there is a woman on TikTok who has been arguing for months now with randos that keep insisting that nobody called 3.5" disks "floppy disks" or "floppies" at the time. it's weird. no matter what kind of proof she provides or how many agree with her, people are coming out of the woodwork to disagree

DOGE was extremely bad at cutting overall spending, but managed to eliminate a bunch of stuff that saved large numbers of lives cheaply
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

I guess the other thing about the JFK assassination is there are other conspiracy theories that have a lot more meat on their bones, but they're never as specifically weird. Operation Condor is real but boring. The KGB throwing money at terrorists and claiming the US invented AIDS is real but boring

The declassified files are fascinating for other reasons though. The Mexico City cables are probably the best publicly available window into the day-to-day function of a CIA Station, excepting perhaps the reconstructed Iranian Embassy files.
I guess, having waded into the JFK assassination mire, I should produce some Discourse on it.
The event was excruciatingly investigated and the answer is the boring answer that a random nut shot people. Which is disconcerting because everything leading to the boring answer is very weird

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

Sometimes I imagine trying to tell my younger self about that time the Pope hosted a birthday rave outside of the St. Elizabeth Cathedral and they had a bishop drop the beat with a benediction, and I realize I wouldn't have believed this timeline either.
He said "Amen" straight into the drop
Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

it's not because the left (who I'm often antagonistic to) loves him. it's because the right hates him. he causes them pain and suffering and anxiety and consternation, and the way I know the good guys are winning is that the bad guys are losing

To put it bluntly, you never see people suggest that the civil rights movement was tainted by Obama’s drone strikes but you do see people say feminism is tainted by Hillary’s participation in them or the LGBT rights movement by “white gays.”
