Ah sorry lol should have finished your preview first! Is this a demotion for Carlos from sweetie?
God no I'd honestly rather max again even. Who are this year's enemies? Only obvious candidates to me are George, Liam, and Lance
A central bank that simultaneously watches the job market weaken and inflation risks re-emerge has few good options.
Hell yeah we're truly bringing back the 70s; it's stagflation time baby

I've been thinking about this Pew survey all week. It's incredibly depressing and makes me wonder what it would be like to live among people who didn't despise one another. washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/03/06/americans-immoral-unethical-survey/?itid=hp_more-top-stories_p002_f006
I dunno if 40 years' worth of compiling target packages counts as "careful planning"
Seeing what Republicans are saying about a War Powers Resolution just makes reinforces in my mind that we’re already living under an authoritarian regime.

We're gonna unleash Chiang (lose a winnable war, leave the rump regime ruling over a territory that hates their guts, and cause unresolved geopolitical problems for the next half a century)

Hola, I am allergic to wretchedness
Generally speaking there's been very limited deliberate targeting of FVEY nationals, and even incidental collection on them is usually treated as you would your own citizens (e.g. minimized identifiers)
Forever wars are good and easy to win

Hey remember the GCC
WELL WELL WELL NOT SO EASY TO FIND A PLAN TO TERMINATE A CONFLICT THAT DOESN’T SUCK SHIT HUH?
You know what sure, why not, let's just airdrop Pahlavi in the middle of Tehran and let him work his magic
I think one day all the empires simply got together and talked it out and everything was fine after that so hopefully that's what happens again
Racking my brain trying to figure out what finally put an end to imperialist adventurism; feels like maybe it was just a sudden burst of inspiration, right?
Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.
Who could have possibly seen this sort of thing coming
Understanding our current predicament requires acknowledging that every single conservative from the establishment “intellectuals” like Ross to the lowest jug hooting simpleton has driven themselves insane via a media diet that hasn’t communicated a single true fact to any of them in 6 years
there's a new world order waiting to chestburst out of this one and we're currently in the "involuntarily shuddering and contorting and vomiting at dinner" phase
And all I can 3D print are ICE whistles and knockoff Warhammer
