They only won the Peloponnesian War because Persia got involved.

Their discipline only applied to the battlefield, as their system of governance over Athens and the rest of their acquired territory was, while draconian, notably corrupt and self-serving hegemony, and did not last.

War sucks.

Going by Plumpy’Nut prices, it would feed 4,500 children for a year, or cure 27,500 children of famine-induced malnutrition. It would save 236,000 children from acute starvation.

DOGE let about 30x this much rot in a Jersey warehouse. Even when the UN offered to pay & distribute, CBP blocked it.

Yeah that’s how you know all the tinfoil hat stuff is a psyop; the truth is bad enough as it is, there’s no need to exaggerate or speculate because they’ll come right out and tell you what they’ve done.

Seriously sick, sick people, the lot of them. Anyone not of the Epstein class resigned ages ago.

Huh. I’ve been saying “Lah-Lay-Lee-Loh-Lou” this whole time.

And like a good noodle, here’s my source: Blanche himself, reported by NYT 1/30/26 but I think he made the statement a few days before that.

This has the hysterical, unsourced air of Facebook engagement slop, so I want to clarify for my fellow skeptics:

They didn’t say this. But they DID say they “withheld material depicting child sexual abuse & […] that depicted death or violence.”

Don’t help them flood the zone with disinformation.

I was about to comment wondering why Jon Stewart doesn’t do the moment of zen anymore, and then I realized it’s because I haven’t seen TDS on anything but YouTube in over a decade

100% valid, but I’m not sure comparing her to Daenerys Targaryen is the best endorsement (at least within the context of the show) lol

Hypothetically speaking, there’s all sorts of new toys out there but once upon a time an 18650 and an ignition coil would get the job done just fine.

The thing is, the tech had proof of concept. Cameras use the IR spectrum for night vision, so with the gear on you just look like you have a flashlight for a head. Great example of paranoiac hackerspace culture in the late 2010s. The press even covered it.

And now it’s like it was never invented.

There used to be a hoodie, scarf, and hat that were kitted out with infrared LED strips hooked to a small lithium battery. The hat was called the Liberty Cap iirc.

Imagine my shock to log back onto the net five years later and find it completely scrubbed. Companies, pages, DIY manuals. All 💨 (1/2)

I wonder if they have any valuable components in the tags themselves…

A friend called in tears because someone on TikTok told her Wexner’s ownership stake in Lifetouch meant her children were on a pedophile Facebook that worked like a menu.

It’s just like Pizzagate, you flood the zone with disinformation to make your accusers sound hysterical and tinfoil-behatted.

Edge was the cradle of the neo-reactionary movement that would become the arbiters of the single-party authoritarian state we’re watching take shape today in real time.

Thiel, Yarvin, Musk, and every fork-tongued bastard who loved power and wanted more. Democracy is a check on power, & had to fail.

Lmao I just noticed that says “DECLASSIFIED” like Kash Patel made it himself in Word…these are legal documents they never had a security clearance, unless there was hard evidence of a cabinet-plus official’s involvement and/or foreign intelligence involvement.

Both ended up to be true however…

I was going to say what’s this cockamamie “enduring love that conquers all” shit? She married someone else, he devotes his entire life to destroying her family and that of her husband, she fucking dies, and he digs up her grave to cuck her husband for eternity.

I finished #Expedition33 yesterday so evidently peer support training made me a glutton for feels.
