Just some rando. Not a bot. Yes I know, that's what a bot would say. Trying to find the strength to be kind.

Again, the whole point of maga is the perpetuation of a gigantic government funded welfare program for lazy, cowardly, mediocre white men. The real underachievers are white men who cry and cry and cry when they lose money or status to women and minorities. Do not accept any of this in good faith.

If you haven’t noticed, it is Canada that is fighting for decency and respect in international relations, and the USA that is acting without honor or logic. All Americans who believe in doing the right thing must stand with Canada.

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

At the height for Reagan's popularity "liberal" became something of a bad word, so some liberals started referring to themselves as "progressives." I always figured they were both the same thing.

Apologies if I sound angry, but it is a real problem that the 'smart' commentary on this war is trying hard to avoid the core lesson ("the president is a fucking moron") because it doesn't sound very clever when it is absolutely the most important takeaway from this debacle.

No, No, no. Look, are there lessons to learn from this debacle? Sure. Drone warfare, mag depth, etc. But the solution here is not 'yet more tactical excellence or tech.' It is 'the president asked the impossible of the military and they should have said so.' www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Elon Musk is going to be the world's first trillionaire. A trillion is a thousand billions; a million millions. So when you read that he's worth 1.1 trillion, that means one million one hundred thousand millions. He's a millionaire a million times over. 😬

J.C. @random-observer.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
A billion is a thousand millions. So when you read that Jeff Bezos is worth two hundred fifty billion dollars, that's shorter way of saying two hundred fifty thousand millions. Feels different when said like that, doesn't it? 3/

J.C. @random-observer.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
If you make fifty thousand dollars a year, it'll take you twenty years to gross a million dollars. If you make one hundred thousand a year, it'll take you ten years. So although a million is a very large number, we can still relate it to our own lives. 2/

J.C. @random-observer.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
I think we should stop using the words "billion" and "trillion", and just use "million". Why? Because billion and trillion are so large they're difficult to comprehend, while we can actually relate to a million. 1/
