Every sailor or Marine who has ever done sea time knows intimately how stupid this is

"I would've won Vietnam very quickly"

"I would've won Vietnam very quickly" is as good a psychopath test as any

Was in the Albany airport the other day, smelled a cig in one of the men's room stalls beyond the security checkpoint, thought to myself 'there's a real one'

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

"Director Patel has not targeted political or personal adversaries"

lmao storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Article’s claims that early in Director Patel’s tenure meetings and briefings were rescheduled due to “alcohol-fueled nights,” that members of his security detail had difficulty waking him because he was “seemingly intoxicated,” and that a request for “breaching equipment” was made because he had been unreachable behind locked doors, are false. None of these events occurred. Prior to publication, the FBI expressly informed Defendants that these claims were “totally false,” “made up,” and “made up to the point of satire.” As is standard protocol, easily verified, and would have been known by any credible FBI source, breach equipment is provided to all FBI protection details. The claim that it was requested or provided to Director Patel’s detail because he “had been unreachable behind locked doors” is pure fantasy

Most of Patel’s denials in the Atlantic lawsuit are pro forma, except for this one claiming his detail wouldn’t have needed to request breach equipment because they already had it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

[puts on glasses] well if he wants me to review them again

Moved there less than 15 hours ago and it's "we" already??

I get what you're saying, but I think "To be fair, that private tuition is low, and maybe he took advantage of the school choice program that disincentivizes rural enclaves from building public schools" actually gets at the depth of the problem here quite nicely. Tho I bet it resonates with Mainers

Not that elites can't have good politics -- one or two Roosevelts come to mind -- but if you're looking for the new politics, this ain't it by far

Super helpful of this former Platner classmate to start with an anecdote about his lefty proletarian politics in a student council election at a private day school with five-figure tuition

A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

i dont understand, 2 days ago i was told there was a deal, i was told it was over and we got everything we wanted, i was told the strait would never be closed again, i was told all this just as markets were hitting their stride on friday afternoon

Professor Meredith Clark discusses how concentrated platform ownership affected Black communities YouTube video by Cambridge Disinformation Summit

UNC Chapel Hill Professor Meredith Clark:

"You can't break up the existence and the background and the history [of the Black community on Twitter].

But you can control the means of information production.

So you buy the platform."

This is bog-standard Proud Boys and Patriot Front stuff. This has been what the white right tells anyone with a podcast or a steno pad about their "movement" for a decade.

Palantir just reported $570 million in revenue from US government contracts last quarter alone.

No matter how bad things get, there's always something to live for, and that something is watching the New York Mets suffer

NL East standings showing the Mets in last place, six games below .500 and 1.5 games behind the Phillies

Them: Man you must be having a tough season as a Phillies fan

Me: Actually,

Kash Patel tweet: Memo to the fake news - the only time I’ll ever actually be concerned about the hit piece lies you write about me will be when you stop. Keep talking, it means I’m doing exactly what I should be doing. And no amount of BS you write will ever deter this FBI from making America safe again and taking down the criminals you love.

and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad

Wow I never realized how many of you would be pining for the price of gas at an upstate Stewarts
