If you looked up the definition of “person with zero thoughts desperately trying to cosplay as someone with deep thoughts” in the encyclopedia, it would just be this picture.

Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime

LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

When a whale dies on a beach they should load it up with cameras and sensors, drag it out to the deep sea, and let it sink.

Then you could observe the whole long process of whalefall in real time at high detail.

Broke: DOGE is dead

Woke: DOGE was specifically constructed in a way to avoid accountability partially by zombifying the USDS which still exists as an entity

Bespoke: Dead or not, there needs to be a blue ribbon committee and a massive internal cybersecurity review to root out all the damage.

Tired: "Great Depression"

Wired: "quiet time in the labor market"

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.
