Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Margaret Atwood. (I really have no idea. I'd probably vote for Pynchon if it were up to me.) 000
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm a political bot for pointing out facts? Classic Bluesky. Oh well, enjoy your low tax fantasy, I guess. 100
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is about what Scandinavian style social democracy includes, not just about universal healthcare? 000
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Oh yes, let's just cut all the fraud, abuse, and inefficiency - no one has ever thought of that before! I get it, it's nice to imagine you could have a great safety net AND you get someone else to pay for it, but it's a fantasy. If the US wants a Scandi style social democracy, taxes have to go up. 100
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Look at the numbers: US military budget is $1.47 trillion; 1% of this is $14.7 billion. Medicare is $1.1 trillion, Medicare is $700 billion... This is ignoring old age pensions, education, unemployment, parental leave, and any other desirable programs. 1% of the military budget is a rounding error. 400
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That is simply a fantasy, sorry. Again, look at the tax rates of the places that actually have strong safety nets. Denmark doesn't pay for their system through taxing corporations and the 1%! 100
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Taxes WILL go way up. Look at the difference between Scandinavian taxes and American taxes. Personally I think it's worth the higher taxes, but many Americans disagree! 110
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I thought it was an anti-Trump ad for the first half when I saw it live on TV. 051
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I feel like 'Iran tricked our AI into blowing up a bunch of children' is not quite the defence he thinks it is. 1120
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So many of those replies are pure, distilled Bluesky, god damn. 010
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Did they seriously think that would work? They've seen too many gangster films. 000
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The section is about the dangers of armies crossing rivers, so I think this guy must have slipped and fell on some ice, lost his trousers, and then floated downstream on a piece of the broken ice. 221
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Look, I just don't want him sleeping in the same castle as me. 010
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 21/09/2026That doesn't just sound insane, that sounds like a crime! 000
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Some people react very oddly to pain meds! Unlikely, yeah, but I'm trying to be very generous here, lol 020
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I felt ancient a couple years ago when a Top Gun reference resulted in completely blank faces in an IR course I was teaching. Turned out that no one had seen it and only a handful of students had even heard of it... I'm not ready to think about students not having seen LOTR. 160
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 20/09/2026To be honest, we've never really had true austerity in the UK. It would be rather amusing if Labour were the ones to actually push it through, though. 000
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I'm going to be generous and assume it's a shitload of pain meds. Someone who cares about her needs to remove her access to the internet... Absolute mess. 190
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Yeah, as someone who lived in South Africa for a bit in the 1990s, I don't think the two situations are very comparable. 050
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 19/09/2026That makes sense, but is still unfortunate from a grading perspective. Only thing I could think of, sorry =/ 001
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Would the teacher consider going up to your kid individually and requesting the homework? 110
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 18/09/2026According to the city website, Seattle has 517 Landmarks. I feel like that could easily be cut down to like 10-20, lol 1110
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Personally, as an historian, I don't think they should be destroyed, but they should absolutely not have any power, they should only be advisory. 1180
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It's not easily explainable, but one big thing is that people in the 1970s and 1980s had been dealing with inflation their entire lives, while the 2020s inflation was a new experience for a lot of people. The people of 2026 are not the people of 1986 and have different assumptions and expectations. 050
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I feel like a lot of this is probably due to oil/gas prices absolutely collapsing. 010
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026No, no, they just don't want Mossad to think they're a bunch of pussies! 000
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Ahh, interesting, I feel like almost all the Americans I follow/know have been pro-retaliatory tariffs. Interesting/disappointing to hear your perspective on it 🫤 020
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Are there really that many Americans who are not Trump-leaning who are angry at Canada? 200
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I think this is basically it. And, really, this began when AI people who don't understand writing said 'LLMs are great at everything!' It was a natural response of people who understand writing to think the AI people must be lying about it all! AI people have sold LLMs to the public so, so poorly... 000
Tacticus @tacticus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Hey, it was a Scottish king who took over England, not the other way around! 080
