Lol #NAFO

If Bluesky is dying then Twitter is a brain-eating zombie

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

I should post about it more. I also know my country's emergency isn't actually as bad as Ukraine's. But the emergency of government in the US *is* killing people (including Ukrainians). I would hope most US Fellas share my view that it's less about "news" and more about the immediacy of threat.

My cat has a book recommendation

"My puppet president is attacking my primary military ally. I remain a master strategist."

This was 3.2% of the US population based on last year's census. 0.3% to go.

The TLDR of this thread is that, based on Israel having its way with Iran, Russia is totally fucking cooked in any attempt to establish air-superiority (or even ground-based area denial) against *any* force based on current US-NATO military technology.

All this asymmetrical resistance that Iran was supposedly able to offer against a superior adversary (like the US) was total bullshit, huh? The technological gap between 1st-world Western militaries and these Russian-based "2nd" world forces is so incredibly vast that there is no comparison.

Musk fell back in line quickly. I wonder what Trump and/or Putin threatened him with.

Offline, LA residents report normalcy. Trump says there’s mass carnage. This article is good - it describes the alternate realities on divergent platforms. The feeling of not being able to trust your eyes. But it uses the word “misinformation” and that’s not it. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

Another red-pilled Trumper that deserves a good bonking. Wonder why I'm seeing so many all of the sudden 🫩 #NAFO @deanakclark.bsky. social

Hey there #NAFO I have a red-pilled POS for you

Trump has wanted a police state with himself sitting at the top as its undisputed boss since his first administration. The standoff in L.A. shows how truly eager he is to turn America’s vast warmaking powers inward on his domestic foes and critics. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I wish this could be made a major issue for next AUS election. Lots of revenue has been forgone but, better late than never. And a new road map for tax needs to cover ALL resources: fossil fuels, minerals, water, everything! Come on ALP. Support conversations now & get planning. #auspol

Seth gets it

Again, I say this about every single prosecutor who resigns: If they leave, Trump gets to replace them with a loyalist. Resistance is easier from inside, and it may involve losing battles in order to win the war.

The normies are never in favor of outgroups being treated like human beings. Ignore them. If you see injustice, fight it. The normies will change their opinions when the zeitgeist shifts, and the zeitgeist will shift when we, the open-eyed humanitarians, pick it up and move it.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

This is a twofold thing: A lack of group socialization (the UK is losing one club every couple months), and gravitation to weed.

Ok now it's illegal af

Happy anniversary to the Council of Nicaea! @xkcd.com 👻
