Caq promising to get rid of first past the post in 2018, then saying in 2022 that it was delayed due to the pandemic but that they'd do it after the 2022 election, only to get zero seats in 2026 because of first past the post, is deeply funny

RAILGUN WARNING RAILGUN WARNING RAILGUN WARNING RAILGUN WARNING RAILGUN WARNING RAILGUN WARNING RAILGUN WARNING will haunt my dreams and nightmares for weeks and weeks. Ac8 is great

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

I grew up on Cold War spy stories and all of them are retroactively ruined at this point because how do you take a life and death plot to place a mid-level agent seriously when real actual life involves “bill pulte named DNI”

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

I still do not understand why Democrats in Congress did not pick an enormous fight over this.

*talking to teenage militant atheist self* current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

The most New York aspect of this is the caller who, after learning she’s speaking with the mayor of NYC, immediately reverts to asking him to handle her question about whether recycling will pick up her mirror which is “not too big and not too small”

lmao

More video games need to let you fight modern attack helicopters with trebuchets

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

So the US will either be leaving the conflict in 1-3 weeks with the strait still closed, or be attacking civilian energy structures. That's uh, super clarifying.

>it is the 1980s >the Russians are mired in a big war against a neighbor >there's a tanker war in the Hormuz strait >US ships are firing at Iran >the USN realizes it's MCM capabilities are completely inadequate after years of under investments >Trump is talking about taking Kharg Island

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR WHY did the U.S. go to war? A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other. 🧵

honestly kinda wild that we really just made the Ryan Doctrine real

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

important reminder for any remaining government lawyers staring down this nightmare case load: real winners quit

ICE agents crashed directly into a 19-year-old refugee's car, pulled him out from the wreck, threw him on the ground, then rushed him off to detention before he could locate the immigration papers in his car that proved he's here lawfully. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

political malpractice that this chart hasnt been seared into the brains of every single american through advertising and social media

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went hunting for dinosaur bones in the Dakotas with child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

CHRÉTIEN: We burned the White House, but we would not repeat it. HARPER: Part of it's been torn down by the current incumbent.

Canadian Conservative Convention Night 2 Summary:

Warsh is absolutely not who I would pick to run the FOMC but I cannot stress enough that he is a massive bullet dodged and there is little evidence he will serve as a weapon to dismantle Fed independence. That would not have been true of other potential nominees.

honestly, what the fuck

Good lord Putin doesnt even rig it this big

It's actually important to attack the enemy where they are strong when you have the time so they don't have any strengths when it enters the final stretch before an election when you can concentrate on where they are weakest

I know - I know! - that the nobel peace prize plays into this, that he's literally been demanding the Norwegian government force the nobel committee to give it to him but I still can't actually believe that we're ending the post-WW2 Atlantic order because of that and the mercator projection

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

He's insane.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military
