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?

“…to study liberalism, then doesn’t do his job, acts as a giant professional twat, and spends all his time going to technofascist conferences *as a representative of the university* talking about how black peoples are less intelligent.” I mean, Jesus Christ, read the damn footnotes, people. 🙃 2/2

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

A reminder of the #Pluto Rules: You can have: A. 8 planets or B. 200+ planets, b/c if Pluto’s a planet so is Ceres, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong, Quaoar, Orcus, Salacia and who knows how many others. If you have an opinion on this, you are legally obliged to memorise the whole set you choose.

It’s easy to forget now, but asbestos is also really useful! It’s fire resistant, it’s an excellent insulator, it’s flexible, and it’s cheap & easy to produce. Which is why it’s in like 50% of all houses from before 1980. Unfortunately it also causes lung cancer, so, you know, negative externality.

Andreas Kjeldsen @andreaskjeldsen.bsky.social · 01/04/2026
I’m not trying to dunk on the quote post, I think he’s 100% correct. I just wish we’d had, like, a moment to discuss the many, MANY negative externalities about this thing before everyone just went “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” with it.

“If you're going to refuse to live in any house that contains asbestos, you're going to have to stop living in houses pretty soon. This is just the way that construction works now, and it's like that because people find asbestos really useful.”

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.

I suppose the best-case scenario here is that the money will just be used for normal personal corruption, rather than as some kind of privately-owned Contingency Fund for Foreign Intercourse.

I feel like it should be a bigger story than it is that the President of the United States is essentially building up several billion-dollar slush funds controlled by him personally.

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

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
