When I said everything kept happening at once, it had mostly been an exaggeration, but now everything was actually happening at once.

My apologies, apparently he also ran several conservative think tanks, all of which he mismanaged so badly that they fired him, and one even went bankrupt. 🙃

I suppose the one saving grace here is that the Pentagon, one of the world’s largest and most arcane bureaucracies, is going to take Pete #Hegseth, a deeply unserious person who’s never run anything larger than an infantry platoon, and eat him alive. Bureaucratically speaking, or maybe literally.

Quick question to everyone who signed that stupid #Cofnas letter, do you think the existence of a huge far-right academic network funded by a billionaire dedicated to undoing the liberal democracy that *makes academic freedom possible* should have some bearing on how we think about academic freedom?

This #Cofnas thing is very funny because first everyone who signed that stupid letter is all like “we must protecc the purity of academic freedom uwu :(“ and then you spend ten minutes looking into the case and it’s all “the guy was hired by a professor with ties to Peter Thiel as a postdoc…” 1/2

I don’t want to sound alarmist, but “The increasingly deranged President deploys his trigger-happy paramilitaries to airports in the middle of an escalating financial crisis” sounds like a story beat from a @mikeduncan.bsky.social season just before things really start kicking off.

To sum up, the Mad Emperor wanted the Nobel Prize, so the Nobel Ctte gave it to a far right politician to appease him, which didn’t work at all, so now the politician will give him the Prize hoping he’ll make her President of Venezuela, which he won’t. Absolute Moliere-levels of farcical comedy. 🙃

I don’t think it’s accurate to view these as tripwire forces exactly (what would they trigger that’s not already there?), but rather something the DA and GL foreign ministers could point to at today’s meeting and say, “See how much we’re already doing to defend Greenland?” #Greenland

The fact that we have super wealthy and extremely stupid people trying to set themselves up as new nobles has made historical nobility, which I only know from books, far more real to me. These people were not smart, they did not rule well, and rigid hierarchies of domination are very bad.

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this: The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?

[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]

LIZ:

Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine

With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!

Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow

From opening the bag of peas

to boiling the peas

to eating the peas

To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.

I realise this is a minuscule thing to be annoyed about, but they didn’t just “decide to change the name” to be “politically correct”. War (ie Army), Navy and Air Force used to be separate cabinet-level departments. The Department of Defence was formed as a complete restructuring of the US military.

Hello Bluesky! I am an #Indiedev making The Knight & the Maiden, a game set in a world almost, but not quite, like our own in the early 16th century. The story is about a lady who disguises herself as a knight to win a tourney, but then she falls in love with a princess and things get… complicated.
The title screen of The Knight & the Maiden – A Modern Medieval Folk-Tale. On the left is Charlotte, a woman with blond hair wearing a plate armour, while on the right is Princess Iris, a dark-haired woman wearing a blue dress. In the background is a scene from a tournament field, and a palace with white walls and blue roof is off in the distance.A visual novel-style illustration of Princess Iris and Charlotte sitting together in a library with bookcases full of books. Charlotte is reading aloud from a book while Iris listens. An in-game pixel art map scene showing Princess Iris, Charlotte, and the maid Marigold standing near a fountain in the palace gardens. Charlotte is saying: "Thy Gracious Highness, I am honoured to meet thee. If thou wouldst allow me to introduce myself? My name is Charlotte."A zoomed-out pixel art map showing a part of a medieval city with narrow streets, many buildings, and a large cathedral-like temple.

Call me a traditionalist, but letting private individuals send cheques to an authoritarian-curious president so he can fund the military outside of the legal appropriations procedure… seems less than optimal. Also that’s like 0.8% of the monthly US military payroll.
