  1. This tale contains multitudes. First, I love that she paid extra for the “Cyberbeast.” But more I want to know how SHE ended up buying this thing. Not to be too stereotypical but these things are extremely stupid in a VERY male-brain coded way. A very specific male brain. I bet the orders skew 80-20 male.
  2. The a-list chud online personalities get swatted while the d-listers get this treatment. Huge LULZ at the FBI tracking pizza orders.
  3. The Office of Net Assessment is (was) among the only defense and policy entities in the U.S. government doing serious long-term planning. Giant own goal here, it was instrumental to mapping a path to the end of the Cold War and got ahead of the China issue early.
  4. I care very deeply about the well being of the defense industrial base and also think that the idea of “spending too much on defense” is something we can decide for ourselves is extremely naive in the multipolar world that DJT’s team is trying to explicitly create.
  5. I’m a bit less sanguine about this, I think it’s really a shit sandwich versus giant douche. I’d feel better if there was a track record of Dems filling the void of crises with good messaging. I’m also worried there’s no off-ramp. I lean more towards going ahead and having a fight and getting the GOP on the defensive for once. I’m just not as confident that there’s a path to a win.
  6. Fuck I hope the EU will unplug Twitter.
  7. It’s so perfect.
  8. He’s mentioned it several times and experience holds that what he says out loud he tries to do. I expect some serious move to this. If I were betting today, JD will name him his running mate and promise that he’ll be the real leader.
  9. NC has some real fucked up gerrymandering because Asheville is not a place I’d pick to go red.
  10. “It’s called locavorism, shitlib. It’s when you do your grocery shopping at farmers markets or maybe you join a coop and have a community kitchen garden. You go to little wineries and vineyards on weekends to do tasting and appreciate the local terroir. You wouldn’t get it, you’re out of touch with regular Americans who work for a living. Why don’t you try keeping urban chickens.”
  11. I see we’ve reached “having fewer choices and they’re more expensive is good, actually” levels of cope.
  12. Steak N Shake is really failing and I see they are trying to save themselves with the chud demographic. I really hate our country right now.
  13. As Biden worked with Europe to get sanctions passed, an issue that came up was European payments for gas and oil (that they hadn’t weaned off of) that Russia insisted on channeling to sanctioned Russian banks. Biden issued a waiver for these payments only to get broader sanctions in place and Europe vowed to work to get off Russian energy. That waiver has expired and hasn’t yet been renewed meaning that Europeans risk triggering secondary sanctions. It’s a small bit of pressure that also guts Europe, it’s not a new tool.
  14. Joe Rogan invited on Hitler apologist and Holocaust revisionist Darryl Cooper, who has described himself as a “non-racist fascist.” Really making the case that more democrats need to go on to the podcast.
  15. Matt Taibbi’s brain has the electrical activity of barbershop floor sweepings.
  16. Just missing some shit about the American people giving him a historic mandate.
  17. Unsurprising because they clearly violated regs with that process. There is some humor here, Project 2025 had smart evil fucks who mostly mapped out the pain points and levers for dismantling the federal government, and then Elon and the League of Extraordinary Incels got to fuck up the implementation. Sadly, we are closer to a SCOTUS decision on the “Donald J. Trump is the living embodiment of law and the Constitution” doctrine.
  18. Let’s pour one out for all the fake leftists and libertarians like Glenn Greenwald who will tie themselves into knots to avoid calling out DJT. “Deported for protesting Biden” LMFAO.
  19. I’m sure this is just fine and there’s no need to be concerned.
  20. Someone should do a study on the constitutional inability of these people to not shout the quiet part out loud with a bullhorn. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/13/nx-s1-5326015/mahmoud-khalil-deportation-arrests-trump
  21. Today in the Oval Office the President of the United States States repeated his stance that the U.S.-Canada border is artificial and then threatened to pull a Crimea operation in Greenland after Greenlanders voted for the “slow-roll independence” party. If any president before Trump did this you’d have bipartisan 25th amendment movement.
  22. We are just hurting the U.S. economy and starting shit. The entire premise of the South Park movie was premised around the stupidity and obnoxiousness of stirring up a conflict with Canada.
  23. To bring the discussion back into the realm of the informational, I thought I’d offer a bit on the process and rights people have with regards to visas and deportation. Visa Applications Overseas: Applicants for most classes of visa overseas, especially non-immigrant visas, have almost no appeal rights. In fact, for most cases, they are assumed to be intending illegal immigrants until they prove otherwise to a consular officer. Under a provision of immigration law, a consular officer can also refuse a visa if it is suspected the person intends to use the visa in a “manner inconsistent with its purpose.” This basically means that a person can be denied because the officer doesn’t like the cut of his jib, and officers are encouraged to deploy this provision when an applicant gives them the ick or bad vibes. This is basically a superpower. Courts have established that consular officer decisions overseas are not subject to appeal or judicial review. Admin law judges are also endowed with this narrow superpower for their decisions. Visa Revocations: If a person is outside the US, a visa can be revoked at any time by the State Department with no review or appeal. However, there almost always needs to be a specific reason, simply “cause you’re sus” won’t work. Last year the Supreme Court ruled that DHS can revoke visas inside the United States for “good and sufficient cause” with no review or appeal. Legal Permanent Residents (Green Card): Now you have significant rights. A green card holder can have his status revoked but only for specific cause. Usually, this is fraud, misrepresentation, or criminal activity. Support for terrorism is also a reason. A revocation must be approved by an immigration judge. It is not a simple discretionary decision. And that’s what the government needs to do here. If this person has supported terrorism then the government needs to go before an immigration law judge and make the case. I suspect if they do, it will be extremely flimsy.
