🇷🇺😂🔽 So true! “This is all familiar to us. Basically, Trump is their Zhirinovsky on steroids. He’s constantly doing something outrageous or saying something that everyone ends up quoting and people can’t believe their ears.” — Dmitry Demushkin, Russian nationalist leader

Can someone explain why Trump would want to strike Iran in the next few days? What thoughts are going through his evil+mad brain? How does he imagine the outcome?

I do not understand why people with whom I otherwise agree still use X and buy Tesla cars? Musk is a horror. The only way that ordinary people can show their disdain for the creep is through economic boycott. Plenty of good alternatives.

These GD centrist assholes. The very definition of a day late and a dollar short. Almost as if they aren't on our side. Almost.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy.... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — Dr. Gustave Gilbert, U.S. Military Chief Psychologist in the Nuremberg Trials, Nuremberg Diary

Yesterday, we all saw the video of Kostiantyn Vlasenko, a Ukrainian Defender from the 30th Brigade, being evacuated by drone from a position on the left bank of the Oskil River in the Kupiansk sector, Kharkiv region. I was deeply impacted by the video and his interview.

BREAKING: Katie Zacharia FIRED from her job as press secretary. An official has told Peter Doocy of Fox she is currently “transitioning out” of the role.

my only issue with this is that smoking is going to take too long to kill these fuckers. daringfireball.net/linked/2026/...

Something isn't right here. The AI identifies these software flaws, but 1,000 contractors have to be hired to fix it? Why can't the almighty, omnipotent AI fix these flaws? I think this story is bullshit and the AI ain't working out they had to hire these people to backfill what the AI can't do.

I am ashamed. We pull star link with no warning and a large Russian attack on Kyiv just happens that very night? Betrayal.

America is still getting its ass kicked by Iran. The longer this war, which everyone knows the USA lost and lost badly, goes on, the worse the effects will be.

All I thought when reading this article is how bloody pathetic we are for allowing our military and supporting industries to atrophy to such an extent. This issue predates the current fascist regime and I am not sure when this lack of war fighting stamina became baked in. Major reforms needed.

The United States has lost this war and the faster we sign a treaty and get out the less harm to us. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets for us. Self interest alone dictates taking this action.

"Humans are more closely related to sharks, than spiders are to insects." Many gems in this video, super interesting.

I agree. "How full of shit, all of these farmers are."

Tax the rich. Break up big banks. Primary corporate Democrats. Get Big Money out of politics. The message of the Occupy Movement is as important today as it was 15 years ago.

I can't physically mark these MAGA maggots like in this fantasy, but I do remember all the houses and places that had MAGA flags and signs which they have now removed. These people never will get a pass, all of this, and the awfulness to come, is theirs forever.

Sup Court rejects the mail in ballot order overwhelmingly, 7 to 2. Opinion is unsigned and bare bones Alito & Thomas dissent. Kavanaugh expressly invokes the short time before elections to say it would be arbitrary and capricious to let it proceed Extremely significant result-cd have been disaster.

What is this "unserious" shit that centrists are prattling on about? That particular defect in this administration is not anything that any fucking voter ever thinks about, or would care about. It is a way to avoid saying what the hell you would do to help us ordinary Americans and stop these nazis.

I hope that the sleeping giant of Egypt remains apart from this conflict. I wonder at what point it becomes a world war? Would Egypt be enough to tilt it to being called that? We always said the next world war would start in the Middle East...

What a military disaster/ass kicking this Iran war is! The longer it goes on the more ass is going to get kicked. Sign a fucking treaty and pull the hell out. Green energy is the only way out of this shit, and the USA is rich in resources. Richer still with Canada and Mexico as allies.

Here is the fact: It is impossible to keep any country from having a nuclear weapon that wishes one in the medium term, much less the long term. As time go on, technology and knowledge diffuses through humanity, as it should, and these things become inevitable. We have to find ways of peace.

If you are a liberal, or simply like democracy, you can not in good conscience buy a Tesla. There are many EV's that one could buy instead. Why is this so hard?

NEW: Thermal drone footage shows the Microsoft-backed DataOne AI data center in Vineland, NJ is running dozens of gas generators. None of them have permits. A Floodlight visual investigation with @us.theguardian.com:

It just kills me. We are all nothing more than Mayflies, all but identical to each other, but with the ability to live really well with everything on this abundant planet if we would so choose. We do not so choose. That is our tragedy. So far. The fight and winning is far from over.

I have been playing with Chatgpt and Google's Gemini and these things are wrong all the damn time. So much so that their utility is very low, I will not pay for one as it is of almost no value to me. As time goes on and AI's are trained on AI slop, the answers will get worse and worse.

OMG. This is terrible, those poor people never stood a chance.

I found this lovely 1g commercial joint in the street by the curb when walking my dog. What a great reward!

I give no fucks for so called "American" farmers who in their vile hearts just a bunch money-grubbing entitled pieces of white trash. We need farmers and food. Nobody needs <American" farmers or food. Fuck 'em.

It's like watching a mass carnage event, WTF!? Poor robots.

Why is it never framed as a US national security imperative to go 100% carbon free energy? This goes for every country too. China seems to understand this best.

This is the end of the American Empire. The soft power upon which it was based was fully destroyed by Trump with his mad antics and the hard power of our military needs major redesign in all areas to keep up with the new way of warfare. Trumps incompetence just worsened the coming defeat.

What a coward Trump is! And depraved; hiding behind the civilian reports and staff and having them be a decoy as if their lives don't matter. They didn't sign up for that. We should hand Trump over to the Iranians and let justice take its course.
