It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

A nice circumhorizontal arc (informally known as a fire rainbow, which is a misnomer) over West Virginia captured by Christa Harbig!

It is an optical phenomenon belonging to the family of ice halos, so it is neither fire nor a rainbow.

$The image shows a circumhorizon arc (or circumhorizontal arc), an optical phenomenon resembling a fiery rainbow. It forms in a clear sky with cirrus clouds made of flat, hexagonal ice crystals aligned horizontally. These crystals refract sunlight, creating a colorful arc parallel to the horizon. Vibrant colors shine brightly against the blue sky, captured near North Fork Mountain, West Virginia.$

Nothing better than the people in charge having no grip whatsoever on reality. Makes reality interesting.

Otherwise it would just be regular old trying to survive. This is trying to survive while trying to figure out WTAF every two seconds. An adventure!

Kind of out of the loop on things, but am I correct in understanding we’re planning on selling the US off for parts now?

Humor is a powerful political tool. Humor implies satire, and satire is about sending up the politically powerful to deflate their authority by showing people how absurd they are being. Funny art is political art.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Does anyone understand what would happen to the birth rate if we got rid of this administration & their policies & actually decided to implement something like universal health care?

It would be sexy times all over the place.
