people that have been slighted, insulted, passed over, or even fired or purged by this man, that no one has physically assaulted him yet.

We’re talking here about Col. Josh Gaspard, who parachuted into Bashur during the 2003 invasion as a 2LT, then a year in Afg, then company command in surge-era Iraq. His Columbia degrees aren’t even in the “woke” social sciences, they’re in industrial engineering and engineering management systems.

The urologist that did my vasectomy’s name is Dickowski and the one that’s doing my check up next week’s name is Wang. Can you fuckin believe that shit.

Again: what do you, as that kid’s commander, tell him? When he asks why he should continue serving a country that did this to his family, what’s your answer? Now ask yourself: what’s the GRU or SVR collector’s answer? What’s the Chinese MSS collector’s answer? Or the cartel operative’s?

The opening Ukraine scene from season 3 is so telling. “IS THIS WHAT WAR IS LIKE NOW OMGZ” 4 years too late.

i do think that if you want to understand the worldview in the highest levels of power, you could do worse than binge-watch LIONESS a paranoiac, conspiratorial worldview, in which the war is everywhere, decadence is everywhere, and the only solution to all problems is the Operator

It never fails to make me laugh that there are people that use the term sexpionage unironically.

Got my new HT radios set up, I have to brave the heat tomorrow and install the radio in the car...I have put it off for so long because of car repairs but I can't use that excuse any longer...new seats and new floor mats, a detailing by a pro while they are out of the car. Easy access to wiring

Some of the most well-known NoBlogs sites belong to researchers who solely report on far-right hate and radicalization, never doing anything aside from showing you what exists. Using speech to to shine a light and hold people accountable IS effective. Never let them try to convince you otherwise.

CrimethInc. Ex-Workers' Collective@crimethinc.com · last wk.

The US government has designated the Italian collective Autistici/Inventati, which produces the infrastructure of NoBlogs.org, a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist," freezing their assets and prohibiting all transactions with them——citing their "far-left" politics for justification.

BREAKING: CIA Director John Ratcliffe is in Moscow meeting with Russian officials, Axios reports. Ahead of Ratcliffe’s trip, the U.S. told Ukraine that a senior delegation was traveling to Moscow and asked Kyiv to suspend strikes until the delegation leaves.

Prime Video's The Peripheral, is based on William Gibson's cyberpunk novel of the same name, which was sadly canceled due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.

The NSA, FBI, DOE, EPA, and CISA are warning that unidentified hackers are targeting the Siemens S7 series across multiple critical infrastructure sectors, including manufacturing, energy, water and wastewater, chemical, food and agriculture facilities.

You know what would be pretty cool. If “progressives” would make where I live a place that didn’t require cars for the bare basic necessities of living before they started lobbying to restrict them. My town doesn’t even have fucking sidewalks even though our state has a fund for helping build them!

It was like a month or two after I joined bsky that a mutual stopped posting so frequently and I sent a dm to check up and they were just like yea I’m fine it’s just harmful to my mentals to be here all the time and I was like no way all your people are here!

We’re lucky crime has been in an exogenous free fall basically my entire life because it sure as shit is not the local PD causing that to happen.

All the mechanical work over the last two weeks but it's the new wheels that are making me want to get out and drive it in this 98 degree heat. I'm always gonna be a fashionista at heart.

oh you fly an F-35? I hear those things suck your dick for you. Anyway, off to read about some 43-year-old Iranian man in an airplane older than my mom lived to be blasting through US air defenses

Spoke with Maria Abi-Habib of @nytimes.com. "It would be one thing if the U.S. didn’t have an overt maritime strike campaign, but they do, and they’re posting snuff films of boats going up in flames regularly. And that’s what makes this even more squirrelly." www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/w...

I'm going to keep saying this until it's rote practice: If you are in official connection with let alone in charge of an archive of data, if is your professional & moral responsibility to secure that archive, as a backup or otherwise, against just such an emergency, so we're not Hoping some kid did.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

"I would kill my enemies with kindness :)" Yeah, well, I would kill mine with electronic air-burst fuzed 155mm rounds.

Get to go to the eye doc momentarily because I got some road grime or rust flakes or something in there while working on my car last night. I skipped safety glasses because I already wear glasses…but safety glasses have much better coverage. Learning my lesson.

i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys

It Appears That the US Military Accidentally Killed Everybody on Board a Civilian Medevac Flight in New Mexico

A days-long electronic warfare drill was one of the causes behind the loss of a four-passenger medevac flight.

It seems relevant that the thing Isaiah is being sent to do in that passage is to deliver a prophecy of doom to his own people for having fallen away from the path of righteousness. So if these guys were like, Isaiah, that would be robustly bad news for...the United States.

American Christianity in one social media post.

Until recently I was kind of gun shy when it came to cutting metal with an angle grinder. Something about showers of sparks in a fairly enclosed environment full of all the oils and flammable sprays I just used on the car made me reticent.

the difference between a kid shooting up a school to satisfy a puerile urge and be famous and a flight of aircraft reducing a school to rubble as a part of a campaign that satisfies a puerile urge is just scale and organization

They are going to encase us all in a fictional world, and then sell access to the real back to us. This is way more sophisticated than a Metaverse lock-in. Everyone will have their own world, we will argue, we might kill some people over it, we won’t ever recover from the sense of confusion.

genuinely shocking decision by Google. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? What is the reason you'd even want this? What's the beneficial use case?
