Unfucking this one in particular needs to be a priority for the new Congress. This is very, very bad. This alone is worth impeaching Hegseth.

NEW: The US theft of Venezuelan oil resources appears to bring the Pentagon its own source of money — something that should be understood as another milestone in the collapse of constitutional government.

yes I think a horse-drawn wehrmacht armed primarily with bolt action rifles would easily conquer the entire mass of africa, not get wiped out in a matter of days by Egypt's professional 21st century air force

And imagine that job was something as cushy as an ambassadorship specifically designed to keep you out of sight and out of mind!

Since we’ve talking about reading habits, I’d like to add that I’ve, for years, tried to teach my children to respond “I get by” whenever they’re asked by an adult if they know how to read, just like Jason Mantzoukas’s character in The League. Kid 2 is still a work in progress, tho she’s improving.

Hot take: Jaguar Type 01 : Britain :: Cybertruck : USA Massive compromises to accommodate a singular, ultimately cartoonish design vision resulting in a too-large, too-heavy car. Both ended up looking like an armored vehicle for transport through the guillotine-wielding mobs we know are coming.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque@tlecaque.bsky.social · last yr.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola. Fuck Columbus.

Stellantis I will take it all back if you bring this to the US

Very difficult to get near the 2CV. Clearly very popular

Turns out it's little lanterns we've been missing from cars all this time. Lanterns could fix us.

Hear me out: I know ev sports cars have all been failures, but I honestly think Hyundai could pull off a miata-sized ev roadster. Make it light, don't give it 3,000 ft-lbs of torque, make the styling funky.

Which automaker could actually give Mazda a run for its money?

i have lived here my whole life, and i have never once seen a plane take off from the Willamette… …let alone do THIS. wtf.

We are moving toward a future with 3 main types of vehicles, & in fact we are almost there: 1. Gray four-door crossover the size of a Honda CR-V with invisible design. 2. $100K electric sedan with screens everywhere. 3. Giant pickup whose hood is higher than the roofs of the first two vehicle types.

Yes, they're evil ghouls, and of course they're the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. But the best part? They're also absolute dweebs.

i've identified the Dockers store where Michael Tracy bought and then subsequently returned these pants after wearing them. i will be pursuing criminal prosecution.

Because he's one of the only people standing next to a Republican going, "this person is a piece of shit, I don't respect him, neither should you, he's fucking evil and he needs to go, and I don't care if it makes me sound rude saying it" LIKE EVERY DEMOCRAT SHOULD BE DOING??? MAYBE???

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

I recorded a radio commercial with him once. While I was editing he picked up a copy of The Onion and read this article. Dude was pissed. Every vein in his head bulging. Trying to explain to Ditka the concept of a satirical newspaper was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

So the president is inciting a pogram, the Army is live-streaming an execution, and we’re considering bringing back ships for human trafficking. Have I missed anything today while I was busy? No? Okay cool great

We're shooting people in the streets, we're shooting people on live streams, we're reinventing slave ships, we're giving money and arms to other governments so they can shoot people in their streets. Whatever misery awaits these motherfuckers, it isn't enough for what they're doing in our name.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
