One thing this administration may accomplish is rubbing everyone's noses in the fact that evil is not cool, but is in fact a viscerally gross and deeply embarrassing way to be.

This is hands down the worst goddamn bacon I have ever had in my life, and that absolutely includes turkey bacon. If you told me vegan "bacon" exists that's better, I'd believe you. It's not spoiled or anything. It somehow tastes like NOTHING.

Reminds me of random story: I woke up from a coma, realized I had a catheter in me, and used the call button to (apparently) politely but firmly request its removal. The nurse had turned up the volume more than she meant to when she stepped away for a minute, and my request echoed down the hall.

CDR Salamander is such a boring varietal of ex-FGO blockhead. Like the unsalted Quaker rice cakes of That Fucking Guy.

There's a very archetypal guy who was a very Not Operator MOS, got a DUI/DV, and was asked to not come back after doing 3 years, who then made being a fake tough guy former "warfighter" their whole personality. "You were put in for an Article 15 by the CBRN officer, BRYCE."

Yo, Middle East wars aren't far enough back behind us to be nostalgic retro cool. It's like trying to bring back lower back tattoos. You need time to forget how bad some shit really is. Too soon, man.

In fairness, it seems like the IAF is doing pretty great tactically, and wars are won by good tactics overcoming bad strategy all the time... checks notes Oh.

All I do on Facebook is like posts by people I was friends with during the Clinton administration about what colleges their kids got into, but the algorithm is convinced I want to watch videos of women who hate other women for having bachelorette parties or wearing pants.

We really need to just stop take every bugfuck crazy cult at their word when they name themselves things like The Totally Normal Christian Church of Nice Things but believe that we need to use atomic weapons on The Gap because the shorts they sell women are too short or some shit.

Incidentally, this is also why writing about your experiences can be therapeutic. Um, so I hear.

I may be mistaken here, but my impression is that attempting this kind of thing at certain USAF installations is a great way to get liquefied by automatic weapon fire.

A lot of rock & roll epics aren't really worth the extra time, but I'm 100% down for this one.

The canary in the coal mine for everything going wrong in the world was Black Dynamite having worse box office than Undercover Brother.

Everyone trying to rehabilitate Batman & Robin (1997) by declaring it "camp" is wrong. Good camp is fun as hell, but that movie has rancid vibes compared to the TV series.

1973-1991: "Anything the military does might be the next Vietnam!" 1991-2001: "We can have the military do things. It's fine, and this will never change because it's the end of history." 2001-2021: A wild history appears 2025: "What if Vietnams are our kink, and I don't mean for the Phở?"

You can obviously criticize the Batman premise, or specific Batman stories, for having Unfortunate Implications. But asking Batman to be more like the Less Shitty Kennedy Kid's Adventures in Managing a 501(c)(3) or whatever is just jerking off.
