I don’t give to or promote online fundraisers for individuals unless I know the recipient personally. Please don’t ask me to. I prefer to give money to charitable organizations. It’s not because I don’t trust individuals to use the money wisely or think them unworthy, it’s because scams are rampant.
This is 100000% accurate. This could revolutionize the field of stolen valor hunting.
The ultimate stolen valor test: show this image to someone claiming to be a combat vet, if they look at it blankly immediately accuse them of stolen valor

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

It is unsettling. What’s her name?
Deeply unsettled by this older photo of Mike Johnson with a beard.

This shit infuriates me. Like, I have to TRY to find it funny because it makes me so furious that this is the kind of incompetent fucking moron we have running the most powerful military in the history of the world. Our service members deserve so much better.

I really try to practice active empathy but if the majority of your investments are tied up in AI, you deserve to go broke when the bubble pops.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

I volunteer at a nonprofit with four paid employees and the family plan premiums just jumped to FORTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR, which is way more than HALF of what those employees make.
Here it comes: the crisis wave of Americans making the tough choice to drop coverage — in the face or rising premiums.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

Not only are rolls delicious but they can serve as a delivery mechanism for other foods. You cut a roll in half and make a miniature sandwich out of it. Tasty and functional, 10/10 side dish.

While I personally don’t like green bean casserole, it’s not all about me.

Ham is the correct answer because you don’t need turkey and ham. Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas ham. Having both is a decadent betrayal of the proletariat.
with charity and goodwill, i must here part ways with rolls.

Weird Al thing: making funny spoofs of popular songs.
Weird AI thing: So, now that I'm kind of in the traditional author world, I regularly get spam from people promising to introduce my book to tons of book clubs to make lots of sales. A few years ago, they were clearly spam both for the offering and because they were generic. Now they aren't generic.

Yeah that ain't the oath we took
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?

McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

So a while back I was commissioned to do short bios of various rock stars, and they were just about universally total psychopaths, with the huge exception of Freddie Mercury. A lovely man who did good by his wife, his lovers, and his cats.
Today (24 November) marks the passing of Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. He remains regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music.

Houthis: *Don’t die, keep launching missiles*

Air Heads: “Great job, gents! Back to the squadron lounge to eat snacks and groom our mustaches!”

Navalists: “The Navy is the most powerful and most important part of the joint force and the sea is the future of conflict!”

Houthis: *launch a few missiles*

Navalists: “Pwease someone come save our small bean ships fwom these mean nonstate actows!”

The hilarious thing about the unsuccessful air campaign against the Houthi rebels is that it was in support of US Navy ships that kept getting shot at, thus making a huge blow to the egos of both air and naval fetishists.

Land domain best domain.
Also did we not have months of airstrikes in Yemen across multiple administrations trying to coerce the Houthis a year ago so why would this work out differently?
