I went and saw Project Hail Mary. A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie. Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that. He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

Hegseth’s embrace of vice signaling is most obvious in his efforts to combine his adolescent, gung-ho excitement about war with Christian prayer, which results in a rancid mess that should offend believers and nonbelievers alike. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly
Tom Nichols: We're being governed by a bunch of juveniles who think war is some kind of fist-pumping video game. I can tell you taught hundreds of military officers over the years, they take this business a lot more seriously. This isn't just B-roll footage from a bad movie.
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

Hegseth, among others, is using the school as a punching bag to express the generic social anxiety and status-based resentment that drives much of the MAGA movement. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Pete Hegseth Should Sit This One Out
By inserting himself into the situation in Minnesota, the secretary of defense is only making things worse.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
Tom Nichols about Trump being an aspiring fascist: “Donald Trump is saying really terrifyingly fascist things about taking over other countries and owning them, and anyone who disagrees with him is his enemy. And I think that’s starting to break through.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.
