marine corps boards crossing out their instructions "expel trans marines" and writing in "we keep this trans marine" is, frankly, a great example of what it means that a society is more than just its government

First five pen-and-paper RPGs: West End's D6 Star Wars Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness Vampire: The Masquerade D&D 3E GURPS

That's honestly the best encapsulation of it I've heard.

Man, I don't even want to think about all the new stuff they're going to add to our annual training classes after this administration.

I wonder what a Texan furry would bring up first...that they're a furry or that they're a Texan? Honestly kind of the same question I have about furry pilots, so there could be layers to this.

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

I'm not going to get my hopes up, but elite defection will happen at some point. The leaks and soft flipping started last year in like the first quarter. These are not the sort of rats that will wait for the next lifeboat.

Even if this was actually the case, you probably wouldn't want to say it out loud if you were part of such a small and widely reviled group.

I will never get tired of posting this.

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia

I'm curious about this. I suspect the amount of diesel Russia would have to export to the US to avert our impending crisis is probably at least as much as you'd have to remove from Russia to cause it to collapse.

Good thing Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell aren't alive to see this.

Am I the only one waiting for a bunch of follow on stories where Young MC or Morris Day and the Time or whoever announce they're withdrawing from this because they didn't know it was a public execution?

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

This is North Korea shit.

I know it's like the least off-putting thing about him, but can someone just draw some eyebrows onto Thiel? Maybe with the same dye he uses on his hair so they match?

I think even his closest allies are starting to get tired of the "From this day on, the official language of San Marcos is Swedish!" shit.

lol new defense chart from “How the Army Fights”

You know who this would never happen to? A flag officer. Partly because so many of them do a ton of running, but mostly because they have the experience to run against the crowd giving high fives specifically to avoid this kind of optic.

Only 48 hours. I remember 2016, when we locked things down for like a month. By the end of it, it was like Irish monasteries looking at a steep decline in trade and demanding the Vikings come back.
