The number of emdashes in that thing reads like “hey ChatGPT, I’m the President. Make me a strategy paper. Make sure that people know what strategy means. Make it good. Here are my talking points.”

And while this isn't written by a military journalist, I see the same errors across many mainstream media entities. It is devoid of responsible ownership of biases, blind spots, an awareness of how framing impacts interpretation of events, etc. That's how you keep an electorate in the dark.

To be fair, outdoing the WSJ in craven, odious sycophancy to the ultra-wealthy is no small task.

Broken clocks and all. It’s also so fuckin’ silly how the only thing Trump has the capacity to process is that he’s jealous of someone else having the appearance of more power. He is so singularly unable to think about topics that don’t revolve around his performance of power.

Trump’s unironic love of gauche, old-money vibes hardly ranks as his worst trait, and yet it is *still* impressively nauseating.

I cannot emphasize enough how much "cost them a few pennies" is not the reason they won't do it. Even if you've made as much of your core stack as cloud-agnostic as possible, and you're effectively using just AWS hardware without their services, migrating to Azure or GCP is a massive undertaking.

I can appreciate your point as a pure exercise in journalism, but goddamn do I have no love for WSJ in any capacity.

I mean, you're allowed to have sexual fantasies about being a sub to big daddy Trump wearing this outfit.

I just don't know how that relates to what we're talking about, and tbh that's a kink that you can enjoy on your own.

There’s an extra layer of humor in this for any #softwareengineer types that work in government:

Read that quote with Al Pacino vibes for extra emphasis.
