I'm glad to see that some MAGAs are figuring out that Trump is a con man who's only in it for himself.

Reminder that Democrats spent the entire last decade screaming from the rooftops about Trump's corruption and narcissism, and you called us libtards and sore losers. An apology would be welcome.
I want to get invited to all the big parties, but I don't want to actually go

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave.

Re: militant liberalism. We have to foster a general understanding among liberals, progressives, even centrists (gonna need @thebulwark.com here) that we are at this point, *between* constitutional regimes.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

- Can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid leakage in the brain, requiring regular MRIs
- Can cause tiredness

Curious. 🤔

My Spotify Wrapped wasn't terribly interesting this time. This was the year I discovered Descartes a Kant and played them obsessively, so my top five songs are all from After Destruction.

Signalgate seems to sum up Hegseth’s character flaws—his cowardice (refusing to sit for an interview), his recklessness (having used an insecure channel), his dishonesty (denying it was any big deal) and his utter lack of seriousness, just as Kelly has been saying open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

My dearest Mabel,

The meme war rages on. I fear The Office memes may soon be depleted and morale is running low. Major Memesalot was lost to the Battle Of That's What She Said, leaving a battalion to surrender.

I fear we may soon resort to Overly Obsessed GF and Bad Luck Brian.

Yours,
Clarence

I decided to check out Ghost. Not impressed. Their early stuff sounds like mediocre Seventies prog-rock. Their current stuff sounds like Eighties glam metal, particularly Dokken. And the Satanic shit needs to stay in the black-metal bubble. 4/10.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.
