The Russian navy has more than its fair share of problems, but this is mostly an artifact of Turkey closing off the black sea to resupply.

Going to start unfollowing people who retweet Yashar Ali's BREAKING tweets where he's just stealing content from actual reporters/outlets. Dude is a grifting scammer. Don't give him your eyeballs.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

[pointing at something republicans have done] this is why democrats are bad

It is insanely obvious that Elon Musk is illegally exercising the powers of a principal officer of the United States in violation of the appointments clause

its beyond fucked up that a bunch of self-described leftists are making a folk hero out of someone who is more or less politically indistinguishable from a DOGE kid

It’s funny that Musk likes this scene so much since the basic plot of the film is that the Bobs randomly lay people off, reward them very worst worker, and destroy the company

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judicial] in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self–appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” (James Madison, Federalist No. 51)

This smug gleeful piece revels in scolding the dumb libs for being cringe and caring about things. It welcomes fascist Trump’s Ukrainian surrender and insists resisting against fascist Putin is impossible. People with seething contempt for EU liberals but resigned acceptance of fascism are fascist.

This is totally unfair to the people who made history just by being feckless schmucks, like Louis XVI or the Duke of Windsor

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

I take the bold stance that misogyny is extremely bad even when it’s applied to white cis straight women with federal jobs who kinda remind you of your mom.

the Democrats have supported a minimum wage increase for literally decades. Even Bill Clinton—an avid proponent of moving the party to the right—supported a minimum wage increase. If the minimum wage was electoral magic, Ds would have won every election for the last forty years.

The MAGAs are really, really blatantly firing a ton of women in the federal government and military for the crime of being women, and it is embarrassing when people ignore or downplay this.

His brain is cooked

sirota sephiroth-posted "we are going to go all the way to the convention with a plurality after the moderates fail to consolidate then dare them to blow up the coalition by not making me the candidate" and immediately thereafter the moderates consolidated. this is compared to murder

what I can’t work out is how you even had a 2020 tweet stuck in your Bluesky drafts to send

another move straight out of the abusive dad playbook: he's willing to "have a discussion" and "hear out your concerns" but if you start to get heated and especially if you name what he did wrong, you're out of line and he'll grandstand about how nice he was to even listen

You realize that it's more than 12 right?

As we approach the 4th and 11th anniversaries of the war that Russia started, it is important to remember that this has always been a blatant land grab that turned genocidal as soon as they realized Ukrainians do not want to be Russians

"The nation is in a domestic abuse crisis, we are being ruled by domestic abusers." Scream this from the rooftops

yep. the strangest thing is that he doesn't even have to moderate himself: he just needs to focus on anti-Trumpism over Tory policy (that's what Dougie did!) but the Federal Tories have too many people in love with Trump for him to do that

“It funds work that makes no sense like giving CT scans to homeless people” The research was to address the fact that unhoused people have a mortality rate for lung cancer that’s more than 2x that of housed people. CT is the gold standard for lung cancer screening. Doesn’t make sense to him, though

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

don't want to be too Freudian but let's be honest, too many people's understanding of authoritarianism is the woman who was the dictator of the first 18 years of their life

>clearly erratic and mentally unraveling billionaire with a history of open drug use that is currently in custody battles with multiple different women while running around on a stage with a chainsaw is also the shadow president Armando Iannucci is getting lazy tbh.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Literally just loudly and constantly hate Donald Trump and pretend to have a tolerance for middle aged women. You can be as left wing as you want. Just do those two things.

I’m not sure how brain-dead you have to be to believe that local hegemonies are inherently more humane than the US acting as a distant guarantor.

They’re gonna have affirmative action for white people in the NBA before this stupid administration is finished.

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

The Republican Party has been the motivating force behind most visceral patriotism in my life, because their efforts to destroy the cosmopolitan liberal democracy in which I was born have made me realize that I am in fact quite attached to it, and willing to countenance a lot in it’s defense.

Me (pretty sure i'm right): Well I could be wrong here but Guy I'm arguing with (never been right in his life): Listen up and maybe you'll learn something you idiot child,

GENDERRRRRRR

bob, you were an adult, one presumes, from 2016 to 2020

Wow, what a surprise, oh my god

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

My working theory is the American political divide is “people with horrifically abusive parents versus people who either aren’t and didn’t have those or have decided it’s wrong” The authority obsession is absolutely “I believe my dad was right to hit me and my mom, because if I didn’t I’d be bad”

man it's so rich to be told that leftists "warned libs about this" when the entire past year was libs screaming about how dangerous it was going to be to reelect trump and leftists replying "yeah i don't care"
