In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Someone near here quite recently booked tickets to see Ancient Mycenae in Greece, but actually booked Ancient Messene, by assuming that the web translate didn't function properly.

Only about 95 miles out. Found out at the entrance to Mycenae.

What an idiot that person was...

My last pair - all online, frames $9, lenses $120

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

So you are the Christ, yes the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine
Change my water into wine
That's all you need do
So I'll know it's all true
Come on you King of the Jews

LORD, WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT FOR THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?

The world's worst dealmaker screws up the Iran negotiations Forget the "Art of the Deal” myth.

"There may eventually be an agreement to end the war, mostly b/c the president is desperate to extricate himself from a conflict he blundered into. But it won’t be b/c Trump is such a terrific dealmaker. In fact, the man who made his reputation on 'Art of the Deal' remains world’s worst negotiator."

Orban defeated: Good morning and goddamn it's a beautiful day All of a sudden, after months of total darkness, there is hope.

America learns about "personalist regimes" the hard way Truth Social posts are no way to run a country (or war).

"In 24 hours, Trump seesawed from being prepared to enact a literal genocide on the Iranian people to deciding the Iranian govt was his business partner.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

He's only got 6 more hours to write it.

Don't make me agree with MTG, Tucker Carlson and fking Alex Jones.
FFS, how deranged does he have to get before "moderate" republicans rebel?
