My old house was a popper once you got past -20c. It sometimes sounded like I was making popcorn from all the racket it made!

It's not news to Army leadership that Navy SOF is a rogue organization stacked with right wing fanatics that routinely engage in behaviors that should never be tolerated in the US Military. The Navy has lost control of their own people. Just shameful.

The answer to a fool is silence

A direct result of the number of Americans identifying as "White" falling rapidly. Just horrible ignorance about basic science, history and other cultures than manufactured White identity that they think is synonymous with American culture

Yes, the party is now the logical extension of Nixon, Reagan and the Bush administrations' policies. Conservatism is fundamentally radical because it is an ideology that claims that its principles are perennially applicable to the execution of public policy. In other words, unscientific nonsense.

Why would anyone with a functional brain remain a "Conservative" in this day and age when the ideology is radically in conflict with modern knowledge and science? There's nothing conservative about this cuckoo ideology. They don't even understand basic financial theory and economics.

Yes, I was just emphasizing that genetic diversity is the opposite of what racists try to make it out to be.

Well said. The only reason that people still don't understand that Homo sapiens is one species and that race taxonomy is unscientific is centuries of Western Patriarchal propaganda that makes people believe in manifest destiny and the doctrine of discovery and other cultural superiority nonsense.

This follows the broader pattern where public needs become profit opportunities: the state offloads core health functions to venture-backed startups, creating markets instead of building capacity. The result is symbolic legislation that misdirects funds while leaving the underlying problem unsolved.

Instead of training clinicians and integrating menopause care into the standard medical system, it channels money into private telehealth, AI-driven wellness platforms, and celebrity-branded companies like Halle Berry’s.

Progressives need to get their shit together and learn to read. The “menopause bill” is a textbook example of how the American state, under conditions of weakened public capacity and private-sector capture, launders public dollars into private markets while pretending to solve a public-health issue.

The Conservative game has always been to tell us that we are not normal and they are. The time has come to call them on their radicalism. Normal people adapt to changing circumstances. Normal people understand that cultural and genetic diversity are humanity's secret weapons.

Exactly. As an immigrant I have been saying the same thing for decades. Don't normalize antisocial people; marginalize them.

Have you seen the doofus things Sorkin says about Mamdani and "socialism"? The New York Times is a Right-Wing paper by any reasonable global standards.

Normal, socially well adjusted people with functional brains and fully developed identities understand that drug addiction is not a supply problem.

Even if these boats are carrying drugs, something that no clear thinking person should assume to be true, boats that cannot reach the US, killing the crew does nothing to reduce American demand for drugs. These are extrajudicial murders that make us less safe by telling the world that we are cowards
