Feels like a good time to point out that the military conducted a war game in 2002 called the Millennium Challenge that simulated a war with Iran and they had to rig the rules once it became clear the US was going to lose catastrophically

Well GenZ, you wanted to know where Millennials ever "got it into their heads" that Democrat administrations were ALWAYS preferable to Republicans? Welcome to our right-on-schedule every-2-decades Mideast War that the GQP starts and liberals will then have to get us out of.

it is really funny how a republican senate voted to install a Democrat who's a member of a non-Christian cult and who was almost certainly on some kind of Iranian payroll as the nation's spymaster

I have to imagine Bernie Sanders feels about 90% of "his movement" post-2020 the way I feel about digital media as an "original wave" YouTube creator

People are just dangling bait out there for you to hate on Dems while the GOP is right there. Don’t. Take. The. Bait.

They will continue to terrorize us and continue to escalate until we stop them. It's that simple. #NoKings needs to be a warm up to a summer of direct action and disruption. We don't have until the midterms. I can't stress that enough.

I will vote for any Democrat who vows to tear these down, and restore Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden, upon winning the Presidency. I want every "permanent" monument to #TraitorTrump ripped out root and branch.

I don't know what it's going to take to stop this kind of thing from happening, but I am 100% sure that the answer isn't "Andrew Cuomo."

If you live in the United States, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. government created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. — @djrothkopf.bsky.social

Imagine the next generation OS they could have made with all that money, instead of just bolting more questionable things on to the corpse of Windows Vista.

Trumpian incompetence continues to give me a bit of hope. Miller is driving all this and he's a spoiled brat and a bully. He thought all he needed to do to turn ICE into the stormtroopers of his dreams was to throw a massive tantrum. But of course that's not how actual adults get actual results

A lot of Americans are evil. That’s why the perfect campaign messaging doesn’t matter. MAGAts don’t want a better life. They want to hurt people.

Rereading Neuromancer and some 80s and 90s tech culture writing is reminding me we used to imagine the internet would be a weird and individualistic culture of DIY hardware and strange people in strange corners battling corporate takeover. Instead we got platforms and everyone wanting an iPhone.

I've been a Superman fan since I was old enough to remember. I bought the comics. I idolized Christopher Reeve. I still mourn. Superman - from Siegel through Doomsday and more is an important formative part of my psyche. The story of Superman isn't about power. It's about duty. Gunn gets it.

Everyone complaining abou Dems not fighting hard enough need to give folks like Brad Lander, Alex Padilla, and Chris Van Hollen their flowers when they risk their personal safety to fight fascism. You need carrots to go with your sticks.

For real, damn man, how dare you do good in the presence of your fellow man, fuck. We really gotta call out the use of the phrase "virtue signaling" as being the shitty clap back that it is and not reward people for idolizing being absolute fuckin' bastards.

The thing about all the conflicting signals and reports about what he intends to do re: Iran is that they're all true in the total chaos and shambolic pinballing as he agrees with whoever was the last person to talk to him, and they're all on umpteen different pages with conflicting agendas.

Saw someone ask ChatGPT a medical question and it was shockingly wrong, almost like it's not an intelligent, all-knowing brain floating in cloud space, but actually just a powerful text predictor... Nothing makes me lose respect more than someone using the argument "I asked ChatGPT" in anything

Since Sen. Mike Lee is going viral for mocking murdered lawmakers, can journalists finally ask him what he meant when, days before the Jan 6 Capitol attack, he fretted to Mark Meadows over "the way..Ted [Cruz] is going about this effort"? What did he know about plans for Jan 6? 1/

A fun fact~ Next year will be the 50th anniversary of when trans women were first eligible to compete in elite women's sports. 50 years on & we have not won a single Olympic or Commonwealth Games medal. No Grand Slams or elite world titles or records in a single sport.
