This is so damn pathetic. Still, I do get some consolation at the thought of the nation's ICE goons --who are over-represented in 5/6 of these traits-- being reminded by the regime's Crusades Minister, that they are a department of rejects from the real military branches.

Say what you will about Patton. But he actually understood the importance of things like logistics, supply chains, planning... reading. Cool backdrop, though.
George C. Scott as George Patton, standing before the same giant US flag as Hegseth.

Posting a vid of myself confidently smirking as I tell the crowd "Check this shit out." Cut out the part immediately after, when I kickflip the skateboard right into my nuts and crumple to the ground in pain. Caption: "Check this shit out."

First thing I ask when considering a new school for my kids: "How many hours a day will they stare at a screen and listen to a head set? Higher numbers are better."

Hall of fame art on this Politico piece. It's like the Hemingway six-word story, but for photography. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...
James Donald "Vance" Bowman sneers from the ballot box toward a voter (apparently of color), like a 19th century railroad baron ordering a violent Pinkerton assault against union strikers. Meanwhile, a child (possibly his son) stares up in eager, desperate, and vain hopes of obtaining a morsel of attention, if not affection, from the joyless husk looming over him in an expensive, ill-fitted suit.

This is incredibly gross and disconcerting. That said, is there a venue where descendents of other "European ethnic" groups incorporated into post-WWII whiteness can rescind our membership? These creeps have REALLY sullied a brand that was pretty spotty to begin with.

People talk a lot about how Trump could try and fix the midterm or 2028 vote to ensure a GOP win. But I think an underrated risk is that he introduces enough disruption and chaos to render the election obviously invalid, then tries to keep power through an interminable legal limbo over a remedy.

Listening to @theresthistory.bsky.social WWII series, & it's astounding how many opportunities there were for someone to say "fuck right off" and probably end it there But instead said "probably best to go along, and hope it sooths him. He can't really be the psycho he pretends to be in his book."

This is the playbook, day-in and day-out: Find someone you think people won't defend, and target them obsessively. 2. Repeat terrible things about them, until people are used to hearing it. 3. Lump other people into that group. 4. Keep expanding the circle.

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

US ground beef prices have increased 24.5% since Trump II took office. If imported beef were actually sold at a 25% discount (doubtful) people will basically be paying what they did when he took office. Prices have grown more than 2x as fast under Trump as under Biden.
BLS graph shows av. beef prices since the start of the Biden administration, with sharp uptick since Jan. 2025.

"Well the people who matter think HR trainings that annoy them are more important than the collapse of democracy" is true, that's an argument for violently changing who matters, not catering to the auto-syphilitic ramblings of those elites.

The TL;DR - a Chinese national with a history of money laundering, no obvious personal wealth and ties to various Emiratis buys $100M of Trump family crypto tokens. That should set off MASSIVE red flags.

A good reminder that Biden's multi-pronged attack on leaks, flaring, and other sources of fugitive gas had the best chance of making a tangible near-term impact on climate change of any global policy initiative. And the GOP killed it with little fanfare. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
