Avoiding the news as much as I can. So as diversion watched The Family Stone again. Sad to watch a bit since Diane Keaton is dying from breast cancer in it. But still it's a great fun movie and I needed distraction.

It’s annoying as shit is seeing people who think there must be a coherent reason for why America just snatched the leader of a foreign nation. America doesn’t require coherent reasons to do shit. The government is currently trying to kill the department of education. Coherence has left us long ago

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”
Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

It’d be cool if Dems did maximalist constitutional hardball from the minority and refused all cooperation with Republicans since J6 but at some point you just need to put your political energy somewhere else or stop treating them like they’re persuadable outside a primary challenge.
it is both true that dem leadership statements suck and also true that if you are vomiting in anger over them are you are very definitely reacting to the wrong thing right now.

I'm so tired of the american military complex and the devastating real impacts of the lie of american exceptionalism.
I grieve that people in power who don't know peace in their own hearts spew their bitter bile upon the world. This is not the way to peace. War and violence are failures.

He arrived at #Auschwitz on 1 December 1942. After the selection - together with his father Samson and mother Ruth - he was murdered in a gas chamber.

So he’s sort of running a … let’s say Security Service, a Sicherheits Dienst, perhaps. Or maybe a … National Security Main Office, a Reich Sicherheit Haupt Amt. Target: Protecting the nation by deporting 100 million Americans to the south. Yes, I agree. That’s his projeckt. Fascinating/faszinierend.
