Maybe I’ll treat my family to 4 or 5 eggs.

First ever Secretary of State to just get out there and say “we are weak, come walk all over us”

Keir Starmer lays down Ukraine peace demand ahead of Trump talks www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

CPT Blazkowicz are you there?

yearning for...new catholic schism based on excommunication of american soft-sedevacantist using catholicism as cultural signifier instead of actual belief system

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

Kudos to GOP Senator Thom Tillis for calling out Trump’s dangerous policy of surrendering to war criminal Putin. Now, he and other pro-Ukraine Republicans should start using their power as U.S. senators to restrain Trump as much as possible.

Is "pressing tough demands" a framing for this that properly contexutalizes it for readers? Normalizing insane thug behavior from the United States that was properly considered a scandal in the first term. Why write the story like this? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

I had a pretty maximalist view of how bad things were going to get, but even I did not expect "normalizing the seig heil" to be one of the bullet points.

I cannot stop laughing. This was built in Alabuga and shot down by Ukrainian AD. It's an Iranian design, but they have to pretend it wasn't built and fielded by their friends in Moscow

I had to read this sentence and now you do too

It is way too on the nose than trump is starting his second term to try to shake down Ukraine… again

Reading Reinhold Niebuhr again is illuminating in these times. For example, from The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness (1944), p. 185: “If America achieves maturity, the primary mark of it must be the willingness to assume continuing responsibility in the world community of nations.”

The purge of senior officers who have served with distinction on the battlefield and off should send a shiver down the spine of any American who cares about an apolitical military.

i’ve never really bothered to learn about the memecoin world because it was so obviously crooked and fucked up, but this look at the argentinian memecoin libra and america’s own melania coin and just HOW crooked and fucked up these things are is absolutely fascinating youtu.be/Ud6GuH7gSDw?...

Holy shit it is real Gripen hours

Forcing them to live in fear of their constituents is something you can weaponize, actually

People being rude to service workers is a red flag both in needlessly being a dickhead to someone but also in that you can tell they appreciate it when you make their work a little easier and who doesn’t want that shit? That shit feels amazing. A waiter being happy? That shit makes your weekend

THIS.
