It's not enough to execute only Hegseth for this, the executions have to go all the way down the chain of command in order to deter soldiers from obeying illegal orders in the future.

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, hooded, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge.

“They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

I don't know what the action item would even be here, is it so reporters have astroturfed leverage to ask candidates to condemn someone that neither they nor the voters have ever heard of

"Do you agree with Glup Shitto"

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

claims to be called Global Tetrahedron, logo is a dodecahedron

wake up sheeple!

No we should definitely tilt the playing field against the fascist party. There's a pretty strong case that we should de facto ban the Republican Party.

alex.crite SKARS • Already Down + Follow ... molly conger @socialistdogmom if you come out of a pandemic year with $2.6 billion in profits claiming that you have "razor-thin margins," what i hear is that you'd use that razor to slit your employees' throats before you shaved a cent off your CEO's $21 million compensation package. Kroger O @kroger •4d Replying to @lilchurropdx Grocery stores operate on razor-thin margins and these mandates increase our operating costs by 20%- 30% (depending on market), putting any struggling store in jeopardy. 3:06 PM • 4/19/21 • Twitter for iPhone 479 Retweets 9 Quote Tweets 2,460 Likes

Cycle of life: i just saw a 2021 Tweet from @socialistdogmom.bsky.social pop up on Instagram so now i have to share it here to Bluesky in hopes that someone will recognize the metacommentary and post it over to Threads or something, for it to eventually wind up on facebook

the funniest thing about rod dreher is that his entire career has been this way. he has always been the private project of a single reactionary ghoul who can afford to subject the entire world to what should’ve been the inner monologue of a very cruel, stupid man.

but when people point out it's wrong the people spreading the misinfo are just like "but even 1 is too many". ok so then why are you saying it's 62 million if 1000 i just as bad

White House Collaborator's Dinner

that is, the LGB Alliance (fan group for German model train company Lehmann Gross Bahn) are rightly FURIOUS with the LGB Alliance (UK astroturf lobbyists who dubiously claim to be pro-lesbian, gay and bisexual, but are VERY anti-trans, and consequently have no friends)

for sullying their good name

I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

The ‘public trust crisis’ in science largely comes down to ‘scientists tell people things they don’t want to hear’. Applies equally to climate science

something about being in my late 30s really has me sitting at the window watching the birds jumping in the little dishes of water i set out for them in the garden, i can’t get enough of this shit despite having no preexisting interest in the business of birds.

uh oh there’s a whole store that only sells stuff that will make birds come over to your house and the people at the bird feeder store are very friendly, i think the birds are paying them off

They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.

I could watch this all day

We need a labeler here that lets everyone know.

ACTUALLY WENT TO THE 2026 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER

I think you could also call this "class solidarity."

Media, universities, corporations see fascism or antifascism as secondary to protecting the power and reputation of their own industries/sectors/classes.

hell yeah I'm pro-LGBT:

Lesbians
Giving
Bazooka
Training

Every morning that I have to go running I scroll Instagram and it’s terrible and I scroll LinkedIn and it’s terrible and I scroll bluesky and it’s terrible and finally I realize that the suffering induced by jogging is preferable to the suffering induced by scrolling

Basically this says: you can either be anti-trans or be someone who enjoys the core values and benefits of the European Union, but you cannot be both.

Malcolm Tucker was intelligent, focused, and strategic, but he was also rude, overconfident and relentlessly unprofessional.

That's the kind of thing you can get away with in a TV show when the writers ensure you really are the smartest guy in every room.

In real life it leads to shit like this.

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Mine's kinda more niche:

A lot of high ranking Triple AAA Video Game execs around GamerGate, chose to not oppose GamerGate as forcefully, as they saw a lot of feminists and journalists targeted by GamerGate as also pushing for Unionization of workers, so they viewed Gaters as "Enemy of my enemy".

never gonna shut up about how Queen Elizabeth died like 6 months before they said so. you know they have body doubles for these people. we’ve all seen “Dave.” they just had to limp her over the finish line to 70 years to get her jubilee and make her the longest reigning monarch

NooooOoOoooo I need all my personal choices and preferences morally validated by society

Trying to make nicotine into a secret health hack is the sign of a weak, soft mind. Do the thing that's bad for you, accept that it feels kind of good for a second because you're a drug addict. Like an adult
