I think when Star Trek: #StarfleetAcademy starts, I’m going to mute all references to it. I just want to experience it on its own terms, whether I enjoy it or not. I don’t need to know what any other single human being alive thinks about it.

I’m starting to see the Americans I follow use this app for something called “sports”. And I simply will not tolerate such an attack on my person.

Trump: "The departure of Maduro makes possible an incredible future for both nations, Venezuela and the United States. We will more closely integrate the economies of two major energy powers in the Western Hemisphere."

you can't understand what needs to be fixed if you don't get that we've been barking up the wrong trees and poisoning our minds for decades. these places are bad for us. they are bad for the world. you should view what we do here as slightly less responsible than shooting up heroin.

"Laws are only as good as the willingness of people to enforce them," is the epitaph of this era.
Now would European leaders actually have the stomach for shooting at US forces if they seized Greenland next week?
Eh given how basically nobody has the stomach to even send troops to Ukraine right now I’m going to bet absolutely not.
In which case why shouldn’t Trump go for it, free real estate!

People wondering whether the US is going to be able to "run the country" of Venezuela at "no cost" might like to remind themselves it's a place one-third *larger* than Afghanistan, the running of which cost the US $2,260,000,000,000. (That's $2.26 trillion).

I’ve broken open the vodka for lunch time as a coping mechanism.
She starts every new topic of conversation with “Did you hear…” and then it’s some piece of news from last week that we’re all perfectly aware of…. YES I FUCKING HEARD - SHUT UP
She’s back for Christmas. She’s been here 90 minutes and she’s already hit:
The death penalty
The legalisation of homosexuality
Gaza/Israel
The Bondi Beach shooting
The car bomb in Moscow
Greenland
She’s like if doom-scrolling was a person.
