That computer ain’t super.
It’s vital that Sen. Collins be replaced by the people of Maine this November.
First!
Respectfully disagree. If you want access to the sweet, sweet remastered sounds of the Grateful goddamn Dead at their peak, someone needs to pay for the people and infrastructure to make that happen. But yeah, Relisten/archive.org have a lifetime’s worth of awesome free stuff.
I assumed it was just going to be higher quality and organized more slickly. Fingers crossed!
The result has been something like an inverse caricature of Republican complaints about diversity, equity, and inclusion, a system in which the incompetent rise not because of their abilities but because of their sycophancy. Authoritarian regimes behave as the Trump administration is behaving—optimizing for political loyalty rather than competence. Merit, in short, has little to do with it. Hegseth is a prime example. Deeply unqualified for the job and convinced that brutality provides an easy path to victory, he has led the United States to the verge of a strategic defeat with a weaker adversary in Iran. The current cease-fire leaves Iran with a more hard-line government than before, one in total control of a shipping lane crucial to the world economy. The Islamic Republic is arguably in a stronger position today than it was when the war started, and probably in a stronger position than it was before Trump, in his first term, scrapped the Obama-era nuclear deal. On Sunday, Trump posted on his social network a refrain that he and his toadies seem to think is insightful: “If you import The Third World, you become The Third World!” This archaic social Darwinism is the ideological mortar of the Trump project. It fuses Hegseth’s disdain for diversity in the military’s senior leadership and valorization of brutality with the administration’s attack on birthright citizenship and its deployment of federal agents to occupy American cities. It is a worldview that would assume an easy victory against a country like Iran, especially with America’s new, “unwoke” military. Bigotry isn’t just inefficient, as the U.S. military discovered in the 1940s. It also makes you stupid.
Wrote about how Hegseth’s effort to resegregate the upper ranks of the US military ties into the larger MAGA project to restore hierarchies of race and gender: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
This is real
It’s being done in our name
Congressional Republicans are okay with this
It’s already a disaster.
Fixed that for you Spurs...
I’m case 00148406.
If any non-Spurs fan wants to understand how most of us feel about RDZ.
I would follow Spurs to any division in English football.
I will not continue to be an active fan if they appoint RDZ.
I haven't made direct contact with the club on an issue since the Super League

Nope!
You know who will _really_ miss him? Archie Gray. From the Madders videos it’s clear that they’re true besties.
Same. I thought the stadium was such a cash cow that our financial condition was stronger than it actually is.
It’s really well done. Great to see the team and staff interactions.
💯
