P.S. I will never be offended if someone doesn’t follow me back. I probably wouldn’t follow me either.

Seeing a post from the (wonderful) Iron Chef Bot today reminds me of an episode I saw many years ago where one of the Iron Chefs essentially makes turkey sashimi.

Hey, Trump — Fuck you for your inattention to this matter.
SCOOP: The Trump administration has instructed employees and grantees not to use U.S. funds to commemorate World AIDS Day — because the observance was started by the World Health Organization.

Not the point at all, but I read “Al Qaeda” (alpha lima) as “AI Qaeda” (alpha india) and it temporarily broke my brain.

Is there a accessibility setting or something that forces serifs on lowercase Ls?
he’s echoing what countless experts in the law of war have said. Even John Yoo, one of the former Justice Department officials who famously greenlighted the waterboarding of Al Qaeda suspects, has questioned the legality of the strikes, arguing that “the United States cannot confuse crime with war.”

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

Every Democrat needs to go on TV and call Hegseth a little bitch today, just like this.
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

When they attack Venezuela, the regime and its lapdog press is going to saturate the zone with propaganda. Just try to remember that there are completely innocent people on the receiving end of the missiles and bombs.

But they will have EXPERTLY produced propaganda footage and probably cutesy branding like “The Thanksgiving War” or something just as nauseous.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

i’m very familiar with lean

1. it’s not woo-woo

2. it’s only sort of capitalist (being a japanese invention; they are capitalist but not the same way the US is)

3. lean actually stipulates you must have suitable buffer, but not waste, which is simply being responsible

Between this and Sean Duffy and telling us to dress nicer on planes, I think we need fifty New York Times op-eds about the GOP's "scoldy elitism" problem.
