Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 1hLet’s see which platforms will carry it. I’m sure it breaks TOS for every major platform — we will see which plutocrats step in to override their own stated policies.bbc.comFort Hood attacker's execution by firing squad will be livestreamed, Pentagon saysPete Hegseth says the execution will be public, but a legal expert says the "unprecedented" decision is on "uncertain legal terrain". 110
Reposted by Lester BurnhamKeith @mosheroperandi.bsky.social · 9hIt's quite literally human sacrifice. They continue to cargo cult fascism, because "fake it until you make it" is the only thing they know. They're hoping a ritual public killing will bring their flagging power and legitimacy back, no different from previous sacrifice religions. 723363
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 12hPretty sure this will be a world-class contest where all will participate, but only one can win. 000
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 21hExtraordinary self own. Nobody knew this conference was happening. Pulling out proves the case better than remaining. It’s too bad these idiots will never be made to explain themselves. 010

Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Pretty sure the lesson learned was that one’s security cannot be outsourced. Ukraine is not a security guarantor for Europe — only Europe can be. 021
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 04/10/2026But if you had to be authoritarian, would it be left or right? 000
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Sure. I think Annie Lowrey, another Cowen guest and Ezra Klein’s wife, hammers on about how American society accepts too little from its government. 010
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Tyler Cowen suggesting Spain suffers from resource curse of, essentially, a good society. Heh. 120

Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also, think about the equivalence they’re making between the price and the bond investment. 000
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 03/10/2026For that kind of money, pretty sure anyone can do better than Argentina. 110
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Abandonment of beauty is kind of a reactionary take. 000
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Europe will regret acquiescing to Trump's demands.france24.comUS presses Europe to release diesel reserves 'immediately' as Trump threatens export banThe United States on Thursday urged European allies to release strategic diesel reserves immediately to curb prices driven higher by the US war on Iran. EU states will discuss a coordinated response… 000
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This just reduces pressure on Trump to find a resolution to his conflict. 000

Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Time to hold a referendum to re-divide Germany. Some states obviously feel like life was better under the boot of mother Russia. 000

Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026"But Joe Biden did it!" I can hear it all the way from 2028. 000
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's just saying things that the in-group approves of and/or that the out-group disapproves. The topic is irrelevant. 000
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Republicans think you're stupid. They think that they can get you onside for the mid-terms but ignore Americans' deep skepticism of this conflict. 010
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So the threat, apparently, is about the potentail diesel export ban. That's strapping on a suicide vest and letting the people next to you know. 000

Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Lost some respect for him admitting to doing it. Half of the American game is sandbagging the system. 000
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026There is no redemption for these people. At some point, those holding American institutions together have to wonder exactly for whom they're doing it. 110
Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026"Save my presidency or I will unleash hell on you by withdrawing military coordination." I, too, am qualified to work in the Trump admin. 100

Lester Burnham @lesterb.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This conflict is less likely to end on his terms. Iran will read this as weakness. 000
