I tease infantry as knuckle-dragging hooligans who naked wrestle too much, and they tease me for my transition lenses and D&D.

But when I got death threats, an infantryman flew out to take shifts watching my house.

And I charge them dinner for their dumb law shit.

We’re family.

In the US is the enemy the target or just the other services or just the nearby unit or what? It seems a house of petty rivalries and feuds reading you US MilTwit peeps

It’s a meaningful slur only to deeply insecure guys.

Like, I own my POGness, so infantry guys don’t even bother calling me a POG, why would they?

“Yeah man, they had to air condition the equipment I used, it was so fucking sweet. How was trying not to let your 1LT get you killed?”

Did this fucking brainchild actually decide to build a foreign military base on U.S. soil in the heart of right wing extremist compounds?

Pentagon Pete Blasted Over Qatari Air Force Base Inside the U.S

The move comes after Trump accepted a Qatari jet and later agreed to build a luxury golf course in the Arab country.

I don’t think the makers of this movie anticipated a time when there would be mass habeas corpus fights but the subject is indeed evergreen.

I decided to watch Peterloo, because I don’t get enough anti-protest repression after ill informed tariffs increase poverty, apparently.

You know, people shit-talk the military, but at least in the military women could punch dudes for doing shit like this and nobody in the platoon would think they were wrong for it.

This is literally the plot of a baller 1950s movie with Bette Davis.

That’s right, we are now being more repressive than the 1950s.

The only acceptable reason for that is if it was then going to be burned on live TV.

I envy you with the power of a thousand suns.

Bread must be crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. This is the only acceptable answer. I don’t even know how people bake it to get it soft on the outside, but however it is, it’s not acceptable.

Important discovery fight taking shape in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case.

The question: Can the government assert privilege to avoid handing over documents that may be relevant to a defendant's vindictive prosecution claim?

Abrego's counsel says no.

Damn, because I have to say, I would have thrown a good chunk of my monthly income buying every DLC and add-on for this game on principle.

Also in retrospect the amount of lawyers who are like “yep I shit out a paper in one day before the deadline” definitely explains the profession we went into.

I remember clearly writing one paper where I waxed rhapsodic about some niche interest and fascinated the professor so much that they wrote “this wasn’t what the paper was supposed to be on but this was so well written I gave you an A anyway”. I guarantee you AI would never have gotten me that.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Or that under fascism, we are experiencing a news blackout, and so news must be shared as it always is under dictatorship- crumb by crumb, forbidden image by forbidden image, until the truth is finally out.

I'm really glad more people are realizing how brutal ICE has been in Chicago but it's really weird to see people talking about Rev Black getting attacked like it happened yesterday and not 3 weeks ago. Like, I'm glad people are catching up! But it's very weird.
