Do all you can to minimize your own contribution, even if it feels futile.
The US better only invade English speaking countries from here on out because it’ll be quite a while until someone agrees to be an interpreter for us.
I'm a retired Marine, served on the 24 MEU a decade before the Afghanistan evacuation, and know people who were involved in getting people out of Afghanistan when it collapsed. I also know a lot of people who are alive now because of the courage of interpreters in OIF/OEF and this enrages me.
the sourcing on this is hilarious, even by mirror standards ("standards")
Omaha gets a positive shout-out from Karrie Jacobs. (!)
Pure evil.

There’s no crying in baseball!!!! 😭
This seems not great, in conjunction with the Palantir manifesto and whatnot….
I don’t necessarily think that it’s useful for serious political figures to endeavor to fully dissolve — as opposed to regulate and constrain — corporate entities, but I’d make an exception for Palantir. It cannot coexist with liberal democracy and it openly says so
We don't know which Cabinet secretary will be forced to resign next, but we know it'll be either Brooke Rollins or Linda McMahon because they're the last two women left.
