"I've foiled your plan THIS time, caped crusader! Behind your very back, unbeknownst to you, I've established an after-school program for at-risk youth that will give them positive role models and a safe place to spend time with their peers! How do you plan on beating up evil criminals now, Batsy?"

I'm sure I'm on a ton of those lists and the people who make them are deeply mentally unwell. If your time on this app is spent making Lists Of Mine Enemies, you maybe wanna talk to a medical professional, or at least contemplate the historical parallels of making lists of "people who support Jews."

And whoever else sees them weapons next gets to influence them. Do you think their next partner will do anything close to what Biden tried to do in the article? Trump certainly isn't, so maybe the question has already been answered. And the situation in Gaza gets worse. Like we said it would.

Here's the secret: if you do this right, you will train your brain so that you don't HAVE to think 10 times, it will just become natural to treat women with decency and respect, as equal partners.

Just once I would like to talk with someone who isn't utterly convinced they have foreign policy figured out and could deliver world peace if only given the chance. All I'm asking is for people to understand the limits of their knowledge and experience, and talk and act accordingly.

Gaza is a foreign policy issue that doesn't even involve the US. You want to disqualify Dem candidates because they're insufficiently concerned about foreign wars? Do you understand how suicidally stupid that is? This is why I am shocked you claim to be a Democrat, you don't support them one bit.

How much did you do to get Harris elected? What steps did you take to avert a second Trump presidency? I phone-banked, went door-to-door, and wrote postcards. I was doing everything in my power to elect the best candidate, on Gaza and so many other issues. If you can say the same, we agree on a lot.

Head Engineer - Blinky Light Dept. @cppilgram.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

You're still arguing that Biden could and should have done something different than he did, even after reading an entire article explaining a good portion of what happened and why. You're still using Gaza as the thing by which you measure a candidate's fitness to lead. Meanwhile, Americans suffer.

No I do! Generally people who talk like you don't want to be smeared as a Democrat.

They have no object permanence, if they can't *see* Biden doing it, it's definitely not happening, and because he won't talk about it, that must mean he's actually evil and doesn't want to reveal the horns on his head.

Hey at least if I typed a post and it came out in comic sans, I would know not to post it. I get the feeling a lot of people wouldn't see it that way.

Ok let's game this out, the US stops sending all weapons to Israel. What happens to Israel next?

The article is good, it explains a lot about what happens behind the scenes during crises like these. As it turns out, international diplomacy is NOT as simple as telling bad people to stop being bad or you'll take away their toys.

Head Engineer - Blinky Light Dept. @cppilgram.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Do you think that would have affected diplomacy, less than a year after 10/7? Bibi sees US reports of recordings of diplomatic channels (ones he likely assumed were classified) where he looks unfavorable, so Biden can win an election, and he's just chill with that? We already know he prefers Trump.

It's always "I want something, no I will not consider the downsides and tradeoffs, oh no there are downsides and tradeoffs." Who gets the blame after that is anyone's guess, but you'll never lose money betting on "blame the Dems," it's been a core strategy for the right AND the left for some time.

No one wants to think the situation is more complex than we understand, no one wants to hear "maybe we don't have all the details, maybe that's for a reason." No one wants to leave the hard jobs like international diplomacy to the experts. "Why don't they just do it my way?" Because you're stupid.

Americans have a real problem with thinking that reading "the news" (whatever form that takes) makes them fully informed on everything. The government is not revealing all of their plans, that would be suicidally naive. The president is not going to be an open book when it comes to negotiations.

Bloomington has a cool sister city: Izumi City, Japan. When I was a senior in high school, our concert band did a cultural exchange tour for a week in Japan, it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. Lakeville, the gantlet has been thrown down.

I keep seeing people say you should not vote for this Democrat or that one because PROTEST VOTE. This is what we get when the privileged few decide their votes are playthings.

Being tedious is baked in when your method of writing high fantasy is by starting with several grammatically complete languages with their own alphabets and etymologies.

But hey, I guess Trump fits that bill pretty well, so Bibi got what he wanted there. More bombs and not a hint of resistance to what's happening in Gaza. In fact, Trump let himself get manipulated into open war with Iran, something Biden managed to prevent.

Head Engineer - Blinky Light Dept. @cppilgram.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I would be *shocked* if Bibi's next source of weapons came with any kind of caveats about Gaza.

Head Engineer - Blinky Light Dept. @cppilgram.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

We can take for a given that if the US stopped selling them weapons outright, Israel would have obtained them elsewhere. I'm trying to think of a more ethical source of weapons, everything I come up with ends up being "funneling huge wads of cash to America's enemies or literal terrorists."

Oh yeah a bunch of them have IRL clearances, I had a TS/SCI at the time. It's just wild because you have interview processes for video game guilds that anyone who's obtained a security clearance would recognize, to protect space pixels. And they take it all incredibly seriously.

I mean the Star Trek AU is ideal to get *trapped* in for a reason. You got any openings at Starfleet Academy for people with really weird origin stories? Oh there's a scholarship program? Hell yeah, time to join the space bureaucracy. Go home? Nah, we're chill.

She follows the Charlie Kirk Show on TikTok, willingly performed at Kid Rock's event, and did a duet with Morgan Wallen. I'm fully capable of figuring out who and what are facilitating her rise to fame, the backlash isn't due to internet clout chasing.
