Stupidest part of this is that it will 100% play well with the electorate and national media. We’re the wealthiest country ever and the most important things to us as voters are meaningless tax cuts (at the expense of living better lives) and gas prices

I sometimes wonder if we just named "soft power" something like "tall turgid thrusting power" would these guys have been more in favour of it and thereby less self undermining.

Confirmed that the Trump administration knows Russia is helping Iran target US assets, and yet the admin is still lifting sanctions on Russian oil and treating Russia as if it’s some kind of ally, not a global threat that’s already invaded another country

The Republican Party is busted as fuck

β€œBut how serious is it?”

According to the national media and the most powerful members of his political party, any hint of plagiarism β€” even if it’s just a common phrasing or unclear attribution β€” is a fireable offense, regardless of how incidental it is

Not as cool as those originals, but these are like 20yo now and still my main wheelset. Other than some brake track dings, they’re still perfect πŸ₯°

Is that Luis Suarez shifting nervously behind him? What the fuck was this gathering where he was joking about invading sovereign nations?

Plus any revenue generated from this would just become meaningless income tax cuts

Saw Midwinter Break the other day. Masterpiece of pacing, shot composition, and character study by Polly Findlay. Leslie Manville and CiarΓ‘n Hinds are amazing in it.

Just throwing some good news out into the world ;(

From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for β€œIAEA” wrong.
They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel

Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

If you voted for Trump, this is on you.

If you voted third party, this is on you.

If you chose not to vote at all, this is on you.

Your reasons are irrelevant.

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $
