The reality is that this was bound to happen due to structural economic factors and that we needed (and currently still need) to work hard to maintain an advantage in HE. Unfortunately we’re not doing that

Someone with an English degree can probably make a pithy comment better than I can about how one of the world’s most powerful men saying this this signals widespread and endemic cultural illiteracy. I invite you to do so

"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

My Trenchant Political Advice: “ICE has utterly failed in its mandate and is shot through institutionally with bad practices. We should be ready and eager to aggressively reform it, given the opportunity.” Say this, then abolish ICE when in power. But don’t say abolish ICE. You’re welcome

How dare people exercise their independent moral judgment and decide who they want to interact with. I demand that everyone exercise utter forbearance in determining such things. This, of course, implies no exercise of my own independent moral judgment
I have a bizarre fascination with people who constantly seek the validation of people they hate. They e conditioned themselves for social disapproval while basically despising the concept of social approval altogether.

This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

Don’t wanna see another article about this guy unless it’s saying he’s dead. Not at all for malicious reasons, I’m just fairly certain his cause of death is going to be absolutely jaw dropping
I am begging everyone on here to read this new post by Bryan Johnson — the super rich tech guy who is now doing the “never die” protocol.
I need to talk about it with you all.

Cool, you're directly aligned with Steve Witkoff and Tucker Carlson on this point!
wtf are you even talking about? I think Russia's invasion of Ukraine is criminal and Putin should be in the Hague. I'm simply pointing out an obvious fact that if Putin cannot get anywhere in eastern Ukraine then the idea he's going to march across Europe is clearly delusional nonsense

My inkling is that trans politics only ever became something a sizeable portion of the electorate cared about because Republicans successfully laundered it into the discourse with the meme that Democrats were legislating on trans issues at the expense of kitchen table economic issues

Trans Panic? More Like Trans Apathetic
2025 shows trans rights aren't electoral poison. The truth? Most people just don't care that much.

When you look back at the campaign attacks made against him, the hysteria is breathtaking. No doubt that's part of the plan. They were screaming their heads off about his stance on Israel, meanwhile he's here as mayor elect talking about small business deregulation and other normal stuff
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:

But no worries about the people Trump pardoned who did hundreds of millions of dollars in medicare fraud
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

Putting the abject misanthropy of this aside: How is this not just absolutely the pot calling the kettle black. This guy is like a think tanker with male pattern baldness. Somehow this doesn't make the cut for his deranged view of what constitutes the liberal elite?
it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people
if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

The idea is to be like Russia I guess. Relentlessly hack away at your own military capacity to achieve symbolic yet Phyrrhic victories, hollering all the while that this is tough guy route that the weenie liberals wouldn't do because they don't love their country enough
Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
